Crysis Warhead is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes, a special forces operative involved in a combat mission against Korean military forces and extraterrestrials. Combat can be frenetic with repeated screen shakes and realistic sound effects (e.g., gunfire, explosions, demolition) during firefights. Players use a variety of weapons (guns, grenade launchers, freeze rays) as well as 'special powers' such as invisibility, speed burst, and super strength – made accessible through the player's nanotech combat suit. Blood pools are depicted when soldiers are shot and killed, staining both the environment and the character's visor. Profanity (e.g., "f*ck" and "sh*t") can be heard during gameplay and cutscenes.
