There's one more good news that will make gamers happier. Electronic Arts and Crytek GmbH announced today that Crysis Warhead, the next installment in the award-winning Crysis franchise, has shipped to retailers in North America and Europe and will hit store shelves and participating digital download services starting September 18, 2008 exclusively for the PC. Crysis Warhead takes place alongside the events of last year's original Crysis, with players taking control of Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes. Crysis Warhead won't require the first Crysis to be installed, it's a standalone game. Electronic Arts will charge $29.99 for it. "The launch of Crysis Warhead marks a significant milestone for the entire Crytek family," said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. "The team at Crytek Hungary has delivered a dynamic and intense single player experience more than worthy of the Crysis franchise, while the multiplayer team in Frankfurt has revisited and extended multiplayer in the Crysis universe with Crysis Wars. They are both great representations of our studio's core values of technical excellence, craftsmanship and quality."

My gf was getting pissed every time I took control of the PC to check steam :pimp:
I keep all remote setting off for security reasons. Plus, it only takes exactly 23 steps to get from work to my home next-door.:D I also just found out my ISP gave me a free upgrade! I went from 1.7Mbps to 2.5Mbps!:eek: I dunno why I'm so excited for this game? Boredom from accounting work I think... Hope to see you all online!:D

never seen this much anticipation for a game release, above all its crysis.

I can tell this is going to be the game of the year, and fulfill all dreams crytek developers had with original crysis .

Alt-tabbed out, Running maxed 1680x1050 in DX9. 2GB is killing my performance, but its playable. DX10 was a HUGE slideshow, so DX9 it is. The graphics are a lot better, and the explosions are amazing. To me, better looking then Jrob's mod.

Wile ESo, any confirmation on the DRM scheme being used. $30 is actually very reasonable, so if it doesn't have some ridiculous DRM scheme ala spore, I'm gonna pick this up.


The rumor is three installs.

Fallout3 pumped more hype than warhead imo, its a contender alright, but imo, it must first attain a multiplatform state for it to be a sure hit. In anycase, cant wait for my copy ^^

They'll never get my money as long as they use a scheme like this. I change computer parts too often to have to deal with it. A lot of times, it's because of untimely hardware death. Even if they gave us a deauth tool, what am I supposed to do, deauth the computer every single time I was getting ready to do some bench runs? They can can use marketing speak and propaganda all they want, it doesn't make this DRM scheme any less ridiculous.

They need to go back to disc based authentication. That was a happy medium to me. Until then, people need to stand up for their rights as a legal purchaser of games, and boycott this stupid DRM scheme. Warhead was available on trackers sans DRM before it even officially released. What exactly are they preventing here? Nothing at all. They are only managing to annoy paying customers. The pirates still get off scott free.
