The GamesEarth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a
frightening discovery on an island in the South China Sea. All contact
with the team is lost when the North Korean Government quickly seals off
the area. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of
Delta Force Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises between
the two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of
the island. The ship generates an immense force sphere that freezes a
vast portion of the island and drastically alters the global weather
system. Now the US and North Korea must join forces to battle the alien
menace. With hope rapidly fading, you must fight epic battles through
tropical jungle, frozen landscapes, and finally into the heart of the
alien ship itself for the ultimate Zero G showdown. Key Features

Take on the fight as the volatile Sergeant
“Psycho” Sykes in a new parallel story taking place during the events of
Crysis. Psycho’s secret mission will take him to the other side
of the island on a ruthless pursuit of a North Korean general hell-bent
on obtaining powerful technology. With the versatile powers of his
Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons & vehicles at
his disposal, Sykes will do whatever it takes to carry out his
top-secret objective. Action on the other side of the island is more
intense, the battles are fierce, and the mission protocol is no longer
“Adapt to Survive”. As Sergeant Sykes, now you must adapt to dominate
the battle. Twin SMG’s blazing, seizing new vehicles, or going stealth,
the action and the victory is on your terms. Key Features

DRM Not Worth It
I
played the first crysis and absolutely loved it. Amazing graphics,
interesting/fresh gameplay, open levels etc. I was then disappointed to
learn that crysis warhead had a limit on how many times you could
install on a different machine. Since I am constantly upgrading my
computer this would mean that after changing out 5 components I would
need to buy a new game. I then decided not to purchase the game.
When
I found out crysis maximum edition was releasing I checked the forums
and discovered that EA had added a workaround to the authorization
allowing me unlimited installs as long as I used the tool correctly. I
hurried out and purchased the game as it gave me a backup version of
crysis and in addition crysis wars. I began playing through warhead and
was just as happy as I was with the original crysis title. Probably the
best game I have played this year. However, I discovered that some
programs of mine were not working (for example, daemon tools) and other
games were crashing frequently. I went on the interwebz and found that
this was probably caused by the securom 7 that installs with crysis
warhead. This securom installed without my knowledge, is not able to be
uninstalled without advanced knowledge of your operating system or with a
3rd party uninstaller that was rather difficult to locate (the one
provided by the securom company does not work well) Needless to say I
did not want malware on my PC so I ran the uninstaller and rid myself of
it. This rendered warhead, which I was only halfway through, unplayable
but imo it was worth it. I do not need securom deciding what my
computer can and can't do.
I learned my lesson, from now on I
will check and see what kind of drm a game has before purchasing. If it
uses anything as intrusive as securom 7 I will not even give it
consideration, its not worth the hassle and I refuse to give money to a
company for a game which knowingly puts malware on my computer when
hackers who did not pay for the game get to play malware free. Save
yourself a headache and skip this game. Tell EA with your dollar vote
that excessive and intrusive drm is not the answer for piracy.
Another Lost Sale Due
to DRM
I
was looking forward to purchasing this game, as I was looking forward
to purchase Mirror's Edge. However, once I learned that EA had included
SecuRom (a form of DRM); I knew that EA had yet again lost me as a
customer.
Let me make it clear that I believe EA has the right to
protect their software - as long as the software is installed on my
computer. The fact that SecuRom actually encourages piracy is another
issue. The issue for me is the fact that uninstalling the game does not
remove SecuRom. In fact, SecuRom is designed to prevent the average
person from removing it from his or her computer short of reformatting
the hard drive. The removal tool that that is available from the company
that created SecuRom does not remove the program.
The reason it
is so hard to remove is the fact that the software embeds null
characters into the Windows registry listing for the SecurRom program.
RegEdit simply will not remove a listing from the registry that has null
characters embedded in it. There is software (freeware) available that
will remove these types of entries, but you need to extensively research
the web to find it. To say the SecuRom software is rude is to greatly
understate the issue.
If the purpose of the SecuRom software is
to prevent the piracy of the software, then why did the manufacturer of
the software make it so hard to remove after the game software has been
removed? What information does it provide and who does it provide it to?
Computer security is so important that installing a game with SecuRom
is simply too much of a risk
Rating based on DRM - I won't buy it period
With
Original Crysis going on 3 years old, I have upgraded my system 3 times
since the original install. If DRM were in the original Crysis, I would
likely not be able to install it on my next generation upgrade, which
will happen because of the new MB's with USB 3.0, addional PCI16 slots,
and additional SATA I connectors of 6+ on the newer MoBo's. Graphics
card is always upgraded, and when each new Mobo, I always upgrade my
processor. So it will look like a totally new system, and that is the
problem. Great Game, but I won't buy anything with DRM, period. It is
impacting sales.
Of course I could get a cracked version free, but I
believe piracy can lead to the end of innovation and possibly products
for the PC despire that I am honest. DRM inhibits sales to honest
people, not pirates. When will the dolts at EA get it. Likely never, so
sadly I suspect that means no purchases from EA. It is killing me
because EA has been around since the Atari 800 and they have always made
awesome games. No Crysis Warhead either... DRM.. :(
