Crysis Sandbox Editor
I've been trying out the Crysis Sandbox Editor ... very neat, it lets you explore the demo map, you can fly around inside the map to explore it
and then drop in at any point using CTRL + G to play, you can also add weapons and other objects by dragging them into the game.
the Sandbox Editor installer is located here ... Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Sandbox2 Installer

Crysis Editor Hints and Tips - (originally posted by gord on OcUK)
Installing the editor
Firstly, you need to install the editor. This is found at:
Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Sandbox2 Installer
Secondly you need to run the editor, this is not done from in the game. The editor runs as a window. You will find the editor in:
Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Bin32\Editor.exe
Loading in a map
Firstly you need to load in the map, so go to file, open and go to islands (you should alread be in the levels folder, under game), i believe there is only one island you can load named island.cry
This will take a while to load, as its loading all of the map info, but if you havn't edited a map before this loading is hardly anything and is amazing considering the scale of what its loading.
Navigating the map
CryEditor gives you an amazing real time display of whats going on in your map, but imagine the world is in pause until you get in-game. To move around this map use WASD as you would any FPS. Other controls include holding right click and rotating with the mouse to move your view. Scrolling the mouse wheel will zoom in and out. Holding the mouse wheel down and moving the mouse up/down will change your elevation.
Getting in-game
The wonderful thing with cryeditor is the immediate drop-in. This is done with ctrl+g. Be careful you will literally drop in from your view, so if your miles high you will die. Get the view near the ground.
Adding Items
On the right of the screen are your main tools. You should be on Objects, where you will see Entities. This are things you can add to a level. You can drag any of these items into the map, its best to do this near the ground at eye level, otherwise you can have items added below the map. If you cant find an item but know it is on the map then you can always duplicate that item. You can do this by clicking the item in the main window. Make sure you do not have anything on the right tools selected otherwise you cant select items. Then press ctrl+c to duplicate the item.
Moving items
At the top of the screen you should see a pointer selected. The tools next to this dictate move, scale, rotate etc. In order to move anything in the game select the move tool and put your mouse over an item. You should see several axis on which you can control. You can control multiple axis at a time by hovering over the square between two axis. Then simply left click and hold and drag.

Still strange why my quad is getting no stress atall really, i get more in Photoshop sometimes 
, but it's not maxing out 1 core at all, if anything its using just over half of one.
Ran the two benchmarks, cpu used no more then 28% max, so just over 1 core....
CPU AVG FPS > GPU AVG FPS
CPU - Q6600 @ 3.3GHz
GPU - 8800GTX @ Stock for now.

So....can someone tell me why you need a powerful rig to run this game?
my pc is old-hat but it still ran the demo ok(admittedly without the dx10 eye candy) on mediums (evga 7600gt ko and then some)
so if I can play the game fine on a 76 why are some people struggling with 88's?

Guys trying to find ways to max out this game in Win XP go http://www.crysis-online.com/forum/index.php?topic=11837.0#msg203789] here[/url]. Basically config hack will enable, Very High settings under XP 
i have got to admit, it looks lush better sunlight, waves... altho i get only about 30-40 fps with E6750 @3.6Ghz 24/7, untouched GTX and 2gig of crucial ballistix ram @C4.
Some peeps dont understand, they think that this will enable DX10 in Crysis under Windows XP, it wont! DX10 will still look better (paralax rendering - whatever it is and many other features are found in dx10 and not dx9).

Indeed. The DX9 path is much less stressful than the DX10 path...and much less good looking
Geforce 8800GT is definitely the way to go ... more bang for less bucks & outclasses the more expensive GTS, you may have problems finding one coz they're selling out fast ...
