I don't know about Europe, but in the U.S., we call it a BETA, not a BEETA.

@noah364 Seeing as "they" invented the language, us 'Mericans are wrong. But we're a lot better looking.

@noah364 It's funny. As an Australian, I read it as (phonetic pronunciation) "We call it a 'beeta', not a beeta."

@Monaro213 In the U.S. We say 'bay-tuh' or 'bay-duh', while from the sounds of it, you would say 'bee-tuh'. I'm not going to say it's wrong, 'cause it's not, but as an American, it does sound weird. There's another word, and I don't think it's an Australian accent, but what Hargreave's voice actor is in Crysis 2, he says data 'day-tuh' like 'day-ter'.

@NTM23 @Monaro213 Yeah, I lived in the USA for a few years, and I noticed there were a few words like that. Beeta vs Bay-tah, Day-tah vs Dah-ta, even zed(z) vs zee. Or my friends were Meg-an instead of Me-gan. I love language, and I just loved reading that despite the commentary :D

@Chaos_1990 I'm hooked on Hunter mode. Simply cannot get enough of it... a thousand times more badass than CoD's silly infected mode :P

I am puzzled why so many of these lame games are made. I think that there should only be 4 FPS franchises, 1: Borderlands, 2: Black Ops, 3: Bioshock, and 4: BF

@God-of-Gaming Well, you like Borderlands, Battlefield and Bioshock, so you're sorta redeemed. Crysis, though, is noticeably absent. As is Halo. And even Metroid if you've had even exposure to multiple platforms. I think you're just biased towards the letter 'b' though. In all honesty, if I was going to play CoD, it'd be Black Ops so you're not completely terrible, just mostly :P

Crysis 3 looks good too.

This game is shit, Crysis 2 with a new coat of paint literally, it might be worth it for the campaign if it has a decent campaign with at least 10 hours of Gameplay on 1 play through. I think i'll keep my money for the new Alien's game that's coming out at least that's something a little different to the table for a change, or wait for crysis 3 to be about 10£ because no way is this game worth it for the Multiplayer it sucks. On a positive note though graphics are better than Crysis 2.

I keep thinking back to that comment made by the studio about how Gears 3 and Halo 4 just looked ok. Both of those games look and play better than this demo on xbox.

I'm not really a fan of shooters or "AAA" games, but I borrowed Halo 4 from a friend and the graphics were absolutely stunning. Best I've ever come across on the 360. I doubt Crysis 3 will be able to match it. Which is quite ironic given Crytek obsess over graphics, leaving much to be desired in the area of actual fun, long lasting gameplay, as Crysis 1 and 2 proved. This new one doesn't look set to change that. Yet another bland, boring ,multiplayer-centered FPS, oh the joy! :/

Just finished playing it on PS3. Well. It looks good but it still have same problems that Crysis 2:

1. Unbalanced shotgun power compering to other guns

2. Very annoying killcams! Why can't they show what exactly happened?

3. Still connection speed is all you need to win.

After what I saw here I will not buy it on day 1. I'll wait as I'm still missing my "tooled up" trophy, and I want to be sure this one is not as broken and bugy as C2 MP.

I have now played the beta version of Crysis 3 online on both PS3 and PC with the PC version set on very high settings. Comparing the differences between the two I must admit that the console version looks really darn good. I applaud the developers in this regard. That said the console versions do suffer from frame-rate issues but not enough to detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. The PC version is the superior version no surprise there. The PC version has superior draw distances and the environment is more detail. Also the frame-rate is a lot more stable. Bottom line to those planning on buying Crysis 3 on a console instead of a PC. Here is my take. Based on this Beta so far you will not be missing much in terms of overall experience and presentation. For seven year old systems the console version stands up quick while to the PC version..

Played the beta on my PS3 last night. it was a lot of fun and looked pretty great visual wise too.. no problems that i saw.. even though multiplayer gaming isn't really my thing, and if i buy the game i probably wont play it online, ill just play the single player part.

@yomonkey Yes it can, I have a GTX 670 FTW and i'm running it completely maxed out with 2x MSAA and I get around 50 to 60 fps. The only thing i turned off is motion blur, because I just don't like that, however it gives a fps boost, with motion blur enabled the frames drop a bit, but still playable on extreme settings.

Been playing the Beta since yesterday, extremely fun, and much better than Crysis 2's Multiplayer. (Smoother and more satisfying) Highly Recommended

Could this be the next really good and intutive multiplayer to drag me away from Killzone 3..which I think is awwwweeeesssoommmee and the only FPS multiplayer worth the bucks!
