previously scheduled v1.3 patch for Crysis, but said that the decision was made for "a good reason" and that it would give an explanation in the near future. That same day Crytek registered Crysis Warhead, fueling speculation that an addon was in the works, and a

ported to console, maybe the new addon will be bundled with the original on the PS3/X360.
