Crysis 3

Crysis: It is August 14, 2020. A U.S. Special Forces team is inserted onto Lingshan island to extract an archeological team. The island is occupied by North Korean military forces under General Kyong. Scientists discovered something ancient, intelligent, malevolent, and not of this world. General Kyong wants it at any cost. An alien evil is awakened, and an invasion of the planet is underway.

Crysis 2: It is 2023 and New York City is under siege from contagion, earth tremors, floods, corporate intrigue, mercenaries, martial law, and rumors of alien occupation, making the metropolis a quarantine zone. The mercenary Prophet, encased in a top-secret Nanosuit that grants formidable capabilities, is dispatched to assess the situation but perishes and passes the Nanosuit to Alcatraz. New York has been targeted as the first step in the extinction of mankind. The Cephs possess technology that mankind cannot counter without equally advanced technology. Alcatraz receives the suit from Prophet and must battle both CELL forces, seeking to exploit alien technology, and the Ceph, seeking to expand their power and dominate the planet. The campaign takes place in the wreckage of New York City. The threat appears to have been neutralized in the end.

Crysis 3: It is 2047. CELL Industries personnel have manipulated Ceph technology, creating a global energy monopoly that has led to a population indebted to the point of servitude. CELL is toying with forces beyond their control. They have enclosed New York City under an enormous Liberty Dome, which contains the ruins of the city and a secret that could spell the extinction of mankind or the destruction of the planet. Because of the nanite technology fundamental in Ceph technology, Prophet has been resurrected. He joins a partisan movement combating CELL's excesses. They discover that the Ceph have awakened again, and mankind faces extinction if the alien agenda isn't foiled.

Tools of the Trade: This walkthrough advocates stealth, with at least 70% of kills using the Predator Bow. The cloak (a Nanosuit ability) remains a vital tool for effective stealth actions. Crysis 3 features a variety of weapons with numerous attachments and enhancements. You can carry only two primary weapons at a time, plus JAW rockets or R.E.X. charges, and fragmentation grenades. Weapons can be exchanged for dropped weapons or those found near ammo crates. When you acquire a weapon, press and hold “Select” to view its options, which can range from silencers, assault scopes, and laser sights to grenade launchers and alternate fire modes. An automatic assault rifle, for instance, may toggle into a grenade launcher. Weapons include sniper rifles, machine guns, pistols, shotguns, specialty weapons, and heavier weapons like JAW rocket launchers, R.E.X. explosives, grenade launchers, and mounted turret weapons like the HMG (Heavy Machine Gun). Prophet can also wield Ceph weapons like the Bolt Rifle or the Reaper Cannon. Not all options are always available on weapons; toggle through options to see what is available on a specific model. Some weapons have prefixes like “Stealth” or “Ranged.”

The Predator Bow: The most notable and useful new weapon is the Predator Bow. This hi-tech version of an ancient weapon can be fired through the cloak without an energy drain, is deadly, has four different types of heads, and arrows can be recovered and used repeatedly. Electric heads neutralize electronics, and explosive heads have the effect of a grenade. Regular arrows kill any normal enemy, human or Ceph. It is the perfect stealth weapon.
