Warface - MBT in full swing!



    It is surprising that this event was left without attention on Habré. I hasten to rectify the situation.

    As early as April 12, Crytek and Mail.Ru Group announced the launch of an open beta test of their new online shooter called Warface. What is noteworthy - Russian players were the first in the world to have a unique opportunity to test themselves on the battlefields in Warface.

    Warface is a multiplayer online shooter distributed under the Free2Play model . Under cat I’ll give a small squeeze of information about the game and about the developers. If you are interested in more detailed information, then it is better to immediately go to the official Warface website in Russia . Better yet, download the game and see for yourself.

    Free2play


    All the main game content in Warface is provided for free, but those who do not find it enough will be able to purchase additional items for real money such as cooler weapons, equipment and various equipment. All of the above can be purchased for in-game points. There are three types of currency in the game:
    • warbucks - earned in battles
    • loans - the currency received for real funds
    • crowns - special points received for completing group missions

    Earning crowns is the hardest thing, therefore, items purchased for this currency have the highest rates.

    About the game


    I’ll tell you about the game very briefly, since everything is described in sufficient detail on the off-site site .
    Warface has two game modes - PvE and PvP. Each mode, in turn, includes several different types of missions / modes for every taste:

    PvE
    • killing the boss - the goal of the mission is to kill a strong and dangerous opponent
    • arena - defense at one point from advancing enemy units
    • safari - following to a helicopter on vehicles fired from all sides
    • escort - escorting equipment to a safe point

    PvP
    • team battle - standard mode for any online shooter
    • assault - battle for control points
    • detonation - the familiar mode with the installation and detonation of a bomb
    • meat grinder - everyone fights for himself
    • capture is also a familiar mode with flag capture
    • Destruction - there are two ways to achieve victory in this mode: strike an air strike at enemy positions three times or destroy 120 enemies. To trigger airstrike, hold the control point located in the center of the map

    In PvE mode, there are three difficulty levels:
    • light (training)
    • complicated
    • Pros (award x2)

    PvE missions with difficulty levels “Complex” and “Pros” are updated every day at 4 am Moscow time. The training mission, in my opinion, does not change.

    The game has a division of soldiers by specialization - a physician, engineer, attack aircraft and sniper. Each class has its own advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, for the implementation of complex PvE missions, a well-coordinated game of all classes is important.

    The developers added to the game a diverse arsenal of weapons, among which almost all types of weapons are presented - from pistols to sniper rifles. Also, as already mentioned, you can buy various gear and equipment, for example, silencers, sights, grenades, etc.

    And, of course, the game has achievements, ranks, gimmicks and clans - in general, all that you can brag to your friends. By the way, the developers also did not forget about the game friend list.

    About development


    The developer is the world famous company Crytek, famous for such single projects as Far Cry, Crysis 1 and Crysis 2. Warface ( the name does not have “Cry” ?! ) uses the same engine as Crysis 2 - it’s already received many CryENGINE3 awards.

    Work on the project is going on simultaneously in three company studios - Kiev, Frankfurt and Seoul. The main work is carried out in Kiev, and the Seoul and Frankfurt offices provide assistance in creating the game. Developers from Kiev are quite active in conducting a video blog in Russian , in which they talk a lot about the intricacies of the game, the history of its creation, what and how it was created, and answer users' questions.

    On December 16, it became known that Mail.Ru Group would be engaged in publishing the game in Russia, and on March 1, the start of accepting applications for the Warface closed beta testing was announced. Already on the PTA game showed amazing results - there were so many people who wanted to get acquainted with the shooter that I had to connect more than 20 additional servers.

    In addition to the publication, the task of Mail.Ru includes the full localization of the game in Russian. The actor Maxim Averin and the famous TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva were invited to voice acting. Localization, in my opinion, in general came out very decent. Good emotional dubbing, the interface is also very well translated, with the exception of a few minor nuances that are likely to be corrected for the release.
