Successor with no surprises (except Securom)

Just like the first part convinced Crysis Warhead with bombastic graphics. However, I could not find that the engine more efficiently with the hardware bypasses than the first part. My system with an overclocked to 3.4GHz Intel quad-core Yorkfield Q9300, 4GB Ram 800 and two Nvidia 9800 GTX moved automatic Config. Although the "gamers" setting, the tasächlich rumbled at faster travel by hovercraft or other views with 10-20 FpSek. Only in dells I could really enjoy the splendor, but otherwise generally played with the "mainstream" settings. Real improvements I also could not determine when the objects or textures. I think it is exactly the same engine as in the first part.
Default action the game has also learned a little. Only the combat balance has improved noticeably and so you now always the weapons at hand, which really hurt the opponents, what the game is doing very well. If you use the Tarnfunktion the Nano suit tactically from, one always has a chance against the alien drones in higher difficulties.
The plot is no less linear than the first part. But unlike in the first chapter one is permanently stopped to hurry what to ignore the interests of island splendor sometimes (without any consequences). New weapons and a new car easier (with very practical Minigun and better armor), the mowing down of Korean troops. However one must not take the tank (there are still some available there, but only as a stationary MG-position). Nevertheless, thanks to its atmospheric sound and theatrical abkratzendem friend also sowetas as mood between the shooting orgy. By the way, we learn something about the Vergagenheit the Raptor team and the reason why the heck the Koreans really wanted to have this kind, where the are so damn dangerous. Also indicated is the conclusion that in the dug-in the first part exoskeleton no ordinary alien infected. This explains the massive Martian attack. And if we will try our times as speculative script-writers that be the story of the third part, he as likely to come in out next year: We shoot alien cohorts down until we realize that actually only came to earth are to save their president, the happy times when intergalactic flight represents the tentacles. We can only look forward to the explanation of why have so waited for 2 million years. Probably to save energy: When the last time you turned on the light, there was a global ice age.
Otherwise, the game is a lot of humor and fills a weekend in the fall when the weather is bad with Rumble-in-the-Djungle.
To Securom: I second the loud protest explicitly. No, EA may actually install a rootkit with me, but to just grab a good offline copy on CD or at least only once a registration request (as in BioShock). In fact, the current SecRom is a Guantanamosofware first class and always connects to the host when connected to the Internet. It collects probably usage statistics for the marketing department and at entsprehenden keyword is equal to a protocol to the CIA? SecRom is a threat to privacy, what more should arouse more concern, as nowhere an indication is given as to what it (or that anything at all) actually makes the data. The fact is that there (is not even just a Privacy Primus) to the system settings of Windows intervenes (what SecRom really ought to cooperate with Microsoft and it probably does). But we have already seen such etc. also at the Telekom a lot and very few people have the time and training your PC not only to use, but also to understand why the majority of users to comply with the applicable laws of pages is the provider dependent. In my opinion SecRom moves as in a gray area.
The fact is that the first time we had computer and the binary code the opportunity to write an unlimited number of copies of a primary disk to accept without any loss of quality. It follows that each copy can serve as a basic disk further reproduction chains. That has an impact on copyright, with "analog" means no longer the beikommt. Increased monitoring will be the answer to the increased possibilities of reproduction, even if we do not like. The only question is how this is done and SecRom is clearly a very, very bad solution because it zugeift on things that they absolutely do not concern. Therefore: Yes copyright, but also yes to privacy (the copyright of the small man or a small woman to itself).
My conclusion: If you are not a fan of Crysis, you should definitely think twice before you get yourself to the second part of the new, barchiale SecRom on the computer. The game is good (but expensive), no question, but if it's worth that should be worth a few minutes to change your mind.
