    This war by far the best shooter game I have ever experienced, and outperforms any Call of Duty any day.

Once used to the added armor system, more complex and balanced melee system, and other bits of realism. This game to many would be like a chance to play Call of Duty without CoD logic. As someone who wishes to create the next generation of video games, I myself could best describe this as inspiration, and I, as well as countless others think it was a poor decision to pull this game from the Xbox community.

And as such, reviews like this are exactly what the devo team are hoping to see in order to make the appropriate tweaks. Here's my suggestions from the POV of a gamer reflecting on gameplay:

    the co-op action needs balance. One of the most off-setting elements is when players encounter a "special enemy" (heavy trooper, someone with a significant health gauge). It's cool to have a challenge. But the challenge is far too great with the heavy trooper whose only weakness is the miniscule white light on his back, which is ridiculously anno'ying to shoot at.

    I wouldn't mind fighting more of these guys if they weren't made so unrealistically tough.

    Also, team failure results in the end of the co-op match. big mistake. it takes so long just to find a match, and even when you do, who knows if the host in the lobby is paying attention to launch the game. one could be jumping lobby to lobby for a LONG time. Or when you jump in, you do so just as a team is losing, or has already lost-- back to the lobby.

    This is painful, annoying, and time consuming.

    I would like this game much more if upon losing everyone spawned at the last checkpoint, or the beginning of the mission.

    Enemy AI doesn't seem to have the will to live. They run right out at you. This makes the game feel like it came out of the 90s. With more demand for realism in games, i too would liek ot see adversaries with a sense of self preservation, ie taking cover, calling for back up (maybe have sections of were if those enemies arent taken out within a time limit back up arrives, or other sections of a map where enemies infinitely spawn until the team can advance despite that spawn and thus disrupt that spawn).

    I'm not concerned about graphics or hit detection (which are issues) but i feel those issues are usually on devos minds anyway and it will be handled.

    Balance, respawn, and enemy AI--these are my suggestions.    … Expand

    This game is bringing new features on a daily basis, if anything it might make COD producers stop over-charging for maps and other things all the time and make them come up with something new instead of every COD is the same but with new maps.

    I think that people are over exaggerating it being bad, this is a god damn beta and people are freaking out saying that it is not good and it is awful! You think top games like Battlefield and CoD were perfect in their Betas and had no errors at all? They are trying to fix all they can and YOU yes YOU are suppose to send them error reports and email them if something is wrong.

So next time you think about judging something actually take time and effort into it other than just giving it a bad review because you are bad. People are actually complaining that they can not kill an enemy and it is too hard. It's not your fault that you have terrible game playing skills, NOT THEIRS! I for one, actually send them emails on how they could improve and fix it, not **** and moan about it. TELL THEM, I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THEN ACTUALLY TELL THEM! They made Crysis 1, 2, and 3 so I think they have more expertise than some guy sitting on his damn couch. You people obviously never have heard of a review before...Also what I appreciate about the game is the Co-Op and the missions that you have to do and work together and reach your goal. The only real big faults I can find are a little lag, some small time glitches and the money problem where you have to play forever to earn some money but that is so the game stays interesting and you have to work towards a common goal. The reason why you have to rent items is so that you are not overpowering every body plus if you think about it 14-30 days is a pretty long time. That's over 336 hours minus an 8 hour sleep period every day which only lowers it to about 224 hours, and that's only if you play it 24/7. So all in all the bad reviews are just another brick in the wall. This game is a 9 only because it is Beta and a few glitches. 9/10 VERY good game, trust me. I have been playing it for a while-I very much so recommend this game. PLEASE give it a few tries and study it before you give it a bad review. This is the developers and producers time, money, and career in your hands. Don't ruin this for them, they are trying REALLY hard for you day and night. Just give them a chance guys. Please? For them and me plus everyone out their that likes this game. Goodbye.… Expand

They may have a gun that takes one shot to kill you, while your gun may take six or seven. That's unfair. Oh, and I forgot to mention that there's no single player gameplay. Multiplayer only (with the exception of the tutorial), I'm afraid.

    Overall - 4/10: Don't get me wrong, Warface has potential. The problem is it's brought down by a storyless, multiplayer only gameplay. If you like war games, I recommend this to you. Who knows, you might enjoy it.    … Expand

Even when enemies do move too shoot you in is in circle or just try to get behind you.

Not only does it cost the earth to buy say, a pair of gloves (And that's rental only) you will be paying loads of money for a week of "Magnificent" Gloves! And also, the spawn system is absolutely terrible. It is very common to spawn, and then immediately die. And the only map you can play on at the moment, isn't so good. But there are really good things about it, for example the guns work so good and the sound effects are great! And another thing they added is the most beautiful thing that was first seen in Crysis, that's right, if you click up on the D- Pad, you will be able to add perks on the fly! As it is a Crytek
    game, we all expect amazing graphic, right? Well there certainly not bad, that's for sure! It's not as good as the newest Cryengine, but it still looks pretty.

    Overall, if you were given the option (Which I highly recommend as it is a free game) you should certainly get due to the shear fun that can be had with the game. It is co-op as well, even though it's not exactly amazing, it's still fun to play. I hope this review helped, thanks for reading!    … Expand

    Warface is a typical F2P FPS game featuring PvP and Co-op game modes. Players can choose from 4 different shooter archetypes including rifleman, medic, engineer, and sniper. Each role has a specific look and loadout as well as a role-specific ability. Rifleman can provide ammo to the group should anybody run out before a checkpoint.

Players can choose from 4 different shooter archetypes including rifleman, medic, engineer, and sniper. Each role has a specific look and loadout as well as a role-specific ability. Rifleman can provide ammo to the group should anybody run out before a checkpoint. Medics, as you might've already guessed, can provide healing to the group as well as revive a downed member -- provided they make it there in time. Engineers can replenish the groups armor. Engineers are also given a claymore, which I have yet to see used properly (or even at all). Lastly, the sniper possesses no special equipment so their role is slightly less involved than the other three.

    Now comes my reasoning for the rating.

    Gameplay: Since I've only played co-op I can't vouch for the PvP aspect of the game. However, I believe you can imagine what it would be like if you combine the previously mentioned 4-role game mechanic with CoD. Co-op takes place in five available maps which change daily(?). The difficulty ranges from easy to difficult and harder maps cannot be accessed until the previous ones are completed. All of the levels have some sort of boss to deal with which will, if you're not careful, eat through your revive tokens in a snap.

    What I like about the gameplay is that while there is a slight learning curve, it's not steep whatsoever. Once you learn the ins and outs of a role, it's easy to succeed. After that, it's just a matter of memorizing the maps and when the boss fights are. Although the process is somewhat slow, you are able to unlock various armor and weapons as well as parts for the guns through the vendor system. Checkpoints are also a godsend because it helps save those precious revive tokens and fills your hp, armor, and grenades. Another point I'd like to make is that TEAMWORK IS IMPORTANT. Too many times have I been in a group of people who just run at a dead sprint to the end without waiting for the rest of the group. This is at the top of my list of...

    Things I didn't like about the gameplay isn't just the unhelpful players but also the trolls and ragers. While it's easy to deal with the verbal ones by muting them, the more toxic ones are selfish and foolhardy. Often times other members are blamed for their failings. I know this is impossible to avoid in any online games but I digress. Another issue I have with gameplay is the repetitiveness. Sure it's a fun grind but getting later items is almost painfully slow. There is the option for VIP membership or individual boosters but I honestly don't see the point of getting them if you can just buy items with the ingame currency. The other issues I have are the 'fairness' of the enemies, specifically the bosses and the spec-op snipers. I understand that boss fights are inherently difficult but it's almost too easy for your entire group to get wiped. As for the snipers, imagine a hacker in CoD or BF games.... yea, they're like that.

    Graphics:

    I'm not going to lie the game looks pretty darn good. It uses the Cryengine and the developers have really used it well. Guns and hands look great up close and the menus are put together well. Enemies come in a few flavors: grunt, shotgun, shield, sniper, and boss. All of the models remain the same from level to level. This is lazy but it adheres to the story of all the enemies are from the same corporation, Blackwood.

    There are plenty of things to look at but if you look hard enough, you can also see a tiny bit of the games flaws. I have, on several occasions, seen enemies that have been killed float in the air. Their bodies frozen in place. This along with some glitches at the end of the match and the only real issues worth noting.

    Overall I gave this a 7/10.    … Expand

    Only free-to-play IF you don't go down the microtransactions trap that the game and it's developer want you to fall into. Awful title, non-existent premise, smudged graphics, spotty hit detection, and otherwise generic in almost every sense.

The upgrades available are weapons & armour are purchased with in game currency, real money or from points earned... this offers more depth in my opinion as it will take weeks to unlock all of the available weapons & then months to earn them all. The classes are are all playable & each has there advantage...My only complaints are lack of maps, Storm only has a couple & TDM is generally played on 3 of the available maps & the lack of players can be frustrating as you're quite often shooting it out with the same people. The server admin (player) can be annoying at times when they create games to suit their load outs, for example a player may have the best knife & anti-melee armour - then creates a knife server where the player dominates (similar again with pistols). Overall it's a great game, but lacks maps & players.… Expand

    A free game that has lots of similarities with COD. Lots of weapons, gear and equipment that can be unlocked very easily (positive and refreshing for a free game). Lots of PvP game modes and also fun to play PvE game modes. I would rate it an 8 if it would not crash so often on the Switch platform, but unfortunately it crashes at least once for every 2 hours played.

    Warface's first impression is good, but when you start to dive deeper into the game, you'll encounter some disturbing issues. Unlocking items is very hard to complete and for some people that is enough to stop playing the game completely. The overall experience is mediocre, but just won't do it for some players.
