Level Abstract
Quick Summary
“Grave Site” is a single-player mission for the game Crysis 2, taking place in a downtown environment of
a major city. Skyscrapers, concrete city roads and alleyways make up the surrounding environment.
Recent panic and chaos are evident, with garbage and debris scattered throughout the area. Entering
the level in an alleyway, the player must clear and secure a critical location for Marine forces. The level
features players defending against waves of enemies.
Hook(s)
The level focuses largely on visual storytelling and survival, forcing the player to defend an area from
incoming waves of enemies. Additionally, this level supports both stealth and assault approaches to
gameplay.
Gameplay Highlights
Towards the end of Grave Site, the player must survive several waves of approaching CELL forces,
preventing them from taking control of Grave Site again. Players utilize the environment and abilities to
approach defeating the enemy units with stealth or head-on assault tactics.

Level Summary
Campaign
Context
“Grave Site” is a mission that takes place near the beginning of the Crysis 2 story. While “Grave Site”
does not necessarily bookend any levels found in Crysis 2, it can replace a section of the mission,
“Sudden Impact.” Ceph have begun invading, and CELL operatives have taken control of several sections
in one of the world’s largest cities. At the start of the level, Alcatraz drops into a filth-ridden alley, with
garbage on the ground and graffiti on the walls. The player must work their way to the nearby graveyard
and reclaim that space for Marine forces.
Backstory
The Ceph have begun invading the planet. During the panic and confusion, CELL operatives
overwhelmed Marine forces and have taken control of a key tactical location at the center of the city,
designated Grave Site. To regain the tactical advantage, Alcatraz deploys to the center of the city, tasked
with infiltrating and securing Grave Site from CELL, with authorization to use whatever means necessary.
Alcatraz drops into an alley near Grave Site.
Aftermath
After Alcatraz reclaims Grave Site, Marine forces move in to secure the location. Marines expand
throughout the area, engaging both Ceph and CELL forces. Alcatraz continues his primary mission to
defeat the Ceph.

Level Flow
Flow Summary
1. Area 1: The Alleyway - “Grave Site” begins in a dead-end alleyway, surrounded by tall brick
buildings. Moving forward, the player must turn right and the alley continue towards a street,
offering a narrow view of outpost Grave Site just ahead. With a tall fence blocking the way, the
player must go down the path to the left. The player encounters the first CELL operative here.
After killing the enemy, the player continues forward, triggering a CELL vehicle to drive by on the
street ahead. The player must exit into this city street.
2. Area 2: City Streets – After exiting the alleyway, the player comes to a wide street. To the right,
the player sees a series of civilian vehicles parked chaotically on the road, several of them
flipped over. Two CELL operatives patrol along the street ahead, stopping periodically to look
around. As the player moves forward, two triggers potentially set off car alarms, causing the
operatives to become suspicious and search that area. After engaging or sneaking past the
patrol, the player comes across an intersecting street. This street runs directly in front of Grave
Site. Several enemies occupy and patrol the street to the left and right. The player must cross
the street and enter Grave Site.
3. Area 3: Grave Site – After moving through the streets, the player enters Grave Site, a graveyard
with a large church in the center and significant CELL presence. The player has the option to
enter through the front section of Grave Site, posing the risk of alerting CELL patrols, or moving
ahead to a series of scaffolding, taking to higher ground. One CELL operative patrols the
scaffolding. Once inside the graveyard, the player encounters several CELL operatives, primarily

consisting of Feline Assault units. Gravestones, tombs, gazebos and temporary military
structures break up the environment and provide cover for the player. The player must clear all
enemies from the area before beginning the next task.
4. Area 4: Grave Site Defense – After clearing Grave Site of all CELL operatives, a notification
informs the player to prepare for CELL reinforcements. The player has a short time period to
explore the graveyard for ammunition and weapons. Three waves of enemies spawn at different
points from alternating streets that lie on either side of Grave Site. The first wave arrives with
two transport vehicles. Five Feline Assault units move in on foot.. The first sub-objective
completes when the first wave is defeated. The second wave enters from the opposite street on
foot, consisting of four Feline Assault units, one DSG-1 unit, and one Feline Demolition unit
approach. The second sub-objective completes when the second wave is defeated. The third
wave enters from the same side as the first wave, from around the corner where the player
travelled earlier in the level. Two transportation vehicles bring five Feline Assault units, one
Sniper unit, and two Feline Demolition units. The third sub-objective and third main objective
end when the third wave is defeated.

1. The player starts the level in the alleyway dead-end. Surrounded by brick walls, this section of
the alleyway holds garbage bags, trash littered on the ground, graffiti on walls, and shopping
carts scattered in the area. A sewer drain lies in the center with gaseous steam emitting from it.
A doorway with a small set of stairs lies on the left side of the area. Fire escapes and air
conditioner boxes line the walls of the buildings. A narrow exit alley lies in the front-left corner
of the dead-end

2. Moving forward through the alley, more graffiti, trash and dumpsters sit along the walls of the
surrounding buildings. The alley takes a sharp right turn, forcing the player in that direction.
Coming around the corner, the player initially sees a long continuation of the alley in that
direction, with a tall fence lying several meters ahead and a left turn in the alley just before the
fence. Garbage bags, trash and a worn-down mattress lie on the ground near the fence. As the
player approaches the fence, he or she notices that it is too tall to pass. Looking forward, the
player sees the alley empty out into a street, with a large church and graveyard on the far side.
3. Turning to the left alleyway, the player encounters the first enemy: a CELL Feline Assault soldier,
walking away from the player. The player attacks and kills the operative and pushes forward
towards the exit.
4. After a few steps, a military transport truck drives towards the right on the road ahead. The
player exits into Area 2: The City Streets.

The Alleyway appears run down and abandoned, having garbage and filth cover the area. Lighting is
darker in the alleyway, blocked by the tall surrounding buildings. Graffiti covers several sections of wall,
and potholes on the ground indicate a lack of up keeping in the area. Dirty mattresses, shopping carts
and food wrappers indicate homeless may have lived in the space. A doorway, air conditioner boxes and
fire escapes suggest the surrounding buildings are apartments.

Gameplay/Story
5. As the player exits the alleyway, he or she comes to the city streets. Upon approaching the
street, the player sees a vehicle, which is carrying two C.E.L.L. soldiers, drive past the alleyway
exit. The vehicle stops at the intersection to the right and both soldiers exit. Continuing to the
right, the player notices another two-man patrol unit, made up of Feline Assault soldiers,
walking towards the player.
6. With cars parked frantically across the street and sidewalks, the player has the option to attack
the unit head-on or use cover and the stealth armor to slip past them unnoticed. Two vehicles,
indicated above, have car alarms that go off if the player moves too closely, making the patrol
units become suspicious and investigate the area.
7. After sneaking past or neutralizing the patrol unit, the player continues forward to a three-way
intersection. On the far side of the street lies Grave Site, a graveyard on the property of a large

church. The church itself, which lies in the center of the graveyard, is down several meters to
the right of the intersection. Turning right at the intersection, the player encounters a semitruck and several civilian vehicles parked across the road, abandoned in a panic. On the far left
side of the intersection, the player sees a ramp leading up to scaffolding. This raised platform,
which lies along the edge of a large building, extends over the top of the brick wall surrounding
Grave Site.

The City Streets section establishes the setting of being in a large city, surrounding the player with tall
buildings and skyscrapers. With trash along the ground and cars parked sporadically in the street, it is
clear that panic took place in this area, causing those present to abandon anything they had. Bullet
casings, large potholes and craters suggest a battle took place here.

8. With a brick wall and CELL gate blocking all other entrances into Grave Site, the player moves
across the street to the scaffolding. Moving up the ramp, the player encounters a DSG-1 Sniper
looking down the sights of a rifle. The player must neutralize the enemy. The player may choose
to pick up the dropped sniper rifle and use it to kill visible enemies in the graveyard, though a
tree to the front left of the player blocks the player’s view of much of the area.
9. Dropping down from the scaffolding, the player moves forward between a military storage pen
and a small portable command trailer. A Feline Assault soldier stands on the left side of the
command trailer, facing towards the church; a shotgun lies next to the soldier. The player
neutralizes this enemy and moves forward. Another C.E.L.L. soldier patrols the exterior walkway
of the grounds. The player kills this enemy.
10. Moving onto the path and heading towards the front of the church, an Assault soldier moves out
from behind the pillar of the church walkway tunnel. A stack of storage crates lie in front of the
player, providing cover for both assault and stealth purposes, while having the added benefit of
preventing an excessively long line of sight. To the right, another C.E.L.L. unit stands guard at the
main entrance of the church. Upon killing this enemy, the player finds an ammo crate on the
ground next to him.
11. Continuing through the tunnel to the opposite side of the church, the player comes across an
Assault Grendel unit, which moves out from behind a fence up ahead. As the player approaches,
another C.E.L.L. soldier moves out from behind a large storage container to the right. The player

must react quickly and kill this soldier in order to maintain a stealthy approach. The player then
kills the further soldier.
12. At the corner of the walkway, the player encounters a split in the path, offering a choice for
progression.
a. The nearest route continues along the walkway of the graveyard. Heading down
this path, the player encounters two Assault Grendel units patrolling up and
down the walkway. The player has two buildings on the right side of the road
and a larger stone monument on the left side of the road for the player to use
as cover to flank the enemies.
b. The farther route takes the player off the walkway and onto a dirt-trodden path
through a storage section of Grave Site. A tall fence blocks the player’s view and
movement on the left side of this pathway, keeping the player from crossing
between paths. This space acts as a larger rest area for the player to reload and
wait for health and shields to recover. The player also finds ammunition and
grenades along this path.
13. Moving towards the back section of the church, the player sees a Grendel Assault soldier and a
Leader Scarab Nova unit near a command trailer. This encounter requires more skill to complete
with stealth because both enemies are in close proximity to each other. The leader stands at the
end of the walkway, facing the direction from which the player moves. The Grendel unit stands
to the right of the command trailer. Shooting these soldiers triggers three additional soldiers,
who were previously standing at the back of the church, to move out from behind the trailer
and seek out the player. Once the player defeats these soldiers, the objective completes and the
next objective begins.

Theme
The base theme of Grave Site is a large cathedral with a cemetery on its grounds. A stone path loops
through the front tunnel of the church, going towards the back of the church. Sections of grass surround
the path, with tombstones, monuments and statues spread across the grounds. Now, grass and weeds
grow tall across the grounds. The stone pathway has dirt and smudges. Graffiti defaces the walls of the
cathedral, and small craters from a recent battle remain all over the grounds. Stacked sandbags, supply
crates, temporary buildings and trodden paths indicate a strong militia presence here. Bullet casings and
bloodstains on the ground indicate recent and intense battles.

Gameplay/Story
14. After clearing out Grave Site of all enemies, the player has approximately ten seconds to find
any ammunition refills before the next stage of the level begins. A small stone chapel nearby has
a Heavy Machine Gun, which the player can remove and use against the incoming enemies.
15. After the ten seconds expire, the first wave of enemies spawns on the eastern street that
borders Grave Site. The enemies move in from the bottom-right checkpoint gate that initially
blocked entrance to Grave Site. The wave consists of five Feline Assault units.
16. After defeating the first wave, the second wave of enemies spawns near the top-left section of
Grave Site. As the player approaches the objective location, a large explosion tears a hole in the
wall, creating a new entry/exit point. Entering on foot, the second wave consists of four Feline
Assault units, one DSG Sniper unit, and one Feline Demolition unit.
17. After defeating all the enemies in the second wave, the third and final wave of enemies spawns
from the bottom-left checkpoint gate. This wave includes four Feline Assault units, one DSG
Sniper unit, two Feline Demolition units, and an ICV. The mission objective completes when the
third wave of enemies is completely defeated. Once the final objective is complete, a convoy of
Marines moves in from the street where the player originally came from. The player must

through the front tunnel of the church, going towards the back of the church. Sections of grass surround
the path, with tombstones, monuments and statues spread across the grounds. Now, grass and weeds
grow tall across the grounds. The stone pathway has dirt and smudges. Graffiti defaces the walls of the
cathedral, and small craters from a recent battle remain all over the grounds. Stacked sandbags, supply
crates, temporary buildings and trodden paths indicate a strong militia presence here. Bullet casings and
bloodstains on the ground indicate recent and intense battles.
