Thunderbolt reports:
''Crysis blew a few minds - and computers - when it was released in November last year. The open-ended shooter took the highly praised gameplay of Crytek's shooter Far Cry and improved the graphics and physics, propelling it to insane heights of hype. The game was received very well, but sales were a bit lackluster - a problem caused by high amounts of piracy, according to the developers. Crysis Warhead is a semi-sequel, putting players in the shoes of Sgt. Psycho - the comic relief character from your squad in Crysis, in a parallel story to the events in the first game. He's not so funny this time around, though, as Crysis Warhead puts players in his shoes during a "secret mission" that took place during Nomad's adventure in Crysis.
In the time that I spent with the game, I experienced an almost carbon copy of Crysis. The nanosuit was the same, the guns were the same for the most part (save for a new SMG and a grenade launcher I wasn't able to try out.) I was told that it had been optimized to require a slightly less insane computer than the first; this, however, seemed a little iffy. The PC we tested was said to be a $699 machine running an nVidia 9800GT. I was surprised, then, that the game ran at a crawl in some spots - ironically at the same points my EA rep decided to tell me how the computer was running the game at a constant 30fps. The game looks largely the same; not that Crysis really needed improving. The demo on offered featured a hovercraft chase over an ice flow - however, I opted out of using the vehicle and set off on foot. The amount of freedom seems to have been extended - the level was not only huge in a linear sense, but open, featuring ice plains, mountains, and frozen forests.''

Really hoping that tease from their latest tech demo turns out to be a new game or maybe remaster/remake of the first game. The first and warhead are still my favorite in the series
I can’t even get Warhead to boot up on windows 10. None of the fixes I found online helped, at best it hangs at the loading screen for the first level
Crysis and Crysis: Warhead are often described as some of the best first-person shooters of modern-day. Contrary to the next parts of the series, these two titles offered really large environments in which players could cause havok and approach their objectives via different routes. And we are happy to report that both of these games are now available on GOG, completely DRM-free.
