First Impression: Warface (PC)

Hey Gamers!

For the last week or so I have been playing Warface, a Free to Play(F2P) First Person Shooter(FPS). Let me start off by giving a little bit of information on the game. It is currently in closed beta, but you can register for a spot on their website. The developer is Crytek Kiev, and is being published by Trecent Holdings, Nexon, and Trion Worlds. The engine it is being ran on is the CryEngine 3.

First off the graphics. Now graphics are not everything, but they are important, that said, the game looks gorgeous especially for a Free to Play game. The textures are really nice, and you won't be disappointed by the colors and shadows either. Overall it is very crisp and I love it!

Next is game play. If you are familiar with any of the Crysis games it feels the same. The movements feel the same as well. Gun game play is very nice. People have complained about the SMGs being overpowered, but to me the bad accuracy at a distance is enough to bring down the damage at close range. The shotguns are very powerful at close range. You will barley leave a scratch beyond that, and that is how it should be in my opinion. The assault rifles are really nice as well. The recoil can be a pain so I recommend tapping the mouse button when shooting at a distance. Sniper rifles seem fine to me, except maybe they need a little more recoil on the semi-automatic snipers.

In Warface there is four classes; Medic, Assault, Engineer, and Recon. The Medic can only use a shotgun as the main weapon. They can revive fallen teammates, there is a recharge after reviving, and health packs. To use the health packs you have to go up to someone and hold the right mouse button to heal them, or click the left mouse button to heal your self. Now when I found out they could only use shotguns I was against it, but after playing it for a while I came to love it. I found out, that if you use the medic correctly, as in the back of the group, you really help the team out. By reviving or healing fellow teammates. Or cover a corner and blast foes away with your shotgun. Next is the Assualt. Not to much to them. They use the assault rifles and hand out ammo the same way you give health to others or yourself. Then the engineer. They use SMGs and they can repair your armor or repair their own. Once again the same way as they healing and giving ammo out. They also have one claymore which comes and handy when defending spots, or corners. Last is the sniper, and well the just snipe.

Right now there are a few game modes; Teamdeath Match, Free For All, Storm, and Plant the Bomb. Everyone know about the fist two, so I will talk about the lat two. Storm has three capture points, but to move on to the next you have to capture the first and so on. There are defenders and attackers, and the attackers have 10 minutes to capture them. After the attackers either take them or lose the teams switch and the defenders have to take more than them in the same amount of time. In plant the bomb it is exactly like Search and Destroy in Call of Duty.

Overall I am really enjoying this game and I see my self playing it for a while if it continues on the path it is on. I recommend that you go to their website and regster for the beta right away. I will be keeping up with this game and  let you know of any updates in the future.

P.S. sorry for the wait everyone, things have gotten busy for me latly but I should be putting news up everyday or every other day.
