StarCry mod for Crysis adds Stargate and other sci-fi franchise themed goodness

Of franchises using the “Star _____” title format, there’s one that has long stood beside the titans of Trek and Wars in my mind: Stargate. For the last four years, a team that shares my reverence for the franchise has been modding the world of evil Egyptian space snakes and interstellar military adventure into the original Crysis, along with nods to other sci-fi franchises like the aforementioned Star Wars and Battlestar. StarCry, the end result, is now finally available for download to all of us Tau’ri.
The trailer above shows off a variety of environments, zat guns, staff weapons, and the titular Stargates themselves. But that’s far from all. The mod’s release notes boast “More than 1000 new objects, 2000 textures, 20 weapons and 1000 lines of dialog were added to the base game to offer a brand new adventure.” Check out the screenshots below, then grab the mod and see it for yourself.
Looks like Jack O'Niell in the cap there. Possible player character?
These guys never seem to catch a break.
Ice worlds have always been a favorite of mine.
In addition to the alien weapons, it looks like we'll have plenty of old-fashioned gunplay.
