    Perhaps their computers are just faulty (dirty disk and not optimized and such).

    Well, I liked FC, Bob, and it was even my first online multiplayer game, but I don't like Crysis. And because I dislike Crysis I will probably start disliking FC

    Finished on the Delta difficulty... If you are any good at FPS on the PC I would not bother with any other difficulty...

    More and more it feels just like FarCry but done right...

    The whole alien thing at the end could have been done better I think but is certainly lightyears ahead of the TryGens and the ending of FarCry. It is not particularly scary though the final level on the your Aircraft Carrier can be a little scary in places...

    Overall it felt quite short and the ending couldn't have sequel stamped alll over it any more obviously...

    The campaign is loads of fun and the content fantastic stuff...

    For the MP I am still undecided... It is not easy to find well populated servers and the whole experience feels a little remote...

    Maybe I have been playing too much CoD4 MP, but going from that viceral experience and the havoc of the Crysis SP game the MP just does feel a little flat...

    It's got the maps and the vehicles and the guns and the weapon purchase system that is all great but the fact that everyone is in a nano suit means it is no long all that much of a big deal, not special at all really. And the game modes don't really concentrate the action... You would think it plays BF2 and it does mostly but without the intensity of BF2...

    This is all IMO of course...

    The more I play it the more I feel that as soon as you get away from the normal warfare you are past the most interesting and open areas. Given that it feel that the engine could be put to much better use...

    I agree. I very much like the FarCry/Crysis campaigns when they are against human opponents. Both lose a lot of their lustre when they move on to the 'tougher' opponents. I finished the game once, then went back for a replay and played it right up until it switched over to non-human enemies. At that point, I was done and put it away. It's a shame, because the first portion of the non-human part was visually spectacular. Easily one of the best looking areas I have ever seen in any computer game.

    I very much hope the engine is licensed out for other games. I really feel it is near perfect in all areas. I vastly prefer it to the Doom 3/Quake 4 engine, though perhaps that is an unfair comparison. Still, there is so much potential in it that it would be a massive shame if it was not used for other games.

    Apparently there is a mod for the vietnam war in the works, and it has to be said, it is the ideal engine for a vietcong game.

    Well, I bought it and in spite of my expectations my system and my GeForce 8600 GT are perfectly up to it. The graphics and gameplay are surprisingly good, it is indeed FarCry done right in many ways. I haven't played MP yet, maybe it is just as disappointing as FarCry MP which is flat and repetitive. But the Crysis campaigns are good.

    The reactive landscape is fantastic, although it can be a real biatch: one of my machine gun salvoes cut a tree which then fell on my vehicle and caused it to blow up in my own face. Once you have mastered the controls, the nano suit thingy (love the hyperspeed setting) and the weapons (one shot Scarp rulez) you will have a real field day with this game.
