Finally played last night for a few hours. It was my first time playing Crysis. The graphics are amazing but frame rates on my 1920x1200 monitor were not good.
I turned down the resolution and really tried to get into the gameplay. I just couldn't. I'm a big fan of the Battlefield games and to me there's some sort of fun element missing. Death happens way too quickly, I found myself dead so many times and wondering what happened. Capturing points happens way too fast. I dunno, I just didn't dig it.
I'll probably still pick it up for the incredible graphics and single player experience but I'm not too hyped on multi player. I'm hoping Quake Wars or COD4 are going to be more fun.
First, turn things like Shadow detail and post-processing to medium to help increase your FPS. Second, I would get to grips with the game in a quiet room, 10/32 or less. Get used to the wepons etc, than have a go in a more full room. It took me a while to get in to it but I found it really fun after a bit.

My config:
EVGA geforce 8800 GTX (625 gpu clock/2000 mem/1550 shader)
Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 3.3 ghz
2 gb Corsair PC 8500 @ 1100
Vista + all updates
Forceware 163.71
DX redist August
Performance wise is OK (around 30 fps, 1680*1050, 2AA, 16AF and settings on high, very high is disabled all over the place in the menu settings), but man this reminds me of Far Cry too much, I was hoping for much more, and where is the DX10 mode? And all those wonderful vidoes we have seen when the framrate is good and the graphics is gorgeous? Why can't we see it in the Beta3 so close to be released as a final product? I am hoping I am wrong, but this game might be way overhyped!
By the way, lots of texture issues in beta3, but nice to take a little hike in the shore level in the waterfall =)
EDIT! Maybe it is a stupid comparison, but World In Conflict looks much much better and was not hyped as much, I know it is a RTS but that game is the first game that blew me away with DX10, and should have been hyped more, and would have lived up to our expectations.....

For those of you NEW to the Crysis Beta, please go to the official Crysis Beta forums (you received a link & password in your email) and read the FAQ. It answers 90% of the questions about the beta and sheds light to many issues.

Many graphical/physics features that aint enabled in the beta, so judging the crysis gfx by the beta-gfx aint fair at all.

you could make half-life (1) look good with 300 mods too, you fool :captnkill:
No you can't you idiot... Thats a nine year old engine.
Oblivion look alot better on the 360 IMO
And thats a totally lie, the 360 version dont support decent AA, dont have AF, Its not possible to add mods, alot of things that make the PC version looking alot better. Damn wtf is this? So many dumb peoples out there... Jeez

This beta is lower graphically than the previous one, with the modifications of the river and the factory of vehicles. I have issues , as if it not has AF. And I do not manage to do the modifications in the folder config to improve the game.
A member of this forum has passed a file to me config modified, I have managed to activate the sunshafts but this beta is lower than the second one. The quality of the lighting in high also seems to me to be worse and the performance to improved a bit alone
Played around with some settings in the cfg, too.
I found out that Beta 1 definately runs better than Beta 3. Maybe because of the realtime shader compiling.
Sunshafts do look awesome. Never saw that in games before in this kind of quality.
I envy u guys with DX10 cards who can play the final product with 3D Waves on the Water :) Saw the vids, looked damn stunning.

hold up, if I run this under Vista I can enable DX10 mode on the Crysis Beta?
AFAIK nope. The Beta seems DX9 only, but I think they will include the DX10 content in the SP Demo... With a little luck in the next MP Beta update, cant promise it.

Not really, that's using the source engine, not the original Half-Life engine (which was a modded version of the Quake 2 engine). The best quality I think you can get out of that engine was the mod Natural Selection.

Actually you should see some "slight" 3D water with your card as well. Swim next to the sub right at the height of the waterline and you'll notice a minor wave effect. IF I remember correctly, Beta2 didn't have even this slight effect, it was completely flat.
agentkay:
Yep I know what you mean :) Noticed that effect too, looks nice as well. But that's only a glimpse of those 3D waves which are still to come for DX10. Ripples aren't that hard, tho they look like simple meshes with refraction and not really 3D..

Being day 2 with the beta I finally sat down and started to play the game.
I found the grenades, smoke and flash totally useless. WTF?
Like how they make you work for your weapons but the total lack of team work was a bit annoying. With such a huge map and only 16 people on your side MAX, I hardly ever saw or spawned with anyone.
Yeah someone would fly by in a truck or I'd get sniped by I have no clue who but everyone is off doing their own thing. There are too many objectives at one time which are available and spreads everyone out thin.
