This class based shooter has a more traditional military feel than many other free games on the market, while still keeping a fast arcadey pace.
That said, while the action is fast and frantic, it retains some realism. Developer Crytech have kept you feeling nice and squishy – with a full burst from an automatic weapon more than enough to end your current life. It’s a good balance that stops you getting complacent as you may in a more gung-ho shooter, but doesn’t go full simulation like Counter Strike.
A good selection of maps also keep you thinking tactically for your team, making sure that your next spawn will compliment your side’s current makeup alongside the map. Some more open maps may see you selecting a sniper to offer distance support to your team of shotgun wielding maniacs, while on a tighter map the same team may be better served with you playing the part of a medic to get them back in the fight.
The only downside is that like many free to play games, there are some pay-to-win traps, and the already dedicated player base can be hard to break into unless you are particularly gifted at first-person shooters. Though in fairness, a good XP and match making system go some way to combating this.
Still, Warface looks great, its scalable for all systems, and fast class based action make it easy to recommend to shooter fans looking for a challenge
