Details for Crysis Warhead have emerged on Tiscali Games, a Czech gaming site. They're actually taken from the latest PC Gamer magazine, but hey... we're not quibbling.

The game begins with Nomad (the hero of Crysis) and Sergeant Sykes (a.k.a. "Psycho") parting ways, but follows Psycho until the two reunite on board the aircraft carrier. Warhead's storyline runs parallel to the one seen in Crysis and takes place on the other side of the same island. It will be much less linear and provide more of a sandbox feel. The incredible nanosuit returns and has all the same functions... along with a few surprises. The game's single player campaign, a completely stand-alone product, will last for 8 - 10 hours. Two new weapons (grenade launcher and double SMG) along with two new vehicles (Armored Scout Recon and a hovercraft) will be introduced. Both will be available in multiplayer games as well. Speaking of... there will be a new team-based MP mode that's much less complex than what was seen in Crysis.

As has already been mentioned, Warhead will have improved enemy AI, will be optimized to run faster, won't require DX10 for max details. The game's story and dialog is written by Susan O'Connor of BioShock fame. Finally, a Crysis 2 sequel will rely heavily on Warhead's sales. So buy this game!
