Crysis 2 Editor and CryENGINE 3 SDK Near

Crytek's Official Modding Portal has some backend maintenance underway, and is expected to come back online in limited form a week from today. As they tinker behind-the-scenes, the front page offers a letter from Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, who announces plans to release an editor for Crysis 2 early this summer, and the previously revealed free CryENGINE SDK in August. Here's how he summarizes his post:
Our next release will be the Crysis 2 Editor, this is for those of you who want to create content for Crysis 2. In August 2011, we will launch our Free CryENGINE SDK for all of you who want to create totally new content on CryENGINE 3. If you just want to make fun, free projects, you can do that free of charge. If you want to try and commercialise your game, we'll be here to help you with that.

What if my project is free, but rather than being fun, is a piece of crap? Is that a special case?

Pretty cool of Crytek to still give a shit about the PC customers. Hopefully the Living Legends guys can make use of this.

Awesome! I was worried an SDK would never come for the community.

Just glad the console fans were able to negotiate the release.

Faith restored in Crytek, maybe not completely but this is a good step towards rebuilding some of the (butt) hurt feelings the PC community felt at the release of the game.

Encrypted game files really made me think they were putting the smack down on any form of tweaking or modding of the game.

There probably won't be a huge community supporting Crysis 2 for modding though, unless someone masterfully creates an engaging multiplayer mod beyond the team deathmatch included. Even then the cheaters and hackers have pretty much ruined the game. Will they be releasing dedicated server files too or is the editor only intended for single player modding?
Crytek has already burned themselves. The community is basically dead for Crysis 2 and not much they can do will change that.

While some call it 'butt hurt' I have to agree with a number of things people are complaining about. Most of all the lack of user run servers. Without these I think these tools might be severely limited. Being that yes you can make huge assed maps but can the hosting servers handle them? Can you have more than their pathetic 6x6 matches?

Would certainly like to see this engine flourish and get rid of or at least put some hurt on Epic's bastard UE3.

Yeah, the first thing I'm going to check is if there's still an editor crash with a 16km² map. It probably will.

Looks pretty sweet. There were some AMAZING user created maps/campaigns for the original Crysis. Cool move by Crytek.

Okay, what?

This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC.

Need to see the license terms, but it's interesting. Epic doesn't even go that far.
