In hindsight, Yerli agrees that the move was a “mistake,” and that it would’ve been wiser to unlock the game’s highest graphics settings in a patch when better hardware became available.Ĭrysis’ high system specs were another bone of contention, and Yerli acknowledges that the launch specs were high. Yerli says this feature was included with the best of intentions, but the backlash was intense - gamers wanted to be able to max out Crysis’ graphics at launch on existing systems. Chief among these was the game’s pushing of hardware boundaries, especially it’s so-called “future-proofing” meant to allow its visuals to scale upward with the release of future hardware. Some players were turned off by myriad issues, whether perceived or real. What’s really new in Warhead is Crytek’s determination to satisfy critics of the first Crysis.

All the vehicles from both games’ single-player campaigns will also be available in multiplayer, including the Amphibious APC. Though the nanosuit’s powers will again be muted in multiplayer - a necessity for fun, balanced gameplay, say the devs - Warhead’s new maps will feature more vertical environments and wide gaps to encourage the use of strength- and speed-augmented jumps. While Crytek won't share details about it, the team says it won’t be as complex as Power Struggle, but will offer more team play than Instant Action. In addition to Crysis’ two multiplayer modes, Instant Action (deathmatch) and Power Struggle, Warhead will introduce a third that’s yet to be named.

Expect a single-player campaign of about 8to 10 hours, and a beefed-up multiplayer mode.įans of Crysis’ multiplayer will be overjoyed to learn that Warhead will include all its maps and content, including enhancements added post-launch. New weapons will include dual submachine guns and a grenade launcher. The game will contain two new vehicles, a hovercraft and the gun-mounted Advanced Scout Recon (ASR). You’ll again fight North Korean soldiers and aliens - anyone else remains a surprise. Warhead’s plot is still under close wraps, except for a few facts: The game starts when Psycho leaves Nomad mid-Crysis to help out another unit and ends sometime before he shows back up on the aircraft carrier.
