The beta wasn't that convincing at first, and they never did fix the problems I encountered and submitted. I hope it's going to fair better this time.

So.... its pay to win with fancy gfx. No thx - Skill should determine the winner, not their dads visa card!

 

[jakrabbit]

yeah i don't like pay to win, I think they should come up with a compromise between FTP and standard purchase maybe a 10$ fee that gives you all the weapons but making the maps and extra modes, in game purchases.

Hate pay to win!

They can't even fix their current games... what makes me want to play another Crytek game that will not have proper support?

 

[Sangeet Khatri]

Well.. they said that they are looking forward to launch games to Linux, if this one is coming, then it would be a big welcome by the Linux community.

Metro has also announced that they would be porting the Metro Last Light to Linux.

Also looking at the Valve's attention towards gaming on Linux, I hope we see some more good games on Linux because only Linux lovers like me would know how awesome it is.

Free to play means free, not requiring you to pay $50 to be able to play.

Considering the hit reg issues the cryengine 3 based mechwarrior online still has it'll be interesting to see how crytek decided to handle these issues.

Crytek sucks, they sold their soul to the devil

 

[anxiousinfusion]

Boy, this really fills a niche. There are hardly any military shooters on the market today.

The free to play model is very hard to pull off, and so far i think maybe 3-4 models managed to get it right.
Examples of bad free to play games (in my opinion):
Need for speed world: Full of hackers after the first 2 months, instead of adding new contenet they incresed the in game currency prices so you need to spend a huge amount of time to get anything, and content only available by money that is far better than free.

Personally the free games i really liked are: Warframe, Tribes Ascend and Trackmania nations forever.

 

[HaYeK]

I'll give it a try

Will this mean that we can freely download the core engine components to play mechwarrior living-legends? So far, you had to own Crysis Warhead to play this mod IIRC.

 

[ninong]

don't take away the boobs

Pay 2 win is not really an issue for me since I attain "bullet magnet" with regularity. I play the F2P games to get a break from life not lice another one. I can't wait for the Crysis franchise to be ported to linux, then I'd never need to boot to windows.

 

[macpeteo]

Free to spend (is what they mean!) no thank you!

 

[signothorn]

WTF, it requires a browser plugin that tells you upfront it has access to all data on your computer and the websites you visit...

 

[hoppercorey]

ok wait, forget about the free to play/pay to win and lets talk about the real important issue, Americans to get the female skins with big breasts lots of cleavage and there stomachs showing, this game sucks...
