Crysis was just evolutionary over revolutionary. It was Far Cry with better graphics, but didn't add anything new. I hated the mutants in FarCry, and I hated the aliens in Crysis. They're just a super-tough enemy to fight against because the developer can't program an AI opponent with your same health and ammo that can provide any sort of challenge... weak.
I hate people that say COD4 is the best FPS ever. COD4 takes shooters in entirely the _wrong_ direction. Everything is locked into a linear path: go to A, do this, go to B, do that, go to C, shoot yourself for playing this crap. It is a pretty shooter, but there is no freedom to do anything. I guess Operation Flashpoint just spoiled / woke me up by giving me the freedom to do anything I wanted and any game that just says "you have to do it this way" is just cheap.
In the immortal words of the Flying SPaghetti Monster: Ramen.
Operation Flashpoint 2 Spring of 2008?
F COD 4 and Crysis...
Don't get me wrong, I think Crysis does and is doing what it set out too, and people just get overworked on hype beforehand.
