Crysis MP beta now open to everyone!

Graphically the only differences are fuller foilage, POM and lighting, so if what they say is true it should actually run better in dx10 with 64bit...
 
running in dx10 also grants the ability to play on dx10 servers, which are slightly different from normal servers, as they have destructable scenery.
Another difference ^^
 
I thought I'd try this game on max settings just to see what it could look like and its amazing quality, definetly impressive.
Unfortunately I forgot I had 2xAA on so it was like 10fps on my x1950pro


Everything in the background is real but you cant ever use it because its out of bounds, its nicely done because as you get closer it just gets more and more detailed. The sea bed looks great too except then you die of no oxygen, etc

Even if the gameplay were junk (remains to be seen), you could just leave it on spectate mode as a screensaver :D

Crysis have been working with mod makers from the start luckly so its not all down to them wether its good online or not.

A quick comparison of model detail seemed to show a maximum of 20000 polys for a crysis vehicle vs 8000 in BF2

I love it when people pimp our mod for us....
TY :cool:

Note the dedicated OcUK thread for OE2 in my sig ;)
 
i love the hovercraft in the early stages of a game, get in one and go mow people, plays almost like the magmower of old in Planetside, except you cant strafe.

It;s relatively tough against small arms fire, although you're vulnerable to be picked off as the driver if you stay still, you can cap bunkers and energy sites sat inside it and it goes on water and land just as well :D

when you spawn forget the boats go for the hovercraft and get some easy early Prestige by mowing :D

yes it is lame and annoying but fun if you're the one doing the mowing (p,s to stop it, suicide a car into it :D)
 
Get that X2 3800 up to 2.8ghz like mine is, then you should see frames fly up with that 2900. Didnt know the beta only uses one core, thats a bit crap
