Put On Your Warface for Crytek's Free To Play Shooter

what is parchment v2 / v1?

I feel that in todays market you need to show off a little more than just your stock loadout of classes and some pretty graphics. As a first trailer it doesn't really grab you one way or another.

Looks boring!

strap it on

Just waiting for them hats.

A free social FPS?

Finally! I've been waiting for years for an FPS that I can play with other people!!

inb4 $100 ring to marry other players in cash shop.

Let me see it.

Wait isn't that the Locust Queen voice actress from GoW?

Warface sounds like a shitty supervillain.

Warface is an awful name.

Warface...Book? sorry. This looks like Battlefield 3 meets Blacklight: Retribution, but hopefully it will play more like the former.

Didn't think it looked very asian... then the mech busted through the wall.

It's good to see that 2142 is getting another expansion pack.

Shoot them in the Warface(TM)!!

I bet they started with WarCry but some jerks already trademarked it for something else.

Or maybe I give Crytek too much credit for coming up with reasonable "Cry" names for all their previous games.

LOL! Giantbomb messed up and posted a BF3 trailer instead of warface.

Awww, no Cry in the name? Crysis, i am dissapointed.

It's like, aggressively standard.

Wait isn't that the Locust Queen voice actress from GoW?

now

Music kinda sounds like Rage against the machine - Guerilla radio?

That medic went all up on that dudes body to revive him.

Okay when this thing got at first announced i considered giving it a chance even with that completly stupid name. Because, hey! There could be something pretty cool hidden there if it's done by crytek and they are an german studio, so i guess i'm kinda supposed to root for them as somebody from germany.

So i started into this trailer kinda optimistic... and it all went downhill when i heard that ladys voiceover, couldn't get worse then that. Hey at least it looks kinda cool in some military way... somewhat generic... wait this is generic as shit.. jesus what is happening here? And at the end i realized: They really did it, they made the most generic multiplayer FPS game ever.

Throw in military art style, check

Throw in cheesy TF2 style arena voice over, check

Throw in generic classes, check

Make it free to play and make sure to point out the "social aspect", check

Give the thing the most "badass" generic name you can come up with, check

Put it all in a trailer that takes your game really really serious, CHECK

As a german i feel like i should apologize... i'm really really sorry. I don't know what happened there!

To make up for that i'm gonna share one of these special german words with you, you know those that we like to make up to describe all kinds of cool things, it's called: Fremdschämen

Being embrassed about something somebody else did... yup that's how i felt watching this trailer.

The face of war has changed ... 

... we give you the same shit you've been playing forever.
 
For fucks sake they even have the 4 standard FPS classes.

My first reaction to "Crytek's free to play shooter" was FUCK YEAH.

Now I wish I hadn't watched the trailer.

Wait, Crytek are doing their own spin on Battlefield? And it has mechs? And it's a free-to-play? Colour me interested.

This looks new and refreshing.

/sarcasm

Guys I think I got some Enemy Combatant on my Warface.

I don't know what you guys are talking about this looks like an awesome game let alone a free one. I'm in! :D

its just nice to see another Cry engine 3 game for the PC only. just this time crytek ship with DX11 please.

Give me BF2142 on the Frostbite 2 engine ;_;

I count at least 5 generic quotes heard elsewhere.

crytek can lick my dick

They dazzled up the trailer to make it look less blah.

Super generic FPS AWAYYYYYYYYYYY!

How amazing is it that they have 'Engineer' and 'Medic' and 'Rifleman' and 'Sniper' classes? SO REFRESHING!

@H7O: There different versions of the text editor i think someone mentioned on a podcast that the second version was either made to make editors articles easier to format possibly by snide or vinny? Or i may just be tripping and this is nonsense .

Crazy hip thrust that Medic did on the dude he revived.

Owns Timesplitters IP. Makes Modern Warfare/Battlefield clone with silly name.

They could keep the mechs and the TF2 announcer just change the classes to Monkey, Zombie, Robot, Time Traveller and Space Alien.

@owack6: Agreed. Weirdly similar.

It's rare you'll find a free to play game and not come away thinking generic. That's not to say that the game can't be fun, but the relative amount of fun you can have when a developer picks and chooses what to put into their free game and what to make you pay for.

Looks kinda high end for F2P. Was that ingame engine? Actually looks pretty good to me, though Warface is the dumbest name ever.

I'd rather play the shipping yard management sim, Wharf Ace.

"War"face, "War"fighter. Is this the new trend in 2012?

It should have been named War Cry.

More. More of these games. Soon everyone will be tired of them and we can finally rid ourselves of this damn modern warfare rut.

I'm pretty sure I'll play this for a couple of hours!! Yay!

Yay micro transactions! That mech at the end will be $99.99 and the bullets for it will be $1 each.

Hey, you gotta little something on your face.

Man, Crytek is just so generic.

The trailer is a shit sandwich-fueled ride into mundaneville.
