Crysis Warhead is SO much better than plain Crysis!

Just installed Crysis Warhead. Never finished original Crysis as I found the framerate unbearable, so the gameplay was totally victimised. Therefore, I hated crysis. It's only after playing Warhead at a good framerate that I realise the gameplay is awsome. Rushing people and shotgunning totally didn't work at 20fps, but totally does work at 30+fps lol. Warhead FTW.

I found Warhead more fun becouse it was like Crysis but condensed into an action oriented package. It was a faster paced game and the hero had more personality than the bore from Crysis.

So you're saying warhead is better because your computer cant handle the original?Frenzyd109

IMO:

Crysis Original: Better gameplay (slower and more tactical)

Crysis Warhead: Better graphics and better framerate.

When I am done reviewing this game, I am giving it a 10/10

Bot are great. IMO Crysis is better because has better production values: more levels (11 vs 7), more variety in the environments and better cut scenes, with a more slow placed gameplay -that is not better or worse, but more on my tastes-. This can be maybe because Crysis was made from Crytek Frankfurt, and Warhead by Crytek Budapest.

Still, the good news about Warhead are that the gameplay is more intense: more enemies x scenary, TONS of weapons and ammunition, new ones to use (micro smgs, gl, deployable claymores and AT mines in the campaign- and the alien I.A. is now a lot more aggressive. Recently I started again the campaing and I'm really enjoying the game a lot, uploading vids from all the levels up to the 5th:

But the best thing about Wrhead is the multiplayer, Crysis Wars. They increased the number of official maps from 9 to 23, added the TIA (Team Death Match mode) and added a autodownloader to install on fly any new map you try in the online, so the mp experience is now much more complete -but still low populated-.

Two years after the game was released, and 99% of the computers out there still can't play it.

This is the kind of stupidity from devs that has console gaming kicking the crap out of PC gaming.

My 9800 GT will play it, but there isn't a PC out there that can max it with 8x AA - even now.

Crysis with CCC level 5 looked better and had better framerate than Warhead for me.

I like Crysis better but they're both great.

Oh yeah, Warhead has some really annoying pop in.

99% of the computers can't run Quake 3 maxed. And 2 years after is still the best looking game out there; you can't shield criticism behind system requirements since the hardware is way cheaper and way powerful today than in fall 2007.. My GTX 275 runs it fine at Enthusiast/Very high 1680 x 1050 with average 40 fps. A friend of mine with a GTX 280 SLI rus the game at 60 fps with X4 Edge AA.

Crysis is one of the best FPSs I've ever played. Additionally, Warhead is one of the best expansions to an FPS (probably second to HL2 Episode 2). A lot of developers would've packed it as a sequel and sold it for full price. That gives me a great handle of the standard they're setting for the game, which is a solid reason to look forward to Crysis 2.

That said, yeah the system optimization for Crysis Warhead was much better than it was for the original Crysis. But it's a great expansion to a great game, not "SO much better than 'plain' Crysis!"

warhead has better gameplay and story !
