Crysis has the worst engine ever. It runs terribly on middle hardware. Bad dev work is bad dev work. Look at GTAIV- its PC requirements are insane.

Crysis has a great engine, it is insane how many things are being calculated. If it doesn't run on middle hardware it doesn't mean it has a bad engine. It's just a little ahead of its time.

The problem with the Crysis engine is that it doesn't scale back very well. But I think it's more of a choice than bad programming. I think it would been a pretty big undertaking to make it scale back more than it already does.

It must scale back quite a lot if it is being used for the console versions in crysis 2

It's not, Crysis runs on CryEngine 2, where as Crysis 2 runs on CryEngine 3. CryEnginge 3 has taken quite some time to develop, so they decided to take that big undertaking in the form of building a new engine
