'Alien attack' image

Here is a game that is praised for having the best graphics in the history of gaming, and yet the screen shot for the plot is of a black void with a glowing green thing in the middle. What happened to the lucious forests, with the dust gently settling on the ground? What happened to the cystal clear waters with the light bouncing of the coral reefs? --Simpsons fan 66 04:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

In that image the main character is sky diving out of an airplane, so you are in the middle of the air in the middle of the night. Theres not much to see until you get to the ground. The purpose of the image is to show the alien creature that disrupts the main characters jump, causing him to lose his position with the rest of the team and landing a good distance from the others.

I know what the image is, I'm just saying we could have a better screenshot that shows off this game's graphics to their best potential. --Simpsons fan 66 10:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

The graphics aren't as good as they were hyped to be; there were complaints that the pre-release screen shots had much, much better graphics that the final game. I have to agree. 213.78.183.91 (talk) 20:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Error?

The system requirements section lists the minimum requirements as 2.8GHz for XP or 3.2GHz for Vista. But the recommended sys reqs show 2.2GHz. Is there a reason the recommended is lower than the minimum? Or is this an error?

recommended is a 2.2ghz DUAL core processor, min is for SINGLE core processors.

Actually, the 2.8/3.2 GHz requirement is for a P4 machine. The requirements are 2.0/2.2GHz for Core based machines. Their website gives separate requirements for AMD CPUs. I'm going to update this section with the full info from the official website. -Athaler (talk) 20:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Hacker problems

As of this posting, Crysis is completely overrun with hackers in the online multiplayer. The development team acknowledged it in their announcement of adding punkbuster, and the chat channels are full of players complaining about the issue. I think that justifies being added to the multiplayer section of the article, unless anyone has any objections....? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.61.223 (talk) 06:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Only if you can find reliable, third-party sources to back up such a claim. Otherwise, it's original research. Xihr (talk) 01:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Are you completely insane? Crysis is probably the most hacked game on the planet. Reliable, third-party sources? You're nuts

Input methods

Should we list the Xbox 360 Controller & the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows even though there is absolutely nothing different about them? I wouldn't want someone to read this and think they have to get the one sold specifically for Windows and pay more than they should have to. If they have Vista it will recognize the controller automatically but if they have XP or lower they would need to download drivers for free from Microsoft's website. --The Virginian (talk) 12:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Crysis for Xbox 360?

My freind (he may be lying) says that Crysis could be comming Xbox 360, I mean if tiberium is coming to Xbox 360 and its based on the CryENGING2 than, technically crysis could come to Xbox 360, but untill its confirmed ignore my comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gears, Gears, Gears (talk • contribs) 02:51, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

tiberium uses unreal 3, the rumors that it was using ce2 are false. that being said, its POSSIBLE in the same sense that anything is possible, however the devs as well as the publisher has said many times that there is no development on a console version at this time. anyway, to be put on the page it needs to be CONFIRMED first, not speculation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.14.153 (talk) 07:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry bro, there aren't a lot of websites that aren't blocked from our filter here in Iraq, so I asked where I could. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a whack. 208.79.15.2 (talk) 13:32, 24 February 2008 (UTC) (same guy, different computer)

1-1.5 GB

What does 1-1.5 GB in the requirement stand for? Is it RAM? --Octra Bond (talk) 06:27, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

It's RAM. Added the word in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gamer007 (talk • contribs) 07:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
