    It has been two years since I released my first big project covering the first Crysis game on this channel: a long retrospective examining one of my favourite FPS games of all time. To celebrate the growth of this channel, and to keep the promise I made in that video, it's time to pay Crysis Warhead a visit.
    I have fond memories of this standalone expansion to Crysis. It was developed by the Hungarian division of Crytek, who released it only around 10 months after the release of the first Crysis game in September of 2008. In a lot of ways, Crytek Hungary really understood what made the first game work as a First Person Shooter; incorporating those elements into their expansion. However, as we are about to find out, the game overall could have probably benefited from some more development time.

    Oh no... :( Now I feel really old. I remember thinking this looked so cool back in the day, but I barely got to play it because my older brother rarely let me try it out. It's half my life ago, god damn.

    My friend and I started calling it a Crysis moment whenever you would get randomly killed in a game by like moving logs or a item shifting unexpectedly because it would happen to us so much playing Crysis. You'd jump in a row boat and it would suddenly flipped and kill you, despite your super suit's best efforts to protect you.

    Loved Crysis Warhead, even more than the base game. It basically did what Crysis 2 failed to do, which was tighten up the gameplay without stripping down the mechanics. Plus, the frozen levels are still awesome to this day in terms of visuals and atmosphere.

      Do people still play it? If so I most def going to get it. I remember this from when I was like 15 years old and I thought it was amazing back then. EDIT: Never mind, I thought it was the multiplayer one. The one that is kinda like Battlefield.

    The suit is losing power fast on the train because the cloaking is projecting what is behind you. So you moving drains it faster, even when on train. But that was just my reading of the experience.

      I think the character building of bridge scene would be so much better if the North Korea soldier did not shoot at Psycho. In that case it would be a war-crime so it'l nice project that Psycho was really hurt by the death of that grunt. Also it would contrast great with the previous stopping of Oneil.

      Really strange.
      In the original game, you could activate the cloak while driving a jeep and the suit's power would drain very slowly.

    The term "standalone expansion" can't die soon enough. There is no such thing, it's either a standalone game (a spin-off) or an expansion, it can't be both, and Crysts Warhead is a spin-off. It doesn't "expand" anything on the base game, it doesn't even bring back all the content from the base game, which to me sounds like a pretty basic requirement when you want to "expand" on something.
