Crysis Warhead, like the original, Crysis, is based in a future where an ancient alien spacecraft has been discovered beneath the Earth on an island east of the Philippines. The single-player campaign has the player assume the role of (Former SAS) Delta Force operator Sergeant Michael Sykes, referred to in-game by his call sign, Psycho. Psycho’s arsenal of futuristic weapons builds on those showcased in Crysis, with the introduction of Mini-SMGs which can be dual-wielded, a six-shot grenade launcher equipped with EMP grenades, and the destructive, short ranged Plasma Accumulator Cannon (PAX). The highly versatile Nanosuit returns.
In Crysis Warhead, the player fights North Korean and extraterrestrial enemies, in many different locations, such as a tropical island jungle, inside an “Ice Sphere”, an underground mining complex, which is followed by a convoy train transporting an unknown alien object held by the North Koreans, and finally, to an airfield. Like Crysis, Warhead uses Microsoft’s new API, Direct3D 10 (DirectX 10) for graphics rendering.
We are using several sections of gameplay which feature some of the most intensive action in Crysis. You can therefore base these results on a firmly ‘worst case’ scenario situation. We used ‘gamer’ settings and gamed at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 during this test.
Crysis Warhead is no easy task for any computer, let alone a laptop. But the G150 was able to manage very reasonable framerates at gamer settings at the machine's native 1080P screen resolution.
that 480 is a monster. I dont mind those keyboards, I know the reviewer didnt seem to like them, but they work well for me.
Nice looking machine, good all round spec for gamers.
Uk only delivery on their machines I take it?
We have the atom version of this, well it looks a bit different, and its very good. well made products.
@Seveish, Kobalt will deliver to most of europe and probably farther afield if you ask them nicely 🙂
@ Seveish, Kobalt Ship worldwide 🙂
Thumbs down Don’t buy from Kobalt Computers
No communications, no contact, plenty excuses, but no laptop and after 10 weeks time has run out. I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am with the level of customer service and disregard shown. After paying a large sum for a premium product and to receive nothing but excuses and empty promises this is totally unacceptable.
And it’s not like I can review the product as I cot nowhere near one, the review and pictures look good, but what’s the use of that when you’re 3K out of pocket… Keep well clear of these cowboys…
An Alienware would have been better than this…
