 What the gently caress is WARFACE? WARFACE (mind the caps) is the world's first "AAA F2P Social FPS" in which you shoot people. With guns. It runs on Cry Engine 3, and it features and extensive co-op campaign. Basically there is this originzation called WARFACE, and they fight the evil organization known as How does this poo poo play? Basically it has typical FPS controls, however you can also slide around like an idiot and vault over things, do parkour, and hoist buddies over walls. There are 4 classes: Rifleman, who provides ammo, Medic, who heals people, Engineer, who repairs armor, and Sniper, who does nothing. The co-op campaign has lots of man shooting. You can also shoot other mans in multiplayer. It has a Crysis style attachment system where you can swap poo poo out in real time.  How do I sign up? http://www.warface.com Where do I find some cool dudes to play with? http://beta.gface.com/Raneman Are there any trailers or anything? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L9U1OGv-Ag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpFZ0UHW0rw

Huh, doesn't look too groundbreaking, but coop is always fun and it's pretty. Is there any word on how/when people get picked for beta access?

I signed up for it and it came like 2 weeks later, they go in waves. Waves are getting bigger and bigger so you should get in fairly fast.

I didn't care about this game at all until I noticed it has a slide mechanic. Can you shoot while sliding? It's the one mechanic my FPS experience has been missing dearly since Brink crashed and burned.

I've heard that the co-op in the US/EU version of Warface is really easy - anyone in the beta able to confirm? Because when I played a bit of the Russian version last year, it was BRUTAL hard. You were lucky if you made it thirty seconds out of the chopper without someone going down. I kinda appreciated the game having the balls to put players through the wringer like that.

Just played a hard mission, and holy poo poo. Total squad wipe within 1 minute. This game is brutal on the double reward hard missions.

The easy and normal are trivial, but there is a reason double reward gives double reward. I played that mission 3 times and it usually went like this: We start the mission, the heli opens its ports. We immediately take fire and get just short of being killed. After everyone is healed up the heli deploys us into the battle. We usually clean up the starting enemies, and then we progess to a chokepoint in which one of our riflemen gets shot down, our medic goes to revive, medic gets shot, squad medic is now dead. No one can be revived anymore now. The rest of the squad tries to progress and dies. That's XCOM!

Looks like the hard missions are also the only source of "crowns." Which are a currency that you need to unlock some special items.

titaniumone posted:I just got invited to this. What's up with this GFace browser plugin bullshit? Yeah, for a moment I got confused and thought this is some kind of ploy to get people to sign up with some social network site. Anyways, I just got in as well so it seems a whole wave was sent out. Edit: Goddamn, Co-op has some inept-rear end fuckers. We just had that section in the greenhouse, where you face a heavily armored guy that you can only wound from behind. He has a pretty big gun, but he turns slowly and occasionally stands competely still to reload, and there's plenty of cover everywhere. Sounds easy enough, right? One guy gets his attention, the others unload on his back, then rinse repeat when he turns around. Nope, not when your team consists of one sniper just cowering behind cover doing gently caress all and the other guy following directly behind me like a puppy only to later switch to the "hide in cover and plink with your pistol" policy that worked so well for the sniper. Eventually I had to resort to waiting until he reloaded, then run out in the open and blast his back with a shotguns hit or two before scrambling back to cover hoping that he doesn't manage to mulch me. That said, playing a medic is pretty fun, even if people will occasionally bitch at you for not running out in front of a HMG to revive their useless asses.

I'm in the beta, but I'm honestly considering just downloading the Russian version again. Why the gently caress is it in browser now? Now the game looks like rear end and the mouse controls barely work. They completely hosed the game which is disappointing because I loved the Russian version. Ridiculous. edit: It seems the devs don't really care either. I think this game is already dead.  Roman is an admin on the GFace site. This one only one of a few replies to the endless problems people have been having with this game. RIP WARFACE I guess. StabMasterArson fucked around with this message at Mar 7, 2013 around 14:13 |

Just played this game. Co-Op was way too easy. Graphics are pretty good for a browser game and animations etc were ok a bit buggy here and there. Sliding is unnecessary but fun I guess. I also had problems with the plugins. It kept asking me to install add on for chrome over and over, had no problems playing with firefox. Some issues with the hit registry but MP versus was pretty fun. This game definitely has potential and I like the built in clan support and stats. Maps seemed kind of small for TDM and Co-Op is too linear for me. Like most F2P games the people that are experienced and pay money have big advantages like body armor and 1 hit sniper rifles.I prob will have some keys to give away Ill post when I get more.

I've only done Easy and Normal so far. Easy was easy as poo poo with me only dying once to me being a dumbass and dropping into the middle of a group of enemies without looking first. Normal wasn't hard, but it the mission was really fun(the one where you take the gunboat down the river). Hopefully Hard will be hard as hell. Also, if it looks like poo poo, turn on antialiasing and motionblur. It seemed like that triggered it to turn on a LOT more graphical effects for me than just those two. Not standalone version good, but better for sure. Also, loving the sound. The guns have a really nice thump that makes combat feel hectic.

Basically everything I do makes it crash and the mouse movement in-game feels like poo poo. I'm just going to blame all of it on the browser based nature because the Russian version was fine. edit: Also that isn't hyperbole the game has crashed 15+ times and I've only made it into a match once.

I've tried 2 different mice and a 360 controller and all of them have this really weird deadzone in Warface that makes hitting anything very difficult. I've turned off acceleration, changed deadzones and nothing. I've got all the settings on max but it still felt like the Russian version looked a lot better. Filed a few support tickets too, with no reply.

Yeah, the game just doesn't recognize small amounts of mouse movement so it's impossible to aim precisely. It's kind of incredible how bad this version is compared to the Russian one.

That's weird, while the game does also "launch" in the browser for me, it properly switches out of it and into fullscreen mode once a round actually starts and controls and graphics work just fine as if it started from an external .exe. I guess I'm just lucky, this is on firefox for what it's worth. Anyways, they've got an event/stresstest going on today. If you play for at least an hour between 18:00-20:00 CET (09:00-13:00 PST) you'll get 400 of their funbucks.

For a Crytek game this is graphically underwhelming. It's like Call Of Duty with worse gun models. Bit weird how little is in the store, with everything being locked and no clue as to when you get access to it.

Is it meant to redownload the game each time you try and run it? Or is it just doing something different the second time. Definitely not a fan of the browser based idea, although it pulls it off much better than I would have thought it would.

Got into the beta last night and yeah, this is easily the prettiest browser game ever. However the player base seems dumb as hell. I couldn't complete the normal mission because either they couldn't figure out how to kill the heavy gunner, or when we got jumped by the guy with the cannon at the end they tried to fight everyone at point blank range with a shotgun rather then just run ten feet to the helicopter and checkpoint us back to life. The game is... okay. It is there, but it's nothing spectacular and seems like it's going to be a grind fest to get anything.

Got the beta today, forgot I signed up for it. Gameplay was smooth for me, I was really surprised with it being a beta browser game. Mostly only done co-op so far, some of the movement can be clunky with teammates in mostly tight corridors all the time, but some of that was my fault with not being the best with the controls. They REALLY need to fix going from crouch to prone. Having to stand up after crouching to go prone is terrible. I finally had a good team during the hard mission and then the servers went down.  And I don't know if it's a friendlist or what but I tried making a "connection" with Raneman in the GFace thing. I don't know if we have to touch penises now or what but I tried to create a Goon group in it.

Everything feels so floaty and awkward and laggy (particularly mouse control), using items and team-actions on teammates feels like the Three Stooges, the non-sniper guns feel under-powered (especially the shotguns), parts of the interface feel like it was a bad pc port (like not being able to type chat out in the lobbies), and the NPCs and bosses don't feel fun to fight. 9/10

I'm terrible in PVP but getting the hang of co-op. I really like the co-op actually. It requires teamwork, especially the pro levels, and can be pretty tough even if your team is working together. PVP I just get spawn killed and everyone is either running sniper or engineer with the mine. It's very run and gun and while team abilities are allowed, everyone dies too fast to take advantage of it. Haven't had good experiences with the handful of matches I've tried. I like how the co-op missions are rotated each day, makes me log in every day and play a few matches. gently caress the mech levels though, I think I beat two out of thirty tries.
