ok so i played a little more.
for so much hype about FUCK YEAH NANOSUIT 2.0 it's amazing how far you feel from a super soldier. i could probably get out of my chair and sprint faster than your supposed nano-badass. armor mode feels like shit and you take health damage in it regardless, power is stupendously lackluster, and cloak is about the only thing that feels remotely super. the mouse is floaty as fuck for whatever reason and fov is equivalent to having one eye closed at all times and having my gun butt duct taped to my cheek.
what is supposed to be an upgrade is somehow shittier than the original. one of the defining moments of the first game was when i hid in a bush with a 6 foot tall DRILLPRESS and pitched it like a fastball at a jeep that was passing by ultimately sending it flying off a cliff and into a nice rewarding fireball. strength mode here is more like kick a taxi expecting something cool to happen only to marvel as it slides 3 feet and does nothing exciting at all.
somehow they decided to remove the dev console but apparently failed to realize that you can use commands from it anyway from the launch shortcut. they stripped all the graphics options and left painfully non-descriptive substitutions instead. what does "gamer, advanced, and hardcore" even represent? you can guess but it's about as explanatory as having "truck tire, belt buckle, and glass dildo" as the options.
it's hilarious that crytek bitches so much about PC piracy and shit when all their PC only titles so far have literally been among the best selling games to have ever graced the platform period. i don't know what kind of comical numbers they honestly expect because they've done nothing but had success so far.
TLDR: CRY-ENGINE 3, PUSHING THE 2011 GAMING BOUNDARIES WITH GAMESPY, SCREEN FILLING BLOOM EFFECTS, MOBILITY SCOOTER LEVELS OF SPEED, AND BUILDING SIZED GUNS.
