""""Crysis should be FPS of the year. It beats COD4 in every category. The only problem with Crysis is that you have to have a high end system to enjoy it."""
I have a high end rig that can run crysis at 1280X1024 at about 45fps average but COD4 is still more fun. Crysis is way overrated. COD4 is far more creative by being more intense, there isn't a dull moment even in the loading screens and it never feels like there is a single choppy moment even during the loading screen. In crysis, there are way too many auto saves during action scenes which causes a huge one second pause which is really annoying and they didn't even add a disable feature.
((example, after you paint the ship with yur binops and the f-15's or whatever fly by and bomb and sink the ship, right after that a chopper comes after you and when I shoot it and it explodes, it saves during the exploding process killing the action.. and many more saves follow after and before that))
In crysis if you shoot an enemy with a rocket launcher dead on, or right next to where the enemy is standing, they don't even explode with guts flying everywhere, they just fall as if you shot them with a pistol and all you hear is the sound of a missle exploding but no fire or anything which is stupid. Everytime you kill an enemy in crysis they all fall pretty much the same way(give or take some knock back distance but always in the same shape and form of falling) and gets boring after seeing the same thing over and over. I think it's a shame they didn't even write a script in the graphic engine for flying body parts when using that rocket launcher. It's very unrealistic. Maybe if the parts exploded and went flying and when they bounced off whatever they hit and left some nice blood stains that would add a lot more fun to it. Another thing they killed was the nuke scene in Crysis, that was pretty cool how they showed it on the tv screen, but afterwards they should have showed an outside exterior look at the explosion to add more thrill to it like they did in COD4.
In COD4, the enemies have several ways of falling and dieing making it much more realistic and sometimes they don't die like in real life and try to get one more kill while laying wounded on the ground which is what I call very creative scripting that crysis does not have. Plus COD4 has so many interesting features in the game that make you really focus and not want to blink, like the sniper scene with the wind, or the level thats in black and white when you're flying above in the chopper bombing the enemies on the ground(that was fun! nothing like that in Crysis and your men have a sense of humor like when he said something like "WOW I'LL BET HE HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS!" after bombing him from the chopper), or how bout the level right before the nuke where you can shoot at the guys on the building and they go flying. OR! how bout them dogs in the game! ever let one of those k-9's get you! it's so freaky it's thrilling! If Crysis had dogs I'll bet they wouldn't look as good as COD4's dogs. There's more than that I cannot even think of to add right now, all I know is there is something new in every level which makes COD4 so unpredictable with action packed fun while in Crysis the only thing that is pretty much new each level is the environment around you. The core level in crysis was cool the first time around, now I always skip that level because I get lost in there for too long and that's no fun. Again, inside that core level, they have an awesome looking alien enemy to kill but there is only that one and no other different looking ones which I find kinda boring floating around killing the same thing over and over. First time around it was cool but I can't play that core level ever again.
In crysis, the only thing that game has going for it is the graphics IMO and I actually think COD4's graphics are better to look at and I admit they are more basic and simple but amazing and breath taking at the same time. In crysis most of the game is the same old stuff just different weather and time of day with the same enemies to kill over and over.
COD4's single player is actually the best FPS game I have ever played in my entire life and I own both games. Crysis is awesome at first but gets old after a while, cod4's action, storyline, the music that really pumps you up is just awesome and never gets boring. As I played COD4 the first time, every new level has something new to do plus your men have a sense of humor every once in a while which just adds more colorful taste to the game.
