    This should be good, any word on whether this is the way they are doing the said Crysis sequels.
    Like perhaps next one would put you in the suit of the main dude (the one who keeps vaporizing suits).
    Or is this just something to keep us occupied?

    As for those dissing Crysis, you've set your expectations too high. Most of the complaints are about
    the system requirements, I reckon they company realized that and is now reducing the requirements for warhead.
    They said that 8800GT could play Crysis on high, and claim that a 8600 GT should be able to play warhead on Crysis-worthy settings.

    If you want to get the most out of Crysis, then please please use Cubans Custom Config
    Be sure to use it at LVL1 for those with cards such as 8600 or lower, for those with 8700 or higher use one that you think is best
    by reading the provided descriptions in the installer.

    After using the config edit it to suit your needs by reading this section of the tweakguide.
    By performing these steps Not only do you get playable frame rates (in cases 2x better than vanilla Crysis), but keep outstanding image quality as well, no need to turn anything off.


    For those lazy people I can provide with a edited 8600M GT config, as the default Cubans one includes certain settings
    that the card cant handle.

    Just post here if interested

    I tried natural mod, but Im sticking to Ultima's Time of the Day mod (included in cubans config). This makes the colours more vibrant and keep the realistic feel where as natural mod just removes the effects and washes out the colours to compensate.

    Looks nice, but if they tell me that it's played on a GT280 ...well, so much for a better crysis :)
