Crysis Single Player Custom Maps

I loved the scenery in this custom map. Everything looks awesome. There are a couple of "rock bugs" here and there, but I can live with it. (Rock bugs are bugs that arise when the rock models are not optimized and you have spaces in between surfaces. The intersections are not calculated correctly and sometimes you slid from a cliff and get stuck in that space. There is no way out but to grenade yourself and reload from your last save).

This is by far the best modification I have ever seen and played in my life. If you are a fan of Crysis and want to see more of that CryTek engine in action, you have got to see this thing. Amazing, just amazing. The DOF is by default on and distant objects (like 100 feet away) are blurrier than nearer objects. Brilliant use of water and reflections, just amazing. You gotta see it to believe it. The story sucks though, the voice and the acting is just ludicrous and downright annoying at times. But who cares.

You can find the download file in Crymod Modding Portal

Warhead is actually just an expansion pack on Crysis, although it is being sold as a standalone package. Meaning you don't have to own Crysis to play Crysis Warhead. It's the same engine, but a much better put together product. The skins of the weapons are just awesome. The AI acts much much better. And the radio chatter is just superb. The storyline, except the alien part, makes a lot of sense and I loved the Psycho character - screw Nomad is what I say. But, of course, like all other expansion packs, the story this one brings is waaaay to short. I wish instead of distrbuting the entire game engine, EA would just release the same DVD with only a add on story line. You know, instead of 80% engine, 20% content ratio, I wish we had 100% content and total dependancy on Crysis (if you want the addon, buy the game sort of thing). Alas, since EA is after the money selling 100 "AddOn" packages < selling 100 full blown game packages (nobody would pay the full game price for an addon package so they would make less money). Anyway, it's totally worth to buy Crysis Warhead if you absolutely loved Crysis. Otherwise, don't bother is what I say.

I did not try Fraps with Warhead, since it caused a crash on Crysis. The screenshots, again, lack most of the realtime filtering that is going on on my screen, but they are nice nonetheless.
