Aspiring game designers can get their hands on the Crysis 2 level editor early this summer. Before then, Crytek will try to inspire with a few new levels of its own. The first map pack for Crysis 2 is set for download next week.

EA and Crytek announced this morning that the Retaliation map pack will include four new maps: Park Avenue, Transit, Shipyard, and Compound. Get a gander at the new battlefields in the trailer below:



Retaliation will be available for download on May 17 for the PS3 (providing PSN is restored), Xbox 360, and Windows PCs. No pricing was revealed for the map pack.


Sharkey says: The multiplayer just never did it for me in Crysis 2. I enjoyed the single player campaign, but I don't think I'll be giving EA any more money for the game -- no matter how much Retaliation costs.
