Seeing as no party independent of NASA has ever documented evidence of the Apollo moon landings (at least publicly), I see this as a simple ploy to continue this legacy.

But hey, I'm one of those whackos who doubts we actually walked on the moon and to me, this just adds weight to that possibility since it seems to be further obfuscation. /back to ATS I go!

The really lame thing about this is they've told us they will not be continuing to patch Crysis because of this game being their new priority. In fact they canceled the continued development of the much anticipated 1.3 patch for Crysis.

This is a big slap in the face to everyone who bought Crysis with high hopes for it's multiplayer aspect and especially those of us working on multiplayer-focused mods for it. Even those who were just hoping to get more improved performance from a future patch - not yours.

EA seemed to pull the same shit with DICE and the Battlefield series, before this. BF2 expansions and then BF2142 were out before major issues with BF2 were ever resolved. Some of the same old BF2 bugs still exist in all of the games on that engine, today. We've once again been sold on continuing support that ended up amounting to nothing but too-few-patches and hosted community forums. At least DICE continued patching BF2. Crytek seemingly wants us to buy Warhead if we want the 'optimized' and presumably less-buggy CryEngine2. Still, given their track record thus far, I imagine many of the issues that plague Crysis will remain in Warhead. Then you can expect the next installment to end support of Warhead, just the same.

The sad thing is that this should, by most PC gaming standards, be an expansion pack, with the core game being updated with the revamped code and assets. The single player campaign is going to be parallel to the Crysis one, you just play a different character. Yet it sounds like it's going to be a full-priced title.

Personally I've despised EA for years and hate supporting them. I bought Crysis with a frown because of this. Now this. At least I know I wasn't delusional when I flamingly urged the Crytek people to sever ties with EA, once Steam went to free e-publishing.

I for one will not support this sort of bullshit. Boycott EA. Everything they touch turns to fail and AIDS!
