Where were all you guys when the beta opened to the Non-Subscribers? I don't get it? Key's were available for a pretty good amount of time.

excellent, i was hoping that dx10 would provide a noticable increase in quality, unlike all the other dx10 games. ill check those trailers out. cheers.
and yeah, my interest was in the final build, not in the beta. i knew that the final game was going to be dx9 and 10.
watched both the vids... was kinda hard to tell the differences in the jungle one, because the gameplay wasnt a similar segment, so outside of motion blur (which dx9 can do anyway) i didnt notice anything hugely different in that vid
but the hunter one, hell yeah, that was amazing. i see what you mean by smoke, the flames all sparked up and reacted when it roared... quite amazing really... be interesting to see what the game does with particle effects and force interaction.

to be honest, Company Of Heroes Opposing Fronts actually has the best use of DX10 ive seen yet, and it deserves compliment for doing so. explosions look brilliant.

well, if you want to play crysis on very high with DX10 you'll need high-end hardware.
I think that was pretty obvious.
At least the recommended specs are realistic. Other games have recommended specs that'll still not let you play on high and minimum specs that give you 10 fps on low.

During his speech, Nvidia’s senior vice president Dan Vivoli let slip that Nvidia intended to "launch new hardware to coincide with Crysis’ launch." Vivoli didn't elaborate, but the rumor mill has been predicting that Nvidia would ship a new top-end GPU right before the holiday shopping season, just as they did with the GeForce 8800 last year. - Maximum PC

Looks like it might be possible to run Crysis with max or near max settings using these new cards if this information proves to be correct and the cards will be the high-end versions.

heres another question... got a hold of a key (thanx again, suil), and installed what i assume was an earlier beta... and... well.. did anyone else thing that the game didnt look that amazing? i mean it looked good, but compared to some of the vids and screenshots ive seen, and other games that are out/coming out, it didnt really look like the ultimate visual experience...
is this just because its it is a beta mplayer demo, or is this what we can expect in the final release? will dx10 visuals provide even better visuals (not just in terms of technology like smoke and such, but will the overall visuals look of a higher quality) ... because yeah, i played with everything on high quality and it didnt make me go 'duddeee... woooooaahhh...'
anyone else find this?

hmm I dunno... I'm playing on medium and I think it looks absolutely awesome and better than any other game. I tried it with everything on high too but I only had like 10 fps but I believe it looked as good as the videos and screenshots.
but yeah, very high is greyed out so the final version will most definitely look even better.
Plus the developers said that there's a lot of hidden settings that you can modify to make it look better as well, but those settings are hidden because today's highend hardware can't handle it properly and they'll enable those settings with patches as new hardware comes out.

chiv I think you've just seen so many screenshots and videos to make crysis awesome graphics seem less awesome. that screenshot looks great. the only problem there is that it's a screenshot of something that's not impressive. if you would take a screenshot of a jungle fight with a grenade exploding and some guys firing at you and shit it'd be just as impressive as the official screenshots.

The game looks pretty similar to your screenshot, I would take a comparison but the computer I ran the beta on is currently offline as I ran the ASUS update utility wich promptly killed the bios in it.
(Mentioned briefly on the ASUS forums but the manual, cd and website all recommended this update program, not much of a problem though, just need to wait a few days for the replacement motherboard to arrive.)

i know this is going to bring leo out again and all sorts of attacks (sigh) but on that building, you can easily see the jagged lines... almost looks like a poorly scaled image or something... antialiasing seems quite poor in the game, rather than the high quality stuff you see in other games, the aa in this just looks like theyve blurred the image...
im REALLY hoping that dx10 looks on a whole other level or something, or that many graphical and hardware features have been disabled on dx9 and for the beta, because everything on high at 1152x864 resolution, gets me only 32-36 fps!! i had expected the game to make full use of a quad core cpu, and that id atleast get higher fps than that, especially given that visually it seems to be equal, or slightly less visually impressive, as things like the recent medal of honor game and bioshock, both of which looked nicer, and ran far better hell, i think id almost go so far as to say oblivion's 'world' look and ran better. pop-up on oblivion seemed far less noticable than it did in this game too...
its weird, i dont know how i feel about the game based on the beta mp... i mean im not panning it or anything, perhaps hype and expectation have gotten the better of me, and games that have been released allready look and play as well and sometimes better than this did... i KNOW you cant really judge from a beta demo, but i cant help but feel a little hollow about the experience.... im really on the fence about whether or not to buy it... there looks to be so much potential here, and the gameplay IS fun, and the scope of the game is huge... im just concerned about how average the game runs on my system when it look like it does...
and for the record, i have 2gb of ram, quad core cpu, and an 8800gtx... so id hardly say i was on the low end of the systems required specs...
and before some smartass decides to just glance at my post and respond about how im trashing the game and complaining and so on... read my post first eh...
btw, surray, that screen didnt help, it actually reinforced my concerns about the games visuals!! i hope that the developers have limited the graphics in the mp just so they dont give everything away to gamers or something (however unlikely that sounds) - i mean look at the vehicles outline... it looks horrible.. same on the building... the while parking space lines as well look poor
