As expected, players will be thrust into the important shoes of a super soldier out to save the world. Weapons are important to a shooter and Crytek is hoping their customizable armor and weapons will add to the fun and dynamic aspects of the experience by making players adapt to their environment and enemies. Of course, as you would expect following Far Cry, players will want to be adaptable to deal with some AI that's pretty competetive in the market and will undoubtedly be much improved this time around. Not only will human AI be interesting and use military tactics in real-time, but the aliens will use their own tactics and highly tuned senses to make life difficult for any would be heroes.

Even more interesting is the promise of natural disasters to confuse the issue even more. Earthquakes, ice-breaks, landslides, and tornadoes will rock the landscapes of the game making the world a death trap as far as we can tell. These particular features could be pretty interesting so we'll have to see how Crytek has chosen to implement them.

Should the weapons that can be carried prove too small, a variety of vehicles will also be available to control including tanks and helicopters. We're hoping that all of these vehicles will be included with the 32-player multiplayer modes that ship with the game. We're also hoping that the multiplayer is really functional and fun out of the box this time.
