Crysis Podcast

[I am RKO]

Hey. Broken Eggs are going to be doing a Podcast on this game. I'm lucky enough to be chosen as one of the hosts, so basically, what do the Total Crysis members want?

[lavbanka]

Nice. Although I still don't know what I want to hear. Do whatever you guys think is the best. :)

[Venomous]

Wow awesome its a honor to post here :P Congrats though

[Iwantcable]

Explanations of all the new DX10 graphics because I don't know what they mean... :confused:

[silK`]

Who I need to befriend to get the game early! :)

ROFL! Exactly! XD

Lmao. I'm very much a "Total" guy so if you have suggestions etc.. i'll see them in the thread.

How fast you die, as in can a guy with a machine gun mow you down in almost no time or can you take a hit. I mean in multiplayer mostly.

That would be nice to know. Halo vs Call of Duty.

I'd be interested to see what they're doing to make the game more compatible on older computers. Let's face it, not everybody has an Intel Conroe and a 8800GTX do they? So obviously they can't aim the game at a very small audience - EA will definately of made them make it compatible for less powerful computers.

After having a bit of a brainwave, I'd also like to know what they are including that will aid teamwork. In BF2142, we have the Spawn Beacons, Squad Leader spawns, and so on - but waht will there be in Crysis that will help us work together as a team.
Will it be more Counter Strike where you just run around like a headless chicken, or will it be more Battlefield orientated? Will there be a commander or squad leader?

One thing im curious to know is, is there material penertration, in other words can you shoot threw stuff because i have not heard anything about this.

[silK`]

That will throw all the CS-Noobs into uproar :P

Well i think if you shoo the stuff long enough it falls down and then you shoot them. -I am not being sarcastic either in one video it said that is how they make it so cover is not always there and you have to move, because people can destroy it.

[silK`]

It shows the lad punching the walls down too, so I do assume there is some sort of penetration tactic.

[Appclypse]

Yh but when you see the village video the helo can't shot hte guy in the buliding might just be because it would over powe the helo if he could or it might be for them all.

I think they're trying to improve on the inbalances of BF2, not directly - but there is definately evidence of it.
If a Helo could shoot through buildings easily, imagaine how annoyed we'd become after only two or three minutes of constant bullet spam...

[I am RKO]

To be honest, i'd prefer a kick to a punch when knocking down a door or whatever.

But, getting killed by a falling tree would be awesome.

[Whiteplague]

i agree with what everyone is saying and i dont know of anything im interested in myself more than they have already suggested

but id mostly like clarification on the DX10 versus DX9 issue, multiplayer stuff andhow uber my pc needs to be to run it on high :)

Thats exactly waht i thought, if you can already blow apart the buildings then you shouldn't be able to shoot threw them as well.

[silK`]

Balance is great, but I don't want it dead horizontal if you get me?
As a 100% infantry player anyway, I don't use vehicles at all in any game - I like the idea of being stuck in a building with a lad on your own team, and having to fight off incoming attackers.

If a Helo could shoot through buildings easily, imagine how annoyed we'd become after only two or three minutes of constant bullet spam...To a point, but I would hardly call it bullet "spam". The average guy on the battlefield wont waste his ammo to shoot every building despite them not knowing if anyone is inside. It is useful, but spamming bullets is just wasteful and would not work well.

On the other hand if a guy is taking cover behind a 1cm thick piece of wood, I think he should get what he deserves. :)

[I am RKO]

I hear you can rip off panels of houses if your an alien. It's like.. "PEEK A BOO!"

[silK`]

Oo that seems pretty fun. Imagine the screams you'd hear from my Clan Members on ventrilo as I jump out on them! :)

Yes but remeber the map with the warehouses that have objectives in side. Small area could easily slaughter a couple of guys with just soem lucky shots, especially if you can predict the most obvious positions for them to hide in.
