They took it in the wrong direction and completely forgot about the 1st game by WITTGENSTEIN 06/17/2011, 8:01pm PDT
Sort of like how Far Cry and Far Cry 2 are completely unrelated. Only they tried to link the two together.

The cliffhanger for Crysis was great. There was another carrier battlegroup en route from Japan. Prophet and Nomad and the scientist chick had gone back to the island which was a polar wonderland. Things were looking like they would be even more insane than the last half of the first game. Instead we got a corridor shooter, CORPORATE MERCENARY KILLTEAMS (the Soviets of the 21st century), and a terrible TERRIBLE revamp of the aliens leading to a plot hole in the form of a nuclear strike (which worked SO WELL in the first game) at the end. When did the aliens start spreading disease? Wasn't their big schtick turning the land around you into a frozen ball of ice? WHOOPS, who cares!

New York seems bizarrely nonplussed considering an entire carrier group sank three years ago in the fucking South Pacific (or that there's bizarre crystal spires coming out of the ground). The worst part is probably the random radio DJ broadcasts you hear. "Holy shit, folks, I've got the lowdown on the secret piece of tech stalking our streets. And it's NOT property of Uncle Sam! Now here's Chopper Dave with traffic." "HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK ALIEN SHIPS FLYING AROUND ME FUCKING FUCK".

And most importantly, NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY on the Crysis staff thought to explain what the fuck happened in the South Pacific after Crysis 1 ended.
