It seems EA didn’t learn from Spore Piracy fiasco, the company’s now becoming almost trademark-esque Online Activation will come embedded in Crysis: Warhead, too. Crysis’s game designer shed some light on the DRM situation, confirming the game will indeed limit Installs:
Just to get that clarified, you can install warhead as often as you want on your PC as long as you do not make major changes to your hardware or re-install Windows.
So you can activate the game on X different PC’s, whereas the number has not yet been clarified in the end, but you can install the game as often as you want on each of the PC’s.
- Alex
With Crysis: Warhead getting Steamed, everyone is anxious to know if the Steam version too, will limit activations, as was the case with Steam version of BioShock.

CryEngine 3 Info Revealed

Despite the inconsistent (probably the best way to phrase it) response Crysis received, it’s still a brilliant game - atleast on technical standards. But that’s that, what does the future hold for Crytek and their CryEngine game engines? Cevat Yerli sheds some light:
Yerli says “the future will start” for Crytek in 2009 when they begin to develop CryEngine 3, “but will only become visible in 2012.”
Alright, so CryEngine 3 will be so powerful that it’ll bring Apocalypse? On a much more serious note, let’s hope the algorithms of the engine are optimised better and it doesn’t become far too advanced for the future hardware it’s suppose to run on.
