Introduction
If you don't want to use Depth of field and if you are unable to change to the desired resolution from the game itself, I will show you how to do so in an alternative way.
How to?
First of all, you need to go to the game's Configuration file location, which you can find it by navigating to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Crysis.

Then, double click on the game.cfg file and open it with Notepad.

Now change the value of these two lines:

r_Width = XXXX



and

r_Height = YYYY



If you want to play the game at 1920 x 1080 resolution (1080p) you need to replace "XXXX" with 1920 and "YYYY" with 1080. Please note that if you happen to have a 2K or 4K monitor you have to change these values accordingly! For e.g. if you want to play Crysis at a 4K resolution (omfg!), you need to replace "XXXX" with 3840 and "YYYY" with 2160.
The Result
If you have followed correctly the above steps, then the result should look like this:

Extra notes
If you want to be sure that the game won't change to another resolution you can mark the file (game.cfg) as Read-only to prevent Crysis from messing with it. To do so, right click on game.cfg, select Properties, click on Read-only, then select Apply and OK.
Depth of field
If you happen to be like me and absolutely hate the video option called Depth of field (DOF) then I'm glad that I can help you by showing you how to disable it. Unfortunately there isn't such an option in the game's video settings, but don't despair, 'cause there is one other way to disable it.

You have to go to the game's root directory (by default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis").

Afterwards, you have to create a "System.cfg" file with a text editor (Notepad will do just fine).

Then, add the following lines:

con_restricted=0 (if not existing!)

and

r_depthoffield=0

If you have difficulties in doing any of the above, you can simply just download the file from here [s.go.ro] (password: 771853) and extract the content of the archive in the game folder (by default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Crysis").

Again, if you have followed correctly the above steps, then the result should look like this:

P.S.
Don't you forget that this is the original and the best Crysis game in the series!

You need to untick "Hide extensions for known file types" in Folder Options.

@♿SoSo: You have to enter the game at least once, so that the "game.cfg" file gets generated :)

btw, writing :green_dot: -w = 1920 -h = 1080 :green_dot: works just fine, you dont have to edit any files.
