Punch trees in half with Crysis!

And crabs, and turtles, and just about anything weighty you can get your hands on. A full-blooded throw from a chicken will put a Korean soldier down in an instant, and on lower difficulty (we only play on super-hard Delta mode) it'll kill 'em dead. Keep your eyes peeled for lesser-spotted beach combing birds, too. Extra points if you employ theserare crittersas a murder weapon.

You can throw people through buildings!

The internet has already raved about Crysis' impressive reactive physics (throw man into building, watching building crumble onto corpse). But performing the action is infinitely more thrilling, heightened by the horrified look on your victim's mug, as you trudge around looking for the perfect bit of fragile wall to hurl him through. There's really nothing else quite like Crysis in these moments.
