[PC] Crysis 3 MP alpha

[Guest]

We received three invites to the multiplayer alpha of Crysis 3. If you guys have any specific questions, please ask them here. I know I'll be posting thoughts for the rest of the week, as I will have most of the day tomorrow to play.

When we interviewed one of the producers at Crytek for VSN Radio, he gave us some codes.

I played for about an hour earlier this morning. The game is looking pretty sharp to be an alpha build. The graphics are what you would expect from the Crysis series. As far as gameplay, I was dominating with the shotty but not as good with the sniper rifle or assault rifle.

The only thing that I don't like about it so far is that the alpha is only open until the 9th and I have a crazy busy week at work and home.

As Swarley said, we did a podcast with one of the guys from Crytek, and he sent us download codes for Crysis 2 and then the alpha beta codes as well. Bill met this guy at the Gamestop convention in San Antonio over the summer, if I remember correctly.

I might can hook you up with a key for Crysis 2. The alpha is going to be over in 72 hours.

Played around for about 30 minutes. Was not a fan of the beginning assault rifle. Liked the sniper rifle, but it's very hard in this game with people moving around quickly. The map, Museum, is solid, with plenty of small corridors, but also room along the outside for ranged weapons.

Still adapting to using a keyboard. Didn't get much time with any other PC shooter in some time, so that is where I am terrible. The Nanosuit is nice, but in MP you don't want it to be overpowered, and I don't think it is. It's not any different than the perks from COD4 and WAW, basic and to the point.

Origin ID? The 3 of us playing in the alpha should try to get online tonight.

ThomasTomasz, I am working 5-10 at our other store, and should be back around 10:30 EST.

My Origin handle is padman59.

I played a bit last night, and it was a solid experience. The default weapons are nothing to write home about right now, but they have plenty of time to balance those out for release.
