I just got through Semper Fi or Die. So far I'm having fun with it as an arena shooter. Game design is pretty different from Crysis 1 though, I think if you take Crysis 1, Warhead, and Crysis 2 in progression, you ca kind of see the evolution from open playground to tighter arena shooter. I think that's fine, the gameplay and style has changed a bit so it isn't just a re-hash, but the premise of having a power suit is still here. I still favor Crysis 1 and Warhead though, I think.
The 2 complaints I have are:
1) No speed mode. I really miss the short superspeed burst just for getting behind groups, and it's really annoying that you can't sprint at all without power. Game plays slower and a little more methodical since escape.
2) I miss my radial middle mouse menu. I know a lot of people hated it, but the flexibility it gave when you got used to it was fantastic. I feel like my left had has too much crap to take care of and I was pretty accustomed to the mouse flick for power swaps.
Graphics wise, does anyone else see crazy lines of light on their pistol iron sights (the green part)? I guess you can't really tell from this pic, but there are those light blurs but in the opposite direction of the movement so it looks like weird horizontal light halo and not motion blur. Is that the radial blur? I like the motion blur in general, but if I could get rid of that weirdness on the sights it would be nice.
Also, are buildings in the distance this blurry for everyone else? It also flickers between super god damn blurry and just blurry when I look around...is that normal or did I bork something with my autoexec? The flickering is a little distracting. The pic is super blurry version...note that I'm not looking around because foreground is not blurry.
