'Super 8' Trailer
When you have Spielberg & JJ Abrams names tied to a project like this... the bar of expectation just seems that much higher, and this trailer seems to elude that perhaps they might be reaching to fulfil the expectations set.

MyCrysis - Crysis 2 Weapon Focus - SCARAB
Welcome to the SCARAB Weapon Focus!
Today you're going to meet the SCAR's brother in arms, the SCARAB. With a full 200 rounds per minute faster firing rate than the SCAR, the SCARAB can put more rounds down range in a shorter amount of time with only a small compromise on long range accuracy. Tell us what you think in the comments below!
SCARAB:
Introduced in 2018 and manufactured by US-based Scrutch Industries, the SCARAB is a more compact, flat-top carbine variant of the SCAR assault rifle. Utilizing advanced rifle cartridges that are smaller than the previous 5.56mm rounds, the SCARAB offers increased ammunition storage per-magazine with zero impact on combat effectiveness. The SCARAB differs from the SCAR in its shorter barrel, which optimizes the weapon for close-quarter combat, and a higher cyclic rate of 900 rounds per minute compared to 700 on the SCAR.
Part of the Superior Combat Assault Rifle weapon family comprising the SCARAB, the larger SCAR assault rifle, and the SCARE sniper variant, the weapon is mainly used by US Special Forces. Recently, the SCARAB has also seen extensive deployment in the police and private sector. It is a valuable alternative to submachine guns, offering a compact design without sacrificing fire-power.
The weapon can mount a variety of attachments including a silencer, under barrel shotgun, and combat scopes, making it excel at closequarter combat while offering the versatility to adapt to new combat situations on the fly.

Crysis 2 Weapon Focus - X43 Mike
Welcome to the X43 Mike Weapon Focus!
For our 9th Weapon Focus article we're going to be stepping into some serious future-tech and taking a look at the "X-43 Mike". With this extremely powerful microwave weapon you can literally cook your enemies and light flammable materials on fire. Great for use against mulitple targets with a high rate of fire and damage but limited in range, this is one for the up close and really personal.
X-43 MIKE:
The X-43 Microwave Incendiary Klystron Emitter (MIKE) is a high-power experimental directed-energy weapon based around weaponized microwaves. Developed by CryNet Armories, the MIKE was derived from Active Denial Systems originally intended for non-lethal crowd dispersal. These weapons pacify targets by instantly heating the body’s water and fat molecules beneath the skin, causing incapacitating temporal pain.
Wavelength adjustments to the emitted microwave beam, along with a significant power boost, have turned the MIKE into an incredibly lethal weapon that could literally boil a human from the inside, set flammable objects on fire with continued exposure, and explode sealed objects containing liquids due to the increased pressure from steam building up inside.
The MIKE compensates for its limited range and high energy consumption with its sheer power. Thick metal shielding provides partial protection, but the MIKE’s microwave beam can easily penetrate body armor, car doors and storage tanks. In terms of practical usage, the MIKE is best described as “Flamethrower 2.0”. Both share the same battlefield role, but the microwave cannon uses advanced technology to bypass armor and attack from the inside instead of spraying a target with ignited flammable liquids.
