The new standard is to offer new and improved features such as lambda functions, concurrent programming functionality, direct data field initialization, and an improved standard library to but a few.

Submission + - CryTek for Free: CryEngine 3 SDK and Editor (operationreality.org)

Submitted by Samfer on Tuesday April 26, 2011 @12:20PM

Samfer writes: [...] sometime this summer likely around August, we will see the appearance online of both a Crysis 2 editor and a CryEngine 3 SDK (software development kit). This not only means that people will be able to make full blown new levels for Crysis 2 but that the CryEngine 3 will also be made publicly available to the development of non-commercial projects to the community at large. To quote, “This will be a complete version of our engine, including C++ code access, our content exporters (including our LiveCreate real-time pipeline), shader code, game sample code from Crysis 2, script samples, new improved Flowgraph and a whole host of great asset examples, which will allow teams to build complete games from scratch for PC.”

You should check out Operation Reality if you want military style shooter immersion. They also leave the ability to use third person view.

lol no kidding. This guy should really check out Operation Reality if he wants to review a proper military simulator and not some ridiculous arcade shooter with way too many cut scenes and hollywood special effects!

I agree, I've had some bad experiences with some games of late (eg. Milsim series) where the developer continuously is releasing botched patches in the hopes of pressuring its user base to purchase DLC's for a game where the majority of the mod / grass roots produced content is already on par if not better than the DLC content itself. That's why I make sure to personally support community's like Operation Reality when it comes to milsim series because they don't fall into the pressure laid out by certain developers as the majority out there seem to. You know, the whole "because the developer" releases and markets it means it is a "must have" for a particular game, or because it costs money means it somehow must be of better quality than community released content. Bah, gimme a break!
