Make an entire campaign that can be played co-op, have your team deathmatch mode but also have a larger scale objective based multiplayer mode, something like rush from battlefield but with a crysis flair.

One game mode that harkens back to Starsiege Tribes is Defend and Destroy, two opposing bases with things like generators and communication towers that need to be defended/destroyed to win.

Still waiting for someone to pick that up and run with it, and waiting, and waiting.

There's a name for a AAA game that costs $59.99 without multiplayer, a rental.

Yeah it's pretty nonsensical and poorly edited on top of that. I'm not sure if that's a translation problem or writing issue.

I personally think they should just scrap the whole tacked on MP and focus on the single player instead. I've had endless fun doing missions in Crysis 1 differently and trying to find new ways to kill the Ai, sneak around, hide and seek, or just go guns blazing nuts out. That was something I was missing from Crysis 2 it was a little too linear, but I did enjoy the game regardless.

They tried to capture the Battlefield audience with Crysis 1's multiplayer mode "power struggle", in the beta they were asking people what they thought and everyone was clamoring for more team play focus and that it lacked a "front line" approach to any of the battles so it was just pockets of action spread out too thin. Of course they ignored all the input, too close to release etc.

They tried to rekindle interest with the expansion, adding new maps and tweaking gameplay. Just never caught on.

So they completely abandoned it and went full retard with making Crysis 2 a call of duty clone right down to small team deathmatch maps. The salt on the wound was having paid map packs for a multiplayer component that felt dead on delivery.

It must have come as a shock to Yerli that nobody wanted to play his nano-suit version of call of duty.

Unless they've done some major re-thinking to the franchise this one will remain "on the shelf" for me.

I'd buy Crysis even with the activation. I thoroughly enjoyed 1 and the add-on, but I bought them for like $20 each, and I don't see myself ever playing them again.

So, while supporting something with the activations isn't a good thing, I'd pay $20 to play Crysis 3 once and then never think about it again. I'll play Crysis 2 when it's $20 or less (and when I have time) and never think about it again, too. Hell, it's likely been $20 already and I just never think about it in order to remember buying it...

Why can't they just go and finally make that Dinosaur game they were using to showcase the original Crytek engine?
