People running full detail will seemingly be at a disadvantage to those running low, as on low detail it’s obviously going to be easier to pick out characters against the textures. I guess it remains to be seen.

In addition to the Crysis system requirements we have released yesterday evening, we would like to provide you with some ingame screenshots of a Crysis level. They show the different detail settings of the game, beginning from low up to very high. This should give you a good overview what graphic quality you can expect on your system.

Additional download as per Ivan: (Thanks Ivan!)?Ǭ† [ HERE ]

BIG NOTE:

Pretty shitty that they went with Yahoo Games on this one, as clearly their servers can’t handle the load. Had a hell of a time getting the download link to even work, and even then it’s sketchy. Had to restart it 3 times now, and yet again I can’t connect. Others are having the same issues, as indicated by the 65 pages of comments to this on www.charlieoscardelta.com

I guess I will just play the waiting game like everyone else…

From www.frontlineswar.com:

Mitch, Community Manager from Kaos Studios, posted a link on his twitter blog to a countdown which counts to December 1st. There’s no mentions of what will happen on this day but my guess would be that it deals with Frontlines: Fuel of War and starts with a B and ends with an A.
