People have to stop bitching about Crysis and move on, It was way ahaead of it's time and one of the best FPS of all time (read PC gamer for a realistic view) and those who claim otherwise have or had a PC that was not up to the task. Pirates can burn in hell and I hope your PC melts down.
BUY WARHEAD or your next game will be on a console of which games you WILL HAVE to PAY for;)

It's almost like Valve releasing screenshots of Half-Life 2 Episode 3 depicting a Xen level, or of a Halo game depicting a Flood level, or of Rage with a screenshot with the text "YOU NEED A RED KEY TO OPEN THIS DOOR" centered in the game screen, or of a Crytek-developed game depicting an enemy that can deliver an instant one-hit kill (oh wait...).
I'll be fair and listen to the reviews from gamers, but between EA's DRM crusade and Crytek's apparent inability to learn from their past game design mistakes, I'm not holding out much hope.

"Ultra PC claims that even though they sold 1,000 machines, they estimate that due to rampant PC piracy, over a million people have stolen Ultra Optimized PC's and are using them to play pirated copies of Crysis."

If they had XP and an ATi 4850 in there for the same price, I'd probably buy one of those.
