Warface

Warface is a free-to-play online FPS from Crytek, makers of the Far Cry and Crysis series of games, that utilizes the company’s proprietary CryEngine to provide first-rate graphics and a hard-hitting, fast-paced shooter experience. In the near future, a long-running global recession has brought about countless wars, and it’s up to the players to choose a side and fight for justice or for their own personal enrichment. Choose your class, choose your battleground, and prepare to engage in intense firefights that place as much value on teamwork as on individual skill with your weapon.

There are four classes in Warface – rifleman, sniper, medic, and engineer – and all have to work together to complete the objective at hand. There are loads of options for modifying your chosen class’s primary and secondary weapons, so no two characters ever play quite the same. In combat, you’ll utilize several traditional and high-intensity moves, such as vaulting over obstacles or sliding to take out the bad guys, and any class might be called upon to help out an ally in need.

Battles in Warface take place all over the world, from the Balkans of Eastern Europe to the crowded city streets of Asia to the oil fields of the Middle East. There is a wide variety of mission types available, in both PvP and co-operative PvE. In PvP missions, players choose one of the two sides in the global war: the U.S. military splinter group Warface or the opportunistic mercenaries of Blackwood. Warface also recently introduced a new Battle Royale mode with a brand new PvP map created especially for the Battle Royale mode.

The PvE mission types run the gamut of gameplay. One type of mission, Cyber Horde, was added during Halloween 2013 and tasks players with escorting a truck through territory that’s infested with cyborg zombies. Other PvE mission types see players searching for a mech in a hostile village or playing through a series of three missions.
