Option page
under the graphic section ultra high setting were disabled. theres no stress test mode available for us to make benchmark. However theres a optimal setting detection function to use.Medium was optimal for mi but under high setting it was pretty much playable @40~fps.Under the Sound settings, players get to choose male/female suite sound which pretty much shows gamers arent really all guys thingy.


female gamers are definitely making a impact in the gaming scene.

Brief summary
Game started with a brief epilogue about scientist being missing in korean terriorty a week ago.Your job is to find,rescue and get out of there without being detected.
After a brief briefting by the Crytek squad leader, u were seperated from your buddies after ur chute malfunctioned. First objective was to meet up with ur other mates.Soon after meeting up with one of the mates, one of ur other mates was multiated tgt with 4 other koreans. Obviously it wasnt something human.And the story goes on.. shall not touch on that.


AfterLanding.

GamePlay
what do u say. This game has pretty much of everything i expect in a game. u can destroy, or interact with almost object u come by with .. Pick up a turtle and switch ur suite to strength mode and threw it far far away. Likewise u can do it to the koreans too. Alternatively , strength mode allows you to perform high jump, something normal human couldnt perform in real life.



Fruits anyone?

In cloak mode, u can go undetected and sneak up on the koreans. However do note that it has a limited battery life and it auto charge up when u stop using it.one thing interestingly which my sis point out was that, theres still a shadow of mi .. So i was wondering if in multiplayer mode will this render the stealth mode as useless?

In Speedmode, it increase ur movement speed and gives u a temporary speeed boast when u press left shift. It too do have a limited battery life and auto recharge when u stop using it.

In armourmode, you take lesser damage from gunfire than in other modes.Hp auto regenerate when you stop taking gunfire..

Lastly weapon customisation. one of the feature whichh every shooter game should have (in my opinion)You can attach silencer, flashlight, laser point to guide ur gunfire and also the mode of the zoom in mode.


Physics was kewl too, destructable houses, fallable trees(after which u can pick it up ) explosive barrels.

houses fall after a frag grenade.


explosive barrels


This game isnt all about brute strength and mindless charging. You need to make use of the powers of ur suite to work out a stragety to clear fortified base.Use speed mode to charge to safety. Stealth to sneak into base. strength to throw object over a distance or jump onto the rooftop to get a better view of the area. Its alittle bit like tactical shooter games.. whereby u have to make use of what you have to work something out.E.g silencer guns for stealth mission, flashlight for dark forest etc. 10/10! must have game.

crysis make my com cry. able to do 1280x1024 @high setting +16AA but only do 1600x1024 @medium setting 0AA.. T_T stay tune for review

love is such a strange thing.. it appear out of nowwhere and gone before u know it..
what should i do. Selfish mi or selfless mi.
