I've been playing Crysis 3 for about 50 hours and I've come to the conslusion that it's little more than a cheap smacked together recycled and re-hashed crysis 2 with worse gunplay and design decisions.

First up, the gunplay:

What in the **** of hell happened? The guy who is in charge of the core gameplay is an absolute monkey. Guns have so much twitchy and glitchy looking movement when aiming down sights and moving at the same time it looks and feels horrible.

Not only that pretty much all the guns except for the Bow and aliens weapons feel like trash to shoot.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED to the crisp and satisfying Crysis 2 gunplay? The audio sounds bad too, I can barely hear the FY71 when it's ''firing'' and what sounds good is always recycled from crysis 2.

I'm not putting Crysis 2 on a silver pedestal, That game has more than it's fair share of problems, but it boggles my mind how you can take something so well done in the previous game and literally **** it up in the sequel. Especially such a 'AAA' acclaimed developer such as Crytek.

Secondly, The Multiplayer Balance:

It's terrible, Perks that require even more grinding than Crysis 2 yet have even bigger rewards at the maximum level further discouraging new players.

The equipment you are given at the begining is TERRIBLE, The Scarab is just plain awful, would of been much better off starting with the SCAR or FY71.

The Laser Sight breaks this game, Because the terrible guns now kick alot more when ADS'ing than in Crysis 2, A laser sight is a no brainer, you're hard pressed to not see a gun without one on nowadays and really cheapens the combat.

Thirdly, The maps.

Again, what happened to the elegantly designed maps of Crysis 2? not all maps in thast game were great, but there wasn't a terrible map at all. In crysis 3 I can't say the same. Most of the maps have the same kind of feel to them aesthetically and the layouts are dull, uninspired and sometimes flat out lazy.

That;s not to say however that Crysis 3 is all bad, They fixed the OP Stealth which from a hardcoe Crysis 2 fan I kinda agree with.

Alien weapon spawns are great and really mix up the game.

Poles!

Random world scenery and cool events suchs helicopter blades and VTOLS circling the map.

But in the end Crysis 3 is 70% rage due to terrible design decisions (spread on the **** predator bow) and 30% cool moments.


If you, like me played Crysis 2 before though theres not really much new to experience.

The movement mechanics are exactly the same, the guns are aort of the same, just way worse to shoot.

pretty much the same tactics apply.

Overall I'm kinda let down that Crytek couldn't be arsed to try something new, They just made the game they wanted Crysis 2 to be and that's it, nothing more.... nothing less.
