Warface: Clutch News

Soldiers!

One of the nearest updates will expand the Team Deathmatch map rotation with a new map featuring a themed setting based on the special operation "Swarm". On the new location, you can feel the atmosphere of gloomy tunnels that Blackwood transformed into a research base. Watch out: dangerous opponents can be right behind your back. The "Tunnels" are not as safe as they might seem ...

[h3]Details[/h3]

Warface and Blackwood will clash again. The winner will take control of a hideout where scientists used to conduct experiments on insects. The map is based on a bunker, which players can visit in the special operation "Swarm".

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]

The location provides a highly intensive combat at close and long ranges. The Team Deathmatch kicks off inside the tunnel behind its gate. The defense team starts the battle in the dead end of a railway tunnel, while the attacking team begins the combat on the opposite side of the map, behind a truck.

Use flanks to eliminate danger posed by precise snipers. In the center of the "Tunnel", there is a massive truck that can become an excellent position for teammates' fire support. Do not forget to coordinate your actions: taking cover at this point will make you vulnerable from the side positions.

Winners and active players will be able to earn unique distinctions on this map.



You will be able to join the fight on the "Tunnel" map soon. Stay tuned!

With the next update, Warface will move to a seasonal system. "Swarm" will become the first season featuring a Special Operation under the same code name as well as a lot of other themed in-game content.

In this publication we will tell you about a Special Operation that will be totally different from everything you've seen before: new enemies, unique weapons to fight them, a gloomy thriller atmosphere and cool rewards await you. Are you ready to take up this dangerous mission?

[h3]Plot[/h3]

In one of the provincial towns bordering the Mojave Desert, a series of strange events has been occurring. People started to disappear from farms on the outskirts; the county police imposed curfew, and eyewitnesses report seeing numerous military detachments without identification marks.

An anonymous source contacted the Warface command centre and claimed that Blackwood held samples of an unknown life form from the ship of Martian colonists that had crashed in th Death Valley.

A Blackwood base was soon constructed not far from the crash site. But strange creatures kept in its depths have broken free and now pose danger to all living beings. To eliminate the threat to the civilian population, one of the best Warface units "Sigma-3" is deployed to the region.

[h3]Special Operation Features[/h3]

Special Operation "Swarm" offers players a brand new PvE experience through a unique combination of gameplay features.

• Ambience. Enjoy the atmosphere of classic horror films of the 80s! The dawn haze will be a harbinger of the nightmare that you will have to live in reality. The pitch darkness that reigns in mysterious laboratories and damp tunnels of a grim underground bunker will make you shudder from every rustle and shoot into the darkness.
  
• Enemies. Get ready to face arachnids - a race of predatory creatures. You will see their menacing silhouette around every corner! This is a fundamentally new opponent with unique combat tactics waiting for its victim in the most unexpected places.
  
• Boss. In the depths of an underground complex there lurks something that controls the arachnids. And this something is huge, so have the most powerful guns on the ready to deal with this monster!
  
• Equipment. A flamethrower is the best way to fight arachnids protected by solid chitinous carapace! Infinite ammo will allow you to burn down whole hordes of bloodthirsty creatures.
  
• Unmanned armored vehicle. The unmanned combat vehicle "Samantha" will help you survive a descent into the very monsters' lair. You can increase its performance and even equip it with turrets that will enhance your squad's firepower.
  
• New reward system. By completing the whole Special Operation within a certain period of time, you will get a box with the most generous rewards!

ACT 1
The operation begins at the approaches to the military base. To get inside, you will have to find three laptops with access codes. To activate the laptops, you will need resources. Resource crates are scattered throughout the map.

ACT 2
Once inside the complex, you will need to restore power to the central room access terminal. Here you will find an unexpected ally who will help you survive the descent to the lower levels.

ACT 3
To find out what controls the arachnids, you will have to fight your way to the heart of the base through dark damp tunnels, killing hordes of disgusting enemies. Take care of your new ally and it will pay you back in the final battle.

ACT 4
Get ready to face the biggest enemy you've ever seen!

ARACHNIDS

Arachnids are fast and dangerous enemies that prefer to hunt in the dark. They usually hide in the ground, ventilation systems, or hives, waiting for their prey. There are several main types of beetles.



COMPLETION REWARDS

"Swarm" continues the tradition of a cyclic reward system with milestones, meaning that a certain period of time is allotted for mission completion and you will try to finish the special operation achieving the best result. The quality of the Random Box with rewards depends on the number of acts passed. You will get the best box when you complete the special operation within a certain period of time.



The result is saved during the cycle, so you can continue attempts without risking anything. When the timer expires, you will receive a reward box.

Each box contains cards for crafting "Parasite" weapons coated with chitin and poisonous saliva of bloodthirsty arachnids. The series includes HArms CQR, Fostech Origin-12, Bushmaster BA50, Thompson M1928, XM556 Microgun, as well as the brand new SAI GRY LMG machine gun that will soon appear in the game.

After the next update, "Free for All" will be replenished with two popular maps of the "Plant the Bomb" mode: "Yard 2.0" and "District 2.0". The maps' looks will remain the same, but the old tactics will now be hardly applicable - an enemy will be waiting for you literally around every corner. How long will you last alone?

[h3]Details[/h3]

Yard 2.0

If you have not yet played on "Yard 2.0", we would like to remind that visually, the map is set in the style of a small Middle Eastern village on the river bank.



District 2.0

"District 2.0" is a quarter of a South American city where dilapidated slums are enclosed in a ring of wide highways and majestic skyscrapers.



[h3]Achievements[/h3]

Now Yard 2.0 and District 2.0 will offer new achievements that can be earned only in Free for All.



Hurry up to get new impressions on the so familiar maps!

Good luck in combat!

Dear players!

We keep monitoring your feedback on the various game related issues. Our main goal is to make Warface enjoyable for everyone, that’s why we are here today to let you know what problems we are currently focused on and what their status is.
We will publish several articles to cover various issues and later on will keep you updated on the status of all of them on a regular basis.

[h3]Servers[/h3]

The majority of the player base has experienced issues related to the regional matchmaking at least once. It’s a very complex topic to discuss, so we’ll split it into categories.

[h3]Ping-related issues[/h3]

Why do I have high ping?

Issue: The most probable (and obvious) reason why a player has high ping is that the servers are located far away from the player’s location. Another common reason for it is low Internet speed or bad routing to the server which fully depends on the service provider. The only solution we can offer to improve your ping is to create more regional servers. Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, it’s not that straightforward: for the room to be created on that server there should be enough players from that region. We regularly monitor the situation with the allocation of our playerbase and as soon as we see that there is a real need to add a server, we do so. One of the last examples is a server in South America, which is going to go live as soon as the migration of Brazilian players starts.

Status: ongoing

I have 5 bars. Why are there so many players with high ping in the room?

Issue: There are two reasons why players from very distant locations play in the same room. The first one - there are no closer servers. Following the status of the previous issue, we will be able to provide them with a separate server only if the situation allows us to do so.

Status: ongoing

Issue: There is a closer server but the matchmaking is too long or the server selection doesn't matter for the player. Taking into account the future migration of the Brazilian players and EU + NA servers merge, we are now focused on improving regional matchmaking. Our goal is to make it impossible to join a distant region manually thus reevaluating the current server coverage area.

Status: ongoing

[h3]Game economy[/h3]

Issue: Most of the new weapons are sold for Kredits. We aim to provide you with the alternative ways of obtaining desired items such as Crown and Warface Dollar boxes, events (e.g. TOP GUN), weapon crafting and Social Media contests. We will keep doing so on a regular basis.

Status: ongoing

Issue: Old weapons are less powerful than the new ones. The development team rebalances older weapons on a regular basis.

Status: ongoing

[h3]Cheaters[/h3]

The fight against cheats at the software level is our top priority. It allows us to identify and block offenders, yet also complicates the further development of cheats, reducing their total number on the market. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to mitigate the issue completely - the cheat makers keep updating their software, which repeats the cycle.

In the last quarter of this year 1532 accounts were banned for cheating and most of them got automatically detected by MRAC (our anti-cheat programme). We aim to improve the ways of detecting the offenders and reducing the time such accounts exist for in our game.

Status: ongoing
