Suggest upping the predicted required spec for RAM to 1024MB at least - 512 isn't much for current games, this is a next-gen game with huge outdoor environments.

{{WikiProject Video games |class=B |importance=High}}

{{WikiProject Science Fiction |importance=Mid}}

:Why? That's what the predicted requirement was in the preview for it.

::I'd like you both to note that the current minimum requirements for a current generation game, TES Oblivion, are the same as the ones mentioned in this article. I suspect Crysis will be very scalable to various systems, so the ones mentioned here may be correct. They should be explicitly stated as minimums, though. It is only logical.

== Weapons ==

I suspect the 'XM2014' may be the [[Benelli M4 Super 90|XM1014]] as the article this name was taken from managed to call [[7.62 mm caliber]] ammunition '7.26'.

== Awesome game ==

The game looks so incredible, the graphics are mind blowing, this is so awesome,hopefully my rig will be able to handle it.

== Direct 3D ==

To whom ever or you wiki users that kept on changing the name from Direct X to Direct 3D.

This is wrong!

Because all site,infact every games sites says that the game is clearly using Direct X!

I would have provide the links, but can't be botherd because my broswer closed down, had to type this junk again!

:If the context was regarding graphics and visuals, then yes. Direct3D is the correct term. DirectX is the designation for Microsofts entire library of APIs relevent to multimedia.

:If you were talking about DirectX 10. The 'games websites' you refer to call it that because it's more marketable that way. At this point in time, only a graphics library has been identified, no audio, physics etc. Therefore that's why it is referred to as Direct3d 10.

:Regardless, it's still a technical term at the end of the day, just pointing it out. I would agree that it be left as DirectX so it won't confuse people.

== Fan sites ==

[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] - the high number of fan site links, all displaying the same content, are highly unnecessary. Anyone agree? [[User:Joffeloff|Joffeloff]] 20:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

RTsa: Sure, agreed. But should there be a link to any content? If so, who gets the honor?

:I think linking to a professional gaming site would be better. [[User:Joffeloff|Joffeloff]] 15:51, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

::I have to agree. This whole "I've gotta link to my page to get hits" is getting old. Wikipedia is not a place to promote your site. Please read the link posted by Joffeloff too; Wikipedia doesn't promote a lot of linking outside its pages.

::If the links only contain the same information, what's the point?

::[[User:Enfestid|Enfestid]] 22:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

:::You mean, from the perspective of the people adding the links? Obviously to promote their own site. [[User:Joffeloff|Joffeloff]] 22:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

::::RTsa: Then again, 'professional' sites like IGN or GameSpot are commercial. Should wikipedia link to those? (they have the 'pay to see it in HD') 22:43, 12 May 2006 [[User:80.223.78.164|80.223.78.164]]

:::::Lydia: This seems to be a common problem, there was a similar discussion on the TR Legend page a while back. The trouble is that offical sites are often not that good, as RTsa says professional sites are run to make money and if you have fan sites you will end up with a large number. I think if the links section is well edited, ie sites are described accuratley, then having fan site links could be a good thing. I looked at this page orignally to find good crysis fan sites, but now they are gone then people won't be able to look for links here. I don't think that there are so many crysis fansites yet that listing them will be too much of a problem.

::::::RTsa: How about we link people to www.justfuckinggoogleit.com for fansites? :P
