Crysis Warhead is a standalone expansion for Crysis.[url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/ZechsX18999/recommended/17300/] I highly recommended Crysis, so having more Crysis is always good.

A relatively short expansion mission for Crysis 1. The level design and action are more streamlined than the main Crysis game. There are a few new weapons including a grenade launcher, and I found them quite fun. I especially enjoyed three levels involving vehicles. Nevertheless, if you enjoyed Crysis 1, then you should also enjoy this.

This is the True Crysis 2 Pro's: -New Enemies and guns -Fight Aliens a lot more of the game now -Fight more Nanosuit foes now -Kill way more Exosuits -The levels have so much ammo, every other room or building has an ammo cache -Mission variety is way better and more fun then Crysis -Final boss is actually fun -Music is way better -Characters are better than Crysis -More side objectives -You can still stealth almost the entire game -You get a nanosuit team to fight with you sometimes! Con's: -Cutscenes are well below budget level -It a Harder game than Crysis a scout can solo kill you if it unloads one volley and the gauss rifle OHK you On Delta -It ends If you like Crysis Get warhead and try to play it on compatibility mode for windows vista/7 and youll have a blast 8/10 Story: 0.5 - in Crysis we already see how warhead starts and ends Stability: 1 - never crashed Bugs: 0 - I believe the issues this game has steams from it being 32 bit as half way through the game lighting effects and shadows start to artifact on the screen through entire levels and enemies in one level could see and shoot you through the entire map. Characters: 1 - Ma'am, Psycho, and O'Neil three peas in a pod Combat: 1 - fun and hell and never lacking for ammo! Enemies: 1 more nanosuits more aliens more action overall! Voice acting: 1 - Im British you Muppet Cutscenes: 0.5 - budget as hell almost looks like a story board draft Levels: 1 - more diverse and allow for more tactic options badassness 1 - They improved on almost everything from Crysis from Max speed lasting longer to all the weapons having a forest camo skin on them

Warhead is wayyyyyy better than Crysis 1! It's too bad this wasn't remastered, cause right now this is my favorite Crysis game! I still gotta play 2 and 3, but this is still way better than 1. The Korean A.I. has been tweaked to the point being spotted isn't so ridiculous! But to the first game's credit, maybe it's the Remastered version that is so wonky with the A.I. and bugs. Perhaps I shoulda gotten the regular version, but knowing me as an achievement nut. Psycho is way more interesting than Nomad, this villain plays a much bigger role, the story is taken more seriously, and the best part: the final boss battle was fair and fun! I LOVED Warhead! It had its fair share of issues, too, of course. Sometimes props would kill me on the spot, which is nerve-wrecking, but when it kills the enemies, it's funny! XD When I dual wield, one of the weapons fires automatically for some reason, which might be more of a keyboard binding issue, which might be personal. Plus, if I take too much damage, or an explosion happens, the whole screen blinks black for some odd reason. Though none of which really hurt the game all that much for me. If you're gonna play the Crysis trilogy, or at least just Crysis 1, you HAVE TO, I say, HAVE TO play this! Think of this as a part of the first game. It feels incomplete without this.

Before DLC plague our games, this is how an expansion was meant to be. As always Crysis Warhead was epic, brutal and interesting.
