They answered questions that noone asked before.

Who created the Nanosuit? Who cares? I take things like this as granted...in Crysis 1 its a military piece of tech..
just state of the art military equipment... i was cool with that...and no need to mystify that part of the story.
I was even a bit disappointed that its creation has such a bad (in my opinion) storyline. I would liked it better being created by humans and are equal to the alientech in their own right.

The nature of the aliens:
All it answers is: they adept to their surrounding.... and that was the biggest letdown:
They clearly had the knowledge and power to terraform and adept the nature to their perception.
That was so damn cool and made them so superior...they could freeze everything without much effort.
How "cool" would it have been to freeze down new York and fight on the frozen Sea between liberty island.
The whole freezing and its missing in crysis 2 disappointed me big time...it was a very cool feature in Crysis 1.

The story is even more confusing because it degrades the ling shan incident to a side story not worth mentioning a lot.

Agree freezing really missing in crysis 2,I won it back!!!

The whole Crysis series is about the Nanosuit. It'd be kinda sad if it was just a military weapon like any gun. Sure, no one ever asked that but, hell, wouldn't be it boring if they didn't change anything? I mean, yeah, the nanosuit is a military gadget... That's all?

I miss old aliens and the fact that they freeze stuff too, but now we know more about them and there are more kind of aliens other than the blue ones. Hell they didn't even have a name before.

And I understand why the incidents in Lingshan weren't mentioned a lot, after all what happened that should be mentioned other than there were aliens and Prophet was there?

I sure miss stuff from Crysis 1 but I still think that Crysis 2 had a better plot.

*sigh* no we don't. We don't deserve anything. If Crytek wants the maximum amount of people to buy their game however, they will oblige.



LOLwut? No it wasn't.
In the original Crysis, the nanosuit is just a tool. It was something which kept you alive and allowed you to take on the unbeatable odds, but it didn't play any major part in the story whatsoever. The story was entirely about finding out what the hell the Koreans were doing, and then stopping it when you found out what they'd discovered. It was no different to an FPS game having a gun; it's integral to your survival, but the story doesn't rely on it.

In Crysis 1, you could conceivably remove the nanosuit altogether, and only tiny parts of the game's plot would change. You'd have to have been 'lucky' to survive the original fall, you wouldn't fight Koreans in nanosuits, you'd have to avoid the flash-freezing at the excavation site and you'd have to find a different way to control yourself in the alien ship.

Crysis 2 without the nanosuit is nothing.

I don't think you fully get my point.

I'm not saying that the main plot is about the nanosuit. What I'm trying to say is that the nanosuit makes Crysis what it actually is (Crysis without the nanosuit would be pretty much Far Cry with flying aliens), not the aliens or Koreans, so making it more relevant to the plot like they did in Crysis 2 makes sense.

I salute you OP, with all the points that you have made they are valid. I hope all Crysis fans are like you constructive and straight to the point without nagging.

I got your point exactly as you expressed it. If you meant something different to what you said, that's your fault, not mine.


Making it relevant to the plot is what they did in the original; the suit was relevant in the sense it was a piece of advanced military hardware supplied to an elite team of spec ops soldiers. In Crysis 2, what they did was make it the basis of the plot. The two are not the same.

There is no sense in making something which was only a tool into an integral plot element. What I suspect happened, is Crytek made a business decision. Moving into the console market, it makes a lot of sense to focus your game around the most unique identifying feature.

Well to be fair Crysis 2 is just "yet another shooter" but with a nanosuit
