They seem to have gone so far as to actually mimic human combatants, relying of more 'conventional' forces such as dedicated infantry, armor and air units. The Ceph in Crysis 2, which still relate to the aliens from the original games, appear to employ different strategies and technologies than the group at Lingshan, as well as having a different morphology. The ice sphere is notably absent in the comic, though it is possible for it to be simply out of view. There are also living tentacles inside the alien ship, which no longer has an anti-gravitational field. Other variants are also seen, such as a small drone-like walker and a giant bipedal exoskeleton. However, the tentacles are black and the armor seems be slightly different than what's seen in New York. Weapons seemed to follow a pattern of ambient energy absorption: practically all units had the ability to drain nearby electrical sources, and more direct weapons came in the form of freeze rays and high-powered icicle launchers, as well as energy-based explosives and more 'traditional' energy beams.ĭuring the Crysis Comic, the bipedal Ceph exoskeletons used in the New York Incursion 2 years later seem to be available on Lingshan as well. This particular army was composed almost entirely of robotic units or heavily armored weaponized 'exosuits'. Robotic Ceph forces overwhelmed US and NK forces remaining in Lingshan, forcing them to evacuate the US sanctioned a limited nuclear strike against the ice sphere, but instead of dispersing, the sphere absorbed the nuclear explosion and expanded, prompting the Ceph to send a massive counterattack that sank the entire US fleet. Inevitably, the Koreans under General Kyong succeeded in activating the structure (which Kyong called a 'temple') inadvertently awakening the Ceph, who shortly thereafter deployed an 'ice sphere' which flash froze most of the island and killed everything that was within range.

Rosenthal, also sent American military forces backed by the USS Constitution carrier group in for a rescue mission and to prevent the KPA from acquiring the artifacts.

In turn, the United States, after being urgently contacted by Dr. Subsequently, the North Korean government became aware of the alien technology and dispatched the Korean People's Army to secure the Lingshan Islands in an attempt to appropriate it. Rosenthal, who had unearthed fragments of their technology in other parts of the world. During Crysis, the Ceph (though not referred in name) were first 'officially' discovered in the Lingshan Islands by a CIA-tracked archaeological expedition led by Dr.
