Here is how you can skip right through your intros without having to press ESC, space, or wait for it to finish if you are some of the users who cannot skip them.
_________________________________________

Note:

I will be using the default location for the installation. That includes C:.

Also, you may have installed your game somewhere else. If so, locate your Crysis folder and find the Video folder.

*Instead of deleting the following files, you can also make a new folder and drag them in there just for safe keeping. Just in case if deleting the files interferes with any future updates/patches. Since there hasn't been any patches for Crysis yet, I do not know if deleting them will cause a problem when you install a patch.

You can just ALT + F4 at that period.

It's the same as BF2/2142. Just create a new folder in the video folder and move them there.

Or is the only way to disable the intro movies to rename the file types from .sfd to ._sfd like I did? (Or delete them of course.)
I really don't know about the -nointro. I have never heard of it before.

Bump for your question.

You can also put the vids in another folder in that directory. If the game can't find them, it can't use them. They are necessary for patching so do not delete.

Interesting find, i was wondering could you delete them. You know tho, when you first start up crysis alright, start the game, and when you quit and come back, you are able to just hit space bar or esc to skip the intros. They won't let you do that the first time loading up the game.
