Storyline

From Crysis Wiki

Set in 2020, Crysis' plot follows Lieutenant Jake Dunn—codenamed "Nomad"—a United States Army Delta Force operator. As Crysis begins, an American team of archaeologists are taken captive by the North Korean Army, just as they were making an important discovery in the South China Sea. The United States responds by deploying a team of Spec Ops—supported by the USS Constitution—who take part in the fighting between the United States and North Korea. Soon, though, it becomes apparent that the Koreans have large military installations. During this phase of the game, the setting is a tropical environment, similar to that in Far Cry, Crytek's previous game. Early on in the game it becomes clear that the Korean KPA isn't the worst threat as members of the special forces teams starts to get dragged into the deep djungels later to be found dead. When the spec ops leader Prophet gets captured by the unkown force and there's only two members left in the special forces team the US-army enters the scene to fight of the koreans but soon find themselves also fighting an unkown alien species.

At the end of the first section, the mountain at the center of the island begins to crumble revealing a two-kilometer high alien structure beneath the surface, out of which aliens begin attacking both the US Military and Koreans. Nomad enters the alien ship in this section and begins to explore the weightless environment, retrieving valuable information about the alien invaders, who periodically attack him. On exiting, the ship xeno-forms the area around the island by creating an ice sphere, flash freezing and killing every living thing within it. (Although Prophet was also found trapped within the sphere, but his suit was damaged and losing heat quickly. Thus Nomad has to escort him from heat source-to-heat source).

Nomad escapes the island, and makes his way to the USS Constitution. On board, the admiral reveals that he has permission to commence a nuclear assault on the island in a attempt to wipe out the aliens. However, the nuke only gives the sphere more power, and it expands and sends an army of aliens to attack the ship. The final battle takes place against a giant alien warship on top of the ship. Nomad destroys the alien ship, causing it to crash onto the USS Constitution, sinking the whole thing all together into the sea. Nomad manages to jump-ship onto the VTOL with Pyscho and Helena Rosenthal on it. Nomad insisted going back to the island to join Prophet while the Japan fleet is ariving to the vicinity in a few hours time.

Parallel to this game is Crysis Warhead. It primarily centers him on captruing KPA Colonel Lee and a crate which contains an alien (although it is disabled and did not self-destruct). Most of the game centers around attempting to capture this crate and bring it out of the island. It changes hands many times throughout the game until, finally, at the end Pscyho brings it off the island on a VTOL seemingly without pursuit. The game ended at this point.

[edit] Length

The entire single player campaign/story for crysis will last somewhere between 10 and 12 hours and the expansion Warhead will last approximately 6 to 8 hours depending if you rush through the game on the easier difficults or if you go stealthy on the harder difficulties . Crytek promises that the game will be very replayable and will give the player the tools they need to be very creative with the way they choose to play. However, some people criticize the campaign to be somewhat short comparing to other games. The short campaign was rumored that Crytek or EA had to cut the story short so that the rest could be fitted into the trilogy.
