Crysis Warhead: Windows

...

frag grenade. As for throwing grenade; we now have a claymore mine (those are really fun), AT (anti-tank) land mine (it blows the Humvees and everything else in a 15 foot radius sky high) and a "nanogrenade" - it's an EMP type grenade that disables nanosuits (the KPA has the suits and grenades too, so watch out because there are more of them in warhead then in crysis).
There is also a new turret, anti-vehicle, it's slow but pretty powerful.

The graphics are as breathtaking as the original, even on the lowest settings. The sound is great too, the only thing is it isn't the same guy who does the voice for Psycho but it's another London accent (think Jason Statham's accent) so it's not too bad.

You also get what's called "Crysis Wars", it's its own disk of a multi-player game. I haven't installed it but from what the booklet says i figure it's alot like Halo, you can play online or play in a LAN (Local Area Network) party. There is a death match game and power struggle game. Power struggle is like king of the hill, play as US or KPA. Sounds fun but I don't have anyone to play with.

If you want a long, "keep you on the edge of your seat game", this may not be what you're looking for. But for someone that likes FPSs or just want something to do while your bored, this is a great game.

us with miserable CS and creating your own PR nightmare.

Bottom line: Looks like a fun game. Shame I'll never know. Thank goodness there are plenty of alternatives. Quite a few companies are waking up to the fact that they can make a ton of money on games without DRM. And of course, they save money by not having to BUY the DRM in the first place, since none of it works anyway.

future and so I bought the game with a student discount, bargain I thought. And it is a really polished and amazing game, easily some of the best production values I have ever seen. PC Gamers have never had it so good, especially with the dry years of late, Warcrafts...Sims...

However...the securom which is installed onto your computer (no exceptions, it will be with or without your permission, not that it asks of course) really did mess up the game at points for me.
It was the cause of the regular game crashes that I experienced, after using the *securom uninstaller* that is provided on their website the game has not crashed yet and is finally worth what I *paid* money for....

Tsk, tsk, tsk. The people who are defending drm here really don't have a clue. Protecting Intellectual property and fighting piracy do not have to be connected with such performance reducing protocols.

Oh and by the way, I now run the *ReLoaded* version of Crysis Warhead on my computer, and ran the securom uninstaller after installation to get rid of any trace of that "software" - I own the game and therefore by law I am entitled to run it on my computer.

Here is a link from the SecuROM Website for the uninstaller tool:
http://www.securom.com/support/SecuROM_Uninstaller.zip

I just find it really saddening that I had to use a *DRM-Free* copy of Crysis Warhead, which only the people with Broadband have the chance of obtaining to play smoothly on my computer.

I'd recommend that those who are on the sidelines to wait a little longer til taking the plunge and let EA sort out all the problems and patch the game. Play the first Crysis, it's DRM-free, and you can find it for really cheap these days.

But yeah...the game itself is quite frankly amazing, in my opinion it's what the Halo series could've been, way back in 1999 when I first saw the previews for it. But...well Halo, Halo 2 & 3 weren't really my cup of tea. I prefer games like Goldeneye, Black and now Crysis (& Warhead!). You will play through this twice minimum and you must play it on Delta for the best experience 2nd time round! Although people say 6 hours runtime, you will play through it twice so think more 12 hours - first time round will take longer because you will not know where enemies are and various set-points. But 2nd time round it will be harder but you know your way and you're familiar with the weapons (even for Crysis people, the new weapons and what they've done with the old ones are great. More grenades, yay!)

I don't care if people call me a pirate, because it would just be out of ignorance - I own the game, I just choose to install the DRM-Free & SecuROM-Free onto my computer (which I also use for other things and so I don't want malware or rootkits on there...). The fact that I had to download a *fairer* copy to supplement my genuine one just goes to show how perverse the lengths PC Publishers are going (and failing) to stop piracy.

I understand DRM - I don't like it but just like with iTunes, it's an evil I'm willing to bear. HOWEVER - system destabilising software installed without my consent, is not and should not be tolerated.

But remember guys, it's not Crytek's fault...they put the time and huge effort into making a great game, please support them. I want a Crysis 2!
