It’s rare for a sequel to be surrounded by even more uncertainty than the first game in a series, but Crysis 2 has managed to pull off just such a hat trick. For one, the game is having something of an identity crisis itself, attempting to walk the line – or gulf, really – between lowest-common-denominator console games and bleeding-edge PC titles. And how about the new setting? Concrete jungle though it may be, New York’s not exactly a tropical island.
Fortunately, you’ll have a chance to answer those burning questions without burning right through your paycheck. Through the relaunch of its MyCrysis service, Crytek’s confirmed that Crysis 2’s getting a beta test.
“Looking to get your hands on Crysis 2 early? Now is your chance! Early registrations will be tracked, and our first wave of users will have a chance to win a key as and when the Crysis 2 beta takes place. All you need to do is sign up early and one day in the near future you may be receiving a mail with an invite to the game,” reads a post on MyCrysis.
Meanwhile, a recent trade press ad from EA carries word that the supersuit-centric shooter is gunning for an “autumn” release date. So, odds are, you can expect the beta test to take place sometime this summer.

With the new engine, they are using to make it console friendly, the need to upgrade to play this game is gone. That was half the fun to see what fps you could get.

They're in the process of launching the version of the site probably.
