Crysis Warhead: 9 Years Later
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2017
- This game is nothing to gloss over. It's the missing link. Crysis Warhead is one of my favourite games of all time, and in this video I will explain why. This was one of the first videos I ever loved making despite having to use Sony Vegas, which by the way crashed 5 times during production. I never believed a simple expansion pack like this could be so important. To the series, to my understanding of the games and to these videos. There's lots of points I didn't get to cover in this video for the sake of structure which I'm really quite proud of in this case. I highly recommend you play the game yourself, just makes sure you buy the steam version! And know you'll need to download the 64 bit patch if you have windows 10.
For music I just used the full Warhead album. It's a great soundtrack. The track you hear during the conclusion is from Crysis 2, called "nano catalyst prophet's journey".
I apologise for the bitrate of the footage. I recorded at 20mb/s and rendered at 20 too. It came out better than the first video at least. Much of that's down to Vegas' awful renderer but also because I can't record PC games at high fidelity. Not until I get some returns from this channel at least.

My dumb ass called Richard Morgan "Robert Morgan" in this video. I'm pretty sure Robert K Morgan was a colonel in the US Air Force. Richard's the guy who wrote Crysis 2.
Please take the video down and make an entire new one. I won't watch it with a mistake like that. I'll be back for the re-upload.
That's it, this video is unwatchable now!
26:52 I wonder if you know about the remaster they're working on. I don't know WHY they think it needs to be remastered, but maybe it'll actually be a remake, and improve on the of the original's flaws.
Unlikely, but I'll wait to give it a chance.
would be nice to see your review on the new crysis remaster coming out soon all so considering what you said at the end of your video that now in 2017 Crysis is dead and buried and it I'll likely never return. But now in 2020 Crysis will return and its not dead and buried it i'll likely to be even more amazing and with all the bugs taken out and running on a modern pc with no issues on the modern cpu and graphics cards nice video i watched all your Crysis reviews will love to see your comparison of the old verses the remastered of crysis.
Warhead has always been severely underrated. Glad you're getting it out there how good it is.
It's my pleasure. Thanks for the shoutout!
MandaloreGaming : Crysis Warhead Review
pls
Are you guys buds? I should’ve known!
I remember that Warhead had this f*ckin DRM thing, that you can install it only 3 times or something. People were pissed off at EA (me too).
I hate that they didn't continue the story from the DLC of the alien that didn't selfdestruct.
Did Warhead have no marketing campaign? I literally found out about this game by accident and it was the most enjoyable Crysis game.
I got it when I bought Crysis Maximum edition at walmart so many years back a few years before crysis 2 was released. I was glad cause it was more fun then crysis I felt.
I barely saw any advertisements for either games back then, I only noticed it the first time at walmart cause of the box art looking really cool for the first game crysis. But I knew nothing about it and was younger and less likely to waste money on an unknown game for PC (when there were lots of crapy PC games back then that had great cover art). I only got it cause I came across a video review (on IGN back then) and was like "holy cow this game looks awesome" and went out and got the maximum edition.
Same. I honestly had no idea crisis existed until like 2017ish I saw it on a steam sale
@@oso1165 My GOODNESS! What a find that must have been...
@@Eradifyerao haha yea. Being able to play it with gpu and cpu 10 years after it was made definitely helped lol
@@iamfuturetrunks did you have a strong enough pc

Although this line was in scripted in the game, I can assure you that English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people never refer to themselves as British.
@@md9476 i use British and English interchangeably. I know others who do the same.
When I was 15 I worked at Wendy's for 7 months everyday after school to save $3000 dollars to build my gaming computer,the main drive being Crysis. It was a Intel core 2 duo E6600,8800 gts 640 mb,2 gb ddr2 800 ram,300 gb hd,680i Nforce mobo and 700watt Thermaltake PSU.When that game finally dropped so did my jaw,I was blown away and being the only one with the computer to play it at high settings let alone at all........Ye,I was the baddest mofo among my friends hahahaha
Sounds sweet, good for you :)
Wow that’s tragic.
At the same time I saved a similar amount of cash and bought a car which opened up so many opportunities. It was an early 90’s bmw saloon, have no idea what model or even colour it was (possibly dark grey/ regular dull grey)
It’s so sad to think that while I was driving about getting life experience and seeing the world, dweebs like you and some of my friends were hold up in your rooms losing your shit over a game that would be largely forgotten on technology that was worth a quarter of what you payed for it 6 months down the line.
It’s so wild now when I meet people that made choices like that in their teens and how apparent it is they wasted their time and money. I mean, not a single one of my dweeby friends from high school could afford a quarter of my lifestyle now and they still have to work months and months to save for basic shit.
It’s so ironic as I can drop whatever cash on whatever new cool stuff is around (just picked up a oculus quest and Half Life Alyx, put an new m.2 ssd in my office setup) and it’s no sweat.
I guess the point of my rant would be to ask the question; ‘Are you still the baddest mofo, or is the use of the word ‘was’ an indication of your current circumstances being less than desirable?’ And regardless of answer ‘do you have any regrets knowing what you do about your life now?’
I can 100% say I made an unbelievable choice that gave me so many incredible experiences that it fundamentally changed my personality. It allowed me to mature quicker than my peers and in many ways gave me confidence that I could sit at the adult table and be taken seriously both professionally and personally.
@@fioredeutchmark ye sure dream on little virgin shit
Fiore Deutchmark this has to be a meme💀
@@fioredeutchmark HA-HA!
Warhead is the best Crysis. The perfect formula Crysis 2 wasn't able to achieve.
I adore how you showed stuff like blasting helicopters out of the sky at high speed. I can tell you really love the game and want people to see the kind of amazing stuff you can do in it you really can't in any other game I've ever played
Whitelight consistently puts out really high quality videos, surprised his channel doesn't get more attention

Randomly came across this video. I expected you to have maybe 300k Subscribers, thats how professional this felt...
Upvoted for spooky bois
Just watched Every video in your crysis series start to finish. definitely some of the best production value I have ever seen on UA-cam keep up the amazing work. I was also wondering I read in another comment section that raycevick is your brother is it true?
I believe i just found a UA-cam hidden gem, great content keep it up.
Amazing video!
You started doing crysis videos around the same time I decided to give them all a shot again.
These videos are such a detailed look into the game and it's development, it makes playing them all the more enjoyable.
Thank you for making the content you do, Your videos on Dark Souls and these Crysis ones are up there with the best In-depth reviews/critiques on the internet.
Thanks man!
About the harbour mission - you can actually swim near the beach, shoot the mines to avoid dying from it, then swim to the harbour from the water. It's a bit of a bore, but a practical option since the subsequent attack on the base becomes seriously easy.
Thank you for providing such a great, mature series for us. I can't wait for you to cover the F.E.A.R games!
Crysis was one of the best gaming experiences I had, I can't help myself to have hope someday we'll see a crysis 4
what about a new 2018 Crysis 1 mod featuring custom 8k textures?
gpu killer mod ;)
It will be a game you regret playing mate. Since EA has been going shit.
I was looking REALLY forward to Star Citizen, shamefully. It looked so damn good.
But like many games - Midair, No Man's Sky, Star Wars Battlefront, Titanfall 2, they ended up being disappointments.
I really hope Star Citizen ends up not failing, because it looks so damn good. But at this point, all we can do is 'wait and see', not because there's nothing we can do, but because the developers had so many damn money thrown at them and it would be a shame if it went to waste.
There won't be a new crysis 4 cuz the story is complete.... Sad thing...
Oh man I just thinking about how you'll cover the Prototype series gets me hyped up. They were one of my favorite super hero (if you can call it that) type of games.
So sad we haven't heard anything since that remaster a couple years back.
The script for prototype 1 is long done, it was the first proper full length script I wrote for the channel. It came out very long and in more of a critique/commentary format. My plan is to take from it and reduce it down into a years later type video, and then do the full commentary along side it.

I'm on of the few people who played Crysis Warhead first. Loved it.
Most people don't care about this but even the music in Crysis Warhead was phenomenal. I noticed you used the ending track for the background music to the video. Nice touch!
I think the original Crysis has better visual level design. It looks like nature and feels like a natural island layout. Crysis Warhead has an "editor" look and feel about it that I think even comes across in the video. (I think quite a few have actually played it since it has been a super-cheap staple in Steam sales, and obviously a fairly impressive one.)
By the way, regarding your comments about Crytek having learned more about level design from the first Crysis: Crysis was already a deliberately streamlined "action blockbuster" version of Far Cry (not even 1, but just that, though technically 1, yes).
Warhead is the typical "let's have fun and put everything we HAVE (rather than learned) to use"-addon. It takes the training wheels off and is less concerned with proper introduction, presentation, sequencing of features etc. That is a typical and kind of predictable phenomenon. Just saying regarding the origins of the formula.
(Far Cry was freer but also trashier, crazier, more "hardcore", which is something that is still present in the series.)
Hey man!
Mandaloregaming recommended your channel and as of now I've seen your years later crysis series and I really liked them, keep up the good work!
Still love all crysis games.
There are also 6 comics that tell Prophet’s back story and what happened to him when he was abducted by that Ceph in Crysis 1 (Time travel???). Also when Nomad, Psycho and Helena Rosenthal went back to the Island to rescue Prophet. What really happened to Nomad.

Yup, I go over them in full in the last video.
you got my sub, not the first of your vids i'm watching, where you give a well educated presentation, keep up the great work
Well Mandalore sent me here, and I couldn't be more happy for it. I will be binging your content and excitedly waiting for more! You do such a wonderful job, and it shows through your high quality videos. Your channel will keep growing! Thanks for your hard work.
I stumbled across your Warframe video and checking out this video I'm very impressed. I love people who dedicate time to writing a well-thought-out script, thank you for taking the time to do so.
Enjoyed this series a lot, great work dude, can't wait for more critiques in future.
Seriously, how in the Blue Hell do you not have a couple million subs? Quality content, well written, and well voiced. You can hear the passion you put into your vids and the passion for gaming itself which proves you're one of "us". In a just world you sir would be laughing all the way to the bank. You keep making vids, and I'll keep watching. Happy New Year.
Love your vids man! keep up the good work! :D
Great video man, can't wait to hear your thoughts on STALKER!
Studying your every video game nostalgia review. Amazed. Great content. Keep it up. Loved crysis, fear, (most of) AC series, would like to see far cry, Skyrim, deus ex reviews. Highest respect for your extremely professional work. Should be mandatory for potential youtubers who ever consider reviewing games.
man this explosion at 17:12 looks soooooooo good crazy.
Whitelight: we'll likely never hear of crysis again
Crytek: crysis 4
Man, this dude got something going on, freaking great reviews of the Crysis games. Cheers!
So glad I found you channel, just bought the original Crysis thanks to you
The spooky boys are named
They’re called scouts

Great videos, back in the day I played through Crysis 1, Warhead, and Crysis 2 but never had the will to even start Crysis 3, with the videos you made now at least I know how the story ended. Story, gameplay, technical background and personal opinions, just what these kind of reviews need!
Loved the video, was amazing!
Just wanna say something about the last level since I love to stealth it from time to time..
You can get to the main camp with the radio tower at the end without going across the airfield
You can actually go from behind and avoid all the tanks and just jump over a fence and climb the ladder without being spotted, it was a really really good final mission!
Oh! Yeah I knew there was a section behind it, but I didn't realise you get get there before going into the base, that's really cool.
Lazar Petrovic a a7x fan nice.
Dude this channel is the fkn best!
Great video as usual :)
I just discovered your review and appreciate it. This was my favorite installment by far and I've played it a lot - probably finished it more than 100 times. I'm sure you figured out you can go around the edge of the final base. It takes patience and work but if you stick to the right side (and you have to wipe out a lot of infantry) you can get outside the back fence and make your way around to the tower. There are some stacked smashed cars which are obviously there so you can hop the fence at the back of the tower and get right in. You can also get into the base from the tracks and follow around to your left and hug the left edge of the base and make your way to the tower. Lots of enemies. I don't know how many times I've played this through, but a few strategies for the big boss at the end: (1) you can pin in it in the area by container (it can't move forward) and fight from inside one of the metal huts outside the fence around the hangars - takes a while but your survivability is almost guaranteed. You can fight it from the same side of the base as the tower but straight across from the big hangars - it cannot get in there due to barricades and you can hide behind the buildings - not as great a cover from the flyers but you can win this way. Also, it takes more than 50 rockets to kill it if you use rockets. I tried piling up all the C4 I could find in a spot where I knew the final boss would be and detonated it - didn't quite kill it but softened it up a bunch. 100% agree - this is the best Crysis game for so many reasons. You can 100% stealth the flgith recorder if you take your time. I love the options and size of the game to be creative in mission objective accomplishments. Great review.
This series was great, and I really enjoyed it. I'm also really eager for the other games you mentioned, namely F.E.A.R. and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. You deserve a lot more subs than you have, and you got one from me for sure.
Great video, and +1 for a review like this on Prototype!
my only regret is that i haven't discovered this amazing channel earlier. This and crysis 1's review was so far the most well done reviews i have ever watched. also i love crysis 1 and warhead. i have finished both of the mmultiple times. each with different playstyle. and realized best approach is starting stealthily and when shit goes down being able to adapt to enemy types was the thing that kept you alive. Its one of the reasons i love it. you have to adapt to certain situations and have know when to run, hide or shoot. Very similar to half life's motto "run, think, shoot, live." with less "parkour-esque" gameplay.
We Need a remaster of this game.Imagine how good the graphics would be
gpu killer mod ;)
press F to pay respect for GPU
You Serious? *BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?!*
would be cool they do it and optimize it like hell and make MP VERY INTERESTING!
MP in Crysis Warhead was actually pretty fun to play, capturing objectives and producing tanks, helicopters, buying prototype weaponry in the Alien lab and literally nuking the enemy base.
Goddamn, good times were had there.
Great video series. I remember playing Warhead before Crysis 1 on a 2.0GHz dual core 512Vram HP Pavilion Laptop, it was actually my first PC gaming experiences and I didn't knew about the PAX until my second play through. This game was incredible back in the day, despite my computer's limitations when running it
Great video. This is my favourite Crysis game!
Great video of my favorite Crysis part ;p sub goes on
Great job man! This is one of the best shooters ever, I laid 260 hours into this title, doubling what I did in the original title and always felt it was frankly, grandly underrated. Very well done.
Excellent Video!
That train level alone is worth playing the game.
Crysis Wars actually has a small fanbase, that even made their own client after Gamespy closed. But same with the Mechwarrior LL Mod, I never actually tried it. Also I subscribed.
Really liked Warhead 9 years ago, excited to see the video.
Ooh, Prototype 1 & 2 would be a good set of videos.
"I don't know why he doesn't just use maximum strength"
Yeah same thought
im currently playing it, and having a blast!
The best thing Warhead does is giving us wide open areas in the snowy landscapes (the giant waves frozen in place are so cool!) which the first severely lacked because it became linear in the latter half. Not to mention, who doesn’t love Psycho?
awesome summary, i always had the impression that warhead is superb, good to find out it's not only me
Could you talk about the lost planet series? I remember everyone went nuts when the first one came out, it was a really well thought game and the graphics were awesome for it's time, really a forgotten gem
my fav series
That was an absolutely fantastic retrospective of the whole series, a really masterful piece of work. Now we want more!
I never understood the whole "not being able to run Crysis" thing. First time I played it, I had a really crappy PC: AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (below minimum requirements), Radeon X1950 (in AGP!) and IIRC 2GB RAM. Yet, I was able to run the game at about 30 FPS on minimum details and the game still looked pretty decent.
Fantastic Videos & Fantastic Channel, I really hope you don't forget about "Legacy of Kain, Mirror's Edge, Prince Of Persia, DmC" you are one of the best on what you're doing. Keep up the good work and have a nice day.
Really! The whole 'assault the ship in the port' in the early game was from this? I thought I'd dreamt the whole thing! It doesn't help that (I'm convinced) there's a similar mission in GR:Breakpoint (or similar) doing the same thing and I thought "I've done this before...haven't I?"
Awesome write-up though, loving them!
While flawed in some executions I got my money's worth with the Crysis series. I admit I am sad I may never wear the Nanosuit again, but honestly, I'm glad the series at least went out on a better note than some series. Thanks for the videos man it's nice to see Crysis get some recognition and love.
I recall the 8800GT being billed as a higher mid range card that could run crisis. It was the first card I built a system around back in the day.
Great video, to me Crysis Warhead was the last great game of the PC FPS shooter's golden age. I feel bad for new PC gamers that never experience what it was like to have AAA PC exclusive games that weren't dumbed down or help back in anyway all the series I use to love turned into shitty COD clones.
Indigo 99 I still would say that what crysis was going for was extremly close to what the last deus ex did. So i would say give that a go if you liked crysis for what it had to offer.
I played it, it was ok I like HR more then Mankind divided but still nothing compares to PC games from 98-2008.
great video man, Crysis changed my life, long live Crysis!
Great Video 👍 Would you do a video about the Killzone series?
I replayed Warhead twice more than the first. Funny how I always played it stealth and rush when I get busted instead of all-out action.
it will remain in history as one of the best modern old school game
Really an underrated piece of work. I easily enjoyed Warhead much more than the base game. Too bad it didn't get the attention it deserved.
Definitely cover fear. Loved the first and the non cannon sequels like extraction and Perseus mandate
You know, I think more Crysis games can learn from Warhead as a whole. I might consider using this as the baseline for gameplay with elements of 2 and 3 mixed in to add variety in a fan made framework.
The scripts you write are amazing
I played through the aircraft carrier segment and am now convinced that the enemies are not pretending to be frozen.
I walked through while cloaked, and they definately move around like normal enemies.
It seems actually impossible to jump down there without making enough noise to attract the closest guy.
I had that sneaking suspicion. Still, that's the effect it had on me, so I'll still give it credit.
You can kill the final boss without the PAX. In harder difficulties, he used to kill me quick if I tried getting close. So I sniped him from afar and took cover before he fires his projectiles rinse and repeat. You can use mounted minuguns and vehicles as well(he kills them easily but you can bail out.)
You can cheese it by running to the Hanger In front of the imprisoned ceph and safely fire at it with a machine gun mounted on a truck that is inside the Hanger and it can't do anything.
Yep. You can also sneak into the base pretty much up to the tower,only sniping a couple patrols that will spot you
with a silenced assault rifle and leave the NK forces pretty intact.
When the aliens arrive in force a fiere battle between them and the NK`s will commence. It gives you time to come very close to the hangar.
Just beat it on hard. Hella awesome game. Loved playing with all the different explosives. Now onto delta mode.
Come on, how many Crysis' have happened!
There's been 4 Cryses, every other crisis is just a basic bitch crisis.
Jesus Crysis!
Stormbull3323 4
Killzone 2 was basically a crysis, it blown minds away with his amazing graphics for its time
Going through Warhead on hard (on Delta soon) I found the car escort sequence with O'Neill to be nearly impossible. It was much easier to walk it, taking out the camps on foot, since They wouldn't fire at O'Neill.
I know this is late but the flying things are actually called ceph scouts
Decade ago when I played this game, at that train mission when the train stopped in the forest, boy I got scared looking at so many aliens.
Evergreen series crysis
The software engineers at Crytek were truly exceptional!
The tech that they had developed was leaps and years ahead of the competition...truly shows how talented and good they are!
I enjoyed this game despite not being a fan of the original trilogy. Great vid you summed up why I like this so much. But I always why you call it tactical game. It felt like a run and gun to me.
It's shit how warhead wasn't included in the remaster of crisis
2:20 start
5:08 Mission 1/2
9:13 train
11:26 snow
15:50 final boss
20:00 story
24:00 end
game is quite beautiful....love it
The description says to get the Steam release. Is there something wrong with the GOG release?
The last mission of this game was intense
Ah love seeing the old Crysis stuff. I spend waaaaaaaay to many hour in the level designer creating several MP maps. I even had a job offer from Crytek which was quite an honour. Turned them down as the pay was shit lol
pay = pay even shitty pay is pay. So you are shit lol.
Darksiders would be a fun one to see.
This year.
"Now in 2017 crysis is dead and buried, It'll likely never return" boi do I have news for you
just finished a replay of crysis 2 last night on my gtx 1080 , previously played it on a gtx 8800 ultra . Never had any probs running crysis 1 or warhead , both games rocked . I will replay warhead on my 1080 in a few weeks , after i finish the 3 new wolfenstein games which i have just started playing . A note of interest , warhead was not moddable , crytek did not allow access to its assets via the sandbox 2 editor , so it remained closed to modding , the excuse being it was a hybrid crysis 1 modded engine , and other such anti modding bullshit . All my memories of warhead are great , great vid , and i will replay it in a few weeks , thxs :-) forgot to say alot of modders wanted access to the moving train assets , and to make further train levels , which sadly never could happen (
Im just glad that crysis even existed within its own context. As it being almost a test bed for other companies on what and what not to do, I wonder every moment of every day if we will ever see another 'crysis' again. x3 1080ti's just barely braking 30fps at 4k at ultra settings. JUST IMAGINE THOSE GRAAAPHICSSS!!!!
Warhead was really good. It was like Crysis, but without all the annoying bits. And I don't know what it was about that train running through levels, but it was really enjoyable idea.
I think the developers purposely let Psycho's mask off to emphasize facial emotions
Crysis og is no longer a problem to run, I run that benchmark tool Balls to the Walls at 1080p and I'm getting 150 FPS on AVG and that's in the OG version, I do note that warhead does run better than its older brother
Train section is pretty easy really. Allways kinda felt like a shoting range with that heavy turret. You just gotta kill appearing enemies faster than they return fire.
Had no idea the first game had an expansion :0
