What game are you playing

[smeagoly1]

Gone back to playing a bit of Rome Total War, then realised 3 hours later i was still playing it.

Been playing Armed Assault with the latest patch. I can actually play it now without the PC BSOD-ing half way through every mission!

Roll on ArmA2 and Operation Flashpoint 2!

Crysis Warhead and Pure

[kingbuxton]

Crysis Warhead - so far so good....but

...............just got to the Hovercraft bit, awful, hate stuff like that, ended up floating around in a circle with seemingly no way to go getting the crap shot out of me, utter garbage.

Will try again later, hopefully this is just a blip and not a return to the last 25% of Crysis?

And another game destroyed by a completely shocking section that I would rather just skip than even bother with, the controls are terrible, it's bouncing all over the place, you can't see where you are going. The thing you are chasing is nothing short of comical. It vanishes off screen from time to time "We lost him" they say on the radio, a pathetic attempt at creating tension, then it reappears when you have lost some energy going in circles waiting for "We've found him".

And why have they made the games specs even higher? Most of us couldn't run the first one fully, this is even more demanding, like I am going to go spend £150 to drive a hovercraft that defies gravity

Its only a short part of the game

I disagree I found Warhead a lot less stressful on my system than Crysis


I just finished both Crysis and Warhead. Just finished FEAR and replayed MoH Airborne. Need something new

try Stalker Zing... it is worth it mate and you wont finish that game quickly either

HELP! Where am I going wrong, I chased that thing into the area with the frozen ships, it jumps over the top of it, vanishes! I can see the tracks on the ice where it has supposed to have gone, through some mines half in the ice. You go a bit further and there is a huge Alien ship fighting the bad guys, and some beach houses, some guys in Nano suits. The green dot indicating where this "Lee" bloke is I can't see any way of getting to. It appears to be up on top of the cliff at the back.

It runs like a dog for me (still on my 8800Gts). Got it set exactly as Crysis is set and it runs way worse, had to drop some detail to get it smooth, I can see where it has gone, HUGE open areas and the Gfx are amazing.

It runs like a dog, does that work? Might be a Greyhound

Oh, I see. There is no finess, you just steam in, dive out and leg it up those stairs. The fact the bloke you are chasing just vanishes off the map is best forgotten I guess. I just struggled to the main base shooting those annoying Aliens only to have to kill a giant Alien, which I did, YES, I did, as the blokes meant to be helping are doing rock all but get in the way, it died, I killed off the last couple of little doods, something went bang, and I am dead.

They destroyed the last game once the Aliens/Ice appeared, and they got slated for it, so what do they do, the exact same thing

Not impressed, good job it was only £15 or it would be going back.

I've just finished Crysis warhead and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Thought it was alot better than the first game. Cant complain really for £14.99 (Well maybe I can when it has SecuRom )

There's a set of wooden stairs behind the huts, abandon the hovercraft and head up stairs

I am hopefully almost finished Mercenaries 2. It has to be one of the buggiest/achievement glitched games ever. Of course, it's not surprising when you know that EA are involved with it!

Yeah, I saw it. You just pile in and leg it. I guess I was thinking about it way too much, I was trying to find the other bloke in the hovercraft, I came to the conclusion it had glitched when he just vanished into thin air.

I've just finished Crysis warhead and I have to say I really enjoyed it.

To the point you get on the Submarine, that was all great stuff. Once the Ice hits and the Aliens appear, again, it goes downhill, like Crysis did.

Sorry, but when the guy you are chasing just vanishes off the level, and that is a scripted event, shocking game design. Seems like they couldn't figure out how to end that section.

Dunno why that happened to you but I watched the hovercraft go off into a tunnel it didnt just vanish like you keep saying.

I also didnt take the root with the stairs I ran to the left and used the strength mode on the suit to jump up the rocks

I am looking forward to Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway and CoD 5 but I think I am gameless till then
