I.E. they've completely embraced a live service game business model and until they can make Crysis be that it's on hold. There were already some leaks/rumors over the last 12-months regarding this including at some point an early leaked version of an MMO version of Crysis. I've been checking up on this since I'm a big fan of three main games and Warhead and came across info about the MMO stuff last month but it wasn't new.

A Crysis MMO... I dunno... the big schtick for Crysis are suites with mode switching for situations. Now instead of mode switching it's specialized suites/training to get the most out of it, but thanks to that they can be better than the old multimode suites?

Crysis took the special out of the 'character' and put it in the gear. That's a hard sell for an MMO unless it will work like jobs in FFXIV.
