Alright, so the crysis 3 beta is online for all platforms.
For console bros; try it, but if it's anything like how crysis 2 was on consoles, it's gonna be doo-dooe. Very bad framerates and netcodes crippled an otherwise decent mp (on PC, it apparently was rampant with cheaters)
However I'm liking this beta (ON PC). Movement is fluid, visuals are great and after some minor tweaking fps is stable and fluid on a 560ti
If you never played crysis 2; basically, it's a CoD-type arena shooting with perks, killstreaks (though kills only counts as kill after picking up tags a-la kill confirmed) and all that
Difference is your guy is in a nanosuit so you can do stuff. Movement is very fast and fluid
also theres suit modes (which dont share an energy pool anymore). Cloak is a straightforward cloak with a timer. Maximum armour reduces damage/increases health, but slows you down
So you gotta be efficient with those modes. If you're not in armour mode, ttks are similiar to what you see in CoD. In armour mode, you can take up a lot more. This means stealth isn't as op as you think it would be
so yeah, anyone else planning to play this?
oh btw, for some godawful reason vsync is on by default and the txaa seems to cause input lag as well, so turn that doo-doo off

Likewise for the PS3. The first Crysis is boss, and I did like the second game for what it was.

I'm not going to download this on my PC because I have a Mac. I could run it in parallels but I'd rather just try it on PS3.

I didn't find the Beta all that fun, but my real interest with the Crysis series hasn't really been the multiplayer action as much as it has been the story, so I'll probably end up picking the game up when it's on sale sometime down the road.

THer's so many game mechanics, there's stealth, other people using stealth, the gun play, the recoil on the guns, nano visions, and all your perks that you want to know what you have to make use of it. I get really over whelmed trying to run around and shoot people because I have so much stuff to keep in mind. I'd have to get to the point where I can run on autopilot, but for now the mechanics are very challenging to master. I know most people are going to just keep stealth in mind, but I want to use everything to the my advantage.
