Meh. Crysis has always been a tech demo franchise that prioritizes style over substance imo.

I heard Crysis 2 was really bad, just like MMCC0203 said it just looks good but plays shit

They play like a cross between Modern Warfare and Halo (even more than Halo 4 now) and they are okay games but better tech demos than anything. If you want an FPS that provides the best graphics the Xbox 360 can possibly produce than Crysis 2 is still your best bet.
On that note. I hate how people (including the journalists) are saying Halo 4 is the best looking FPS on Xbox 360. I KNOW they are talking about the pre-rendered cut scenes. Yeah, those look f@cking amazing but those videos are NOT actual game play. Everyone must have taken crazy pills before reviewing that game.

Crysis was always a game series of "graphics over gameplay." It definetley will not age well as graphics improve.

The thing about Halo 4's game play graphics is that they were just SO MUCH of an improvement over Reach that it sorta boggled the mind lol

I hate to bring it up and compare but in the new generation, lighting and shadows will be the star of the presentation and there are allot of smoke and mirrors going on with Halo 4 . The shadows on your armor and weapon aren't real-time, when you run into a dark place they turn dark, in light they turn light. It's not like in some recent Modern Military Shooters when shadow textures from leaves and buildings reflect on things. It's still very much the Reach engine and it shows.

The second one was a huge letdown. It wasn't a bad game (in most respects, the fact that the main character never speaks is a huge ruiner), but the devs PROMISED and even made TRAILERS and TEASER videos for the map editor.
And then it never shipped with the game. So, due to that, I think I'll be skipping Crysis 3. The map editor was, after all, the ONLY reason I picked up Crysis 2 in the first place.

Did you make Goldeneye maps ion crysis 2? Nope. The map editor didn't ship with the game. In fact, it was never released at all. Biggest disappointment in my life. But the plan was to continue Project Goldeneye with the Crysis 2 Engine, but....yeah. And then when FarCry 3's multiplayer ate itself, I finally shelved the project. That, and I can't fucking navigate Statue Park to save my life, let alone re-create it

Lol I remember you telling me thats were you stopped, its a horrible map anyway. I cant see it being of any use online unless its a ctf map or something... We will find a good game with a map editor someday and we shall reunite! Long live the unity!!!

I don't understand why people think H4 looks so great. Sure the pre-rendered cutscenes look almost photorealistic, but in real time the 360 really shows it's age. 720p, loads of aliasing/jaggies, and low-res textures are just some of the things I noticed. As Blade said there's a lot of smoke and mirrors.

MMCC0203. Please comment on my Halo 4 review. Feel free to tear into Halo 4 all you want there. Right now I'm feeling very alone in my opinion on it.
