I haven't signed an NDA for the Crysis 3 Closed Alpha

Crytek staff posted on the mycrysis forums not to share information/media, just letting you know.

Are you serial?

Man, people are uptight in the Gaming forums. Now I remember why I don't post around here too often.

His player ID is in the screenshots, just informing him, sorry that gets your panties in a knot.

I wish I could break some NDA and talk about it, unfortunately it force closes so much I can't play

Can anyone say if there is any real improvement in the graphics? I seem to remember Crytek talking about crippling computers all over again this time around.

Crossfire isn't working but I'm not too surprised since it's an alpha. Might try one 7970@1325 to see if I can get it a bit smoother.

I played all last night and again this morning. All good. Game's running smoothly on medium settings and looks beautiful. I can't imagine it on Ultra with full AA, etc.

Best of luck everyone. I didnt like Crysis, I didnt like Crysis 2, not Warhead, not even Far Cry 2.
I hope you guys have fun with it all.

I don't know fellas, it seems like i will be buying Crysis 3 after all haha. I kinda like the ALPHA gameplay
I got the hook up and I can pre-order for $45, but like I said before, do I want this, Far Cry 3 or Dead Space 3....Or will I have enough money for all 3? I also recorded some gameplay where I got a bunch of Double Kills and stuff but I was afraid to upload it to my channel, and I think I won't. You guys do know that Pressing "X" Allows you to customize your weapons right?:D:D

force closes? I haven't had a single problem yet, imho. probably played 30 good matches so far.

Yup, the first round I played it gave me a "not enough memory" error and has had problems ever since. Not sure if I need to tone down the graphics more or something but when it's actually running it's smooth enough and works well.

I keep getting out-dueled, recoil and spread are killing me. I'm used to arcade shooters where people die very fast. I do alright with the sniper rifle though.

I got the hook up and I can pre-order for $45,

Is that the Green Man Gaming promotion? I was thinking about doing that.

There hasn't been a decent arcade shooter released in years. When you say arcade shooter I don't think of COD or BF3. I think of Quake 3 or Unreal where people didn't die faster, and everything moved ridiculously fast.

I think I found my problem, it seems to be very picky about card clocks. My 570 has a small factory OC and that apparently was enough to cause it fits. Dialed it back to reference clocks and it's fine.

Wrong word, should have said twitch FPS.

:confused:I tried to play some Crysis 3 Alpha this morning and It won't let me log in, I get error saying that Crysis 3 could not establish connection to server? Something similar, the thing is I can't play. Anyone having this issue? or is the ALPHA over?

Yeah, I think it ended on the 9th. I believe they said it was only going to be open for about one week.
