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.

      yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
