ok, due to the crap in the other *official* thread i thought i'd start this one, hopefully it will go down better
*thanks for the above pic Jihad*
release date is the 16/11/07, which most of you will know (unless you have been living under a rock!
)
game length is reportedly around 10-15 hours, which is pretty good for a single player game these days, it also has multiplayer support, meaning hours of additional fun

do not look beyond this post if you don't want to see spoilers.
now, a word from me. I preordered this morning, after finding some money lying around in my room (i assume it was mine).
all i can say is i am psycked about this game, i loved the demo, and i loved the MP beta. i hope, and it looks like it may well live up to a good degree of the hype. the suite modes really add some extra immersion from my point of view, although i would like a mode or mod, to be able to play the game without any 'powers'.
having played the demo in the hardest mode i can only hope crytek will have made it harder before the full release, or will add a patch to make it harder later. however it is a good challange, and the AI seems pretty well rounded.
anyways;
post away, please don't rubbish the thread. (unlike the other 'official' one which was pointless) and STOP POSTING SPOILERS IN THE DEMO THREAD, this is the place for them now.
post anything you like in regards to the game, screen shots, spoilers, help you need, settings, tweaks, hints and tips etc
