				FREEZEFRAME MOD README
				======================

IMPORTANT
---------
This mod requires Crysis patch 1.2 or later.
It will not run at all on an unpatched system since full mod support was only introduced later
You should not be able to skip cinematics but if you do the game will be severly bugged since these are used to alter ingame events.
Please read the GAMEPLAY HELP section before you play


INSTALLATION
------------
Just unrar into your Crysis Mods folder
The Mods folder should be just inside the Crysis folder if you need to add it
You should end up with this:
\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Mods\FreezeFrame


STARTING THE MOD
----------------
It is recommended that you create a new profile to play the mod at the Main Menu

1a) If you run Crysis x32 double click Start32.bat file inside the FreezeFrame folder and hit F4 at the main menu (or type map crtr-harbor into the console)
1b) If you run Crysis x64 double click Start64.bat file inside the FreezeFrame folder and hit F4 at the main menu (or type map crtr-harbor into the console)

2) Alternatively use the FreezeFrame Shortcut in the FreezeFrame folder
If you installed Crysis somewhere other than the default
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe"
then you will need to modify the Target path in the shortcut to where you have your Crysis.exe
To do this right click on the shortcut and choose Properties
Be sure it ends with   \Crysis.exe" -MOD FreezeFrame
Once the Mod has started at the main menu open the console (the key below escape on my system) then type in:
con_restricted 0 <Enter>
map crtr-harbor <Enter>

If it still does not load please ensure you are patched to 1.2 or later

This Mod does not overwrite or touch in any way your Crysis installation files


UNINSTALLATION
--------------
Just delete the FreezeFrame folder from your Mods folder


THE STORY
---------
The story is focussed around a small squad sent to a remote island
in the South China Sea to investigate unusual KPA activity.
From the outset they run into trouble as the main protagonist is gradually
drawn into an increasingly desperate and bewildering struggle


GAMEPLAY HELP
-------------
After the intro cinematic the game will not start until you pick up your camera in front of you
Instructions for using the camera will come in due course during the game you don't have to worry about it initially
If you cannot find what you are supposed to photograph or cannot get a good photo just move on the game will not end because of it
You will get an intel gathering score at the end of the game, that will tell you the game is just about over
To increase your score you must complete objectives and find hidden intel objects to photograph
Photographic objects include strange objects and stolen military contraband
You will also be given area of effect nerve gas grenades during the game
These are found by toggling your grenades with the H key once you have them
Their icon is the Crysis emp grenades
You will be re-equipped with them during the game however
don't waste them you may need them in critical moments or if you are being overpowered
The gas will not affect you since your suit has underwater breathing apparatus
You are advised to play on Normal settings as the game can be quite hard in places
Easy setting has been modified and will allow a much easier game if you find normal setting much too difficult
You will also be equipped with more nerve gas grenades to help overcome the odds
Also remember that a silenced weapon has much of it's effectiveness reduced
Good luck
