But there is a good side of this, too. They will release the cryengine2 editor with the demo, I`m dying to get my hands on this and try some modding..
the beta runs ok on my machine at 1280x1024 mostly maxxed out.
Including the sandbox2 thing doesn't compensate the delay. Even the Modders would be happy to play the Demo next week and getting the editor in November than waiting another month for the demo to be released with or without sandbox2, knowing it could easily be delayed again.
(edit) The crysisdemo site knows about the delay, its posted in their news section but they're not going to update timer until an official announcement:Guess the demo site is made by some Crysis fan and not from Crytek/EA themselves.
I say, get the game done, get it done RIGHT, and party down on the full version.
i'll take him hostage so no one else can play it:p only meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
