I was a massive fan of the storyline in the crysis 1 single player, it was captivating and beautiful right down to the smallest minute detail like how the aliens used ice as weaponry.

Warhead was equally amazing, yet the storyline from crysis 1 really stood out.

And then came crysis 2 single player, which left me very confused, starting with prophet dying..
First off why did he have to die, that's a bich with regards to continuity and goodfeel about the story and it's characters.. Why not just give alcatraz his own damn suit? What gives..

He was a hero in crysis 1 going back to the island with nomad. And then crysis 2.. new aliens, nothing about the island, and starting out with killing the hero from crysis 1. And no word of nomad either. It left me very very confused.

No word of how it went on the island, or how he got back.. And this rules out cry2 single player being parallel events with cry1 single player. Or a prequel..

Personally i would love to see crysis 3 single player be the return to the island to see what happened with prophet and nomad.. One only has to play through cry 1 single player to realize it is the coolest in the series. The suspense and the gradual intensity and the reveal of the alien spacechip etc. It was vividly captivating.
