Crysis wars was actually pretty fun i thought. Or from what I remember it was anyways, so im eager to see how this plays out.

Im just a bit unsure due to the free to play element, as having just finished Ghost Recon beta, all I can say about that was how much of a drab, bland, nothing new, game it was.

i just hope this is actually fun to play and has some interesting co-op missions. Tho if they deliver on the promised pve/pvp modes this could be a winner.

Warface: Yeah, it's Actually Called Warface

We don't know either, but hey it's cool

What happens when you take Crysis 2, dip it in a boiling vat of Team Fortress 2, then wrap the whole thing in Modern Warfare 3? You get some potentially delicious new free to play shooter called Warface.

Warface's title is either a tongue in cheek jab at other war shooters, or the rough translation for a Ukrainian word I've completely made up that means "the look in your killer's eyes before he ends your life in the heat of battle."

The co-op mode sets Warface apart from other shooters. Every day Crytek loads new missions to complete using the game's random mission generation. All of the co-op missions feature moments where you have to use teamwork. If there's a huge armored enemy blocking a bridge, chances are there's a way for you to boost your partner over a ledge somewhere and sneak around behind him while the rest of the squad distracts the enemy. The co-op moves instantly created that situation where you're yelling into the headset, "Get over here! No, the other side of the bridge! Just jump!" But when you pull it off it's pretty satisfying.

The daily missions have dedicated leaderboards where you can earn credits for unlocking new weapons and gear. The weapons can be customized with things like scopes, bayonets, silencers, and other useful items. If you suck at one day's mission, no worries, the leaderboards reset. So new players are never too far behind to earn credits.

There is, of course, a pvp mode to Warface, set in some "near future" urban areas. And it has multiple modes, though deathmatch is the only one seen so far. You earn points for everything, and the game scores you based on things like kills, headshots, and accuracy. The better you play, the more points you earn. You do not, however, earn points for using that cool slide move that Crysis 2 had. But you can slide under nearly every truck in any level (and it will annoy your teammates, so that's funny too).

For those of you worried that a game using CryEngine 3 is beyond your system's capabilities, good news. Crytek developed Warface to use as low system reqs as possible. Anyone with at least a 2 Ghz processor and 1 GB of RAM should be able to war all the faces they can handle.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
