    Worth noting that the remastered versions have no multiplayer. There’s no bringing back multiplayer for Crysis 2 and 3, but the original Cryis Warhead is still available on GOG, where you can play old-school Crysis Wars multiplayer via LAN.

      Warhead was like Crysis 1.5, actually. But I have tried playing the original Crysis online a couple years ago and it’s possible. Not super convenient, but possible.

        For a game that old, “possible” is totally acceptable. I tested it on two PCs of mine on a LAN, and it works just fine.

          I wasn’t talking about LAN but playing online on public servers. And I wasn’t saying it as a bad thing, just tempering expectations. Iirc, you have to patch the game, then create an account for the GameSpy replacement. There were some stability issues, too, but if you find a decent server it was ok.

          But after all of that the main issue was, of course, lack of players.

      It’s too bad the servers aren’t still up. I loved Crysis Wars.

      Nope higher. Especially if you enable ray tracing which was added.

      IPC single thread performance matters most for Crysis because their complex AI especially is single threaded IIRC. Remastered didn’t do anything about that.
