Warface is a
free-to-play online
first-person shooter developed by
Crytek Kiev[2] and co-produced by Crytek Seoul and Crytek Frankfurt
[3] with
Crytek UK developing the
Xbox 360 port. The game was developed with Crytek's
CryEngine 3. The Xbox 360 port was discontinued on February 1, 2015.
As players play and complete matches, they will earn
experience points (XP), Warface Dollars ($), and vendor points (VP); how much is earned varies depending on the number of players in the lobby (in order to prevent or reduce potential boosting among players), how quickly the match is finished, and the amount of score and kills. Warface Dollars can be used to purchase certain weapons and items for the player's classes, while Vendor points contribute toward unlocking new items for purchase in one of three categories: Weapons, Outfits, and Equipment. Booster packs are available for sale in the in-game store, allowing the player to earn additional XP, $, and VP.
The game features four different classes: Rifleman, Medic, Engineer, and Sniper. The main functions of each class perform in a similar manner to those in
Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Each class has its own unique type of primary weapons and "Special Action" (with exception to the Sniper) and are each uniquely suited for different roles.
Rifleman: The balanced class, a Rifleman is all providing cover fire and is the driving force in the team. Made for close to medium range combat scenarios, thanks to either their
assault rifles or
light machine guns. A Rifleman's Special Action is resupplying ammo to their teammates and themselves while in combat.
Medic: The Medic class is built for close combat, equipped with
shotguns and a light pistol. The Medic has the ability to heal themselves and their allies. Fallen allies can be revived with a defibrillator.
Engineer: The Engineer is tactically equipped for close to medium range, equipped with either
submachine guns or
compact assault rifles. The class's Special Action is the ability to restore allies' armor as well as their own. Engineers can also plant
claymores that detonate on a moment's notice.
Sniper: The Sniper class is silent but deadly. Equipped for long range combat scenarios with
sniper rifles, as stated before, they hold no special action; but they can place anti-personnel mines if they are purchased for the class. The sniper is also the ideal "cover" for the other team members.
All weapons in the game have different names for copyright reasons. For example, the Rifleman's starting primary is the
M4A1, but is referred to as the R4A1 in-game. An exception is the
F2000.
