Hey, any of you guys who like a good shooter, love free, and have some space on your hard drive...I've been playing Warface since the beta test started, and it's a killer game...especially considering the price tag. Nada. Not one red cent. And the 'free to play' nonsense is tamped down so much that you won't even notice it. You can progress in the game, unlocking everything you get through microtransactions, just by grinding it out. It's more the size of CoD than Battlefield, to be sure, but there's a lot to like here. Snipers, for one thing, are actually an effective class despite the smaller maps, as each map has places for snipers to perch themselves. Each class (rifleman, medic, sniper, engineer...you know the drill) brings something necessary to the table. Teamwork isn't necessary, but IS beneficial, as some perches can only be accessed via two-man boost-ups. You can also give ammo, medics can heal and revive, all that. The MP is fast, but not too fast, but doesn't really come across as 'twitchy'.
There is Versus, and then there is Co-op. Tried co-op for the first time today, and it's a blast. The missions are fairly straightforward, and entail mostly 'point at the bad guys and shoot' stuff, but they ramp up in difficulty. We went up against a hulking mech at the end of one mission and died fairly quickly. It was there that I really saw the necessity of teamwork. There was only one real vulnerable spot, and we needed to be constantly getting the mech's attention so that another guy could put a rocket in the spot on his back.
Honestly, though...IT'S FREE, so considerations should only be limited to HDD space, and, even then, it's worth making some space. Good stuff.
