Over at InCrysis.com, some interesting footage appeared - a detailed map of a designated combat zone for all Crysis MP enthusiasts.

Go see for yourself... 

We're quite proud to announce that MechWarrior: Living Legends has been featured on two large IT- and gaming-related news sites, namely Shacknews and G4TV . 

Here are the links directly to the articles:  

 G4TV: MechWarrior Crysis Mod gets Go ahead 

Shacknews: MechWarrior Crysis Mod Given Legal Clearance  

Various community sites reported yesterday, that the Crysis SP demo has been pushed back for about a month to the 26th of October. The official Crysis website does not confirm this yet and neither do any official EA forums.

Here's the sound of the announcement, said to be straight from the desk of  Cervat Yerl, CEO of Crytek:

 Hi everyone, we have some news to announce.

First, I am sorry for the bad news - the Crysis single player demo will now be available everywhere on October 26th, 2007.

We are taking some extra time to make sure you that you have an amazing experience but also we did not want to risk the release date of Crysis at this stage. To get the game into your hands by November the 16th, we had to make this call.

Now the good news - the big surprise. The SP demo will be released with our CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor, giving the community the opportunity to get familiar with the vast amount of tools they will have at their disposal four weeks before we ship, something we have always wanted to do.

This is an exciting time for us at the studio as the development of Crysis comes to an end and we are only a few weeks from Gold Master. We appreciate your patience and are looking forward to getting Crysis into your hands on November 16th.
