Crysis 2 Teaser Warns of a "Pinger" Attack at E3 2010

New gameplay footage here if you haven't already seen it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwD0Rtn5ke0

I just have no enthusiasm for this series. I am still a PC supporter, but I was a raging PC elitist when Crysis 1 was coming out, and I totally bought into all the hype behind the tech. The single player was pretty but not very special. Frankly, I think I had more fun with Far Cry. I thought there would be more options/variety to everything: guns, gear, different types of nanosuits, weather effects, destructibility (not just the huts), the option to play in third person, drop in drop out coop. I also wanted the multiplayer to be more like Battlefield 2. Crysis is just another average shooter to me, albeit prettier. Crytek is kind of like iD to me. They have the tech but I look to other studios to do something impressive with it.

The first was pretty much my single player GOTY or close to it (Portal, HL2:Ep2, Super Mario Galaxy, and Bioshock were contenders too...didn't much like CoD4's SP...wasn't my cup of tea for single player though it was a great multiplayer game).

I generally loved the fact that I could generally fuck around with the AI take different routes and play in a semi-non-linear manner. I literally got 4 or 5 hours of play out of Crysis's demo...and the full game I still play through occasionally (as far as replayability...its no Farcry 2, but its still good and something that I actually want to go back to).

I'd say that I'm definately looking forward to this...its perhaps one of the games left that I'm most looking forward to (though there are so many good games coming out...this is like 2007 all over again).

Pinger? Does it do a DOS attack your nanosuit?

Oh great. More aliens / robots. :-/

Seriously, imagine if for E3 2003 they showed a trailer of gameplay against the gorilla Trigens. Ugh.

This teaser doesn't entice me at all.

When did not liking crysis become cool? OK, so it's not gameplay footage. The point is to give people an idea of the game's mood, sherlock.

What's with the tech demo comments too? There were many things to be said about crysis, such as the freedom it offered you and honestly I thought the gameplay was great. Being able to choose how you approach any situation with the nano suit was a lot of fun. I also thought the storyline was great. It did a very good job of making things unfold in an intriguing way, like when you ran into that frozen boat. It really drew you in.

Im confused though. Why hasn't anyone accused crytek of "selling out to consoles" because they are developing for them? Am I the only PC gamer who doesn't think that pirating something that supposedly requires a $200 system to run doesn't mean that you can miraculously run it better all of a sudden? Isn't piracy just a myth?

So do you think it will be a ..... or a !!!!! ?

Two things:

1. I'm glad the console guys get to finally play this series. Let's hope the experience isn't gimped for either user (PC or Console).
2. I hope this game is better than the first. I liked the first, but it was essentially a pretty tech demo.

I thought Crytek threw a hissy-fit and said they wouldn't be developing for the PC anymore

50 secs of logos, 2 secs of pre rendered images -_-

Not a pinger. ANYTHING BUT A PINGER!!! /despair

All I get is sound and the preview image for the video
