Crytek seems pretty happy with the work they've done in Crysis Warhead -- and they want you to be happy with it to. Starting today, you can play Crysis Wars -- the multiplayer portion of Warhead -- for free.

The free-play ends on Sunday, at midnight, PST.

Shoot people in the face with a shotgun. Capture buildings. Punch someone in the knee. The possibilities are endless.

There are three modes for your playing enjoyment, and 21 maps, of various sizes. All weapons and vehicles are present in the free play. Rock and roll.

The system requirements for Crysis Warhead are much more forgiving than Crysis as well. So you might be able to actually play the game with decent framerates, which is cool.

And the system requirements are...

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz 3M Processor
RAM: 1GB (1.5GB on Windows Vista)
Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce 6800GT, ATI Radeon 9800Pro (Radeon X800 for Vista) or better
VRAM: 256MB of Graphics Memory
Storage: 15GB
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Microsoft Vista
ODD: DVD-ROM
DirectX: DX9.0c or DX10

Damn! 2.66GHz dual core! Forget what I said. Most people probably can't play this. But if you can -- well, enjoy your free play.

Instructions for getting into the free play weekend are here.
