Just use some of these: http://www.gamefaqs.com/comput...oswin/code/931665.html

Unlimited ammo, God Mode, etc. Then you can take your time and enjoy the scenery. I'm almost thinking of doing this soon myself just to get through the game.

mmm... A good mouse and some of that what do you call it...um.. aiming!

Seriously even on difficult they just aren't that hard to drop. Using a lot of ammo typically means you aren't firing in bursts. Not firing in bursts means you're not head shotting and if you are landing body shots most rounds are missing.

There are some parts though that are going to require some special forces stealth. You can't expect to be a lone soldier trying to attack entire bases by yourself without some finesse.

I played it on hard and thought the difficulty was just about right, challenging without being frustrating, although the alien parts (except for the final boss fight) were probably a little too easy. It was quite a change from Far Cry, which I remember was extremely difficult even on the middle setting.

I never had the issue of running out of ammo.. -_- I had the issue of DIEING after I killed all but one of the guys in a base... >_< It was so stupid, they'd one hit me too. It felt like the guys respawned as well... Because I swear, I'd kill over 50 of them and they'd still keep coming... I was just like, "wait, is this Call of Duty?"

There were one or two places in the game that were like this, and yeah, those parts were annoying.

I remember the entrance to the village with the hostage was like that. New guys just kept respawning and manning the emplaced guns, COD style, until you moved in close enough. By the time I figured out what was going on, there was a huge pile of bodies near one of the MGs. :D

Almost all games have too much ammo to me because I instinctively hoard and preserve it all the time. The only FPS I've played where this was not the case was System Shock 2, and that was more because you could carry an essentially unlimited amount of it than anything else. :p

I didn't like crysis, it was just another first person shooter. Except it had insane requirements, that just says bad design to me though.

I can think of plenty of FPSes that require the 'use' key or similar to obtain ammo.

I didnt like it for a number of reasons. Guns and ammo were two of them.
If theres a mod available that lets you pickup each type of weapon and lets you have 3 times as much ammo, I would love to know about it.

Fry Cry has a cheat that gave you each weapon and 999 ammo for each. You could only see 4 weapons at a time in your inventory but you could scroll through and access all of them.

Doom 3 (which I still dislike) has a mod that lets you carry a LOT more ammo. Something like 500 shotgun shells and about 2000 rounds for everything else.
It also increased the ammo capacity of some weapons. The pistol holds 24 instead of 12, shotgun was 16 instead of 8, machine gun and chaingun and plasma rifle were all bumped up about 50-75%.
The only downside is the mod also made each bullet a lot more powerful, so they really screwed up the game balance.

I'd like to see something similar for Crysis. A mod that allows more weapons at once, more ammo per weapon, and also maybe something that lets me sprint a little longer. I think cheat codes will take care of the last one.

there are cheat codes for god mode, unlimited ammo, and getting all weapons. i haven't seen any that make the suit powers unlimited though.
There are some trainers but I couldn't get any of them to work.

i also could get the game to patch to 1.2. it always stays at 1.1 something even after running the patch.

If you didn't like the game, or somehow thought it completely sucked, the problem just might be with something other than the game.

Wow, thanks for flushing out the nubs with this thread.

You think they limited weapon capacity and ammo to make the game more realistic, challenging (especially doom)? Noooo, must be a design flaw because I keep holding on the left mouse button when i shoot at shit and nothing dies! Sheesh, with all this missing I'm doing, where the fuck do i get more ammo?!

sigh

I did play the beta, and the only thing I really didn't like was having to press a key to walk up a ladder.

I also disliked the game until i figured out the technique of using your suit. Once you figure that out, even the hardest difficulty you don't run out of ammo because you can kill most of the soldiers by hand. All you really need is your fists, power and stealth mode along with the sniper rifle for 3/4 of the game.

Nope. I think it's a worthless game.

maybe... but ever mess with the Sandbox 2? I get more "play time" out of that than the game.
