Aliens in Crysis 2 will react to you, says Crytek

By Stephany Nunneley

Nathan Camarillo, executive producer for Crysis 2, has dished a bit about the aliens you will be fighting once the game is released.

Apparently, they will be just as formidable as you in your nifty nanosuit.

“Jumping across the level and sprinting, he’ll be able to do that as well,” Camarillo told CVG. “He’ll really challenge you. He scales buildings, he jumps over you. He’s tough.”

“There’s a big guy too, a kind of brute alien. The brute will actively try and destroy or invalidate your cover. If you crouch behind a car, he’ll know that it can be destroyed and will blow it up with his rockets.

“Enemies also react to the type of weapons you equip. If I’m coming at the heavy guy with a pistol, he doesn’t give a shit. But if I picked up a rocket launcher, and I fired it, he might take cover or try and side-step it.”

Crysis 2 is out later this year on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Pat spoke with Camarillo last month during the game’s unveiling in London.
