    did that trailer scream “Don’t buy me!” to anyone else?

  11. 05/06/2012 at 20:12 EPICTHEFAIL says:

    And to end the tide of lame jokes, that trailer was fucking awful. If it is any indication of the game, then we may well have found something legitimately worse than the endings of ME3 and Battlestar Galactica combined. Also free to play MW. I am so excited. We might actually get a worthy successor to Battlefield Pay2Win (spellchecker just suggested “nonpaying” as an alternative spelling. LOLNO).

    • 05/06/2012 at 20:14 Dominic White says:

      It’s not really like Battlefield. Competitive play is like a more class-based Call of Duty, and co-op is like a more team-based Crysis 2. Less super-suit powers, but you’re still up against mechs and guys in power-armor. The Russian version is bloody hard, too! The entire team needs to be on the ball. I’ve seen full-team wipes less than a minute into a mission before.

  12. 05/06/2012 at 20:12 Dominic White says:

    WARFACE WARFACE. WAR WARFACE WAR FACE .

    Also, played the Russian version of this (it’s not region-locked) and it’s pretty great!

  26. 05/06/2012 at 20:24 Poddington says:

    Because games like Counter-Strike that blend a social side with modern shooters has been so complicated for over 12 years that no one plays them.

    Oh wait!

    I mean..warface…

    Warface. I clicked on the story expecting to see an Warface actual story, but hoping deep Warface down that I’d just see more Warface.
    I was not War disappointed Face

    ..Are these things that anybody actually says?

  45. 05/06/2012 at 21:03 Beelzebud says:

    BROFACE

    While watching that trailer, I shouted WARFACE, until a bloody red mist covered my monitor.

    The graphics look really nice. It just needed more people pleading for their lives before being shot point blank in the WARFACE.

  46. 05/06/2012 at 21:09 Matzerath says:

    Sadly it was originally called ‘Face’ until marketing stepped in.

    • 05/06/2012 at 22:31 Dominic White says:

      This game also has 20 foot tall killer robots. If your fragile sense of immersion is shattered by a bulletproof shield, the mechs are likely going to destroy your very worldview.

    Talk to the Warface.
    I think I just saw a warface running down the street with a little warface in its mouth.
    EEEWW… a warface..!
    Simply put: whorefece.
    And now, la piece de resistence..: WARFACE!
    I am telling you, those germans have weeeak (i.e. warface) imagination, and the name of this shooter is generic for their games’s plot lines..

    Made me think of Duty Calls. :D

    Unless it is “yes”…
    No! Of course it is.
    IS WAR!
    Yes!
    No!
    Yes?”

    The word face looks REALLY weird now. I am making a WARFACE

    I literally have no idea what is real and what is parody anymore.

    Anyone care to help this old timer sort things out? WTF is this? Whose quotes and footage?

  71. 05/06/2012 at 22:51 Jay says:

    As it’s Crytek, you have to wonder… was WarCry taken already or something?

    • 06/06/2012 at 06:03 Mattressi says:

      It’s called WarFace because it’s made on Crytek’s CryFace engine. They always include the name of their engine in the name of their games. Like Far Face and Facis.

  76. 05/06/2012 at 23:24 unimural says:

    I bet you dollars to doughnuts that after a month or so this whole War on Face will become an increasingly costly an affair for the decision makers. There will be people asking embarssing questions, like the justification for it all. But once it’s launched, we all just have to live with the War on Face and either pretend it wasn’t a bad idea to start with or just ignore it and hope it will eventually go away.

    Wait, this is a trailer for a real game? Not a parody video?

  82. 06/06/2012 at 00:42 Jim9137 says:

    I shall now fully expect to read about an interview that shall go thusly:

    RPS: Warface?

    Warface: WARFACE

  84. 06/06/2012 at 00:45 Caiman says:

    These devs should just all band together, make the ultimate modern manshooter, and then just keep selling it under a variety of fun and innovative names. They’re all the same game anyway and nobody really seems to notice, so I can only conclude we’re in it for the names. Can’t beat CODBLOPS as a manshoot name anyway, nice try Crytek.

  85. 06/06/2012 at 01:31 Ateius says:

    Every time RPS runs a thing on Warface it takes me a few sentences in (or a few seconds of video, as the case may be) to remember that someone actually titled their game Warface, and it’s not a word RPS made up to make fun of the endless chain of modern shoot-em-ups.

  86. 06/06/2012 at 01:44 Deccan says:

    Warface is actually that big robot from the first trailer, formed by the union of Warmouth, Warballs, Warears, Warteeth and Warnostrils.

    “What’s wrong with Worf, ace?”
    “Oh, that’s just his warface, it looks like a fanny!”

    This game’s very existence wants me to fling pudding at my own face at a high rate of speed.

  92. 06/06/2012 at 04:17 Acorino says:

    I find it telling that all they had to say about the claim that “Social and Shooter don’t mix” was “Really?”. They couldn’t even make up some bullshit that convinces themselves!

    Man. I’m in the early planning stages for a game I was gonna call BulletFace… I am disappointed by this outcome. Though, I like the ballistic shields, that’s pretty neat.

    Look ‘ere guys. This is how you journalism.

  99. 06/06/2012 at 08:44 Tridae says:

    sigh. Damn this anti-article – sending the comments into a frenzy of who can shout WARFACE the most creatively. We get it – it’s a stupid name, but heck the game looks awesome. I’ve seen some Let’s Plays on youtube of the Russian version and it looks like a solid multiplayer shooter. It’s free-to-play too so we can’t really complain. I’d rather play this quality looking shooter with a sense of humour than pay for COD or any of the other clones.

    Also – I love the Crysis and Crysis 2 multiplayer, not only because of the suit but the feel of the Cryengine is what made it great. I’m definitely excited for this.

  100. 06/06/2012 at 09:05 Kresh says:

    That pumpkin totally deserved it. He had no WARFACE.

    It looks like it might be fun.

    Tadaa!
