Who got it?
Anybody play the release?
I'm a confessed and known Crytek Fanboy, so my opinion is biased, but I certainly think they learned some lessons from Crysis 2.
The single player campaign took me about 35-45% as long as Crysis 2's campaign. It was definitely shorter. However, it was goddamn intense. I played it on the medium difficulty and had a blast. The levels are incredibly rich and complex and even at mostly 'low' settings and the smallest hint of AA, the game was gorgeous.
The multplayer is where it's at. For once, this MP offering is really good. The play modes are fun, especially hunter and spears, and their netcode seems to be running well. I haven't gotten kicked yet, haven't experienced any cheaters, and I've just overall had a really good time.
I don't like that they got rid of the cover system. I was pretty miffed that I didn't have that available as there were plenty of times I found myself wishing it was still there. I hope someone mods that back in.
