I didn’t think much of the original Crysis at all – a drab and tedious shooter that had nothing much to recommend it outside of its visuals, and instead of blowing a second mortgage on a PC to run it, I could simply look out my window instead. Look, trees! But Crysis 2 has Richard Morgan aboard, and because I’m such a slut for his stuff, I’m shamelessly swapping sides for the sequel. I’m consistent like that.
Anyway, it’s scheduled for release sometime later this year, but it looks like EA and Crytek are throwing a big beta party in the meantime.
“Looking to get your hands on Crysis 2 early? Now is your chance! Early registrations will be tracked, and our first wave of users will have a chance to win a key as and when the Crysis 2 beta takes place. All you need to do is sign up early and one day in the near future you may be receiving a mail with an invite to the game.”
So if you’re jonesing to get Nanosuited up and shoot bad guys, start hitting refresh on your browser for the Crysis community site relaunch around 10am GMT.
