Crytek is offering
Crysis Wars for free ... for the
third time. Starting today, you can download the multiplayer mode of
Crysis Warhead and experience the thrill of popping dudes in the head without having to purchase the full version of the game.
Speaking of full purchase, Crytek and EA are offering a bundle of
Crysis goodness on May 5th. It’s called “Crysis Maximum Edition” and it includes all three
Crysis games --
Crysis,
Crysis Warhead and
Crysis Wars. The suggested price is $39.99, which doesn’t sound so bad if you have a computer that can handle Crytek’s stuff.
The multiplayer trial ends on April 17. You can go to the official
Crysis page
here to download the client and fill out digital paperwork. (As of right now the web monkeys haven’t updated the page to reflect that the trial has started.)
I still haven’t checked out
Crysis Warhead or
Crysis Wars and that really bothers me. What am I missing?
Crazy talk! Warhead featured far more base infiltrations (the most tactical part of Crysis) and a lot less boring forest-running. Plus, they at least tweaked the AI so it doesn't become magically omniscient whenever it steps behind a turret.
It's only a trial of the multiplayer. It expires in a week, although you can still play it over LAN, if I'm not mistaken.
to be honest i don't play much online multiplayer, so that's not something that would disuade me from piracy if i were that way inclined. the focus in crysis seemed much more about the single player campaign.
