Take a look at the launch trailer for Warface, now available to play for free. As this cinematic Warface trailer makes clear, online multiplayer shooters are a lot like Chess. You remember Chess, the game about the panicked movement of pieces around a board that’s being assaulted by grenade spam and AK47 fire.

Every time you take a piece, it respawns after a few seconds, leading to advanced tactics like surrounding the resurrection spots until the arbitrary round timer has elapsed. No wonder it became the game of choice for some of history’s greatest minds. Esteemed tacticians like Custer, Napoleon and, er, Michael Bay. Probably. In non-Chess related news, Warface is now out in Europe and North America.

The free-to-play FPS caused controversy the other week thanks to its questionable introduction of disproportionately skimpy women. At the time, Crytek’s Joshua Howard said the gender imbalance reflected “how we see how culturally the different regions approach the same game in different ways.”

“The skins we’re showing right now are the skins that basically came out of our Russian region,” he continued. “They’re not what our players at first requested in the Russian region. They tended to be considerably more extreme that what we ended up shipping with.”

Warface delivers fast-paced explosive action, team-driven Co-op and Versus gameplay, and immersive visuals, it offers new content on a regular basis in the form of daily cooperative campaign missions with new challenges and a continual supply of new maps, weaponry, boosts, and more to keep gameplay fresh and exciting. To provide players everywhere with the best possible gameplay experience, Warface is localized into English, French, German and Turkish.
