I asked a question in the middle of Crytek forum kindom. It seem Crytek did not aswer the question addressed directly to them but tons of Crytek and Crysis fans did by saying more than likely not. The Cryengine does not need an independance GPU as it is self dependent.

I am 37 years old, and I have been a gamer from since the time of Atari and Commodore 64. My favorite hobies are building computers, and moding/tuning turbo cars. The orginal Crysis was my first FPS PC game coming from the console platform. Prior to Crysis I played DDO, and lead raids with mixed guilds even though I was not married to one. I was always solo, and even so remained solo in the original Crysis to the end of Crysis Wars.

Before joining FWE I frequinted the FWE server from since the orignal Crysis.

I have not team lead in 4.5 years, so I might be a littlerusty until I become more acqauinted with my clan members themselves, and their Nanosuite skills and specialties. I am also a follower that will honor leadership. I am always open to hear different opinions and strategies.  People learn from me and I enjoy learning from other people. Stone sharpens stone.

I would like to see the FWE clan with more unity – the drive, the willingness, and brotherhood., most important having fun together. Yes we all have our own personal lives that is more important than the online life as a warrior. Home comes first before anything.

A clan is not a membership club, it's a dedication. We need you dedication for Crysis 2.

He will go for the Torent in C2

New Video just released today

http://www.mycrysis.com/gallery/trailers/crysis-2-be-strong-trailer

This more than likely is the PC game play version. There were two Non suite abilities that is not in the Xbox version

Ontime, I think we need a seperate post called "Crysis 2 Team Lead Applicants" that way we have one post for application and and votes if possible. Thanks.

Btw I have been MIA as I am preparing my taxes. I should be back online tonight. The other night I kept getting power surges at my home so I turned eveything off tha was affecting my cable modem and router.

I wonder what will be his new rpime weapon in C2 

I don't really know about the shipping but in regards to taxes, taxes are only applicable if the company HQ or its sister company or branch is located in the same state as you. EA has never charged me me taxes. Just like for example if you life in the same state as new egg you would get charged taxes.

Finally got my monitor. Will continue over on another post http://www.fweclan.com/smf/index.php?topic=389.msg2270#msg2270 

Finally....Now waiting for 2 x GTX580



Not done exactly, still have to hide wires, and replace some cause they were too short

Ok I think its time to put in my application. Its been some years that I have held back. I wanted to feel comfortable and the clan likewise with me. I have never been part of a clan before, so this will be my first.

What's to know about me ? Haha, pretty much everyone should already know about me by now for most, but I will still spill the beans. Of course Crysis was my first FPS game I have ever played on PC and is my favorite. I love gaming, and racing. Building computers and moding cars is my hobby.  I am 36 and live in South Florida.


I find the FWE clan to be mature as a clan, and together, and everyone is treated on the same level. No human being is perfect, we all have and will make errors. I think Crysis 2 will bring us even closer as it demands unity and team work.

I believe I have much to offer and to learn at the same time. Those of you that dont know me by now, come to the Crysis FWE clan server and introduce yourself with some bullets  .

Peace !

from Tweeter @Crysis today:

QuoteCrysis: At this time, Crytek & EA are glad to confirm that we'll be releasing a pre-launch Crysis 2 multiplayer demo on PC! Stay tuned for details.

everyone, I was able to get some game play on the Xbox demo release of Crysis 2 TIA. Technically PC players are not missing anything on the Xbox and you are going to gain a whole lot more.
As you enter the game there is no resemblance to the former Crysis. It is completely revamped. The sound affects and music introduction does get you hype. There is alot of what I call dark clayed or terminator tune like sound themes.
Took me a while to figure out the controls and what ability goes where. As far as on Xbox Cloak and Armor mode by default is the standard set abilities to the controller's trigger buttons. Speed and Strength modes are intergrated into the left and right analog sticks. Yes I got my you know what handed to me left and right. I believe alot of the players were using Keyboard and mouse to do the moves they were doing.
Here is whats new for us on all platforms. What would be called hacking on old Crysis is actually now part of the new Nanosuit abilites.

Strength mode is no longer standalone. It is interegrated in hand attacks and jump. The longer the hold on the button the greater the execution with limits,

In cloak mode, you can use speed mode, and strength abilites

In Armor mode, you can use speed mode, and stength abilities

Armor and Cloak do not combine

Combining these abilities does take a tole on your energy though.

You can graple wall ledges, and speed mode looks like how a vampire moves. FREEKY !

You cannot hear cloak anymore. The new Nanosuit is completely stealth. Shadows will give you away and abstract light reflection will also. However there is a custom class Nanosuit that can detect cloak by inferred in which you team players would find on their radar.

Run Sliding – a deadly and evasive move. Whoever perfects this ability will take lots of heads home. It's very hard to get an aim lock on someone perfoming this while sliding away, towards, or to the side of you. Naturally you will stop moving to try to get a better aim but that would be an error. Anyone with good eye movement / coordination with a mouse will own you all day. The counter move to a run slide is power jump while running.
Shooting someone in the back while they are running can hurt you extremely depending on the player you're attacking. If the player is running away from you and you are directly behind him shooting he can go into a slide and shoot in the reverse.

Graphics:

On the Xbox it was not all that great. Distructable objects have a limit to how much distruction you can do.  You can do a lot of damage to walls though.

The closer I looked it seems the true graphics in this game will be in 3D. The PC will with out doubt surpass the game consoles in graphics. Now, it was a demo so they may have reduced the graphics setting because the demo had to be downloaded.

What does FWE Clan need?

Being a clan you will have to work as a clan. You need a lead and you need to stick together. The solo stuff is out the window. Everyone cannot take the same class Nanosuit. A team with a variaty of Nanosuit custom classes will trumph a team that is only using one or two Nanosuit custom classes.
If you want to be the clan to out shine every other clan you must get rid of the solo mentality. One person's going off to do their own will put a whole team at stake.
You're going to need TS of course, and picking your lead who will say what need is and how to roll. I was stun by the leader ship with Xbox players and they held their ground. FWE clan should deligate the Nanosuit  custom class as starting point. Who is better at Sniping, Asualt etc

Nanosuit Combat Strategies:

Many of you who have played with or against me know how I play and what my strategies are. The new Nanosuit is just going to 3 fold those combat strategies due to the combo intergration.
I have expereinced some of you that only use one or two strategies, you going to have to raise this count. When engaged in front to front combat you're going to need Armor mode. I had the Xbox people going crazy because I wasn't falling on one or two shots. And I would take two or three of them to put me down even when I am horrible with anolog stick controll when it comes to FPS. Being that I couldn't aim shot to save my life I started punching people out forcing them to switch up their combat styles.

Update

My wife just bought me the UN46C9000ZF instead


Monitor is out of the way now, time to get 2 x GTX580

1 down one more to go and I will be Crysis 2 ready to go

I was able to convert some of the article to text below. I was in BestBuy today getting a laptop bag and there is was at the front counter. The link Image of the front cover is below in PDF.

QuoteThe original Crysis had a lot going for it: a slew of force recon marines,
a bevy of awesome weapons and an amazing piece of kit, the vaunted Nanosuit.
Realizing that the Nanosuit had a ton of untapped potential, the team at Crytek upped the ante by making the suit more than just a cool piece of equipment.
This time around, your Nanosuit is in many ways a character in its own right.
With that in mind @GAMER recently
made the trek to Crytek's studio in Frankfurt, Germany to get some hands-on time with the game, now in its final stages of development, and meet the team behind this much-
anticipated sequel.
By now most gamers are aware of the basic storyline behind Crysis 2. There's an alien invasion and the game's protagonist, Alcatraz, along with a select group of other force recon marines, are forced to battle between two distinct enemies,
the aliens who've invaded Earth and the Cell, humanoid opponents who, like the force recon marines, are also battling the aliens.
Of course this is an oversimplification of the Crysis 2 story. Crytek actually hired veteran sci-fi author Richard Morgan to write the storyline. According to Morgan, "storytelling is about
humans." To that end he used Hurricane Katrina as somewhat of an inspiration for the story surrounding a now-devastated NYC. In a nutshell, he wanted the game, similar to the Hurricane Katrina story, to be "not just the catastrophe,
but what happened afterward_-human inability to cope with the situation. Additionally, Morgan's theory around game writing revolves around the player being forced to play catch-up. Simply put, you're dropped into a situation that's already in motion
and as the game progresses you begin to figure out why the Cell is shooting at you when they should be shooting at the aliens.
Additionally, since Crysis 2 is "all about the Nanosuit," the suit itself is in many ways also a character in the game. As the game progresses you'll come to realize that there's a mystery
surrounding the suit that's not unlike the mystery surrounding Cell. As the game progresses you'll learn more about both, and may be surprised by what you learn. The Stomp is a move that lets you kill a number of enemies.
In stealth mode, you can easily sneak up on those unsuspecting enemies.
