Crysis is more successful than FC2, IMO, but I quite enjoyed FC2.
Neither FC2 or Crysis carry forward the FC sense of humour.  It's this
sense of humour that I link to Duke.  The only kind of successor to FC
that I'd be fully satisfied with is one that equals or succeeds how FC
and Duke inject humour into the mix.

Sam 1 & 2 strip the Duke Character to the bone (and perhaps Duke is
better for it) then present the player with some pretty bizarre
circumstances.  Totally successful.  The way I figure it, Sam 1 & 2
define a distinct category of FPS enjoyment.
