Constant updates ensure that players can always look forward to a fresh challenge as they join friends on the frontline," the game was described in the company's press release.

Dirk Metzger, Crytek's General Manager of Publising, elaborated on the company's goal and vision for Warface:

"Our goal with Warface has always been to show that free-to-play games can be top quality, blockbuster experiences that match the industry's highest standards. By bringing the game to players in North America, Europe and Turkey today, a vast new audience can now see for themselves the lengths we've gone to in order to achieve that vision and make Warface stand out from the crowd."

The game is noted to be localized into English, French, German, and Turkish on launch with more languages to follow in the future. 

In addition, GFACE attemps to provide an "intuitive" environment where players can socialize with other Warface gamers.

Warface was launched today October 17th for Microsoft Windows platforms. Earlier reports this year suggest that a console version could happen, but no word yet when that might be.
