I preferred Crysis 1 because:
The AI was better
There was exploration instead of linear A to B
There wasn't any patronising tactical advisor telling me when to use stealth, or where to sneak to
Weapons were more customisable with more mounts and ammo types
It was a benchmark for PC gaming
It was far more challenging as the aliens were aerial, a lot quicker and did a lot more damage
The voice acting was far better
The characters were more interesting (Can the antagonist speak?)
Maximum strength existed, and was by far the most fun to use
There were less bugs and you felt proud of your high-end machine if you could run it well as you were the envy of hordes of gamers

But what I like about Crysis 2:
It runs better (because of the console engine)
Multiplayer seems more developed (although buggy as hell)
Maximum speed has been removed, which ran out of energy after running two paces anyway.

You mean protagonist, and no, he cannot speak, which is lame as hell. Also, he doesn't have a face or a personality.

I personally miss Maximum Speed, and I hate that sprint is tied to your energy in Crysis2. True, Maximum Speed drained your energy quick, but damn, it got you around, and at least I could still sprint if I wanted to with no suit power.

Well.. in campaign I never got to shoot down a bird or any aircraft... Thought I might get a chance to fly a jet, though, not even a tank (yeah an AAV riding was fun) but haven't seen Crysis's Trademark or a mascot VTOL...(only showed up once for 2 min)
Wow come on...

Especially if you consider that AI used trees and for cover, as well as moved kneeling through bushes in search for a player making lots of fun, sudden and unexpected encounters.
Not "where's the enemy? enemy is in front of you." type of game we have now.

But well.... http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=21523

Yeah, anyone mention "play against an artificial intelligence" yet?

Frog huntin, used to hunt me some frogs in crysis

Mmmmmm... BANGARANG!

Ride a boat; Explore the levels; Use DirectX10; Create your own maps-mods; MAXIMUM STRENGTH!; MAXIMUM SPEED!; Beat up some Korean guys house until it's just planks on the ground - physics....

Enjoy the ADVANCED graphics quality, as opposed to psuedo-console-play, on a friggen' PC!!!

title


play the single player mode, turn OFF motion blur TO play the single player game!

My god yes. The MotionBlur. And some other too-fancy-to-the-point-of-polluting-awareness graphics.

I'll nag this again: I'm color blind so I always set up the games as friggin' crude and ugly as I can. Anyone with a low rig or favoring fps performance over image quality always did this as well.

I'm a sad geek mofo.

maximum PC .

MODDING. Extract textures from .pak files just using winrar. Create new .pak files using winrar. I can upload Crysis materials/models/textures/xml/config files on Crymod. It's considered illegal with C2 due to the encripted pak files and Crytek silence about this.

I can't believe nobody has said punching chickens yet!!!!

Oh and punching crabs, or throwing crabs at chickens, or chickens at crabs, or either one at North Koreans.
Or going maximum speed and flying out of the water like a dolphin with jet packs!
Or seeing how many vehicles you could get together and blow up at the same time.
Or shooting holes in oil barrels and watching the oil poor out depending on where you shot it.
Or watching that oil slowly spread out across the water creating a miniature oil spill.

I can't even tell you how many countless hours I wasted throwing chickens, punching the sh!t out of everything and trying to blow stuff up in the most unique and creative ways I could think of... over, and over, and over again. To me that's what made Crysis so great and so much fun. I still like Crysis 2 for the most part but man... if I can't throw chickens at people, to me it's not a Crysis game.

Nothing beat shooting tactical nuke on alien mothership from the US carrier in Crysis 1!!!!!!
There are really a lot more memorable scene or battle in Crysis 1 compares to C2, IMO.

Prone, sprint-strafe, customise weapons on-the-fly in MP, use an underbarrel attachment without sacrificing the ability to fire semi-auto, reload quickly by being in speed mode, super-throw nades with strength mode (would be nice if we could hold the sprint button while throwing a nade to use this function), fit a sight as well as a laser pointer/ADS with a laser pointer attached etc.

What this guy said.

Except, Crysis 2, what it did away with was for the better. On the fly wep customization in multiplayer is retarded and would unbalance gameplay, sprint-strafe umm....idk, i never really cared for it, prone wouldn't work in the pace Crysis 2 has, sacrificing semi-auto for using underbarrel provides balance in both SP and MP, quick reload can be done by module (DERP), and the laser pointer AS a type of sight also provides balance.

The only thing I miss is the super nade throw....altho i thought you could do it if you held down the aim button and then throw but whatevs..

Just about Everything.

C2 svcks guys. Come back to Wars and a real PC game. Leave this console **** to the kiddies and hackers.

And pirates, most of the servers are cracked. Your welcome to come play as long as you don't cheat.

Oil poured out in Crysis 1's barrels? LIES O_O I've played Contact, Recovery and "Call me Ishmael" too many times......

hahahah XD WARS? Go back to Wars? Alright yeah, I wonder how big the fanbase for that PoS is....oh YEAH, a couple hundred XDDDDDDD

Lol, go **** yourself Silent. You and Borss are just paid Crytek filth agents.

And in a month, C2 will wish it had a few hundred.

True if you showed friends Crysis 1 you probably won't show then Crysis 2. If you do you will be met with the not impressed face.

Not to mention watch them screw their eye's up as they try to figure out why the 1 looks better than the 2, FOUR YEARS LATER!

thing i miss is having the epic snow levels from crysis 1/warhead and the over the top Psychic slamming koreans through a house lol
and sandbox
what i dont miss is the 15 fps on max settings and the lame boss fights even though the fight on warhead (the big octopus lol) was pretty fun
.

1 more thing who ever thinks crysis 1 was not linear stop fooling yourself the game had a big open world to explore but at the end of the day you still went to A-B no matter what it just smoke and mirrors mirrors to make the game not seem linear hell even the vtol mission was linear as hell so was the tank mission hell the whole game was.

if this the case people can argue and say halo 1 was not linear because the big open world enviorments the game had which people with a brain can tell you both games still require you to go A-B. wait until we get sandbox 3 crysis 2 will be a much better game.

In crysis 1 you could drive any vehicle and you could drive in 1st person. Also you could run faster, add a reflex sight and laser sight at the same time, aim down sights with laser sight attached, lean manually, prone, throw objects accurately, hold enemies and weapons at the same time, actually hear your character talk, and break virtually anything. In crysis 2 cardboard boxes are somehow indestructible.

So much for that wonderful C2 destruction we were promised.

Oh wait, consoles couldn't handle it...

THIS. Someone give this guy a medal

Enjoy the game.
Remember a scene's beauty.
Actually wanted to play the game.
