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.
