So, Crysis 3 releases on the 19th of February for North Americans and today marks the release of their BETA for the game. It has two game modes, Crashsite which resembles a King of the Hill gametype, and Hunter which is essentially Flood/Infection.
Free to download and check out, so I suggest people give it a whirl. Some of their additions are pretty interesting and could make interesting additions to other games. I love the map specific kill streaks reliant on a kill-confirmed method of picking up dog tags (which isn't new to the franchise but will be to new players) and their new personal killcams at the end of matches highlighting your own personal best kills.
Its not for everyone, but I enjoy the Crysis multiplayer suite. Its a refreshing, different gameplay experience than the other games currently rocking the multiplayer world. Plus, there are just some cool ideas present (hell yes to parkour and sliding in FPS games!) that would make excellent additions to other franchises or new IP's.

I've really enjoyed it. I recently unlocked the bow, and it's easily my favorite way of playing the game. The auto maximum armor needs to be reevaluated. It can make stealth kills with the bow a burden rather than an enjoyable experience. It shouldn't prove to be that much of a problem when I get good enough to put two arrows into someone, but at the moment I'm having a lot of trouble killing people with the bow due to auto maximum armor.
