Then don't buy COD4 and WaW either.

And those are full priced, so...

More action focused storyline + revamped multiplayer is definitely worth $30 imo.

I knew the single player campaign was short when I picked up Warhead, and I think it was money well spent. Each to their own though.

It was no shorter than many other recent shooters. You should also take into consideration that it didn't sell at full price.

I tried some crazy tactics in Warhead so it took me almost as long to finish as the original

Yes it's short. But its action packed gameplay makes it very enjoyable on replays. The second time through I took a different approach to just about everything and was just as enjoyable as the first time. This was one of my favorite games of 08. I definitely was satisfied with the purchase.

It is not an expansion, it was a stand-alone game. Technically it is a full game.

Just cause it's a standalone installation doesnt make it a full game...the developers said it was an expansion to Crysis. Now, why does everyone care about length all the time? I'll take short and fun over long and boring any day...

If I were into that kind of multiplayer I suppose it would have been worth the purchase. Buts its just so.....early 2000 deathmatch...there is no point in playing. Its like 2fort in tf2 minus interesting anything.

I believe we are talking about short and fun being inferior to long and fun. Keep up now.

It's 3/5 the price for 5/8 the campaign length and but has a superior campaign and multiplayer. It's not really a rip-off if you ask me.

I find it fun. The nano-suit really lets you change things up. You can go on a rampage or take on the game all stealthy. I like playing through the game different ways.

It's funny 'cause i find it longer than i initially expected. For about half the price of a full game and longer than half of the original game, i think it's quite a catch. Not to mention better storyline, more focus on intense action and improved visuals and performance.

It's got a good amount of campaign time(the campaign is about the same length as CoD4) and a new multiplayer mode, that's worth 30 bucks imo. Especially since it's Crysis, which has very high single player replayability as long as you have an imagination. If you are lacking one though and just like those linear generic shooters where you can't jump over fences.. Then don't get it.

I agree, the game is only 30 bucks as well and not full price like Left 4 dead, Call of Duty 4 (when it came out) among other games.

i personally think that the crysis games are pretty bad really, i mean yeah sure they have good

graphics but the gameplay is just boring. i mean when i completed the game on elite without dying ONCE

that was the point where i started to hate the game, and also aliens are overrated (in this case anyway)

story was ok but kind of obvious if you have ever played an fps...

btw, don't tell me i don't like the game because i cant run it or anything, i ran the game on max (AAx4) with 1920x1200

specs : E8500 (3,16 dual core), GTX 280 and 4gb ram ...

my turn as a fps i think that it plays pretty bad. as a game its great. boring? depends on opinion i actually enjoy far cry 2 but people find it death boring as for the aliens.. at least they react right the humans in this game react like unreal tournament.... you completed on delta without dying? you were stealthy all right!

Sure, you completed on DELTA (not elite) without dying once. Not sure you sold anyone on that line of bs.

Yes! This is exactly it! I play through different parts of both crysis games. You can go into some levels and its a huge sandbox. Its a perfect game for those with imagination.

What sucks is that Crytek said that if Warhead didn't sell well then they were going to go console only because blah blah piracy blah blah piracy. I'm wondering if they ever thought that their game might not sell due to it being a crappy game. Oh well.

I bought a copy for $20. I've seen other games with the same length go for full price.

Luckily, it wasn't generally considered a crappy game, so they're covered on that front.
