We’ve seen one of the most advanced gaming engines today evolve since farcry which was developed initially by Crytek based on the Cry Engine, We then witnessed CryEngine2 and the massive impact on the PC Gaming industry it has made.
With many game developers trying to keep up with its technology.
Today we witness Cry Engine 3.
The newest edition of the Cry Engine (game engine) from Crytek, its said to deliver not only the best graphics on the market today, but now includes full support for Dx9, Dx10 and XBOX360 and Ps3.. for you console owners!
Crytek are selling licenses to other game developers as we speak, so we hope to see many more games in the future based off this beautiful engine.
Im sure the 3rd addition to the crysis series will be in CryEngine 3, we will have to see! time for an upgrade?! i hope so.
Crysis War’s is the multiplayer version of Crysis, and Crysis Warhead. This version is said to be a whole new game within itself (stand alone in-fact)Download the Crysis wars trailer below.
First of all Crysis Wars will be shipped as part of Crysis: Warhead, there are many new features in Crysis War’s, see the following:-
Team Instant Action – Crysis Wars has added a new multplayer mode since Crysis’s average multiplayer, this is called team instant action (TIA for short).

Today i noticed that crysiseu.com one of the many big crysis community sites had created a section in their forums for far cry 2 and also advertising talk about crysis 2!?!.. already!
I wonder if this is because people(crysis fans) are bored of crysis already? So the communities will have to keep alive by introducing sub categories in their websites, fighting for survival.

We have had many hits from people just searching how to open crysis console just requesting how to open console and type in a few commands might come naturally to some people but if you don’t know how or you have never done it, you need to be shown.
To open crysis console you press the the button to the left of ’1′, below ‘Esc’, just above ‘tab’ on most standard keyboards, Ive included a keyboard picture which points out the correct button, this button is common for console in most games,
type normally the command you want to use.

The intro movies, the clips before crysis starts can be quite annoying to watch each time you play and load the game. Ive created a simple script that will allow you to remove and restore the crysis movies, for when you want to see them and don’t want to. The crysis intro movie script will allow you to remove crysis intro movies with a simple dialog box yes or no.
Download the script below.
Yesterday i was playing crysis and trying out some of the console commands and I’ve found some useful commands such as changing the crosshair in game, and low gravity etc. Just to play and for fun really.
Okay , So first i was looking about the internet for a list of crysis commands to try out, i found a very nice command list! If you want to download it you can below. Sorry i forgot the site where i found it, so i can’t give out credit, but it was in Google not to far from the first page for ‘crysis commands‘ so it shouldn’t be hard to find.
I saw the command “hud_crosshair” (0-8) and thought I would give it a go, so while in game i opened up console and typed in “hud_crosshair 9″ and i got a different crosshair from the ones you can normally select in the options menu, after that i tried a few numbers 8+ and found you can set your crosshair to 13 different ones not just the standard 1 to 8 you get in options.
So if you want to change your crosshair whilst playing in crysis do the following,
Enter a game ( multiplayer or single player)
Open the crysis console
type in “con_restricted 0″
then type “hud_crosshair 9″ or the number of the crosshair you want
Here’s a small image of the full 13 crysis crosshairs and their code’s 8 = no crosshair
Gravity
Changing crysis gravity using the p_gravity_z command.
In Crysis/Game/Config/ if you create a file called autoexec.cfg
add the lines:
con_restricted 0
p_gravity_z -5
Then load up the sandbox editor and enter to play a map.
The default is ‘-9.8′ so ‘-5′ should give you a feel of lower gravity.
Server Fun and Commands
So far I’ve not been able to get a server with low gravity(updated: How to play on a crysis modded server , low gravity etc), but there are many other commands for server like increase in the nano speed which is pretty fun, and also suit energy regeneration time can be changed.
A few commands that you might want to put in your server autoexec.cfg or server.cfg are:
“g_suitSpeedMultMultiplayer 5″ this changes the nano speed on the multiplayer server
“g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeMultiplayer 40″ faster recharge of the nano / energy suit.
“g_meleeWhileSprinting 1″ either 1 or 0 to melee while at full nano speed.
“hud_mpNamesDuration 8″ how long you want to display the multiplayer names for default is 2
Theres tons more just check out the crysis commands list have a look at what might make the game a bit more fun, or just to adjust it!
