Nice list, but the image with the characters isn´t cryengine 2 its from the DICE guys, and they use there own engine. The one you looking for is this one.



Just to not confuse people ^^

[Phyll112]

even i dint know that there were there allready

awesome development time

They will be done in DEC2008 BTW that means that in Feb the Game will be in shipment(If everything is going like the way it shood)
