Crysis 2 looks good now that it’s had its little DirectX 11 patch – right? Wrong. Blackfire’s Mod 2, is a Crysis 2 mod custom designed to make your tearducts leak and your nostrils flare with a strange and intense visual fervour. It looks just a little bit incredible…
It features some incredible new texture work and vastly improved lighting. Head here for all the details on how to install the mod.

Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 11:01 AMThe contrast seems a little high in some places, and there seem to be a few bugs with the textures/shadows, but it does look spectacular. If I didn’t have such a crappy internet connection I’d be downloading the mod right now.

Blaghman, patron saint of doing it wrong.
Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 11:26 AMThis mod has a few problems, and really isn’t compatible with the DX11 stuff. Don’t get me wrong, the textures are a significant improvement over the original, but the lack of tessellation (not a deal breaker for most, I’ll admit), combined with the disregard for some of the more advanced features (so far I could tell, there were no partical shadows, and based upon the screens, it was lacking the “variable penumbra” in shadows) don’t really scream “download me.” Yet. Give it another few months, then someone will release something to melt every GPU on the planet…

Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 12:35 PMAnother crysis mod you might want to check out is:
Mech Warrior: Living Legends.
It may not be as photorealistic as this but it certainly fills the void of a proper mechwarrior game.

Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 12:58 PMyea some of it looks awesome, other parts not so much. The sharper shadows make it look older. Real shadows aren’t sharp like the ones this guy’s added to his mod.
Plus some of the sections look like someone pushed the contrast on the LCD screen to 100. Bright colours and blackness!!
I prefer the original look of the lighthouse island for example.
