I once read that even a Silenced pistol makes as much noise as a chainsaw or an ambulance siren...Thats a **** load of noise [They are actually called Supressors but whatev's]
After firing a couple of handguns myself, [none with silencers on though] I have no doubt that even a SUPPRESSED Assault rifle would be loud as ****.
Most people already know this. The thing is that this is a video game and in video games, especially ones set in 2023, you can afford to make a few little changes to the way supressors work.
Now my issue is this state of mind Crytek has that is something like "omg lawl we have a truely silent weapon now isn't this so kewl guiz oh-em-gee!!11oneone!!11 Crysis 3 for GOTY!!111" Well we had a plethora of weapons in Crysis 1 that had no issues with being silent, AND we could do it from several hundred meters instead of the few meesly feet of arena we are given in Crysis 2 and 3. The fact is silent kills were NEVER an issue.
My point was that I don't care about a bow and "truely silent kills" because the suppressors in Crysis did that already and we had huge arenas to use them in. They took 250 steps backwards with Crysis 2 and think that a bow will somehow make up for it. Crytek have "realised they made some mistakes" and think they are "improving" the forumla. Fact is until they actually make a sequel to Crysis they will never make up for it. Crysis 3 is just more of Crysis 2 and they can shove it down their pie holes. They are pandering to console crowds where the smallest of things are massive improvements. Crysis 1 is still technically more impressive and had better and more gameplay features.
