Crysis Wars Trial Weekend
As many people will know, this month we hosted our first ever trial weekend for Crysis Wars. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and it was really easy to find a packed 32 man powerstruggle server where everyone was having fun.
The weekend saw not only the Wars free trial weekend but we also offered you the chance to meet up with and play against our devs for 6 whole hours on Friday 10th October. We definitely had a lot of fun, and we really hope that you guys enjoyed being able to play against the developers and creators of the new maps featured in Crysis Wars.
Crysis Wars Play the Devs
We we’re really pleased with the turnout and we even spilled over into the Crytek Test Server to give all those people who were queuing up and extra chance to play against us. Many people in the community have proudly displayed their screenshots of us at the Crytek office being owned by them, although it was rare.
We’ve compiled a list of news pieces below, all of which relate to the trial weekend. Thanks once again for all those of you that took part in the weekend, we got some really valuable feedback and had a lot of fun, and hope to see you all posting on the forums and being an active part of the community in the near future.
