Crysis 2 was being shown behind closed doors today at EA’s booth. A pair of developers from Crytek showed us two areas of the game and the two special suits that you get to use while saving humanity from an alien onslaught.
Both areas were in New York, the primary backdrop for the game. The first battle showed the player battling alien mechs in the streets, going in and out of large buildings (via holes blown into the side of them). The Predator mode was turned on, allowing the player to cloak and ambush the enemies.
Several different, but standard, weapons were used like a pump shotgun, submachine gun, and grenades. We were told that the Predator suit is more for the snipers or stalkers, while the Armor suit is for getting right into the heart of the action.
We witnessed the Armor suit in the second demoed area. Again in another part of New York, the Armor suit was used to fight a massively large alien mech. The battle took place in a large open space inside of a building. Explosive weapons and ammo were conveniently placed around the battle area, giving the demo a chance to show off the JAW rocket launcher.
That’s about all there was to see with Crysis 2. There was no Q&A and no other details were revealed. Check back for more on Crysis 2 as the release draws nearer.
