New Crysis 3 trailer shows off a variety of weapons

With the release of Crysis 3 being just over the horizon, EA seems to have ramped up the marketing for the game. This time the company has released a new trailer dubbed the Lethal Weapons Trailer. It gives us a look at all the different weapons that you can use in the urban jungle, from the Predator Bow to the Reaper Cannon.

It looks like all the weapons will have different properties, which can be even further modified by using special modifiers, such as different ammo types. For example, switching to electric arrows on the Predator Bow lets you electrocute enemies standing in water and switching to explosive arrows lets you take down vehicles.

Earlier this month, Game4u had announced that Crysis 3 will be getting a midnight launch event, which will start on February 21 at 11:30 pm. Game4u stores will re-open at midnight for ardent fans. Customers who have pre-ordered the game through Game4u can also pick up their pre-order freebies along with the game. The pre-order for the PC version of the game include the Hunter Edition of the game, the Stalker and Brawler DLC packs, a T-shirt, a free copy of Crysis on digital download for Team Elite members, and 50 percent off on Crysis 2, Dead Space 2, Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Mass Effect 3 in the downloads4u catalogue.

The Xbox 360 pre-orders just get a t-shirt and the Hunter edition for now. The DLC for the Xbox 360 is yet to be confirmed. The first customer to get a copy of the game will also get a “first to own” certificate from Game4u.

Crysis 3 is all set to be one of the biggest games of the year. If you want to see what the game has to offer, you can check out the ongoing multiplayer beta on PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and Origin.

As you can see from our preview, we were pretty impressed by the multiplayer of the game. It essentially works as a “multiplayer demo”, as it is designed to give you a taste of the Crysis 3 multiplayer component. Developers will also be able to use your feedback to do away with any bugs in the game. You can level up to rank 10, and customise your Nanosuit with different weapons, attachments and suit modules.
