Overview[]

Warface provides gamers with a constantly updated extensive PvE universe full of dramatic multiplayer co-op missions, a full set of class based PVP, and is available internationally on the PC as an Open Beta. Warface is supported by a free-to-play business model.

Warface was developed by Crytek Kiev with the help of Tencent. On 2019, the developers of Warface left Crytek Kiev to form an independent development company, Blackwood Games, which developed the game until 2021. On 2021, the developers left Blackwood Games to create a new studio, Pixagon Games, which will take over all further development of Warface along with Allods Team.

The Russian version is the Main Server of Warface.

Types of Combat[]

Versus:

Warface's Player-Versus-Player; Players have 5 different classes to choose from, and can engage in a multitude of game types, such as the typical Team Deathmatch, Plant The Bomb, Free For All, Storm, and more.

Squad fighting a Blackwood Battle-Mech

The Player / Team must complete the given objectives in order to come out as victorious over the other Players / Team. These objectives differ depending on game type.

Co-op:[]

A team of up to 5 Players engage in combat against the AI-driven Blackwood forces in dozens of scenarios at different levels of difficulty. These scenarios can be as simple as taking down a primary target (essentially a "Boss"), or escorting vehicles while Blackwood troops advance. New PvE Missions are added in daily, ensuring that Players stay entertained even after they beat the previous missions.

Player Classes[]

Rifleman

Rifleman:[]

Engineer

Engineer Planting Claymore

The bread-and-butter of any squad, the Rifleman excels at medium range, out of reach for Engineers and Medics, and too close-range for Snipers. Typical Rifleman guns consist of Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, Carbines, and others.

Medic

Medic Using Defibrillator

Engineer:[]

The Engineer is more mobile and close-range than the Rifleman, and as such is equipped primarily with SMGs and other fast rate-of-fire guns. These SMGs are devastating at close range, but lose their power over distance, thus putting the Engineer at a closer engagement range than the Rifleman.

Medic:[]

A specialty class dedicated to keeping the team alive and in good shape. While not quite suited for 1v1 combat, Medics are equipped with shotguns that are absolutely destructive at close range.

Sniper:[]

Sniper

The only class that is actually usable at long range belongs to the Sniper. The Sniper's bolt-action or semi-auto Sniper Rifle allows it to kill individual enemy troops in a single hit or two.

SED:[]

A class with unsurpassed armor that is ideal for players preferring a class for "tank"-oriented tactics. Has the ability to perform co-op climbs alone, as well as the inability to be knocked down.
