How Active Is the Online Servers?

Vasir · 01-26-2011, 09:52 AM

Hey, so I bought Crysis back when it was on sale, and I'm just wondering, how active are the online servers? I played the campiagn at my friends house a while ago, so I know the campiagn is fun, but are the servers still active?
Thanks.

They aren't jam-packed, but there are a few servers on there. Enough to make it fun, but there isn't a whole lot of choice there.

The expansion pack, Warhead, comes with Crysis Wars which is much more full. You can buy that off of Amazon very cheap if you want to play MP badly for Crysis.

I bought all three crysis games actually when it was on sale, it was like $5 per game. Is the online gameplay identical, or different from Crysis?
Thanks

It's the same gameplay I think, just with more maps, weapons, game modes, and other stuff. Since you already have Warhead, I highly suggest just installing Wars and playing that rather than the standard Crysis MP.

Thanks.
As for campiagn, do you have a preference between warhead and original?

I like them both a lot, but Warhead is a bit more linear. At least towards the end. As for the first one, I haven't gotten past the end of Relic because of some dumb glitch I can't fix

But I think that the first had a bit more freedom and was more sandbox like.

Check out Warhead for sure if you have it though, it's great. The graphics are a bit more optimized, so if you had trouble running good settings before you'll be given an extra 5fps or so.
