All my opinion.

Somewhere, I read that Halo 3 is exclusive to XBox, thanks to Money$oft.

Amen.

And snorky, I know you can have fun : D but Mouse>gamepad. By all rights you SHOULD be able to hump your buddies into submission.

I agree on the first part, disagree on the second.

I'm confused... Wait, you mean Xbox 360 controller users?

Yes. That's what he means.

lol ryan you need to get your eyes checked because from where I am looking crysis is ''the game'' in crysis I can have 16AA in cod4 I can only have 4AA WTF! thats because they had to water it down for consoles to handle it. and yes I said it CMT hasnt done -blam!- lately I did like the replay of the campaign whit some new weps CMTv1 but they are like ubisoft they promise a lot but only perform half of what they talk. cmt sp2 for example they said that was going to come out a long time ago but never happend and no updates on it either so its probley canceled. crysis>all halo games I am not saying cod4 is bad just sayin it could of been a lot better but you cant do half the -blam!- in cod4 that you can do in crysis.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

My term for Crysis after playing a ways into it so far is this: EPIC!

Dude that was around four sentences lol.
And for some reference, check my sig and my xfire profile for my system specs. Yes It was my first build so I don't expect everything to run perfect. I'm sure a significant part of my issues in Crysis have to do with it (although I have minimal to no problems in anything else)

But getting 25 fps on med/low settings (2x AA) on a mid-range computer is TERRIBLE man. I get 45 solid on mostly high settings in CoD. What is that? I don't know what kinda system you're running but right now, Crysis looks to me like a run of the mill shooter with a terrible story, a one-trick pony nano suit, and some admittedly awesome open ended environment design. But then it performs worse than everything else on my hard drive.

I'll sell anyone a copy of Crysis for 20 bucks if you pay shipping btw.

I may be stupid, but I'm not an idiot... just call me an oxymoron.

Custom-user objects for Forge. Kind of like the tools Bethesda gave us for Oblivion.

Also, the ability to support these free, user-created, downloadable objects.

Out by bloody 2010 is what id like to see, even earlier if possible >.>
UPDATED graphics, not some shat you picked up off the street, DON'T , or may heaven help your soul, DOWNGRADE the graphics, just because it seems like i t wont run well, a dedicated gaming rig will run H3 just fine, seeing as how CoD 4 makes H3 look like Tetris...
PROPER Net coding please
DITCH THE BUGS
ALL maps from the up coming map packs
If it doesn't meet these expectations DO NOT slap a $100 Price tag on it, because it IS NOT worth that much..

dude you have to remember what kind of cool -blam!- is in crysis. and there is probley more time money and effort put into 1 leaf then the entire cod4 game just compare the graphics and what kind of freedom you have in crysis compared to cod4. the storline was ''ok'' but I really dont care its a game not a movie. to me cod4 was extremeley lineair and only a few things you could shoot through. in crysis you can replay the missons multiple times with out doing the same thing twice and 90percent of everything in the game is destructiable or you can blow the -blam!- outta it. I dont know how medium your system is or even if it has dx10 so post your specs and compare. and on a different note dont expect halo 3 pc anytime soon or like MS is gunna read this

Here's my system:

Scroll down to see it.

The whole problem I have with Crysis is that the main draw, the visuals, isn't up to par with anything else I've played. CoD looks better than the 360 on my PC, while crysis looks (really) like crap.
Then you have the open-ended environments, which are fun to play in. Even with my gfx settins it still looks pretty good. But then you get dropped to 20 fps every time someone comes on screen... I am FORCED to use the same sniping tactics every damn time. If I drop the setting even more it looks like Halo PC. The bad optimization KILLED whatever joy I could have gotten out of Crysis. Thank you EA *rolls eyes*
And yeah, CoD's Single player sucks. Short, and only relatively enjoyable. I've played around 60 hours in the multiplayer though.

I saw a montage for CoD4...

I didn't like it... Too slow-paced. I'm more of a Quake / Unreal / Halo guy. The most "realistic" game I play is CS:Source.

LOL! UT is much faster than Halo. When I got UT3 for PC, I actually thought something was messed up with my new nVidia 8600GT graphics card because Halo and Halo 2 seemed to run SO slowly. But then I realized the card was not malfunctioning, UT3 was so fast it seemed like Halo was sooo slow :)

I do hope you just mean your PC can't handle the game, as crysis is the best looking sex that has come out in...forever. And while we're on optimization (if it hasn't already been touched), please please please whoever makes the port, it'll be a 3 year old game when it comes out. Please make it run like a 3 year old game should run.

EDIT - Ryan, just saw your specs man. No wonder.

no -blam!- huh ryan? thats BECUASE YOU ARE PLAYING with an under powered card thats an old dx9 card playing a game that is 2 years into the future really. I still cant figure out what you mean by the ''visuals arent up to par'' crysis has the best -blam!- graphics out there right now. so I have to say thats complete dog-blam!- ''visuals arent up to par''. of course what did you expect kickass dx10 -blam!- on an old machine? and another bull-blam!- ''If I drop the setting even more it looks like Halo PC. The bad optimization KILLED whatever joy I could have gotten out of Crysis'' the whole -blam!- IDEA WITH CRYSIS is to let people with 3 year old machines run crysis hell my friend has an nvidia 6600 that plays crysis with everything turned off of course but when he tried to play cod4 it would play but with lag... this shows me that you really havent done your Home work on this game and are eager to jump to negative conclusions becuase your dog -blam!- computer cant play it perfectly.
