Forgot the name of a game

Open

Around 2005-2007 I played a demo of a very demanding PC game. Burned my PC.

A Sci-fi FPS, post apocalyptic setting, just like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Metro 2033 or Prey. Maybe it never launched.

The guy was heavily armored with an assault rifle with high power optics. The level location resembled sewers or a tunnel of some kind. I was stunned by how extremely detailed graphics it had at the time. I had around 10fps, literally unplayable.

Both the game icon and launch cinematic featured a red or green, birdlike head, with a beak belonging to a raven or a crow.

My guess, the title itself could have been Prey or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. However, the game's shortcut had a different appearance from those two.

Would be cool to find and play the game again.

Thanks for trying to help in advance.

"heavily armored with an assault rifle with high power optics"

Sounds like Crysis to me (the first of that series)

Good guess. I was expecting this, but no.

Key words for the title from what I remember: Ranger, Stalker, Scavenger, Predator, Prey, War.

Could have been named in this format: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I never played that so I checked it out, but no. Dated graphics though.

Actually, more like a vulture's skull logo. No idea about the developer either. I checked Raven Software first, but to no avail.

Thanks, should definitely be there. So far, E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy, Singularity and Area 51 are the best finds.

I remember I was unable to play the demo on a LAN in 2005

Prey wasn't a post apocalyptic game. It was set on an alien spaceship and it also didn't have a guy in a tech suit. Sorry.

I bought it few years ago, because I thought it would be it. Never got to play it though.

I got some solid tips but I found two of them yesterday. Seems I did not look carefully. Area 51 is new though!

Edit: Maybe even up to 2011, time flies like hell. I only know it was before I played Crysis 1, that is for sure.
Edit 2: Crysis 1 was released in 2007, but I did not play it straight away. Maybe a year or two after it became popular.

hmm.. idk about the specs/unplayable part or sewers, but it kinda sounds like GOW (orig)

GOW is played from an over the shoulder perspective, so no. However, just yesterday, I was thinking of getting it for old times sake.
