Crysis 2: What I liked and didn’t Like about it | Action Packed Game Aspects

Posted: 13 Apr 2011 12:50 PM PDT

Crytek with EA comes with a new release of Crysis. The last release was action packed game with stunning visual experience and a good storyline. Not only that, the game became the benchmark for all high-end rigs. Crysis 2 has lived up to the expectations with its stunning graphics and much better storyline.

Crysis II Story Line

The game is set in 2023 portraying new york city under the attack. Like many games it has something to do with virus being spread throughout the city causing mayhem making the city go under martial law followed by an alien invasion which makes things even worse. We play as Alcatraz a marine who gets the suit from the infected Prophet.

The suit makes you a futuristic warrior giving you the ability to jump to greater heights,a cloak that makes you invisible and a massive armor bonus that saves you from major damages. Each of these abilities drains your suit energy level to a certain extent but it's not much of a problem as the suit gets recharged pretty soon. The suit also provides tactical options in combat to help you eliminate your enemies efficiently.

The Good:

Great campaign
Multiplayer support
Stunning graphics
Tactical option in combat.

The Bad:

No support for DirectX 11
Boring starting missions
Poor AI
Some online troubles.

Make Windows 8 Bootable USB Pendrive easily with SBB Tool

Windows 8 Build 6.1.7850 was just leaked for download and now available on almost every torrent and file servers. If you have managed to get hands on it, you will definitely like to give it a try.

You can either use it with a virtual machine or install it separately on a disk partition. If you are using a virtual machine you will be able to use the iso file directly to install it. But if you plan to install it without using a virtual machine then the ISO is needed to be burnt on a DVD.

If you do not want to waste a DVD for this Windows 8 release which is more or less similar to Windows 7, then you can boot it from pendrive. Methods used will be similar to the ones used earlier to make windows 7 pendrive bootable. If you find it difficult and want simpler tool then Windows 7 SBB Tool can be handy.

I tested SBB Tool in making Windows 8 M1 pendrive bootable and every thing went smooth. Basically the Milestone 1 is just a simple modification of Windows 7 and you may not find it worthy enough to waste time for.

Using Windows 7 SBB tool is extremely simple to use with only disadvantage that it cannot use iso files directly. You have to extract the ISO and point it to the application. Then you can select usb stick and sit back.

Although the tool was meant to be used for Windows 7 but it works seamlessly on Windows 8 installer too. Not just Milestone 1 but we expect all future versions including the Windows 8 Final build Bootable USB can be made using SBB tool.
