Having finally gotten into the closed beta of Warface after being on the wait list for about a year, I found the game to be a solid experience. Crytek knows first-person shooters like Warface aren’t a far step from what the the company is known for.
Using CryEngine 3, the game scales well on different hardware, but the experience is made for high-end machines that can produce quality visuals. Crytek’s display at GDC 2013 showed off more of the co-op mode in Warface. Co-op sets you up in teams, requiring you to complete objectives as you move through a level. Players need to work together to succeed, as lone wolf players will quickly get overrun from enemy AI.
When I talked with Senior Producer, Wim Coveliers, about Warface and GFACE, he quickly assured me that Crytek considers Warface a top priority for the company. Crytek is actively working on improving during the closed beta as they test and balance the game. I was given a chance to talk with Coveliers about the game, the update cycle, performance optimizations, and a possible release date.
Wim was very open about discussing the game and how Crytek is working on improving the game to prepare Warface for an official launch.
