If you are walking through the minefield, don't

*Semi-spoilers*



After you rescue to hostage from the School, when you have to blow up the two tanks, there is a common glitch that after you blow up the tanks you will be left with no knew objective. The only options are to restart the level entirely or just wander around until you find the next area you are supposed to go to, which is pretty difficult given the openness of Crysis.

I believe the next area you go to is a mine or a cave or something, which is why I called it the mine glitch. I could be mistaken, though.

Looked into this, and aparentally I had let patching crysis slip my mind. Patch 1.2 is supposed to fix this bug.

I was just so anxious to see the revolution unfold before my eyes, going from my ancient system (P4,agp) to my new rig. didnt happen

wow
you must have had a beefy p4 system to start with?

I went from similar system p4 2.53 w/1gb non dual channel 333mhz ram & 6600gt to a way nicer system and my jaw about hit the floor

it was almost unreal playing max res & max settings at 60fps

now, the game play wasn't terribly different, but the graphics at high are totally awesome.

I just had the "no new objective" glitch in a vtol .. had to stumble my way around get to the next waypoint ... and god forbid me if i would have to reload, cause that will severly mess up controls and on one occasion crash crysis. a workaround is to just escape to menu before loading a game, but still... it gives a somewhat bugged impression.

On the carrier though .. very very nice character graphics i must say!

No, it wasn't the best FPS but it wasn't bad. I managed to get 200+ frames per second minimum on high settings at 1280x1024. The best FPS game is, you'll all agree, GLQuake with the FuhQuake mod.

It's actually not a cave and has nothing to do with mines, the next objective is up past the waterfall and up the creek a bit where you find the frozen/disemboweled squaddie.

You really have to play the game on Delta difficulty with the settings as high as you can possibly get them and still be playable - run it at a lower res on a smaller monitor or something but you will be surprised how much better it looks on very high settings.

Allright, the endgame was ... pretty damn nice graphics .. got my wow feeling right there at last! (allthough also bugged to the end.. but the graphics.. damn)

 

[cytg111]

But then i went and bought my self another treat : Mass Effect.

Holy Cow & Smoking Bacon ... niiiiiice!!

I enjoyed Crysis for what it was, a first person shooter with high end graphics. Hell i bought it for my new computer, which is missing its processor, and ended up playing it first on my old p4. Even in low res with crappy graphics I had fun. I preferred the sections where I could sneak around, killing people quietly, one at a time, as opposed to the massive fights which get generic pretty quick.

And what do you do after you find the squaddie? You keep on following the stream until you find a cave

And by mine, I meant a mining cave, not the explosives.

I sure as hell do. Most overrated POS since........Halo 3!

Crysis was a fine game. Some people just had unrealistic expectations.

 

[BudAshes]

Seems like everyone here loves to trash this game. But i still think it is the best single player fps since half life 2. My modest rig of a 9600gt, 2ghz opteron on the old 939 chipset with 2 gigs of ddr1 memory ran it quite nicely at 1600x1050 with high detail.

If it take you 30 shots to kill someone, I think you need to consider improving your aim.

This.

Clearly it failed since people are still discussing it

I still have mixed feelings about it. The games pretty, but repetitive. Zero punctuation nailed a few points about the game I agree with . A lot of people say Zero Punc is just a troll looking for the negatives, but he's also an adult who critiques geared for the adult generation that continues to grow each year.

The OP exaggerated a bit, but it does ruin the immersion in such a realistic-looking game when a soldier with plain Kevlar doesn't die after 3-4 shots to the chest/abdomen.

They do if your fairly up close. From a distance you have to try and get a headshot which ain't easy when the crosshairs move. If AI died with a 3-4 chest shots from a long distance I would never die. So I can see why they did it this way.

 

[LAX182]

What I don't get is why the OP spent more money on a motherboard than his graphics card... If this were digg I would bury as inaccurate for not finally having the "system specs".

I know why they did it for gameplay reasons. I'm just saying it feels weird at first when you expect realistic bullet damage and suddenly realize, "Oh, I'm still playing an arcade-style game, just much, much prettier".
