Mark it in your diary, cancel your meetings, send the wife and kids on holiday and take some time off work. Take the phone off the hook too - EA has announced the Crysis release date.

Well that's sooner than I expected but I personally think I'll be playing Bioshock instead as I have it pre-ordered.

10 hours of gameplay?

It better be a good 10 hours.

g3n3tiX · 3rd Aug 2007, 11:41

10 hours if you don't count the time spent shooting at vegetation and enjoying eye candy !

poenanie · 3rd Aug 2007, 11:41

10 hours is if you just play the game straight trough , most people take about 30 hours according to crytek because there's a lot you can do in the game that keeps you busy while doing your objectives ..

November O.o danm, I thought they where looking at a September release

"The game will also come with three different multiplayer modes, supporting up to 32 players and some truly massive multiplayer maps."
Do we know what these modes are?
I would assume Death match, Team death match, and I would hope maybe Co-op?

quack · 3rd Aug 2007, 11:57

So Valve release Half Life 2 on 16th November 2004, and now Crytek are releasing Crysis on the same day 3 years later.

That just so happens to be my birthday... another fantastic present to myself. Woo!

Particle Man · 3rd Aug 2007, 12:20

Oh I'm gonna have fun with this one, hopfully I have my new system built by then.

Paradigm Shifter · 3rd Aug 2007, 12:30

Well, at least there is a solid release date now. Of course, until it's actually in shops, that can still change...

namakan · 3rd Aug 2007, 12:42

So pumped for Crysis!

The nov release date is perfect since it gives me enough time to build a badass system that will make the most of the game.

Team Deathmatch, Tactical Team Deathmatch and Assault.

No Co-op

Thanks for the heads up.
So hmmm 2 types of team death match and no co-op or even death match, I think thats fairly w**k tbh, was expecting more from the game

CardJoe · 3rd Aug 2007, 13:28

My mistake - it's not called Assault. It's called Power Struggle.

In "Power Struggle", all players start the game on one of two teams – the U.S. Delta Force or the North Korean Army – with nothing more than a pistol and a basic nano suit. After players have joined a team, they will fight to earn points. Points are used to purchase weapons, vehicles and manufacturing plants.[4] How one earns points will depend on what type and rank of player they have killed. For example, if a "Beginner" defeats a "General", then they will receive more points than if the General had killed the Beginner. Weapons may also be taken from the corpses of dead players from either team, and vehicles can be stolen from the opposing side with the use of lock picks.

Players can crossbreed vehicles with alien technologies if they bring the technology back to their base from one of several alien crash sites randomly generated on the map. Weapons can be bought from where players spawn or at certain control points located around the map. Should the player die, they will lose their guns and any vehicles that were destroyed or stolen from the player in the process.

Sounds cool enough to me.

Delphium · 3rd Aug 2007, 13:46

Hmmm interesting, sounds a bit counter strikeish hehe.
What will be interesting to see then is if they impliment AI players/bots into multiplayer game modes.
