Hey guys.

In this thread I'm gonna make a list of what, in my humble opinion, should be kept from Crysis/Warhead/Wars and what should be kept from Crysis 2 to make a perfect Crysis 3.

CRYSIS / WARHEAD / WARS

GENERAL
- Unlocked developer console with access to ALL CVARS in Single Player
- Fully skippable cutscenes, all of them (CONFIRMED by Cry-Adam at Crydev)
- Better soundtrack and overall presentation
- All cutscenes are in-engine (except for the cinematic intro)
- Better moddability in general
- MUCH better Storytelling
- Soundtrack quality is more consistent
- Main character speaks (CONFIRMED)

GRAPHICS
- Better graphics quality and polish in general: Assets, textures...

- Boids (CONFIRMED by several sources: Frogs and crocodiles at least)
- Smoother animations, both for the player and the environment/vegetation
- Larger levels


GAMEPLAY

I agree on everything except for the ledgegrab. As we both know, all it did was make us jump lower and having to enter in an obnoxius animation to reach the same heights as the first game.

So, remove ledgegrab, put back the original jumping height.

Just from skimming, and from your prev posts, I know I'll agree with your list.

I've been away from C3 news for a while, when was tighter hipfire for MP confirmed??? Is it in a gameplay video somewhere. Not doubting you, but would be interested in seeing it myself. Hoping I can combine the point fire and speed modules in a MP class with a laser on my gun, that'd be nice. But they prob in the same slot

Double post for some reason

Can we do prone only in SP? In MP it makes people tend towards camping, which is generally not cool.

I still don't understand, how you can think the C1 soundtrack is better than the C2 soundtrack! C2 has a far better one

More player health
Separate suit modes?

My mind just can´t process how sh*t goes down the toilet >>>> island and fighting themes.

Except for soundtracks 18 and 19 there is none that doesn´t either try to make you feel depressed or that you with your "super nanosuit" are in the looser end of the fight.

At least for me, an entire game of soundtracks that follow the mood of the moment and do NOT try to make me want to kill myself instead of keep fighting are much better.

What?
IMO, both games have great soundtracks, but C2 just sounds a little more epic.
