OBVIOUSLY Steam's going to log in slower.

To be fair Xfire does quite a bit more than that whilst it logs in and synchronises with the servers, but fair enough .

And of course Crysis Warhead will be released on Steam too if Crysis is... that's not my point; my point was that it's generally an indicator that the game's retail figures sucked, if the games company and producers want to change their method of distrubution and whore the game out to a new online platform.

It sold somewhere between 1.5 officially and unofficially 3 million copies overall.

... So?

Sales figures mean nothing until you offset them against the costs of development, production and marketing.

Its not about Crysis.  Its about the fact that an EA game is being hosting on steam.

Well its a lot of fun. The game should only ever be played on the delta difficulty setting. On the lower settings you nano suit is a gimmick to let you experiment with attacking your enemies, on delta difficulty it is your means of survival. Very fun game that unfortunately gets very linear towards the end. Crytek say they've sorted most problems people had with Crysis for Warhead. The [url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/909/909584p1.htmlIGN review[/url]seems to agree with them, giving the game 9.4.

EVERYBODY. DO NOT BUY IT

Crytek have just revealed that both the retail and Steam versions of Crysis Warhead will have SecuROM and 3 install limit. I'd hoped that since Crytek had the option to avoid EA's DRM crap with Steam that they would. As you can see I didn't take it well.

"Confirmation from Crytek - Activation limit is 5 for Steam and Retail" You can't avoid it.

I hope they get very low sales. They'll blame piracy of course, the bunch of whiney twats.

Aaaaaand here comes the amazon attack http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B0 … Descending

The game wasn't ground-breaking or anything, but I had fun playing it.
(Except for the fucking anti-gravity level.)

That was the only real failure of crysis, far too high-tech for the average gamer's computers

My computer is nowhere near up to date, and I ran it on med settings without problems.

Yup. It's like that with all these limited games. However hardware changes and reformats also use up an activation, as well as OS and computer changes. Seriously just avoid it like the plague. It's just a time bomb waiting to tell you you can't play it anymore.

Seems like the game has been cracked. I want to buy it but skip all this DRM stuff. Shouldn't I just download the crack and use it with my retail version? I've heard the MP is on a completely different disk so it shouldn't have any issues with punkbuster if I want to play online.
