Still don't understand the weapons upgrade / attachment options and I am more than half way through the game. Lets say, there are two scarab one with a silencer and other with a sight. If I pick up the silencer one, how do I add sight attachment? Or, vice versa. And, later one, I get grenade launcher and shotgun attachments.

Whenever you pick up a weapon, a Scarab for example, you get to keep whatever attachment(s) on there forever for that weapon. So if you have a silencer Scarab equipped and see a red dot sight Scarab on the ground, just pick up the RDS Scarab and drop the silencer one and then press the weapon attachment button and select both. Doesn't sound like you are using the weapon attachment menu?knitoe said:

Well, don't some Scarabs/weapons only work with certain attachments? For example, a ranged Scarab (or SCAR...I can't remember) has the assault scope on it but it doesn't let me add on a silencer.
Excerpt from the Crysis 2 novelization by Peter Watts:

It's a bit, er, 'rough'. It's a really nice read, though.

I've put around 6-8 hours (360 version) into the game's campaign and judging by the chapter list in the extras menu - I have around 4-5 chapters left depending on where I am upto (can't remember exactly).
The game is amazing - up among the best shooters ever.
Graphics are incredible. I played a good portion of the KZ3 SP and it's just no contest for me. Everything in C2 looks fantastic and I haven't noticed too many performance issues (cloaked sniping tends to get the game choking). That said, there are some strange oversights such as keypads/buttons for some things that look PS1 bad and ridiculously awful paper effect when activating printers/copiers.
I really like the story taking place almost entirely through your visor - it made the Onyx building scene one of the best moments in videogames for me, and it helps greatly in keeping me immersed. That said, the silent hero was not a good choice. It works in Halo because Master Chief is an elite, tailored-for-war, badass, cold steel, probably gave your mother the only orgasm she ever had, awesome silent type - because you know who he answers to (only chuck Norris), and what his purpose is. I feel none of that in crysis, I'm some bitch marine who doesn't do one thing before getting fucked up and getting lucky enough to be found and suited up. To top it off, who the fuck is Gould and why am I following his instructions? I'm just not sure that in a reasonably decent plot - that having a silent unproven hero was the best choice.
The MP is a blast - more of the same from the demo, which I loved. My K/D is currently sitting at 2.89 and I can feel the COD whore creeping out of me.
Oh and dat audio - great effects and music. Second to Reach for soundtracks this gen for me.
Well done Crytek, I'm happy they went this direction instead of C1 - will be there for that Kingdoms game day one.

That's right. You can't get every attachment for all the weaps. Some seem to be restrictedMisterAnderson said:

The subway station listings are hilarious off and it's odd how Grand Central is continually called Central, but otherwise not that bad at all.X-Frame said:

For PC keyboard it's whatever key you have it assigned to. I don't remember the default because I changed it. For 360 controller, hold the back button.knitoe said:

There's also a cluster rocket launcher at one of the supply areas. I forget what the name of the weapon is. But you hold it like carrying a turret. Just looks like a box, so it's easy to miss.MRORANGE said:

This is the one enhancement that lets you know when an enemy is nearby. On Semper Fi or Die I noticed it on the marines with you, for whatever reason the beeping comes from anyone, not just enemies. Since you're grouped with them for pretty much the next 2 levels I just took it off since it was annoying as hell.

You played the entire level like that? I could barely make it through the video.

It would have to be some pretty loony stuff to get more SciFi than Crysis, what with its super VTOL aircraft, experimental plasma guns, gauss guns, nanosuits, handheld tactical fusion weapons, zero G squid aliens and alien freeze rays.

Eh, that would be Half-Life...Dreohboy said:
But seriously, why the fuck did Steam download half of this game then randomly decide to stop and download it all again. Thought I was in for a good weekend once the wife and kids were asleep, now I have to waste my game time watching this blue bar for another hour... :-/

I think it gets kinda sci fi when the suit pretty much becomes a part of Alcatraz's body and is telling him what to do most of the time.StuBurns said:

If this was 2007, I would say that would be your computer warning you of the consequences of trying to run Crysis 1 on it. Maximum explosion, incoming.
But now, even consoles can run it. Supposedly. So hum yeah, don't know hat's up with that.
Edit: Wouldn't the steam key work with EADM? I know you can't put retail keys on anything other than the EADM, but maybe it's worth trying a Steam key on the DM. Seems to me like it could work.
