Unfortunately, the amazement started to dwindle once we started to actually play the level. As completely novel as it was at first, we found that we could run around the entire map simply killing people by hand, solely by flicking suit modes between speed and strength before the AI could catch up, then dropping behind a rock or tree and selecting armour in order to regain health. This brings us onto an important topic - there is no longer a need to go searching for medical kits (or really even be careful) as the suit regenerates your health instead.

Rinse, repeat and take on anything. After about half a dozen patrols and two villages later, it got more than a little repetitive - think of playing Counter-Strike with a speedhack that's controlled by using your knife. Yeah, it got about as boring as that could after about 15 minutes.

Time to take bets on chicken's survival of crysis sucking? :)

Sounds like it's not worth worrying about DX10 and Fista upgrade just yet then.
