I'd expect the beta around July 11 (E3) and that's when Crytek has hinted it'll release the beta.

Pirated copies of BF2 with a keygen don't work online. With EA being the publisher, I doubt they asked for anything less than that.

True.

Also, the pre-release date is September 11th. That's not the official release date.
I think if you pre-order it, you get it on Sept. 11th.

He's using different guns as well. I don't know, but for some reason, seeing Koreans using plastic space age weapons doesn't make sense to me...
Maybe they got armed by China, hell, who cares?

Dunno mate.  I wonder why they gave a tactical shotgun a scope.  You'd blind yourself in one shot.  Silly futuristic technology.

I got some sucky news for you guys.

There are 2 types of servers in Crysis. DX9 Multiplayer, and DX10 Multiplayer. Now, if you wanna play with or against your friend, he will have to switch his card to DX9 mode so he can play with you. (assuming you have a DX9 card).

Also, destructible environments are only for DX10. You will not be able to shoot down trees and break apart buildings unless you have a DX10 card. I not sure if this will get fixed, but all in all, that's quite disappointing for us DX9 players.

Have you ever thought that DX9 cards can't handle the intense processing?

This is the only game that makes me think to get a new PC rather than a PS3. If I only know which one to go with! FFS

Uhmm, don't talk to me about handling processing, if a game is well optimized then yes it can handle anything. I'd like to further point out to your benefit that the video cards render the image, the CPU is processing the damage to the tree and making it fall over.
Yes, considering that more and more people are using dual core machines or getting stronger procs in general, yes it's possible.
Regardless, this game was never meant to cater to the weak machines...

PS3 sucks anyway. Jesus, isn't it obvious?

What about a NO? Damn, I hate ppl who say it sucks, without giving a god damn reason. What is bad about it? A good gaming console(lack of games atm, most of the games are coming between sept-dec, a good blu-ray player.  Enough? If you consider gaming on PC, there isn't many games coming that worth playing( Quake wars, and CRYSIS are the only once, really). On the other hand, most of the good games are coming to the PS3(MGS, TEKKEN 6, Haze, GTA IV ect... full list ) and the 360.

I think only singleplayer can handle destructible environments on DX9. If you go onto multiplayer for DX9, you can't have destructible environments.

Which doesn't make sense. Why can you destroy things on singleplayer, but not on multiplayer? It has the ability to do it on signleplayer, so it should be able to on multiplayer. But then that brings me back to the question of why they have 2 different types of servers, dx9 and dx10.

Here's the source
It's just a speculation, so I hope it's not true.

LOL, you are overexcited about Crysis, hopefully it won't be disappointing like Quake Wars. But, this game seriously looks fantastic, OMG. What are your computer specification btw Ryan?

Uhmm, some forum noob made that comment and he didn't even back it up. I'm calling a possibility, but it sounds unfounded. DX9 and DX10 are merely graphical enhancers at this point, you should be able to do both, but not get so much of a thrill with DX9 as in DX10.

Intel C2D E6300 @1.86GHz
eVGA 7900GS Overclocked 256MB (590MHz Core, 1520MHz Memory)
2GB of (quite slow) RAM
Windows XP

Might upgrade to Vista later.
Supposedly I can run the game on medium high with about 50 fps. Hope that holds true.

10) I've heard that Crysis will have seperate servers for DX9 and DX10 players. Does this mean I won't be able to play with my friends if they have DX10 and I don't?

No, you'll be able to play with or against your friend. There are two ways of making this possible. Either you upgrade your graphics card and operating system, or you tell your friend to put their game into DX9 mode. Those with DX10 have the advantage as they can play on both DX10 and DX9 servers where as those still using DX9 are restricted to playing only on DX9 servers.

The latest video and screenshots.
Looks like they went back to the original crosshair, but kept the strength/speed/armor symbols the same.

It's looking great though. Only a few minor changes I can see need to be fixed, and then the beta should be out soon. Along with the SP and MP demos.
