Crysis is so hard... on normal!?

Why is crysis so hard on normal difficulty? I 'm trying to follow an objective and there's so many enemies and mine fields surrounding this thing :O totally was not expecting this from the game. I'm right at the beggining. Even the invisibility cloak doesn't hide me from enemies!?

You need to practice switching suit modes on short notice. Losing health? Maximum Speed. Attempting to tank a bunch of enemies? Maximum Armor. Invisibility won't help if you turn invisible in front of them. Take cover from the enemies, THEN switch to Cloak mode, and you should be fine.

with cloak you can move from cover to cover, getting closer to the enemy or running away from them. for the beginners, if you find an area full of enemies, use speed to run away from them, and when you find a cover in a distance, use cloak. then go from there, creeping in to handle them separately.

go for the head shots, it'll kill those koreans very quickly.

yeah, but this game particularly important; before getting shotgun, for a beginner, it'll take too many bullets - time- to pull down a korean with body shots.

That's strange, I found the game very easy even on Delta difficulty. Maybe it's because I'm used to playing stealthly.

Probably need more patients - only started playing today. Just a little frustrated that I have to keep reloading from the last checkpoint. When you save manually does the game load ffrom exactly the same place?polarwrath11

this is a true PC game, save anytime and anywhere. so just save and reload away.

Ok - is it totally normal to take 10 minutes infiltrating one base then? Also does crysis like a high clock speed on the CPU - I have a 2.5GHz dual core? What will performance be like if I overclock to 3.6GHz?polarwrath11

Cloak is your friend. If enemies know where you are when you're cloaked, you're not doing it right.

- Make sure nobody can see you before you cloak. Then go into cloak mode, move towards cover before your power runs out and switch out of cloak mode. Wait until the power recharges, cloak again, and move towards next area of cover. Repeat until you're close enough to kill.

- When going in for the kill, approach an enemy carefully, stop and aim for the head. Then decloack, fire, and then cloak again immediately and find somewhere to hide to recharge your suit's power. By the time anyone realises someone's been killed, you'll have disappeared and be getting ready for your next move.

- Do not open fire when you're cloaked. Always switch to armour mode first. This will keep any power you have left in your suit. Then when you kill someone, you still have power in your suit to go back into cloak mode. Firing while cloaked will reduce your power to zero, leaving you with no armour and no way of recloaking.

- Hide in buildings or in the trees and take the time to analyze your surroundings. Get your binoculars out and scan the area for enemies. This will tag them and mark them on your map, so you can track where they are.

Trust me, once you work out how to use the nanosuit, everything just falls into place and it'll get much easier. Without the suit, you don't stand a chance.

Its definitely not a run of the mill shooter. If you play it like a console FPS, you will get destroyed easily. Take it slow, and plan your attacks.

I thought crysis was easy...i guess you just need to figure out how to utilize your nano suit in a more efficient way.After you have done that beating it on delta is not particulary hard.

I absolutely love this game, it feels like Deus Ex without the skill progression. I know I'm gonna get flamed for saying that, but I haven't this much freedom in an FPS since Deus Ex. I'm actually itching to try out Far Cry 1 and 2.

yeah thats your problem going slow and steady full stealth with silencers is pretty easy. playing a more action oriented combat role on delat is another story.johnny27

But... but.. my precious stealth... the Thief fanboy in my heart says that I cannot play any game like Rambo if the game offers stealth option. :(

I, too, suffer from this affliction. :cry:

My chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear ...and ruthless efficiency...

I'll check out the first one then. I can't get the ad-supported version because I'm not in the USA. =/

U should hav started in easy mode anyway once u get used to the switching of suit and controlling weapons i bet u can finish the game in delta mode easily..:P

I played first time through on the second hardest and thought it wasn't that much of a challenge.

Yes, it should take you 10 minutes minimum.

This isnt Quake...you dont run in guns blazing.

Also, the suit doesnt make you a superhuman. It just provides you with tools that need to be used accordingly.

Crysis is by far one of the most strategic non-squad based shooters out there. Use your binoculars, scout entry and exit routes, and take your time.

Stalk your prey in cloak, go prone in bushes to let it recharge, then stalk some more. Use your silencer. Do hit and run strikes in speed mode; run up, blast one guy of a five man patrol, run away, cloak, switch position, strike again.

Eventually you will find some tactic that fits your style.

Also search, at least in that part, for the path without mines...I mean use your common sense, and dontrun thru the minefield... :D

Having mostly played console fps I initally found Crysis hard too. Just practice a bit and it'll become much easier TC :)

Yes, I did find the game quite easy on Delta difficulty, I completed Crysis in 9 hours, I was very dissapointed! :( I was looking for a challenge and a longer campaign. But the story is very well made and interesting!

yes its hard and unfair.... weapons are very innacurate even in arma 2 are very accurate, there are few good weapons in the game, all suit functions, speed, armor ,cloak stregth are weak and innefactive, the korean soldiers move and react as reallistic as unreal tournament bots on godlike and the enemies that use nanosuits are almost invicible even after you unload rockets and greandes on them....

Very frustrtating unfair and hard game, never liked it and i always dont understand people in this forum who say its too easy, honestly i think stalker and far cry are far easier games...

Why is crysis so hard on normal difficulty? I 'm trying to follow an objective and there's so many enemies and mine fields surrounding this thing :O totally was not expecting this from the game. I'm right at the beggining. Even the invisibility cloak doesn't hide me from enemies!?

polarwrath11

I breezed through Crysis on Delta. You want a hard game try Far Cry on the hardest setting. That was a hard game. Crytek cranked down the diffulty for Crysis.

There are mods that make delta difficulty much harder.

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"]Here you go, change these settings under the Config folder of crysis to the diff_easy,normal,hard or bauer/delta what ever difficulty your playing. And you will have almost unlimited suit power for strengh&speed, staying clocked for like 3 minutes, 3x the health and armor. Its not god mode,makes it more fun and you can still die but takes alot more to do it. -- Player Health/Energy/Suit g_suitCloakEnergyDrainAdjuster = 0 g_suitRecoilEnergyCost = 0 g_suitSpeedEnergyConsumption = 0 g_suitSpeedMult = 1.95 g_suitArmorHealthValue = 5000.0 g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRegenTime = 0 g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRegenTimeMoving = .1 g_playerSuitHealthRegenTime = 0 g_playerSuitHealthRegenTimeMoving = .1 g_playerSuitHealthRegenDelay = .01 g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeArmor = 0 g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeArmorMoving = .1 g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTime = 0 g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeDelay = .1 g_playerHealthValue = 1500.0dakan45

Really? i tried changing those and the enemy nanosuit soldiers also took more damage just like my player, what exactly do i change to being able to survive more hits ?
