I start off with long range shots, then use the cloak to bomb it down the hill, then go and use melee attacks, so fun

So many ways to take em down, great game.

I like to mix it up but my favourite way is to draw them it to the jungle, lie low and pop out of stealth to deliver a fatel shot before disapearing again, never gets old and can be very tense and exciting when they start to crowd you :)
Taking everyone out in a camp without being seen is also great, guess I'm more a stealth kind of guy.

Other times(on lower difficulties!) i like to go full out, grabing people throwing them into walls, speeding behind them, jumping on top of buildings, all very fun.

i like to use the console to give myself a LAW rocket launcher, then fire at least 6 rockets in the air, then point the laser at my foes. Or spawn the tactical nuke gun. Or the helicopter... bwahaha the sandbox is such fun.

Lately i've been using a running and gunning tactic after using cloak alot. I usually start out by cloaking close as I can then speeding up to a building, swithcing to str and jumping on a building, punch the roof in, grenade(if i have them) then wreac havoc.

I like to creep up to the koreans in cloak, turn on speed, grab them and run away with them using them as shields against enemy fire. Another favorite is power jumping onto roof, smash roof and turn on cloak while falling shooting survivors with shootgun as i hit the ground. If i got the time powerthrowing koreans at other koreans is fun too..

My best strategy is to play it on medium quality and get 30fps average, and then find out that the game isnt what I thought it was:

- optimasation?

- Fun new gameplay that everyone hyped

... Be honest it was hyped for the graphics and with out a machine that can play it on Very High(£1000 PC) your not going to be blown away by graphics and the game it self is nothing short of average.

On Delta difficulty, stealth is pretty much the only way you can survive. Running and gunning may work on Easy and Normal, but when it only takes a few seconds to get gunned down by one or two enemies, you either have to walk completely around them or take them by surprise.

It may look "great"... but 30FPS! is my main beef with it.

On high I have no chance of having a good experience Average of 18FPS

On medium 30FPS

...Its still laggy most of the times in gun play and FFS SHOOTERS arent fun with lag.

I play on low settings and it lags in physics intense situations, but I still have had a lot of fun with the demo. Played through it 3 times and messed around in Sandbox for hours. Crysis is definitely not all show.

My favorite strategy is to prowl the rooftops with strength mode and a shotgun.

To strangle people just grab them (F button by default when close). Throw them at one another, or use maximum strength and toss them (or some other objects) high in the air for some clay-pigeon shooting :P Try different things with it, such a fun game!

To install the sandbox, look for the "CryEngine(R)2 Sandbox(TM)2.msi" file in your Crysis install folder (Sandbox2 Installer subdirectory), run it to install.

Strategy 1:

Run up to the enemies firing off shots and making a lot of noise, then when they notice me I hide behind a rock and come out cloaked for the easy headshot.

Strategy 2:

Turn all of the settings up to high except for shaders and water effects, and run around at 15fps on my X850XT, single core processor until the enemies arrive and struggle to get a kill at like 1 fps.

yeah.....if you didn't notice before the demo came out that the graphics were amazing, and realized that that meant it would kill computers, then that's not crytek's fault. you can say what you want about them being stupid for making the game so hard to run, but the game itsself is amazing.

personally, I enjoy cloaking and hiding in the jungle getting pot-shots from vastly different positions. confusion ftw!
