Crysis 2 - What is 'The Pinger'?

18
Richard Walker

Be warned. This latest Crysis 2 trailer is not only incredibly short, but it also gives no new information on the upcoming FPS sequel, instead teasing with a big, bi-pedal mech attempting to stare down the game's Nanosuit clad hero 'Nomad', who isn't having any of it.

What 'it' is exactly is currently unknown, but we don't think it's selling flowers or cookies. We'd even be bold enough to guess that the so-called 'Pinger' is unfriendly as it stomps around scanning for things to kill with its big red eye.

If Terminator has taught us anything, it's that big red eyes = pure evil. Here's hoping that you can hack into The Pinger and ride around New York, or use the Nanosuit to tear it into scrap.

Expect to find out more at E3 2010 in LA next week.

  • Well... At least it looks like it'll be a fun fight. I can't wait for this game :)
  • cool, I think i'll pick this up, I never played the first one, but damn im excited for this one!
  • I laughed at this. They are so attempting to hype this up. It already looks like a masterpiece. Personally that "Pinger" kind of looks like a Metal Gear Gecko. Definetly cannot wait for this game though.
  • Well that explains alot!
  • It will be one of the Alien bosses. I don't expect many, if not all of you to have not played the first one as you needed a decent PC. The aliens were dormant on the island, then got disturbed by excavations. There was level "bosses" so to speak. This will be one of them, but in New York. Kind of disappointed there is not going to be any Zero-G scenes, though.
  • 'Love how it was about 10 seconds of actual stuff. Nice E3 teaser.
  • The pinger wants a hug........................what you lookin at me for i aint giving it to him.

  • @7 lol Deep down, the 'Pinger' just wants to be loved
  • Looking forward to this. Has it got a confirmed Uk release date yet?
