Crysis Warhead Review

[alexkrat92]

to bad it will not be on the ps3...now i must sell my ps3 and buy a 500 $ video card...lol

[backdraft341]

Wait so you don't play as Nomad in this.Damn I was Dying to play as Nomad due to Crysis's cliffhanger ending.

[persen0123]

so crysis comes first, and then crysis warhead?

[MoterCrozz]

@persen0123 Yes...and no.Crysis warhead happens on the same time as crysis happens.

[MoterCrozz]

@toodsf1 Crysis Warhead is a bit better optimized than Crysis.Apart from the campaigns and the main characters,the game's are quite similar-there both freaking awesome!

[toodsf1]

@MoterCrozz thanks :)

[MoterCrozz]

@toodsf1 No problem :)

[frank1nbeanz]

bring warhead the xbox

[MoterCrozz]

@frank1nbeanz Why should they?

[frank1nbeanz]

@MoterCrozz because its awesome and something else to play, plsu they'll make more money and its gonna be another hit of the month like the first one

[MoterCrozz]

@frank1nbeanz Xbox360 sucks.If you want to play it buy a PC.It's way more worth it.

[GethAreAwesome]

I hated the main characters voice in this game soooooooo much.

[mcrayzor1]

steam is shit i hate it :L

[bluefalcon222]

do people still play crysis wars without hacking it? because i bought the maxium edition today for £8 from game on pc and i would like to play the multiplayer properly, thanks :D

[PhysicsTowerTeam]

@bluefalcon222 There's some people, but there are usually 2-3 Power Struggle servers with a good amount of people. There's also 1-3 servers for Instant Action/Team Instant Action.

Just stay away from cracked servers, and go on popular servers and you'll be fine. I've rarely saw a hacker, mostly just really good players :)

[bluefalcon222]

@PhysicsTowerTeam Thanks for the reply man :D

[daevildude45]

make this for console and ill buy it

[boredutuber757]

@daevildude45 console would make this game shitty

[daevildude45]

@boredutuber757 is that how most people who played it on pc and console agreed that the console version for crysis 1 was simpler and better

[PhysicsTowerTeam]

@daevildude45 The console version missed out on the 'strategy' or the game play of Crysis on the PC. But it was still an amazing achievement.

[daevildude45]

@PhysicsTowerTeam tell me how it missed out on the strategy

[PhysicsTowerTeam]

@daevildude45 Tactical wise, things have been made easier. Speed mode is slower, and is automatic. Ammo is highlighted, etc. It may make things simpler and easier, more like Crysis 2. The nanosuit seems to be modified to help with combat, because of console controls.

And, they took out the VTOL level in the console.

I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not your full experience.

[PhysicsTowerTeam]

@daevildude45 And yes, it is simpler. But some prefer the original, and some prefer it this way :)

[headiiboy123]

Cryteck should release this for console

[SuperCourtney31]

@panney3 thumbs up if they did 2 days ago.=D

[CherryxXxBoom]

@SuperCourtney31 This is crysis warhead.....

[snake9718]

@panney3 its already out on psn......FAIL!

[CherryxXxBoom]

@snake9718 This is Crysis Warhead not Crysis 1 What a FAIL kid...

[snake9718]

@CherryxXxBoom im a fail OK but what about you CAN you fucking read i REPLIED to him sayin I AM A FUCKING FAIL whos the FAIL now????

[CherryxXxBoom]

@snake9718 ur still a fail.

[snake9718]

@panney3 im a fail actually crysis 1 is out on psn but no this im a FAIL!LOL

[MoterCrozz]

@panney3 Why should they?

[dicscodaddy]

2:05 Man have you ever heard of driving on the road?

[tsunamaisurfer606]

I thought that this guy worked for gamespot?

[fatabe1]

This and 1 are worth $10 on steam, one of the best deals I've had. -3 steam

[elphillo1]

Fucking $7.50 for both of these games!

[Geophaser]

STEAM SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Its £4.



[Mrcalitax]

Jason statham

For crysis movie

same Psycho voice, Same Psycho face

Nuff said u.u

[jozzie00]

@ArmyDawg1337 hey, guess what? Crysis will be available on PSN and XBL on October 1st!

[ArmyDawg1337]

@jozzie00 yeah i know that but why cant all the pc exclusives be multi console??

[Phobosinadamant]

@ArmyDawg1337 Why cant all console exclusives be on PC?

[ArmyDawg1337]

@Phobosinadamant thats what i meant why cant all games just be on ps3, pc, 360. but the wii cant support alot of exclusives because it cant hande it

[ArmyDawg1337]

why the fuck dont they just make it multi console?? the developers will mkae more money, anyway, because people who have a ps3 and 360 will buy it, not just people who play on the pc -___-

[MrOmniblast]

@ArmyDawg1337

...Why don't we just do that for every game? <_<

[ArmyDawg1337]

@MrOmniblast do what

[ThatBoredShow]

hamhockbeans sent me here...

[DJSisawsome]

hey guys remeber when you DIDNT HATE IGN just cause they didnt give a game 10/10

[mikeyzz2]

@BigRandomBox Most games yes, by like 40%-60% depending on the game.

[mikeyzz2]

@BigRandomBox Yeah windows 7 does that. I have a pentium 4 with HT on my other pc and it thinks i have 2 cores.. But trust me the VRAM doesn't add up you can search it on google.

[mikeyzz2]

@BigRandomBox It's the speed.. You get double the speed thats why when you multi your gpu you only get +40%. Man seriously Don't call me a dumbass just because your a computer illiterate derp.

[mikeyzz2]

@BigRandomBox The VRAM doesn't add up computer illiterate dipshit

[voncho1]

@BigRandomBox fuck you im so jealous! :( my single 8600 can barely play crysis on medium settings i waanna see the pretty graphics too....

[ThePootedhard]

But can it run minecraft?

[foorse]

@BigRandomBox holy fuck

[Silenthunter287]

I've just bought the Crysis maximum edition and was wondering what I should I do about Warhead's DRM.

[Sulberto]

@BigRandomBox holy shit

[R1chman10]

@BigRandomBox OVERKILL!

[nuggz503]

I can get 111 fps @1920 X 1080 on crysis 2 but im lucky to get 38 fps on max settings in this game. But yea..... pretty

[SqrlGaming]

@nuggz503 what are your system specs?

[nuggz503]

@SqrlGaming i7 2600k@4.4, radeon hd 5770, 4gb ram. 650W cosair, Win 7 ultimate 32bit I think the video card needs to be upgraded

[SqrlGaming]

@nuggz503 damn i cant imagine what destruction my 5850 will do when i get crysis 2

[vanisher911]

@SqrlGaming crysis 2 actually dumbed down the graphics even more. havent you seen the reviews? crysis and crysis warhead have the best visuals of the two

[JoostRevo]

@nuggz503 why 32 bit windows 7?

[Stefan9644]

I don't know what you're running it on in this review but you should get a better PC

[shpladau]

@Stefan9644

Recording makes preformance worse, besides, this was 3 years ago.

[minecraftguru123]

would this run good on high setting on an alienware m11x?

[acdcgnr100]

@minecraftguru123 Yes, not at max setting though.

[Boomboy1195]

whats the difference between Crysis and Crysis Warhead

[fallingfromjupiter]

@Boomboy1195 Crysis Warhead is an expansion of sorts. Different story, slightly different multiplayer, better graphics. But it's essentially the same game with a different campaign.

[acdcgnr100]

@Boomboy1195 Has better multiplayer. The story is the same as in crysis but you just play a different character 

[tvaughanx]

maxed easily with my 6970 1090t

[Squiremjr]

This is why I bought both games... While they were on sale!

[Bain0o]

Crysis is the reason why every gamer should have a pc...

[yomama629]

This game costs just as much as the full game on EA Download Manager

[norwegiandude11]

IGN can't play this game for shit -_-

[Crudeowl229]

The guy sounds like he has peanut butter in his mouth.

[ArmyDawg1337]

@Crudeowl229 i can understand that because peanut butter s awesome

[iliev93]

WTF JASON?

I NEVER KNEW HE WENT TO IGN AFTER LEAVING GAMESPOT

[harrymasononvacation]

I really wonder if people are blind. Crysis may look good, but it's far from realistic. In fact, I haven't seen a game YET that looks real. Aside from that, this game was pretty much a standard FPS. I don't know why, but I just didn't find this game that fun. After you get past the sheer number of things that can be on screen at once, the rest of the game just feels too typical.

[firefly2795]

@harrymasononvacation nobody said it was realistic

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

@harrymasononvacation; That's because the only thing that looks like real life is..well, real life. Pretty much the only thing that can be nailed for realistic value is environment and such. As for people, I have yet to see a convincing computer generated person anywhere, and have serious doubts that it'll ever even happen. This is the problem with games these days, people focus too much on useless technicalities. I'd rather play Super Mario Bros on my nintendo, or Pacman.

[harrymasononvacation]

@InFlam3sW3Trust I don't even think it's the people that is the problem. It's trees and plants and such. They always end up looking just...wrong compared to everything else. Sure, people don't look real, but tell me one game where plants look even close to the real thing. Okay, sure, i'm just nitpicking, but i'm pretty tired of the graphics era. We need just some good, fun games and sadly, if it isn't Call of Duty or just another generic FPS, it's going to bomb most of the time. Sad.

[pricture]

Guys do I need to get Crysis- Warhead to know the complete story between Crysis 1/2? Or is it just one of those extras for shits and giggles? :D

Btw, I have- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core processor 5000 + 2.60 GHz,

3582 MB of RAM and ATI Radeon HD 4800 and the single player Crysis demo ran great on max settings. a LITTLE lag from time to time but other than that it was good. :/

[batista6242]

@pricture leave this,this is just a small expansion buy crysis 2!!

[pricture]

@batista6242 I just bought both, so its all good. :]

[magichristo]

Why the fuck do people wonder if Crysis will run on their PC? I have an old Slimline PC with a 2.2Ghz Core Duo and 256MB of 9300GE video card memory, and crysis runs FINE as hell!

[nejisdeath]

@magichristo

on low settings

[magichristo]

@nejisdeath Yes, and it's still fucking gorgeous.

[nejisdeath]

@magichristo

i know ^_^

[why0isnt0this0workin]

@magichristo I disagree. I have run it on low, but I looks like shit. I have a 3.0 GHz P4, 2 GB of RAM, and a 1 GB graphics card.

[magichristo]

@why0isnt0this0workin I have 2.2GHz in a C2D, 3 GB RAM and a whopping 256MB graph card and I actually find it quite beautiful.

[mitsospower12]

Hey guys what's the best website to look for graphics cards in the uk?

[tmg331]

@mitsospower12 just go to amazon ebay or nvidia.com

[238luney]

the top comment is dum dude if u want the full review go to ign .com like he said

[kungharry]

hm, this looks good. I'll have to see how I like the original first though. Haven't had time to play it.

[semisanity]

"battles combine with other battles"

Wouldn't that just make it one battle?

[SeventhPride]

Can someone help me check if my laptop is enough to run it at full settings? Cause I am thinking of spending $20 on this game. Thanks

Intel i7 @ 1.60Ghz

8gb ram

nvidia 360M graphic card

Please help =)

[nERVEcenter117]

@SeventhPride Crysis is much more GPU than CPU intensive, and I've got a laptop with 4 GB of RAM and a 260M and I can squeak by on High at a very playable 20 FPS.

You're fine. Enjoy your nearly maxed settings.

[SeventhPride]

@nERVEcenter117 Thank you! Your comment is very helpful! =)

[acdcgnr100]

@nERVEcenter117 20 fps is hardly playable........

[Xistanceowner]

if you played as oniel in the first and pshyco in the warhead who is second?

[misterhoobomaster]

crysis 1 only read dual cores :P crysis 2 reads quad thats a good thing :D

[k0is0king]

I hope when crysis 2 comes out they will have some collectors edition with all the crysis

[forthhokage444]

@joeygoalyslayer the 512mb is good but the need a better processor I suggest if u want to play high res a quad core amd with 3.0 ghz

[joeygoalyslayer]

can it work on.......

Intel(R)Core i3 cpu @ 2.13 ghz

4gb ram

512 Graphic Bulitin

Plz reply :) :)

[poovannaorcbane]

@joeygoalyslayer is ur 512 mb graphics inbuilt with ur motherboard?? if yes then the game will not run on ur pc satisfactorily :( ur processor and physical ram is good enough but to play cyrsis warhead in medium settings the most basic card u need will be the Nvidia geforce 9500 gt and its ati equivalent card also it will depend on the resolution u run it in. higher resolution poorer performance :D nvidia geforce 9600 gt 1 gb will run in high setting at 1440 resolution very well

[meeptron1]

i will give it a 5.5 its good but not the crysis we play and less vhicals

[haqful]

Can i run it ... ?

intel core 2 due 1.8 ghz 2cpu

2gb ram

500HD

256 Graphic Bultin

[300josh]

@haqful

256 is too low

x4 core recommended

2gb RAM is too low too

[StanonCookie2]

@haqful no

[whipemybutt]

this game is very short, but i think this is more like a crysis 1.5 cause i finished it in around 5-6. and there is not a multiplayer

[xxKILLERKHxx]

i have the cd for both crysis warhead and wars witch one shold i install

[manciuxl1]

crysis and crysis warhead on steam for 5 euro :)

must buy even if u have a shit pc

[bensreenan]

@manciuxl1 lol i bought it too :D

[ChristosXcore]

£6.24 on Steam atm!

[tigermax94]

So wait, the original Crysis review said it was incredibly linear, but this review says that it was a sandbox style game. Make up your damn mind IGN!

[anduril9969]

@tigermax94 It's a linear progression of very, very large areas. Imagine a string of beads, where each bead is a KPA encampment and the space between is a stretch of road on which you can choose to cloak and go prone and sneak along, get in a car (but don't do that), and just run through guns blazing. If you want to stretch that metaphor to breaking, you could imagine that little knots in the string are KPA checkpoints. But that's optional.

[FullM3tal7ack3t]

@tigermax94 not really

[fallingfromjupiter]

@tigermax94 They said the game was linear for the story's sake, but the levels were comparable to Far Cry's. There was no contradiction.

[RedEggsCereal]

@tigermax94 they didnt say it was incredibly linear

[Served001]

ign please get ati hd 5970 :D

[bowei0060]

yes it will play on high

[tol1213]

can i play crysis warhead on my aspire AX1800 windows 7 NVIDIA GeForce 7100 Integrated ?

[plasticpunch]

bad game guys... i didnt like it

[kidkarkassa1]

@plasticpunch you probably don't like your mom, too

[plasticpunch]

@kidkarkassa1 hey kid is not normal to like your mother... of course i dont like her!!

[Dudex58]

I love this game, have it for pc. I never liked shooter, nor did I play with keyboard, this game will convert u, it is so perfect, AND THE IMMERSION it makes u feel so alive.

Shoot tires, grenade launch a tank, kill a helicopter, use different suit modes. And thats just a small list.

[versionintegrale]

its awesome, runs so much better than crysis 1

[FCBayernMuenchen15]

@zouga Thanks :D

[FCBayernMuenchen15]

I was thinking of getting this off of Steam, but does anyone still play it? xD

[zouga]

@FCBayernMuenchen15 YES, its a cracker :)

[ObsceneOutcast]

Could I run this with AMD Athlon II dual core M300 processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200? If so on what settings?

[bowei0060]

@ObsceneOutcast funny thing is. ive actually done a benchmark with that gpu. umm it will play on low settings. i ran this with a stronger cpu the phenom ii x2 550 callisto which couldve given it a boost.but like the guy said. the game still looks great. play around with the settings. If you have the money go buy a 5770 or a gtx 460

[ilovemaryam08]

@bowei0060 SO the Nvidia GTX 460 will play this game at 1080 on high settings?? I'm new to PC gaming. ans by chance that is the card that i planned on buying. any info will help thanks.

[bowei0060]

@ilovemaryam08 it will do ok 30fps on high settings. high setting is not maximum btw. but it will do pretty good. dont know how Crysis 2 is gonna be with its higher detail awesomer detail graphics engine. I played on high with AA and AF with 30fps so yes. you can play on high

[GuruGaming98]

@bowei0060 True the only thing that will differ are the resolutions and amount of dvds comes with each console. Yeah Crytek hasn't announced how many disks it will take for the xbox 360 or ps3.

[sureurmi565]

My computers lags while just WATCHING the REVIEW!!!!

[marti6021]

@sureurmi565 looool

[sebimitch]

@sureurmi565 hahaha

[why0isnt0this0workin]

@sureurmi565 Do you have a mac? I used to have an eMac and had the same thing for every video. I bought a PC for $300 and now I can run this game XD

[MNiTFTW]

@sureurmi565 Your computer sucks

[laifalbert]

@sureurmi565 Not your computer, just the IGN people for some reason not lowering the settings to record.

[MrAndre96]

@sureurmi565 i have a laptop packard bell easy note tk and my computer have minimum lagg :)) and it is not so expensive :)

[ringedgebetterbereal]

saying your gonna be hard pressed to find a better pc shooter is gonna have a bunch of 13 year old boys saying,"call of duty was better!" XD

[MouthofSaurons]

@ringedgebetterbereal I think he meant:

"... for a mature audience"

:)

[ringedgebetterbereal]

@MouthofSaurons XD

[marcosfan90]

@TheCountryboy99ful thanks , so i would buy the original

[Chandu83]

Awesome! Warhead is one of the best games I played! Crytek, PLEASE don't fuck up with Crysis 2.

[KedViper]

@Chandu83 It's going to console so...

[Chandu83]

@KedViper Never know man. One never fucking knows. I mean it could still turn out ok.

[KedViper]

@Chandu83 Yeah, It's a pretty action-packed game so the console market won't have a hard time playing it. I just don't want to see another Bioshock.

[pabsensi]

@Chandu83 Oh, come on... The game was too short... it took me two weeks to complete the single player campaign, and there is no such thing as "sandbox" gameplay, because the huge amount of enemies and the linearity of the missions offered not much variety... I liked the vehicles and the type of strategies you could use upon your enemies because of the armor capabilities and the upgradeable weapon system, but it was all too short... personally, I would give it an 8

[blazedbuzzkillers]

@Chandu83 too late, they went mainstream.

[expertnoobFTW]

Can't wait to buy crysis maximum edition!

[marcosfan90]

@TheCountryboy99ful i don't know what securom is but i know it will run ok as my vaio fw is very powerful

[atoz9631]

is this a sequel to cyrsis or a different game?

[MrHDizzla]

@atoz9631 Its an extension to Crysis..... the sequel is Crysis 2 which is going to be released later this year

[atoz9631]

@MrHDizzla so is it like a whole game or an add on?

[MrHDizzla]

@atoz9631 It is another whole game..... you don't need Crysis to buy / play Crysis warhead. BTW I was wrong about Crysis 2 its coming out march next year..

[atoz9631]

@MrHDizzla thanks mate

[mit871chell]

Hope to see with cryengine 3 that they make the engine better this time around so it is enhanced for quad cores and sli/crossfireX. That'd make it a ton better.

[marcosfan90]

shouls i buy crysis or crysis warhead

[prokentsful]

@marcosfan90 I haven't tried Warhead, but apparently it runs better on your PC than Crysis does - and the graphics look better.

So I would say to buy Warhead, but I don't know if you need to start the story with Crysis 1 or not...

[marcosfan90]

@prokentsful crysis runs pretty good as i have installed the demo i think warhead is better

[TheJuzy]

So.. A russian walks in to an amarican bar...

The russian says: you fuckink amaricank!

Then Psychp says: I'm brittish u muppet!!!

and goes this is sparta-kick on his ass :)

[Sejo323]

i dont know why people say it requires great pc

i run it at very high

dual core 3.0ghz, 3gbram, ati radeon 5670 direct x 11

1440x 1024

no lag at all

[prokentsful]

GIVE IT A FUCKING VERDICT!

The reason people watch these is to see how PROFESSIONAL GAMERS scored it...

[azrc87]

@prokentsful And then complain if the score isn't what they want.

[prokentsful]

@azrc87 Exactly. =D

[zchiqa]

@prokentsful true : DD

[WackyFactory]

@prokentsful How about you watch the fucking review instead of waiting for a score?

[coldplayfannr1]

@prokentsful IGN is professional?

[Superfreak937]

@prokentsful Do you really need a number to tell you whether to buy something?

[prokentsful]

@Superfreak937 No, but it helps greatly in my choice to either buy it or leave it.

Judging by the amount of thumbs up my comment has, it seems I'm not alone on my opinion.

[DanceLikeANitwit]

@prokentsful He did give a final verdict 2:35
