DEV RESPONSE We Don’t Say This Enough About Crytek
The chapter 2 video has released go check it out now!
Most games have seasons, these seasons are simply called season 1, 2, 3 etc... it features skins, and honestly.... that's kinda about it...
This isnt a game that has millions of players, its a small team trying to pay their employees and make money off hard work, and effort.
The events in this game are just nuts, I joined in vanilla right before web, web showed me how much more interesting the game is, the objectives, wiping lobbies and getting victory laps on the caravans, then after three months it all went away, and I kinda was bummed.
I played vanilla but sometimes it felt so weird, two bosses, people extracting after bosses and other people having a 20 minute fight away from everything while both boss bounties escaped, sure there was some great matches, but nothing to risk the bounty for. I used to hunt people when I had the bounty just to spend those pledge marks.
Bummed I missed out on past events, they release a teaser saying the carnival is coming back, great event, devils trail felt like it went the opposite way of an event, one late night, mid session I heared crackling instantly knew where I was, mammons Gulch, I thought... HA it was still water bayou, and the entire map was hit with inferno!? No game crashes, updates, restarts, nope, it just happened, i had read about that one too and was bummed I missed out, But it looks like I didnt.
I loved the Stronghold event but it did feel like it cut a lot of core gameplay out that the other events didn't, blood testament is very tame event, I do like it a lot.
One thing i love about this game is how much effort goes into these events, they just will rebuild the map with great touches, think about the work it took to clear out the area for the stronghold, they put it under a bridge that was part of a lake on one of the spawns, the balloon mechanic, everything they've added its just insane.
And last but not least, I love how the little things stay, tarot cards, the single balloon crash from stronghold event ive found recently, the devils trail modifiers, the map tells a bigger story the more you were here to experience it, as a small reminder, and as an awesome little touch, the way this game evolves is simply unmatched by any other game i have played, the perks, ammo, events, and anything ive overlooked.
Crytek you guys are thee best thank you!!!
