That's why I said it was surprising. If we all knew how he survived it wouldn't be surprising would it?
Read Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan. Crysis 2's storyline is NOT original, it's basically a copy and paste of characters from Altered Carbon.
Laurens Bancroft - Jacob Hargreave
Takeshi Kovacs - Karl Earnst Rasch
Lieutenant forgot-her-name - Lieutenant / Special Adviser Tara Strickland
Catholics - Commander Lockhart
Seriously, after reading Altered Carbon, I have no respect for Crysis 2's storyline. Richard Morgan didn't devise a great storyline, HE COPIED HIS OLD WORK OVER. This isn't a NEW story, it's the same one I paid $8 on Amazon for.
Except this one cost me $69.99, and has a storyline that isn't coherent with Crysis 1 because GUESS WHAT RICHARD MORGAN? COPY PASTING AN OLD STORY INTO A DIFFERENT STORY ARC DOESN'T WORK. Gee, go figure! REALLY?
That's just sickening
