Damnit Sal! I watched the Trailer and now im torn............ :oops:  If that is in game play im gonna go ahead and seriously load Crysis back on my Machine! I can run Crysis on all 3 of my flat screens for 3780X 1024 resolution ultra high graphics. 

?'s.........
1. Do i have to patch up Crysis with all the Crysis patches before adding on MWLL?

2. Is MWLL an exe self installer or do I have to manually install/move folders with it?

3. What are the limits of flight stick? do we still have torso twist as default & do most buttons work for alpha & chain fire?

4. I have a "Game pad" I use instead of keyboard, I'm sure I can map key commands to it also?

5. Can you fly those jets?


I'm not quitin War, but those graphics & mechs sure look sweet :roll:



The promo video is all gameplay.

You need vanilla Crysis, with the 1.21 patch (game version1.1.16516).  You don't need either expansion.

The install is simple, it's just a /mod folder you extract to your main Crysis directory.  The only thing you have to do manually is move a keymap file to your Crysis profile in my doccuments / my games.  They have it all explained in a sticky thread on the MW:LL forums.  Some people are having trouble with that step, but it's really as simple as copy / paste / rename file.

I got my joystick set up yesterday and it seems to do everything it should.  I think you can aim more precisely with the mouse, but that is true for almost all games.  The main issue with joystick support is that you have to edit a convoluted text file to program it.  I am getting pretty familiar with it, so if you need any help with yours let me know.  You can program up to 32 buttons and every axis on the flight stick.  Everything in terms of control from the previous mech games is there.  Of course you have torso twist, as well as different triggers for each weapon group.  You can edit weapon groups on the fly with just the arrow keys and enter.  You can toggle between group and chain fire, or make an alpha strike group.  programming the gamepad should be no problem.

You can pilot the aerospace fighters and VTOLs, as well as tanks and battle armor.

I am looking for a good Crysis CD Key so me and parker can play in the same servers together... I'm going to buy him a copy soon... but if we could borrow your key, I'd appreciate it.  I am also going to try and put a dedicated server together and run it at my office.... but I'm not sure what specs I need for it yet.  I should have all the hardware laying around here to do it.
