Last Wednesday someone somewhere accidentally listed Crysis 3 on Origin.  The listing was, of course, almost immediately pulled down, but the internet never forgets what has been posted on it and soon the gaming media was abuzz with articles like this one.  Later in the day, EA issued a statement that declared, "The best kept secret in shooters just can’t be contained.  Stay tuned for more information on April 16^th."  Well, April 16^th is here and EA has delivered on their promise.  So just what did we learn today?
