Has anyone played this?
Story mode is shit, but the game is still good due to one reason: A map editor.
Note that the map editor is very hard to use and confusing. All I learned after messing around is how to place objects, items and vehicles.
I don't know how to paint textures on the landscape though. Sounds basic, but it is harder than you think. Of course, I don't know how to create AI either. :/

How are the controls?
Clean or glitchy?

The controls are fine. With your nanosuit you got different abilities that you can use while combat (maximum speed, maximum strength, maximum armor, cloak). They can all be toggled with 1 mouse klick.
Combat is easy going, just as controlling vehicles. You can use your scope while jumping, which is useful if you're good at aiming.
When you're under heavy fire it's useful to toggle maximum armor mode and press Q and E in order to perform bullet dodging maneuvers.

The single player game is good, u can decide on how to play missions, stealthy or rambo style, it's great fun. But the editor is very glitchy and difficult, it crashes a lot, so I gave up on this after a few tries. Hopefully crysis 2 will have a better editor, and from what i've seen it does  |

SP sucks. Still too linear, no sign of free roaming gameplay at all. Even though you can take different paths...
I can't cope with it.
As for that editor, it is damn complicated indeed. I figured out some stuff, but no clue how to 1. paint textures 2. create AI 3. place MP spawn points.
The editor is also hardware hungry.

I just bought the complete set off ebay (Crysis, Warhead, Wars). Going to see what it's about and give the editor a try. See what we are getting into with Crysis 2  |

Grabbing it 'cause I've wanted to try it since I first heard of it.

I played with the editor a bit this past week, learned how to paint textures, mod the terrain, vegetation, place items, etc. The editor is not simple, takes some time to learn all the settings and how to build maps. Reminds me a bit of the ChromeEd sandbox for CoJ.
It will take some time but I hope to get a custom SP level completed this summer.

It doesn't work...
Last time I messed around with it was 6 months ago though... I might want to get back into that.

You're using the Crysis editor?
Is this on PC or what?
What are the system requirements?

Do you need a good computer to play this?

It looks like you need a fairly decent PC to run it. Am I right in assuming that the Crysis PC sandbox editor is included in the free demo? I'm thinking of grabbing it if so, in preparation for what we might see in Crysis 2. Thanks for posting the link to that tutorial max, it will certainly be very useful  |
