Edge of the Sky Update #1 news

Mod information:
The modification is based upon the best selling game "Mirrors Edge" and to this extent allows the player to be able to jump from building to building and adds a host of other abilities not found in vanilla Crysis. Based in a modern city environment, the player will mostly be located on rooftops or inside buildings, with the ability to run on walls and jump from distant locations! The player will equip the Skysuit, a nanosuit that has been specially adapted for action on high placed locations, and jumping from buildings.

Gamemodes:
Detailed below is some information regarding the game modes that will feature in our modification. The singleplayer version, based around a campaign and a timed run feature and also the multiplayer version which includes both the familiar Crytek standards and also two brand new modes entitled Runner and Overload.

Singleplayer
There are several multiplayer modes, but only one Campaign. In the Campaign mode, you play as the rebel Trianna, that is trying to escape her past. Besides the Campaign mode, there's the TimeRun mode, where players are supposed to reach a destination in a certain amount of time, and to break their own records. A system that uploads TimeRun scores is also being considered. There isn't much details in the levels yet, as we're working on core gameplay. We're in the process of starting with the details in this maps displayed here.

Multiplayer
The Multiplayer part of the game will feature two new gamemodes, as well as the standard TIA/IA gamemode by Crytek. The two new gamemodes are called Runner and Overload, below you can read about the first gamemode, Overload, here:

"The Overload game mode features two to four teams which carries an reactor that the other teams must overload. The reactor is carried by one teammate, and if the other team gets hold of it, they can start overloading it. When overloaded, the reactor gets unstable and will send out an energy wave that disturbs the Skysuit that is holding it. After it is 100% overloaded, that reactor's ownerteam has lost, and the other teams continue fighting. The last remaining reactor wins!"
