Important note: Delta difficoult

[Lord_Ektorus]

Just a quick tip for the players: if you start the game on Delta you'll have no problem but if you finish the game on easy or normal on your first run MAKE SURE TO START A FRESH NEW ONE on Delta on your second playtrough !

Hope it helps!

Mind explaining why? I feel like this answers an interesting question but what was the question

I started a new game on Delta and the trophies refused to unlock. Decided to delete my save data completely, hopefully that will make the trophies unlock. Still annoying as fuck to have to do the first act a second time, though.

delta is a high difficulty to start as a new crysis player?

I had done the game on both on PS3 (which lacked the Ascension level) and PS4 with both of my playthroughs being on Delta. Had zero issues personally.

The game just cheats to kill the player, the aimbots know where you are from a hundred miles away, they look directly at you when you are invisible, act completely scripted pretending they don't see you but track you regardless and fire as soon as you're visible instantly. I never once felt like I could sneak around, change my position to move around enemies or even take cover since the environment is destructible. I don't feel like it's hard on Delta, which might explain why the guide has the game as a 3/10 difficulty but I do feel like this is infuriating to slog through. Honestly though, would be open and appreciative to advise from anyone who has finished the Delta difficulty. I am not having a good experience with this game at all, the aimbots are so cheap that I've started just running past as much as I can and avoiding combat whenever I can.

I noticed that too with the bots that they just always knew where you were even when invisible but pretending not to know where you were (Just like in Shadow of the Tomb Raider)

I went with Delta on my first PS4 playthrough. Then again, I've played through the original PC version from GOG more than a few times.

 

Avoid equipping flashlights on all weapons. Sometimes it's better to alternate cloaking and Maximum Speed for an escape than to stay and shoot it out with the enemy. While helpful, silencers aren't totally silent. Close enemies can still hear your shot.

 

Take out any guards you see in watch towers. Get them in 1 shot from a silenced weapon. Near missing means an alert. FY71 with sniper scope, silencer, and incendiary ammo may help.

 

You're not 100% invisible cloaked, just harder to see at a distance. If an enemy gets too close, they can still spot you. I wouldn't let enemies see you changing into cloak mode. Go hide behind something, then cloak and wait for the "cloak engaged" voice, then move. Going prone can be useful... especially with cloaking.

 

Soldiers get more alert if they see an ally's dead body. Forget using vehicles most of the time.

 

Here's someone's video of a full stealth no damage run on Delta. You'll see that they don't fire at the jammer but instead shut it down manually by using the control panel. (15:45) I had never thought about that before, and until now I'd shoot off the jammer's antenna. Damaging it guarantees an alert... I'm not doing that next time.
