Crytek's Gold-exclusive free-to-play shooter hits the Marketplace ! What are you up to this evening? Entertaining relatives? Burying contraband? Re-arranging your stamp collection? Wrong. You're going to play Warface, Crytek's preposterous free-to-play shooter for PC and Xbox 360. The console version's public beta is upon us - sign up here. The beta version of the game is available in the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, the Nordics, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. It features "intense co-op missions", "explosive versus modes", four maps and four character classes - rifleman, engineer, sniper and medic, all of which do exactly what it says on the tin. Matches seems to be paced like those of Call of Duty, but the class options recall Battlefield, and you can slide around the place like the Nano troopers from Crysis. Here's a trailer. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIt9RuL2wTk When the game launches in spring, players will then receive regularly updated content, enabling fans to experience new, daily co-operative campaign missions and a continuous supply of new maps, weaponry, boosts and more," notes an Xbox NewsWire post. The game's contemporary military premise is hardly exotic, I'll grant, and Crytek's track record for first person shooters isn't spotless - Crysis 3 was a bit of a disappointment. Still, it's another free game for Gold subscribers. Source Total Xbox
