^^The point isnt wether or not those guys speak in the game or not, but how much does it add to the story line. Nomad does speak in C1, but not much that would describe him as a character.
And I'd suggest people talk about alcatraz or prophet after a while, coz most of the people here are just getting started with the game.

btw, just finished the vehicle sequence, one word - AMAZING!!!, the sound and the visuals blew my mind :D

You're missing the point out here. The reason I classified him as mute was to be sarcastic. He's voiced by Greg Sunmark. You don't see his (Nomad's) face, nor is there a strong conversation made to develop his character. A game's protagonist is strengthened by his actions and interactions in the game. If you pick a person like Master Chief, his name is synonymous to the Halo franchise. But it's just a name for a person who wears a suit, never utters a word and carries out orders. To me, that's just a name. Tomorrow, if Bungie decides to bring our another Halo with some other person in that suit, with mute personality, I'd care less if he's Master Chief or his son.

In Crysis, Nomad doesn't interact with the game's NPC's that much, but rather responds to their com broadcasts. That's what I can vaguely recall. His verbal contribution was next to nothing. Don't believe me? Here's a collective list of his quotes used in Crysis grabbed from Wiki:

* My chute's gone, my damn chute is gone! I got no main, no reserve! -- Nomad, Contact, panicking when something disables his parachute during the HALO jump.
* If it's any consolation, they look like cheap knock-offs. -- Nomad, Relic, to Major Strickland when revealing that the Koreans apparently are using Nanosuits as well.
* Yeah, you do that. -- Nomad, Awakening, when he is left behind by a VTOL, who promises to return to rescue Nomad.
* It's like nothing I've ever seen before. It's cold, incredibly cold. The walls are irregular...like the outer shell. It looks almost organic..I hope you guys are getting this. -- Nomad, Core, describing the interior of the Alien Spaceship.
* Oh ****! -- Nomad, Core, when he is ambushed by aliens.
* It's nice to feel wanted, Major... -- Nomad, Exodus, when replying to Major Strickland's orders to return in fear of losing his nanosuit.
* How did I know you would say that?! -- Nomad, Reckoning, to Psycho when told to kill the Alien Hunter.
* Go, I can take this thing down!! -- Nomad, Reckoning, telling Helena and Psycho to leave because of the rising Warrior.
* Are you crazy, just go!! -- Nomad, Reckoning, responding to the reply Helena and Psycho gave about leaving.
* No, we know how to beat them now, we need to keep fighting -- Nomad, Reckoning, replying to Psycho suggestion to leave for the other Naval Fleet.
* Lock on his position, we're going back -- Nomad, Reckoning, Nomad telling Psycho to go and retrieve Prophet from the island.

The bigger point I'm trying to push across is that, nothing in his character reeked intensity to bring out a sequel, with him as the primary protagonist. I, for one, didn't feel any special connection to his character.

And I'll reiterate, complete the game. You'll realize there are much larger things happening here than Nomad, Psycho and Helena.

I hope crytek will optimise the game better on dx11, considering the amount of time they're taking.

I think Crytek have played the wrong cards....People were overeagerly waiting for launch of Crysis 2 so that they can benchmark their new shiny hardware against each other. Crytek gave a DX9 game in the age of DX11.....DX10 would also have been appreciated by the people...but by three months the gaming community might lose their interest....

Nope, gotta disagree on that. Crytek played the wrong cards with crysis 1, sure the technology was outstanding and lots of people used it as a benchmark, but there a way lot of people who were not able run the game properly. It was a totally stupid decision to release a game that doesnt even run properly on 8800GTX (the then high-end card).
I dont mean they did a rite thing now, though the game is watered down, I can see a lot of people 'enjoying' the game without any performance issues (people with mid-range computers)

Nomad's sentences are epic. We know from the beginning that Nomad's unique.. or ....err.... the aliens chose him. "Chute's gone! My darn chute is gone! I got no main, no reserve" <- awesome!

Back to school!!
Some Crysis 2 Screenshots:
@ hardcore, 1680x1050, getting over 40 FPS on most areas(till now).

*i53.tinypic.com/w9fvyp.jpg

*i54.tinypic.com/34g4qv8.jpg

Mini-Review: The AA sucks(not uniform), texture is super low res(try zooming on the streets and if you have crysis installed try zooming on the streets or surface there and compare), sometimes even at 40FPS game sort of lags, like as if playing multiplayer, input lag occurs, also game is not smooth(not as smooth as Crysis was even at 30FPS, go figure), also mouse acceleration is there in a weird way, like mouse smoothing, sharp mouse movements are gradually slowed, where the hell is the mouse smoothing option?
Just 2 hours in game and totally bored, not engaging like crysis, specially warhead was. For console gamers game is ok but for us pc gamers who expected great things from crytek this game wins the Superlame award v2.0

PS: Guys, how big is the 1.1 patch, I have a limited(2.5GB) conn, so I can't download more than 100MB
