The trial client for the Crysis Wars freeplay weekend (October 10th – 12th) is now available for pre-release. It comes in at a modest (cough) 5.5 gigs so you might want to start that download sooner rather than later if you plan on giving it a go. Snag a copy of Crysis Warhead's multiplayer pal from i3D:
