  Read through this, some of the old CE2 features work for the new CE3 version, just test it.

  Thanks for the info; only thing is, the commands he listed do not seem to work with the latest Crydev release. The console keeps saying, "unknown command."

  CryEngine has Screenspace Realtime Reflections, and apart from this supports Cubemap/Environment Probe Reflections.
  
  Note that for Screenspace Reflections to kick in, your Material needs to be above a certain Glossiness Threshold (can be controlled through CVars).
  
  If you are looking for reflections through a second render target, that's not currently possible with the FreeSDK (as far as i'm aware).

  What is this CVars you're talking about? I'm not familiar with that term.

  yeah, sorry - should have explained that better. CVars are (as posted by repete) Console Variables.
  
  If you are not sure how to modify something in the engine, click on the "..." button next to the console's input field to find a list of all cvars or if you remember a cvars name partially type in "?partOfTheName" (e.g. "?SSAO" gives you commands that include "ssao").
  
  Here's a good write up on reflections:
  http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC2/Environment+Probes
  and a pretty good (community created) ssr summary (including the cvar explanation )
