That one took me a while too. There are two small rectangular holes in the wall at the end that look like they're blocked with a forcefield. I went through the left, but I guess you can do both.

Nope, it's retarded. One would think a future craft like that would be....decent....but I guess this is not a flight sim...
compared to flying say, MS Flight Sim X.....this flight model blows goat nads.

What is it with the gun that Prophet drops when his suit is damaged and you meet him again ? Are you supposed to pick it up ? It sits there and I was not sure what to do. (I am now past it,half way through the escort mission in the plane/copter,flying through the valley) Was just curious is all...
When in the VTOL (where I am now),I feel like I am swimming in molasses.

So I got out of the alien zero gravity and was welcomed with squares. I think this is some type of graphic glitch? Snow shouldn't look like that in the distance.
note: this is staring off that really tall cliff out into the sky, the squares just fall down.

I'm having a great experience with Crysis so far. Though I haven't beaten it yet, I watched my brother finish it on Delta. The only performance problem I have is some awful jumpiness from time to time. It's primarily due to the lack of RAM I have (I'm on 64-bit Vista). Settings right now are: 1280x720 res, and everything on high. I haven't monitored the framerates but its still extremely playable, only with a few places where it actually becomes an annoying problem for me.
The hectic situations are just awesome. I love seeing the big flying aliens move across the sky shooting waves of icicles, while seeing more come in from the distance.
I judged my opinion by how enjoyable the experience of the content is to me, while taking into account the fact that its still far too advanced to enjoy at maximum. After playing the demo for a while, I expected you to be on a bright tropical beach/jungle killing Koreans all day with some aliens thrown in the mix. I was quite pleasantly surprised to see different types of scenery within the island, like forested and marshy areas.

I am so in love with this game I don't know what to do. I have found that it runs better in DX9 on Vista 64bit and runs better in 64 on the other hand my xp 32 bit install runs the best. This game is so amazing I don't know what to do. I hope the patches that come can give better performace, I have everything on medium to high and it is giving me good results. I do have to drop the shadows to low so I can have AA at 2x. It pains me to have to drop anything but for the first time shadows do make a difference to me in a game.
Now on to why I am in love with it. I haven't beaten it yet but wow this has been an experience! I never play with the keyboard and mouse and now I don't think I can ever play a FPS with a controller again. Also this was the first time I took a KB&M online and it ruled. I had a blast, getting owned and giving some back to other people once I got better. This game is by far my favorite of all time taking the crown away from bioshock.
Here are some of my screens so far.

Can you use a joystick with the game, or are we stuck with mouse and keyboard for flying?

Some screens. Might have spoilers.
These almost look fake, like concept art. I remember we had a big argument on one of the official screenshots being concept art even though it wasn't, and your screenshots only further prove that. That is some incredible stuff.

If I were you I would backup the whole Crysis folder in My Games
Well I am getting just playable frames with sli'd 8800gts's! This patch needs to come quick.

yeh the carrier was fucking brutal, i think sli stopped working it was so bad. I lowered things to 1024 x764 and used video card scaling and it still sucked, frame rates went to a crawl
The game is broken as far as i am concerned. I loved it but then i go back to COD 4 and i cry at the thought of how nice far cry oops , crysis would be if it would perform in a consistant manner
I haven't made it to that part since my wife made me come out of town for the holidays. It is frustrating to see the game not be consistent. I hope the come though with better performance in the patch. I am thinking I am going to jump and go to Intel with a Q6600 but seeing you guys having issues makes me not want to rush.

Whew, just finished on Delta. Had a couple of bugs pop up on the carrier level
*Possible Spoilers*
When on the carrier deck for the second time (fighting, that is) when the exoskeleton comes on-board, I was running torwards the rear of the ship (away from the exoskeleton) and I came up to a blown up VTOL with various ammo on the ground around it, and I clipped through the deck, through the ship and into the water and died. Re-load last checkpoint, same thing. Re-load checkpoint, clip through the deck, land in the room that the marines were in with the jet, and try to make my way back up, and theres a filing cabinet blocking the way. So I run back to where the marines were up on the raised platform with the ammo, and the exoskeleton grabbed me through the floor and threw me back on deck. Which I stayed on this time.
Quick save, run to the same spot in the rear of the ship, and same thing happens. Ok so I won't go back there. I kill the exoskeleton, and my objective changes to escape on the VTOL, run to ammo crates near side of ship, binoculars, see VTOL hovering a ways away. I run over to side of ship, VTOL still hovering. It never comes. Reload checkpoint. Same issue. Re-loaded checkpoint before I finished killing exoskeleton, problem gone, VTOL comes as scripted.
But besides those I thought the game was awesome. I had no problem with the VTOL controls (some disliked them earlier in the thread) and enjoyed that level. I haven't had many games that made me not want to stop playing in a long time.
I ran the game on my system below at 1680x1050 with everything on low, except textures, physics, and sound on high. With FRAPS showing an average of about 25 fps, which is very playable for me. Although on the carrier level, on deck i dropped down to a slideshow whenever I had all that damn fire on my screen.
Great game, will highly recommend to anyone who games.

I must be the only person in existence that thinks the color pallet is horrendous. None of the colors look "right". Not like F.E.A.R. or even the Id games or HL series. Skin tones in particular are far off anything remotely natural. The jungle doesn't look lush at all. I tweaked and tweaked and tweaked until I finally came up with something passable. Still not what I'd expect from all the hoopla. Anybody else noticed this? Even the screenshots on the prior pages show what I mean.
When you start a SP mission for the first time notice that the colors in that movie are FAR more lush and intense than actual game rendering. It really detracts from an otherwise stellar game.
Now gameplay and storyline is another thing altogether.

^^I ran the game at low res and high settings to see what it looked like, and I agree, it was very washed out looking, but good none the less.
Playing with all settings on low, all the colors were "plush" as there were no shadowing/lighting hardly lol.

That pretty much described my carrier boss experience. Except I also had that four legged beast walking 200 ft in the air a couple times. I also had rockets fly right through it, I couldn't hurt it.
Damn buggy game at the end.

When I was trying to blast the mother ship, and those sets of three creatures were being released, it was pure hell trying to fight them off and lock onto the mama ship with the TAC due to a partial slideshow occuring.
Frame rates were in the teens, while my rig will run 28-40fps everywhere else in the game, this was surprisingly brutal to the rig.

For me I don't have any issues with the colors. They look spot on for me on my monitor and with the screen shoots on my laptop and my mother in laws 42" 1080p monitor also :d. Not saying you aren't but the colors are the least of my concerns. LOL!

I just got crysis for 21 bucks and it was hella not worth it, the game is no good, cod4 is wayy better. Idk just something about it is not exciting, the multiplayer sucks and the single player was not exciting and juicy enough. need to sell and buy a ps3 game or gears of war!

Are you playing DX10 with all settings on VERY HIGH? Not that I did, but if you can, the color pallet changes dramatically - MUCH more realistic. Too bad we can't really play it that way yet.
When I waisted 300 bullets of my gun on single fire taking out guys on a SINGLE mg emplacement.... After I ran to it to see how many dead bodies were there, well, ther were at least 50, all in the same place, all died the same way, all looking the same, stupid ass game.
Colors do look fudged up IMO. With better performance, I may overlook the AI problems that I am encountering left and right. But shitty performance + crappy AI = no play.

I love the single player game, so many ways to jack up the KPA. I have started playing back through and killing EVERY enemy on every level if possible (some respawn indefinitely, hostage level I think).
I played through on hard, would like to try Delta, but I hate not having the reflex site. After all, this is a futuristic game, and having to use iron sights on an advanced combat gun is simply....not realistic.
I wonder if I could edit some cfg files to make it Delta skill and still have the reflex sights, or is there actually any skill difference in the AI between Delta and Hard mode?

I like not having the refrlex sites, makes it fun, makes AI dumber too.

Being able to simply slap a different sight on a gun in the field is not realistic. Even if there where sights that went right on any gun
it wouldnt be very accurate.What are you talking about? I played on delta and reflex sites are everywhere.I love the single player game, so many ways to jack up the KPA.

Where did you do that? Even when I snipe with a silenced gun the AI would start to band together to and start searching for me.
