Also, slightly off topic, trying to recall, but what the hell was the story line of Crysis 2? (Getting mid-way through Crysis 2 is as far as I got into Crysis franchise before dropping it all never to look back). Aliens nuke NY? Then zombie suit/AI infestation? Corporate forces... Hargrove... no seriously, has anyone EVER summarized the plot to that shitshow of a game?
Full Crysis 2 story leaked!!!
Backstory
As seen in the first game, aliens start awakening in the earth where they have been sleeping for millions of years. One alien mothership happens to be under New York (the most famous city in the world, what are the fucking odds).
In New York there's a company called Crynet that is owned by Jacob Hargreave. He is pretty much Mr. House, an ancient dude kept alive by technology. He stole tech from the aliens a hundred years ago to extend his life and to build the nanosuit, which is essentially an alien supercomputer that fuses with the human body. Crynet is a military contractor and Prophet (your superior officer in the first game) worked with him to combat the alien threat until he quit because Hargreave is kind of an asshole.
The aliens release a plague called the Manhattan Virus that melts people down. Crynet's mercenary arm called C.E.L.L. gets hired by the Government to lock down Manhattan and contain the threat (they obviously fail). C.E.L.L. is kinda evil and they take control of the company from Hargreave for some reason I can't remember. Prophet fights both the aliens and H.E.L.L. but is infected with the virus. A squad of US Marines is called in to help Prophet.
Game storyline
You play as Alcatraz, a silent generic US Marine because Crytek wanted the Call of Duty audience. Seriously, just look at the "tactical map" loading screens with full voice acting and the way every map starts with your location and local time being written out on the screen. Tell me that wasn't ripped straight out of Call of Duty. Anyway, you get fatally injured in an alien attack before being rescued by Prophet. He puts you in his nanosuit since he's dying, and kills himself to let the suit fuse with its new host.
You start fighting C.E.L.L.O. as well as the aliens, and are contacted mid-slaughter by Hargreave. You decide to basically do everything he tells you to since you're a mute, 1 INT brute. There's plenty of QTE's. You also get infected by the virus, but by this time the nanosuit has started working on a cure. You pollute an alien virus-releasing spire (think 5G antennas that spread Coronavirus) with your cure and murderize all aliens in the block. The plan is to get you to the mothership and repeat the process at the virus source to blanket the whole city with the cure.
You're smoking a fat blunt when Hargreave calls you to his private residence. Expecting sex, you are jumped and strapped to an operating table. Hargreave doesn't trust anyone but himself to do the job and wants to cut the suit off of you (fatal since the suit is the only thing keeping you alive) and put himself in it. Your suit is powered down, but a secret backup program starts up, revealing that Prophet's "consciousness" lives on in the suit - the suit essentially mapped his brain and made a copy of it. The suit voice you've been hearing all game was Prophet's voice actor all along. What a twist!
You are rescued by the only female in the entire game and the residence is breached by the aliens. Hargreave gives you the "secret sauce" that you inject yourself with, it makes the cure stronger or whatever the fuck. Hargreave makes you swear to "not fuck it up" before blowing himself up with his compound and taking out some aliens.
By this time you're tired of reading this nonsense, and the US Government is tired of the situation. They plan to nuke New York, so you have to hurry to the mothership and release the cure. You hurry to the mothership and release the cure. New York is cleansed of aliens as one of Hans Zimmer's ~3 tracks play (it's ridiculous how game companies hire famous composers to make them a track or two, and then media and players all believe they composed the whole soundtrack). However the virus apparently kills you in the process, and the Prophet AI takes over the suit. That's what you play as in Crysis 3 - Alcatraz' corpse inside Prophet's nanosuit, controlled by the Prophet AI stored in the suit.
