Vista - Crysis Warhead. :)

OK. I've finally got Crysis Warhead. it came out the 16th. and was available yesterday. but my gamestop was closed cuz AC broke. BS I know.

so, I've finally got Crysis Warhead. the cover looks pretty cool. and the game looks pretty amazing actually. I can't wait to see how well it runs on my system.

I'm installing right now. and I'll post back shortly after I play for a while today.. Mkay.

Cheers!

so how's the game?

Good. I like it. Played for a solid 4 hours today. It's really cool. Looks amazing. slightly different than the first. but looks a little better personally. it's crazy how good it looks. and it plays better than the first. and looks better.

but to be honest. my FPS aren't all that much better. but it does play better. It's smoother, thats for sure. I had everything set to Enthusiasts though. and I'm on a 22" LCD. and I was using 2xAA also. I got around 50-60fps and never, never went under 38-40. ever.

The shooting is a little different. like the feel to it. but I very very quicky got used to it. and started Shootin them Koreans.

One of the biggest improvements of the game I must say. is the Killing. The first game. you could unload an ENTIRE clip of a assault Rifle into someone's chest and they'd bounce around and shoot back. now they Die much easier, and more realistically. you hit them in the head. they die. the other one they wouldn't. it took some time to kill them. so now it's very realistic and much funner to shoot to kill, and run along.

One thing I don't like so far. is the speed. I feel like the guy actually is walking slower in this one than the original. but maybe I'm just crazy. maybe I'll change a setting in the game files so I walk faster. that would be easy enough.

Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Thanks for the info xguntherc have a beer on me

Just read the review in PC Gamer too, though they didn't mention much about the performance apart from don't expect to be able to run it at like 1600x1200 and stuff as it will still play crap, especially in the snow and ice levels.

Looking forward to my upgrade next month then and seeing how it plays, hopefully it's SLI friendly unlike the first.

Thanks for the insight in to the game

Also read that at one point, a team mate plants C4, but it doesn't actually show the C4, he just looks like he's rubbing the rock. If that's the case, bit of a disappointment they skipped a corner with that

Amazing xguntherc :)

So is it better than the first version? and how about the graphics? better , less or same ? ^^

thanks for the info, i also play crysis..now i'll think i get 1 of 'warhead' too..

ive played crysis up until the first helicopter you need to destroy, & i love it. Definatly want to get warhead when i finish it.

Wait it's out already?!? I'm gonna have to go buy my copy of Ultimate x64 and install the 8GB of RAM I was planning on soon...

I just got it too. Probably half way through the game. It runs pretty good at 1280x800 at HIGHEST settings (without AA). I have a 22inch and at 1680x1050 I can hardly run HIGH. Even with SLi turned on. Doesn't look too bad at 1280x800 I guess.

I have a question. At first installation, I ran the game and they said some MFC690.dll file was missing or something, but it ran anyway. After that I went to search for that file online. Downloaded and placed it in my system. Ran the game after that and it said something similar, some ordinal thing not being able to follow up or some crap like that. But the game still runs. Annoying error message though. Anyone know how to fix that problem?

The issue presents itself in this way: when using the menus WITHIN an online match, I find I have to direct my cursor at least an inch to the right of the button I wish to select... sometimes further. This problem is not present in any of the Main Menu or Settings screens. Only all the IN-GAME menus; like the Team Selection screen, and all the weapons and attachments menus. Anyone got that bug too? Would be good if you could help. It's just as annoying. Other than that the game is great!
