Celebrate the holidays with Crysis Wars free trial photo

EA and Crytek are aware that gamers have some extra time on their hands during the holiday season. That’s why (starting the December 19) the publisher and developer combo are rolling out Crysis Wars for free. The offer is valid through December 28, at which point EA will pull the plug on the free fun.

If you didn’t know, Crysis Wars is the multiplayer component of Crysis Warhead. It features three different modes that shooter fans should be familiar with and over 21 maps for players to kill each other in. To keep with the feeling of the season, Crytek will be unveiling the Holiday Map Pack this week and it will be available through this offer.

To get in on the action, simply register at the official Crysis website and then download the game. Apparently, you can do this preemptively as the key is generated to only work on the dates above.

Awesome. The only problem I see with this is anybody who can run Crysis (or Crysis Wars) already has it I'm assuming. It's kind of a universal benchmark test for your PC. If you don't already have it though, get ready for an awesome game! I'll be signing back on for those new maps.

nice to see this happening, although as SpikeDelight has said those who can run Crysis might already have it as I have. But good to see none the less.

And the best looking games of the year by a long way.

Crysis ftw.

I was trying to download this but you need to have a fileplanet account and the lowest membership they have is 15 dollars for 3 months. This is crap.

OK, I gotta say that I don't think a lot of the games for the currentgen systems this year look a whole lot worse than Crisis Warhead does. I don't know, MGS4, Uncharted, CODWAW, Gears 2, or even Resistance 2 or GTA4..

I don't feel like Crysis Warhead, although awesome, is such a huge leap above all that stuff like people make it out to be..

I mean I run it pretty well too, not like i've got a $6000 PC good, but pretty damn good. It's very, very, pretty, and the expansivness of the terrain is incredible. I guess all my blathering is getting at the fact that the game feels like a tech demo sometimes and the graphics while amazing..are a little overhyped. We're in an age of graphical splendor and Crysis isn't as far ahead of everyone else as people make it out to be.

This reminds me: what happened to battlefield heroes? Wasn't that supposed to come out in the summer? Is it canceled?

Celebrate the birth of Christ by killing digitally animated North Koreans! Yay! Just like Jesus would be doing!

OK seriously though I don't think Jesus would be wasting him time playing that pile or DRM infestation, he would probably playing non DRM games like umm..... Sins of a Solar Empire, no, ummmm shit nevermind..
