How will Warface fare out west?
In the face of colorful F2P shooters like Tribes: Ascend, Team Fortress 2, Super Monday Night Combat, and PlanetSide 2, it’s easy to label Warface “generic.” I can point out that its character animations are fantastic, or that its hitboxes seem flawless, but it lacks a distinct hook. It looks like other war shooters, and so it will be judged alongside them.
I was pleased to find, however, that I can still enjoy a straightforward assault rifle vs. SMG vs. sniper rifle vs. shotgun dynamic, even if it’s among the corrugated shipping containers I’ve already spent so much time lurking behind. There are a lot of people playing Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer every day (34,150 on Steam at the time of writing), and Warface is an alternative with fewer power chords and less kill streak clutter. It has its own ideas, too, such as a teamwork lift maneuver that requires players to work together, and there’s the co-op PvE I haven’t played yet.
If you’re more patient than I am, you can sign up for the English closed beta at the official site. On the way, you’ll run into one thing that has to change if Crytek and Trion want to convince anyone: the phrase “AAA4Free social FPS service.” Yuck.

Pro: The hitbox works.
