Free trial promotion of Crysis Wars
At the time when Crysis Warhead was shipped for the PC version last year in the month of November, Crytek packed with it the stand-alone multiplayer component that was called Crysis Wars. Now, after 7 months, Crytek is in a hope to give Crysis Wars a boost of interest. It has announced recently that the multiplayer-only online game will be getting a free trial henceforth. This completely featured free trial will be available until 17th of April.

Texture Update Mod of Crysis Warhead
Players will now don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes in Crysis Warhead. The Sergeant Sykes is known as ‘Psycho.’ This is one of the most memorable characters from the Crysis.
These are more brash and also aggressive than the Delta Force squadmate Nomad. Gamers will now experience Psycho’s parallel story while in the events of the original game. Players will find that life on the other side of the island is more intense and explosive. They might have not imagined of such explosives.
Lucky enough, the Psycho’s Nanosuit is capable and he is well equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and also with new vehicles. This gives players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation.
Now the Crysis Wars features 3 multiplayer modes. Crysis Warhead will also include 21 maps, 6 new maps for TeamInstantAction and InstantAction, and even 1 for PowerStruggle. Crytek will also be having a support team that will be dedicated to meeting the needs of the Crysis Wars community.
Streamings game will work: Founder OnLive
Steve Perlman, the founder of OnLive, recently said to the media that the technology behind online streaming games will work.
OnLive was announced in San Francisco on this year’s GDC and will apparently revolutionise the way games are being played.
The service of OnLive will be subscription-based and it will stream games from a central server. The server will send video data to a software plug-in like a USB key, which will be viewable on a monitor or TV.
Now the product is in development for seven years, and it is partnered with some of the biggest names in the gaming industry such as EA, Ubisoft, Codemasters and Atari. The technology has been met with scepticism.
Steve Perlman has been disappointed by the critics that have said, “not yet seen the technology at work.”
He said, “We have nine of the largest game publishers in world signed up. They have spent several years in some cases actually going and reviewing our technology before allowing us to associate with their company names and allowing us to have access to their first-tier franchises.”
Streaming games will work
OnLive turns games into video data that is sent across the web world to a hardware add-on, or else a software plug-in, which decompresses the data back into video.
Many analyst says that it is a revolutionary video compression algorithm and custom silicon makes everything of such kind possible.
OnLive for many years has been in development and has even signed up content partners, including EA, Ubisoft, Take2, Atari, Eidos, Codemasters, Epic and THQ
The subscription service of such kind will feature such games as Burnout, Fear 2, Tomb Raider: Underworld and Crysis: Warhead.
Mr Perlman, who is leading the early developments into video streaming service QuickTime while at Apple, said to the media recently: “We have nine of the largest game publishers in world signed up.
Streaming games possible by 2013
Recently the news was there that streaming games will be available soon… 2013. Crytek revealed that it has considered the possibility of a streaming game service such as OnLive or Gaikai before, but the company has abandoned the idea due to some technological limitations.
Cevat Yerli, CEO of Cryteck told to the media, “We had our research in 2005 on this subject but we stopped around 2007 because we had doubts about economics of scale. But that was at a time when bandwidth was more expensive.”
the high-speed connections needs to be more cheap or reliable enough so that it works, in Crytek’s estimation: the company determined that a streaming service of the game may be possible sometimes between the year 2013 and year 2015. 2013 and 2015 is also the approximate period in which most consumer PCs will begin to be able to run Crysis. Cevat Yerli also said to the media that such services must rely strongly on broadband providers.
