Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I have to say....WOW. With a 2720 i7 SB processor, 6970CF and 8 gig ram, I can play the original crysis as it was meant to be played; Sans last level (as almost any desktop can do either). I will chalk that up to bad coding.
I am about 75% through Crysis 2 on ultra with dx11 and 1.9 patch and have to say the original Crysis/Warhead is absolutely much more splendid to behold visually and from a sandbox and even physics point of view.
I can get lost in just shooting down trees, power punching shanty's and just being in awe of how technically advanced Crysis is. I do believe the new Crysis 2 looks great, but it has that scripted, modern warfare/DX9 feel to it. Obviously it was made with DX9 in mind but everything about it is very generic. DX11 hardly adds anything (especially if you read through that article I posted yesterday). I mean now we get handles on roadblocks and tessellated water on scenes without any! Interestingly, Crysis is STILL more taxing overall on my system than Crysis 2 with DX11 and 1.9. I do find DX11 to be much much more optimized than DX10 however.
It just amazes me that 4 years after a game is out, it still holds the crown of technical prowess and creativity. I remember John Carmack saying something to the like of, "With each new generation, graphical differences will be more subtle the closer things get to real life imagery and it makes complete sense. A great example is how subtle tessellation is in relatively fast paced shooter games. No one really can tell the difference between slightly raised edges with so much on screen. Quite honestly, the difference between DX9 (old) and DX11 on max settings is very very small.
Which I guess makes me wonder what the next generations of consoles will produce. Will we finally see the leap that makes Crysis look like Far Cry? Or are we a far cry from seeing Crysis on consoles?
Just some random thoughts. Would like to hear yours.

It IS a major console port. You know things are bad when the game first game out, its title screen said "press start". Crytek had to "patch" that out.

I like Crysis, but my laptop can't handle the heat it generates (plus I could only play on the lowest settings). :\ One day I hope to get to play it how it was meant to be played.

Every. Damn. Time.
The fact that Crysis is still one of the best looking games on the market for PC shows how stagnant and poor the PC gaming market really is these days though.
And Crytek are a bunch of sellouts. The whole lot of them. -
Thank you! + Rep. 15 bucks is better than 20. Can I activate the product on Steam and keep in my steam library by any chance? I know what I am doing on my day off work today
edit: Good point I see the CD key. I am just going to cancel the download and use the disk for now. Like you said if something goes bad with the disk, I can always use this to download! Thanks again. -
Interesting. I used the CD key I bought from amazon and when I put in my old warhead disk it said "cannot execute function. A security key is missing from this application. I am not going to bother troubleshooting. I am going to take this cursed freaking Warhead disk from my ex and throw it in the garbage
Anyway, when i finish downloading from amazon can I activate the game through Steam like I did Metro2033 from gamersgate?

Crysis 2 has the new Dx11 patch and new High Res Texture packs.
They make the game look very nice
