Actual gameplay in a Crysis 2 trailer!

Video: No dramaz, no children's songs, no lame hints at enemy boss characters. At last, a Crysis 2 trailer shows us what we've been waiting for: gameplay.

The latest trailer for Crysis 2 finally shows punters a bit of gameplay of the new urban-based alien-hunting shooter. About time!

And not only do we get to see the game in action - and it's looking pretty good - but we get to see a handful of new gameplay elements, like stealth takedowns, the new alien race in action, and the big boss that was revealed to us in the last trailer, the 'pinger'.

And it's a lot bigger than we thought! That looks like a nasty beast. As opposed to the big alien dudes with shields, who look like they've been stolen straight out of Halo. Oh well.

For all that this is meant to be a more open and vertical game, it's still looking remarkably linear. We saw this level demoed live at E3, and the game world really doesn't seem all that open. Guess we'll find out later this year, when the game releases.

Just me, or does it look like the tank glitches around 2:05 - 2:10 when going through the door?

Looks more and more like a halo/modern warfare hybrid, but i guess it's hard for it not too. I really enjoyed crysis + warhead, hopefully the nanosuit will be just as fun.
Also if they can get buildings falling + destructing well... awesome.

I couldn't think of a better battleground than New York city.

Besides, I like Linear... keeps you planted in the right direction. Besides, with how massive New York is... it would kind of help.

Looks like they've stolen every single aspect of the game from some other FPS.

granted it's more akin to war of worlds tripods but doesn't that thing remind u of star wars chicken walkers XD
I'm a little disappointed 4 that to be the final boss given the fact of what prototype did 4 its bosses

i understand the crytec engine and design tools alow them to develop for all platforms in real time but i hope that they stil have a pc version that pushes my system to the mx...now that iv got one that runs crysis at full spec i realy want to 'need a better setup' so i can justify spending some more money.... :)
