Welcome to this update about Crysis Wars EX. We are making good progress and therefore we start today with more regular updates that lead the way for the release of our 1.1 Content Update for your favorite Multiplayer modification.
EP-SPARC Rifle
In our first Monthly Update we introduced you to two of the new game modes: Crytical Hit and Team Crytical Hit. In these game modes players are equipped with one weapon only. Today we are finally able to introduce you to this new weapon. Fighters all over the world please welcome the EP-SPARC-3-5.
This electrically powered semi-automatic particle accelerating cannon is the newest invention of the Mc Tiller Martins Group. This weapon is very accurate and one of the most deadly weapons in the world.
There are two different versions available on the battlefield: The EP-SPARC-2, also known under the codename “Crytical Hit” is only available to nanosuit equipped elite teams. The reason for that is the experimental gas used in this weapon that was found first in the alien mother ship. This gas is boosting the human potential allowing soldiers to jump higher and run faster, but still has unknown side effects over time and so is therefore not required for the long run.
The EP-SPARC-3-5 is the latest installment of the SPARC series and is available to all nanosuit equipped soldiers. This was achieved by reducing the production costs for such a weapon. The experimental gas was replaced by liquid nitrogen and some other parts in the mechanic have also changed. The EP-SPARC-3-5 is thus not as accurate as the EP-SPARC-2. Moreover, the ice sparks generated by the weapon are smaller and therefore cause less damage on victims. While the EP-SPARC-2 is able to shoot unlimited ice sparks, the cooling nitrogen needs to be recharged after 5 shots with the EP-SPARC-3-5 Soldiers can attach a LAM to both weapons and can equip them with a scope of their choice (Reflex, Assault Scope, Sniper Scope).
