Enough is enough.

So in effect Crytek have had 3 attempts at getting Crysis 3 right, over a six year period.
The game is still far from 'right' (Multiplayer)
Lag Issues
Host Migration Issues
Kill Cam
Sound Issues
Dog Tag Issues
Hit Detection Issues
I've probably missed a few as well.
I'm not going to go into the Single Player experience as I've not really played the SP sufficiently. I am aware though of people being unable to finish the game at the Alpha Ceph, and also Super Soldier Achievement not unlocking for Crysis 2, or Crysis 3.
As people who played Crysis 2 are aware, it was a complete and utter mess, absolutely full of problems (see the link posted near the top of the page - 104 pages long). You might be forgiving, but I certainly wasn't. I didn't purchase the DLC as I wasn't happy with the state of the game. A lot of people did buy the DLC though, and not long after that Crytek stated that they weren't going to continue supporting Crysis 2 (that's after accepting people money for the DLC).
Take yourself 2 years down the line now to February 2013, Crysis 3 is released.
The third installment in a promising idea of a game. Surely Crytek would get their third attempt at Crysis right??
Wrong.
6 years down the line from Crysis, 2 years down the line from Crysis 2 and the game feels like an unfinished, unpolished mess of a game. Crytek, how on earth can you STILL be experiencing issues that have been prevelant since Crysis 2???
Crysis 3 should have been a lot tighter in the way it handles, and the way it plays - it's not.
It is like Crysis 2.5 - The Expansion Pack.
I've had it, one of the most promising FPS games (on paper at least) has dragged itself back into the gutter. So much potential, executed in such a poor way.
Gaming numbers on the 3 platforms are struggling already, and a lot of people have abandoned a sinking ship.
I too have jumped overboard and traded my copy of Crysis 3 in, I don't believe Crytek will ever get it right, after 6 years and 3 attempts that is obvious by now.
So it's been fun (when it worked well) and I bid you all farewell.
P.S. - This account will now be deleted, gone, finito. All you blind fanboys can save your venom.
Keep believing this game will ever get to the standard it should have been at release if you like.
Au Revoir,
Snarf.
