Maximum Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008!
Christmas Note
Now that Christmas is here and we are seeing another year coming to its end it is time for our beloved Crytek Christmas message. It has probably been the most exciting year since FarCry has been shipped. Not only that we relaunched our Crymod Modding Portal for our new blockbuster FPS, we also finished Crysis which has been in development for about four years.
It was an exciting year with lots of ups and downs, but we are more than happy with what we achieved. Even more are we proud of the great community we have, that is supporting us and giving us so much excellent feedback!
On behalf of the whole Crytek development studios in Frankfurt, Kiev and Budapest and the entire Crytek Staff we wish the whole community Maximum Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008!
Crysis Tournament Map Pack
Of course we have prepared a little Christmas present for you as well. Within the past few months and weeks we haven't been working on patches, SDK and Linux Server only, but also our Level Designers have been very active. Thus we are happy to announce you the release of the official "Crysis Tournament Mappack".
Some of you might know this map pack series from FarCry already. We wanted to continue it for Crysis and have turned it into an official map pack that is being developed and approved by Crytek.
The package includes 5 brand new multiplayer maps for Crysis. All of them have been tested by Crytek's QA department and the professional Crysis teams [00] - Die Doppelnullen, GT - GlobalTeam.eSports and N! - Ninth Gaming.
Following maps are included:
PowerStruggle - Desolation
Location: Henderson Island, Pitcairn Islands. Under North Korean domination.
Description: The long deserted colony of the Pitcairn Islands was one of the last crash sites to be discovered. The KPA reached the area first and set up a base amid the swampy wasteland.
PowerStruggle - Crossroads
Location: Pescadores, West of Taiwan. Under North Korean occupation
Description: nCaught between two hostile nations, the tight forested roads and tracks of the Pescadores are better suited to infantry than vehicles.
PowerStruggle - Training
Location: Namu Atol, Marshall Islands. Under US control.
Description: The Marshall Islands provide the perfect platform for new recruits to learn the skills required to be the ultimate nano-warrior. Here on this tiny atoll the small, but expertly designed, training area provides everything a budding soldier needs.
InstantAction - Excavation (Note: If you have installed an earlier version of it please remove it completely before installing this map pack!)
Location: Pago Pago, American Samoa.
Description: Under US control. An American stronghold, and location of one of the most valuable research sites so far discovered, the Koreans stole a march on the Americans to set up a surprise forward attack base.
InstantAction - Terminal
Location: Moorea, French Polynesia.
Description: An old military railway terminal has been converted into a multi-zone training facility. Rooftops are critical to maintaining dominance over the immediate combat area. Multiple advanced weapons have been hidden around the engagement area to facilitate field response to rapidly changing conditions.
Both the two InstantAction and three PowerStruggle maps have been tested over several weeks and are optimized for competitive gamelay, but also provide a valid size for public gaming.
Quite a few of the Trusted Server Providers of Crysis have already set up multiple servers that are running the map pack. Just check them out online and enjoy the new maps!

Sandbox2 Documentation
In addition to the map pack we also want to provide you with a whole bunch of new tutorials about the Sandbox2 Editor and its capabilities. They are going to be released within the upcoming days, so better check the Modding Portal regularly to not miss the latest additions to the official documentation.

Very impressive package. I guess that's a larger present than anyone would have expected.
Thank you Crytek.
Now please make the game itself enjoyable again as well.
Happy holidays!

oh alex
thx for this. 5 maps. wonderfull
<edit>also thx Crytek 
almost forgot
i gotta short question/tip
could you (whoever) when you update the documentation make the frameborer set to "1"
so anybody can change the framesizes (they don't fit very well on 1280x1024)
would be just a minute in the index ;-)
thx
c ya
