In Episode 5 of Crytek’s web series “The 7 Wonders of Crysis 3,” Prophet flexes all of the nanosuit’s muscles while musing about what it means for him if suit makes the man.

For the most part, the trailer doesn’t show off anything new—the Ceph look great, the bow looks fun, the game looks fun and great. But there is an interesting moment, about 1:12 into the trailer, when Prophet picks up a Ceph weapon reminiscent of the K-Volt submachine gun from Crysis 2. This is the first time I’ve seen Prophet pick up an enemy weapon. Admittedly, I barely remember Crysis. But it never happened in Crysis 2. This will certainly add some variety to Crysis 3—as if the bow wasn’t enough.

Crysis 3 comes out February 19 for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Presumably, there are two more episodes of “7 Wonders” yet to drop between now and then.
