Crysis Warhead - Gone Gold

I like both the Aliens and the humans, the humans give you the whole stealth, sneek and pop em between the eyes aspect, and the aliens give you the whole heart racing holy f#*k oh my [insert deity here] I'm gonna die RUN AWAY aspect.

Re: the guy on the bridge being O'Neill, I thought that too for a sec, if the Koreans said who he was maybe I missed that as I was playing on Delta, so most of the Koreans dialogue isnt in english.
 
Did anyone else find that the gameplay was smooth but the cutscenes 'jumped'? Not sure if its because i'm using crossfire or what, just the cutscenes wern't smooth, the FPS was high, but the models would jerk from action to action every few seconds.
 
possible spoilers:

that scene was pretty misleading for me, i thought it was oneil who fell from the bridge, that why i thought physco was getting so upset, cue a shocker later on when oneil is flying about all good and well which made me think wtf was physco being so emo about?!?!

lol. funny. that is exactly what I thought too :)
 
i forced the game to run in dx9 with a -dx9 and everything was fine. was seeing 56 fps at 1920x1200 with no AA yet in DX10 it was carp.
 
Ran horribly for me in DX9 for some reason.

DX10 can run 1680x1050, gamer, 4xAA and its smooth. Will even run on enthusiast with 4xAA very well, but there are just a couple of places where it's not totally smooth, so just stick with gamer now.

Setting the CPU priority for the game to high has made it a hell of a lot smoother for me though. Stuttering and hitching are a thing of the past :)

Think the game has a problem with quads....
 
Hi Guys,

Just thinking about goin to the shop to pick this up? (want something to do until clear sky works properly) is it worth getting if i'm running a 3870x2? Read a bit on here and it look like it might not be the best card to have?

running 1650*1050 res!

Cheers
 
but what were those black cutscenes about though?

O'Neill was meant to be part of 'Raptor Squad' (nanosuit team), however he didn't respond as he should have to a 'Code Blue' situation (usually refers to someone in need of immediate resusitation), as such he was struck off the special programmes team and Nomad took his place.

Hence O'Neill's hostility towards Nomad, and how he knows Psycho, and how he goes on about how it should have been him on the team etc etc. Also explains why he is constantly disobaying orders and trying to backup Psycho 'to make amends' etc.

I started the game up last night and cranked the graphics up to enthusiast with no AA. I only played the game for 5 mins but it was faultless and I didn't notice any slow down at all. Does the game get much more graphically demanding or do you think i'll be able to play it through on these settings ?

So far it seems to run much better than the original Crysis !
 
Just a quick question, do you have to play crysis to understand warhead?
I don't really want to play crysis as i know it will play so badly while warhead seems to be much more refined so it may give me a chance.

There's hardly any crossover between the two's stories - Warhead has its own separate plot that just happens to occur at the same time as the one in the original game - just on the other side of the island. Most people who will play Warhead without having touched the original will get on with it just fine.

Saying that however Crysis will fill in a lot of the blanks, like why all of a sudden there are aliens...

Thanks for clearing that up for me:)
 
Funny how this game wasn't supposed to repeat mistakes of the original and yet it's the same story with shoddy default config files - dead bodies are still being snatched by The Unknown when you're not watching, foliage and stones appear by magic when you get closer and enemies behind foliage are still visible from distance but are under cover when you look through the scope. I think the only clear optimization was that the highest setting now looks like what was previously known as regular high quality...

Does anyone else have "clog" effect like the game was leaking into graphics memory - at start game runs smoothly (as much as Crysis can run smoothly I mean) then gradually gets more and more choppy as you progress through next two or three levels to the point where motion blur when you turn around quickly gets really choppy and cut scenes are almost unwatchable. Then if you quit and start again it gets smooth again for some time?
