Crysis 2's Cover Mechanics Are Terrifying in Third Person

​

​

In 2011's first-person shooter Crysis 2, much of the gameplay involves taking cover behind barricades and popping up to shoot enemies. This takes place entirely from the first-person perspective​

e, though--there's no third-person cover like in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.​

Now, we know why we never should play Crysis 2 in third person. Reddit user tasonjodd posted an animated GIF of an external view of the game's main character popping in and out of cover, and the results aren't pretty.​

If this image is any indication, his spine and neck are elastic.​

Of course, this isn't a ridiculous oversight on the part of developer Crytek--you were never meant to see this. A user modified the camera to get it to capture this scene, but that doesn't prevent it from being any less humorous or haunting.​

​

Recent times haven't been as light-hearted for Crytek. Several reports have claimed that employees at the UK branch of the studio haven't been paid. According to reports, the director on Crytek's upcoming game Homefront: The Revolution also recently left the studio following the departure of 30 employees. Keep an eye on GameSpot for more Crytek news as it becomes available.​
