In the latest video, there was a lot of info.

One thing he stated was the their will NOT be any global ranking system like Battlefield, but there will be in game ranks.

The closet thing I can think of in like how RTCW:ET works in that you gain ranks while in a server but once you leave they are gone.

He also said that there are vtols and stuff but did not say if they were in multiplayer, I think that was the most informative video thus far.

[Appclypse]

i said it befroe but i like ranks as long as you don't acctualy earn anything from them only badges. yh and he said vtols, they will be fun to fly on the large maps lots of space, i expect they will be more difficult to find people though lol

[PuertoRecon]

I am pretty sure servers will run stat systems even though there is no "official" rank system. It happens in every single game that doesn't have a rank system, servers run their own.

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya and im fine with that, I like that, I just do not want a global system because it promotes stats padding and ruins the game, hence why I no longer play 2142.

[PuertoRecon]

I agree. At the beginning all the awards were a motivation to promote teamwork and keep on playing, but after people started exploiting the fun was lost.

[Appclypse]

I have always hated receiving wepons but i like to look at my preety badges that i have earned. Anyway i said in a thread somewhere else that it always looked stupid on bf2 when you saw a U.S. soldier with some hench MEC gun.

[PuertoRecon]

All the badges and pins make you feel like if you were in the Boy Scouts all over again :p

[Appclypse]

Those were the days....how can i say that im only 18 and never in the boy scouts LOL

[Appclypse]

i am very interrested in how the planes are going to work...i would hope that they would do the cockpits like flight sim, i always loved the 3-d cockpits the way you could look around anywhere but i suppose without a joystick its very difficult to do. it would be fun if they had some of teh features of flight simulation ( not all the button pushing parts but the visual and flight part ).

[ReaperOfsouls]

I agree would look cool but we are not buying a flight sim.

[PuertoRecon]

I rather have them focus on other things first, then the interactive cockpit. FPS that have helis in them don't have that much detail in their cockpits anyway.

It looks like crysis won't even have jets,

http://www.crysis-online.com/forum/index.php?topic=785.15

thats too bad, oh well the Helicopters and VTOLs still are, and that will be fun.

[PuertoRecon]

Whoever said Crysis would have jets?

[jo-snowman]

the guy in charge at crysis-online, i guess he thought there would be jets in the game but after talking to crytek, he found there wasn't.

Hmmm, interesting. Ever since I heard about Crysis I've never heard jets being involved.

ya, i could see them being in singleplayer, but not in multiplayer, it just doesn't fit.

[Appclypse]

why doesn't it fit? Surely if you get tanks you get helicopters you get planes as well.

Helicopters and Tanks are more than enough. If you get jets into the game, you would then have to deal with balancing issues etc... I don't want a superpower in the air, no thanks.

[Appclypse]

VTOLS are jets. Like a harriar or a JSF. They count as jets don't they? Just Vertical Take Off and Landing?? I am beging to doubt my self now.

Well look at 2142, they call those things "VTOL's". They look like choppers but they can fly liek jets.

But the 2142 physics are ****ed up bad and you cannot barrel roll or anything in them, I hope its not like that in crysis if there are air vehicles in multiplayer.

[jo-snowman]

ya, i could see them being in singleplayer, but not in multiplayer, it just doesn't fit.

well, i kinda see the game as more of a commando/infiltrator game, I see it as being more of an infantry game where stealth and tactics are more important than big guns. I guess it is also a matter of opinion of what i would like to see the game as being for the final release.

woops wrong quote, i meant to quote Appclypse

[PuertoRecon]

I hope its not like that in crysis if there are air vehicles in multiplayer.

Agreed. And those VTOLs in 2142 don't even act as jets anyways. I wouldn't call a top speed of 800 jet-category.

Now there's a BF trauma for you;)

[Appclypse]

Shell Shock, Still i think that people hate planes way to much they were over powered in BF:2 but thats because of the UAVs and the stupid flags which forced you to fight and spawn in someone else's battle.

But, this won't nessicerly be the case in crysis as it is not built on the same idea, i suppose that it wouldn't make alot of sense as it is delta force. And the VTOLS are those things we see in the screen shots and that thing that drops off the main character in the jungle they look cool.

Like Enemy Territory Quake Wars.
Hopefully everything works out, else we have a problem with the 2 best games instantly

[Exodius]

Actually, Try 2150. i think thats somewhere up near a jet category. i have a screenshot as proof.

First post! :)

You achieved that speed with one of those things on 2142? Whoa...

Well, it should be possible but it doesn't make any sense because by the time you reach that speed you would be way out of bounds (unless you were speeding upward). If they wanted us to enjoy jet speeds the map should be spread out so the VTOL can accelerate. I usually just have small "sprints". Most of the time I hover. I hope the ones in Crysis just act like a faster helicopter.

2142 is a game not a speed...

[JerryAgent]

Concerning the cockpits, they could make it only a 3rd person view. This way you still get that perephial vision and get to see the pretty environment. I think VTOLs are great, but they should be more like transports sort of like the Blackhawk on BF2.

[PuertoRecon]

A blackhawk is too bulky, a Cobra would be more like it. :)

[ReaperOfsouls]

Ya, that would make for some good team play in relation to getting troops where they are needed.

[dsotm]

i totally agree. don't need planes. actually i love all the features in crysis. crysis sounds perfect to me and hope the future will be more and more surprising has they do until now.

i really hope crysis will push the teamplay and gameplay at the maximum possibilities like the awesome graphics.
some good team play in relation to getting troops where they are needed
hell yeah

[Steakslim]

Why not have both? Since both are awesome in their own way.

Sounds good, I'm not sure they'd do it though.
