Starting on Monday, October 6th, gamers can take advantage of this great offer by registering online at www.mycrysis.com and by downloading Crysis Wars. After registration, players will receive a unique key generated on the site that will be saved to their profile, allowing them to play on all online multiplayer servers from October 10th at 11:00 AM PT to October 12th at 11:59 PM. And in order to give everyone enough time to practice, players will be able to play Crysis Wars on LAN with their friends the entire week before “Weekend of Wars” begins.

“We have been extremely pleased with the reception we have received from gamers and press for Crysis Warhead,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO and President of Crytek. “Crysis Wars is definitely a big reason for this success and something we are dedicated to, not only as a part of future Crysis titles, but in terms of releasing new modes and continued support for our growing community.”

Crysis Wars includes:

Three diverse multiplayer modes including InstantAction, TeamInstantAction and PowerStruggle
21 maps ranging from large battlefields to smaller, more intimate battlegrounds with a diverse array of settings ranging from beaches to graveyards

amazing game play its fun. defently going to buy. only $29.99 for so much action and great looks 2...

Is the best looking game I own now..but I have it installed on a "Beast" of a machine, and I am running it cranked up..It is phenomenal..especially the water effects..

But for competitive gameplay, I turn it down to get my FPS up out of the cellar..

Just wait for OE2 to come and throw this game on the forefront of Tactical games. I have so much faith in this game attracting quite a huge bunch of TG players.

Even with a horrible PC this game looks amazing. You only really need a half a grand rig to play this game(monitor not included), even if it is at the lowest settings.

**birdie_in_Texas** · 10-20-2008, 11:46 AM

I am waiting for the Mechwarrior Mod release as well!

Was playing the single player this weekend while the kids were here, GOT IT CRANKED UP TO THE HIGHEST SETTINGS NOW, and dont know if you guys know it or not, BUT THERE ARE SHARKS IN THE WATER!!!! AND YES, THEY WILL EAT YOU!!!!!

My kids loved it. They laughed for 20 minutes about me getting eaten by a shark. Hey please, if anyone is going to try and get on the crysis server , pm me or something, would like to see if it can be played in a tactical manner.
