Warface is a free-to-play online first-person shooter developed by Crytek Kiev and co-produced by Crytek Seoul, with Crytek UK developing the Xbox 360 port.^[2] The game was developed with Crytek's CryEngine V. The Xbox 360 port was discontinued in February 2015, and then relaunched for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018.

Gameplay

Players choose among four different classes to play, Sniper, Rifleman, Engineer, or Medic. Each class has its own role in the game: Medics revive fallen teammates, Engineers restore and repair armor, Riflemen provide extra ammo, whilst Snipers are long-range experts.

Each class comes with its distinctive weapons and equipment, often split into two categories. Riflemen choose between a variety of assault rifles and light machine guns and have the ability to distribute ammo to themselves and others. Snipers have bolt-action and semi-automatic marksman and sniper rifles. Medics have automatic and pump action shotguns and have the ability to heal and revive teammates. Engineers use sub-machine guns and personal defense weapons and can replenish armor, place explosive mines, and can interact with explosives faster. In other words, each class has two main branches and all weapons compete against one another within and with the opposite branch. Apart from that, each class can carry a secondary firearm and a melee weapon. A soldier's tool belt is supplied with a hand grenade, and can be modified or expanded with extra smoke/flashbang grenades. The Engineer can also carry anti-personnel mines.

Weapons have customization slots that can be used to outfit a firearm with scopes, bipods or handles, flashguards or suppressors.

Players compete against one another in PvP matches or combine efforts against AI enemies in PvE. As players complete these matches and missions, they earn experience points, Warface Dollars, and vendor points; the amount earned varies depending on the number of players, mission played (its duration, amount of checkpoints and so on, to prevent or reduce potential boosting among players).

Warface Dollars can be used to rent weapons, purchase armor and other items, Experience Points let each player increase their personal Rank (level) in the game, while the Vendor Points are used to progress through the Arsenal tree (in-game progression items split into three categories: Weapons, Attachments, Equipment).

VIP Booster packs are available for sale in the in-game store, allowing the player to earn additional XP, WF$ and VP after a match.

Another in-game currency is Kredits (a use of an old trope of using a "K" in place of a "C"), a premium currency that allows the purchase of the VIP Booster packs, player body skins, bundles and more.

The game can be played via Steam, which enables the player to also purchase various DLC bundles consisting of exclusive skins and gear.
