Last October, developer Crytek and publisher Electronic Arts allowed folks to download and play the full version of Crysis Wars for free for a limited time period. Today EA announced they are doing it again for the holidays. Starting at Noon ET on Friday, Dec. 19 and ending on 2:59 am ET on Dec. 29, the full version of the sci-fi multiplayer shooter will be free to play online.

The full version will include the two new multiplayer maps, Savanna and Frost, that were released today as part of the new 1.3 patch for Crysis Wars (you can download that patch now at Big Download). As with the last free trial, you will have to go to the MyCrysis.com web site and register to receive a key that will allow you to play the game online during the new trial period. Of course we have the full version already available to grab here at Big Download.
