Looking great Very promising new direction with hopefully a better story and aliens.

I'm kinda expecting this to be like HL2 meets Prototype. Could be good.

pretty interesting. I love the jungle but will enjoy the performance of smaller draw distances. Hopefully 3 will go back to its roots and everyone will finally be able to play it.

Story

• Game is set three years after Crysis and Warhead
• You play as Nomad
• Aliens have invaded major cities including London, Tokyo and ofcourse, NYC.
• Spaceships will be patrolling the skies.
• You can scan corpses to gather information about the story/world.
• They are making a backstory for the game world.
• The game world will be much larger compared to Crysis

Gameplay

• Four Nanosuit modes: Armor, Power, Tactical and infiltration
• Tactical mode allows players to collect information from the environment much like the detective vision in Batman: Arkham Asylum
• Strength mode + Speed mode = Power mode
• Infiltration mode cloaks the player, and also makes him move slower and quieter
• Tactical Mode: Ambient sounds are supressed and you can eavesdrop on conversations.
• Armor Mode: Movement becomes "Heavier" and bullet impact noises are different
• Power mode: Player uses fists instead of weapon's butt for melee.
• There will be an RPG-like upgrade system for your suit that gives you abilities such as seeing silhouettes of enemies through walls in tactical mode, deflecting bullets in armor mode, etc.
• There may be remaining citizens who populate the city, despite the crisis. Weapon/Equipment merchants, maybe?
• There may be HUD/visual elements that always indicate to the player of the suit mode he is currently in.
• There will be a new faction that the player will be up against, and they're not Korean. These guys in the screenshot might be them.

Design Changes

• Vertical Gameplay. You can climb buildings, jump in through their windows, slide down craters.
• New york was not chosen because of alleged console limitations, but because Crytek wanted to avoid making yet another jungle game after they had done three already.
• Crytek have tried to actively avoid of using dark dystopian colors and tones that have been plaguing many games these days.

EA has confirmed that all their games 2010-11 will have DLC. Crysis 2 being one of them.

Looks like it will check every box, I'm not sure of anything I wanted the game to have that isn't on that list. Sounding very promising so far.
