I've been really enjoying the few hours I've been able to put into Crysis so far. That is, until I reached a completely broken and therefore impossible to finish level. I'm talking about a level still early in the game, where you're supposed to go into a village and rescue a hostage in a school. I've infiltrated it from several sides, I've killed everyone, I've gone to the school first, I've gone all around the town and into the HQ building first, I've saved the hostage a few times, killed all the tanks... and that's it. No more mission updates. It's the infinite level. I even decided to just continue on into the jungle, regardless of not having been instructed to but it didn't matter.
I looked it up online and found an article someone wrote saying that he had the same problem. He laid out how to do it - enter over from the main bridge, head to the HQ and get a mission to go inside (tried, didn't get said mission), enter and then it updates and says to continue on to rescue the hostage.
I'm surprised a game of this calibre could be so broken. It tells you to do a mission, you do it, and it pretends like maybe you did it wrong so as punishment it won't tell you what to do next, or let you do it. It also seems to neglect giving a common mission update about going into the HQ. On my first time in the village after rescuing the hostage and killing the tanks, I had a green dot on my map to go to the HQ (after several playthroughs of this part of the level, it's the only time I've had that) but going there did nothing. I guess I was supposed to do it before rescuing the hostage. Or not. Who knows, I didn't have a mission for it anyway, just the dot.
Needles to say I'm rather pissed about this game. I've spent a couple hours in this one stupid ass level and it won't let me progress. I did really like this game, but what a broken piece of crap. I'll give it another shot tonight, but I'm thinking I just lost my money.
If anyone can tell me the exact order you're supposed to do this level to get it to not be broken, I'd greatly appreciate it because this is so, so stupid.
