History VideoGame / Crysis3

* CloningBlues: Prophet has a hard time accepting that he is not the "real" Lawrence Barnes. Several people treat him as the same, but often still point out that he is really just Barnes' old suit.

* LateCharacterSyndrome: A ''firearms'' example occurs in the FY71 assault rifle (the same one used by the North Koreans in the original game), a standard assault rifle which doesn't show up until the 2nd-to-last level in the game, at which point you already have access to much more powerful endgame-level weaponry such as the Grendal battle rifle, Mod 60 machine gun, or even heavier hitting special weaponry such as the Gauss rifle. The FY71 mostly only exists as a CallBack to the original game, and for multiplayer use.

* ArmorPiercingAttack: The K-Volt's electrostatic pellets effectively ignore armor. They'll zap away your nanosuit armor like the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' plasma rifle, and cut through the heavy armor of the Scorchers allowing you to kill them in less than a single mag. They also ignore the armor of Devastators and Pingers, although since these enemies have high health in addition to their armor damage resistance it still takes quite a few shots to bring them down. Unlike ''Crysis 2'', it now uses special ammo and thus ammo for it is a bit harder to find. It's also harder to find after the first couple of levels, so you might want to hold onto one when you get it early on.

* {{BFG}}: Crysis 3 sees the return of the L-TAG (read oversized grenade launcher), the X-43 Mike (read directional microwave gun that cook enemies alive), The Heavy Machine Gun, and a newer version called the Automatic Grenade Launcher. This applies to pretty much ALL Ceph weaponry.

* EliteMooks: The shielded Ceph Commanders from ''Crysis 2'' have been replaced by Ceph Reapers, who lack the recharging personal energy shields of the Commanders, but have twice as much health as a standard Ceph Grunt instead. They're armed with the same semi-auto energy rifles the Commanders used, though.

* FollowTheLeader: ''Crysis 3'' was one of ''many'' action games in a long running series that, in the early 2010's, suddenly incorporated a bow and arrows as a core combat mechanic.

* QuantityOverQuality: The Typhoon (which is effectively a minigun in a combat rifle-sized form) has quite poor accuracy for each individual bullet, but the rate of fire is so insanely high it doesn't really matter.

* ActionGirl: Intel items in the game say that there were several female nanosuit users deployed during the Lingshan Incident.[[spoiler: Unfortunately, they have all been killed or captured/skinned of their suits by C.E.L.L. A single female nanosuit soldier, Lotus, is simply listed as M.I.A., which may have been one of the many future plot threads the game drops that were never picked up on again.]]

* ArmorPiercingAttack: The K-Volt's electrostatic pellets effectively ignore armor. They'll zap away your nanosuit armor like the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' plasma rifle, and cut through the heavy armor of the Scorchers allowing you to kill them in less than a single mag. They also ignore the armor of Devastators and Pingers, although since these enemies have high health in addition to their armor damage resistance it still takes quite a few shots to bring them down.

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Psycho and Prophet mostly go by their code names, but start using their real names in certain stressful situations.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The Cell Enforcers are described as Cell's most heavily armored troopers, equipped with powerful support weapons and the heaviest Level VI (in real life body armor rating maxes out at Level IV) armor available. However, they can only resist about 1 or 2 more bullets before dying compared to regular Cell troops (their most impressive feat is requiring 2 sniper rifle torso shots to kill), and are a far cry from the HeavilyArmoredMook enemies from most other games. In real life, even the best body armor in existence can only provide so much protection, and won't be able to resist more than a few assault rifle-caliber shots to the same area.

* BrainUploading: Nanosuits copy the personality and memories of their wearer, eventually replacing them completely without fully realizing that the original user is gone.

* AbnormalAmmo: The Typhoon is a small minigun the size of a standard combat rifle. Each barrel is its own magazine. It can fire all of its ammo in just over a second and it doesn't even fire bullets. It instead fires small pellets.
** The same goes for the mini Typhoon weapon attachment for other weapons.

* CharacterDevelopment: Psycho undergoes a bit of this due to having to deal with being "only human" against forces that are far beyond humans.

* BookEnds: [[spoiler: The ending has Prophet falling into the bay of Lingshan Island that Nomad fell into at the start of Crysis 1. Then has Prophet, now assuming the form and name of the original Lawrence Barnes, retiring and living on the island.]]

* AnimatedArmor: [[spoiler:This could be called Animated Armor THE GAME! A major story element is Prophet coming to terms with who/what he is, since the original Major Lawrence Barnes commit suicide in New York 20 years ago; and Alcatraz, the Marine Barnes gave the Nanosuit to, is little more than the corpse that keeps the nanosuit human shaped, his personality having been lost at the end of Crysis 2. All nanosuits eventually copy the memories/personalities of the user, while consuming their physical bodies to be turned into more nanites for the suit.]]

* BFG: Crysis 3 sees the return of the L-TAG (read oversized grenade launcher), the X-43 Mike (read directional microwave gun that cook enemies alive), The Heavy Machine Gun, and a newer version called the Automatic Grenade Launcher. This applies to pretty much ALL Ceph weaponry.

* ActionGirl: Intel items in the game say that there were several female nanosuit users deployed during the Lingshan Incident.[[spoiler: Unfortunately, they have all been killed or captured/skinned of their suits by C.E.L.L.]]

''Crysis 3'' is an FPS video game created by Crytek, and is the sequel to Crysis 2.

The story, written by Steven Hall (best known for his novel The Raw Shark Texts), is set in 2047 and involves Prophet returning to New York to find that C.E.L.L. (the human antagonists from Crysis 2) have nearly taken over the world, the ruins of New York have become a literal urban jungle, and the Ceph are possibly on the verge of returning.

Crysis 3 is a return to form toward the original open ended gameplay style of Crysis 1 after negative feedback over Crysis 2's more linear level design. It attempts to mix linearity and openness via linear sections that lead between large, open "arena" type areas.

Crysis 3 was released on February 19, 2013.

!!This video game series provides examples of the following tropes:

* AbnormalAmmo: The Typhoon is a small, minigun the size of a standard combat rifle. Each barrel is its own magazine. It can fire all of its ammo in just over a second and it doesn't even fire bullets. It instead fire small pellets.

* ActionGirl: Intel items in the game say that there were several female nanosuit users deployed during the Lingshan Incident.[[spoiler: Unfortunately, they have all been killed or captures/skinned of thier suits by C.E.L.L.]]
* AnimatedArmor: [[spoiler:This could be called Animated Armor THE GAME! A major story element is Prophet coming to terms with who/what he is, since the original Major Lawrence Barnes commit suicide in New York 20 years ago; and Alcatraz, the Marine Barnes gave the Nanosuit to, is little more than the corpse that keeps the nanosuit in the a human shape, his personality having been lost at the end of Crysis 2. All nanosuits eventually copy the memories/personalities of the user, while consuming their physical bodies to be turned into more nanites for the suit.]]

* BFG: Crysis 3 sees the return of the L-TAG (read oversized grenade launcher), the X-43 Mike (read directional microwave gun that cook enemies alive), The Heavy Machine Gun, and a newer version called the Automatic Grenade Launcher. Let us not for this applies to pretty much ALL Ceph weaponry.
* BigApplesauce: Yep, we are back in New York! Except now its a dilapidated, overgrown, swampy ruin. So I guess its more like rotten Applesauce.

* BigBrotherisWatching: C.E.L.L. have this to a T.
* BigDamnHeros: How the game starts, with the resistance members coming to free Prophet and killing anyone in their way. Bonus points for the distraction to cover the escape being blowing up half the docks.

* ClingyCostume: Nanosuits are extremely hard to remove from the wearing, with the majority of removals resulting in the death of the wearer due to shock.

* BroughtDowntoBadass: Psycho was stripped of his nanosuit before the game started, a turn of events that provides him with alot of rage and angst. While it often regulates him to support roles for Prophet, his feats repeatedly remind you that he has serves in BOTH the British S.A.S. and the U.S. Army Special Forces. [[spoiler: In the Epilogue, he shows that you don't need a nanosuit to become an apex predator.]]

* BrainUploading: Nanosuits copy the personality and memories of its wearer, eventually replacing them completely without fully realizing that the original user is gone.

* CassandraTruth: Noone would listen to Prophet when he told them that the Ceph are coming back, and that C.E.L.L.'s energy generator has something to do with it. He was proven completely right.

* CharacterDevelopment: Psycho undergoes abit. Him having to deal with being "only human" against forces that are far beyond humans.

* Artistic License-Military: In the multiplayer, pouches on the U.S. military nanosuits read "U.S. Army Specops", yet all the emblems on the suits and pouches are from the Marines.

* ActionGirl: Intel items in the game say that there were several female nanosuit users deployed during the Lingshan Incident.[[spoiler: Unfortunately, they have all been killed or captures/skinned of thier suits be C.E.L.L.]]

* AnimatedArmor: [[spoiler:This could be called Animated Armor THE GAME!
