Why Warface is called Warface
By

Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli admits name for PC shooter is "strange," but says it was chosen to mirror the game's "personal" tone.
Some may think Crytek's free-to-play PC shooter Warface has a silly or far-fetched name, but according to company CEO Cevat Yerli, the title could not be more appropriate.
"Because I think [Warface is] very personal. I think it’s a very social experience," Yerli told Rock, Paper, Shotgun. "Yes, it’s a very strange word combination, but I wanted to express that it’s a truly social FPS game. It’s about war on a different scale--between corporate entities--but also, it’s a shooter between you and your friends. That implies so many new kinds of possibilities with the social technology that we’ve invested over the last five years to build. So that’s why we as a company keep going back to 'face.' It’s very personal."
Warface is Crytek's first free-to-play game. The game is in development at the company's Kiev outfit and runs on CryEngine 3. Warface is a military shooter set in the near future, and Crytek claims it offers a cinematic experience with next-gen visuals, artificial intelligence, and physics. It is currently in beta.

Always made me think of Full Metal Jacket if im honest.........."Let me see your warface!!!!!"
1 Like warface, warfighter I don't care what the name is as long as I get to shoot things.
why haven't any games let you stretch your Facebook picture over your character's face. like Max Payne 1 faces. would be totally creepy and equally awesome.
Are video games still consistent with their titles these day?
At least I don't see it in Call of Duty cuz I don't see any duty but greedy.
8 Like Dont know what's the big deal -- Warface sounds fine to me.
You want really bad/hilarious names? Try Japanese titles --
1. REVENGEANCE -- wtf?? Revenge + Vengenace => new made up word and stupid sounding but hey who cares
2. Final Fantasy -- uhhmm let's see there's fantasy, and it's sorta final. Yuhh, and what is it now FF 17??
3. Devil May Cry --- You sure? you really really sure the Devil just might cry a tad? Really? LOL!!!
4. Could go on and on guys ..
I agree that 'Devil May Cry' sounds cool.. coz Dante can whoop their asses so hard style that they may turn into wussy demons and actually cry haha~!!
@keyb0red I agree with the first two but Devil May Cry is supposed to mean that the protagonist is so awesome that he can make the devil cry like a baby...
I thought the title "Warface" was just another chessey ass marketing idea aimed at fascist, trailer trash, CoD deuches.
I love games. I just don't like military FPSes.
They Hollywoodize military life and military life sucks. And most of what militaries are used for has nothing to do with defending a country. I'd know: I was in the US army. It eats ass.
Having your life controlled in a culture of "sameness" sucks. Don't think so? Try it yourself.
Uh no thanks.. there's those Sergeants that shout at you all the time right? And then you have to reply "Sorry Yes Sir"..?? lol I dunno I learned this from movies and TV haha..
4 Like So why are we still paying 60 bucks for next Call of Duty and Battlefield when Crytek is making a F2P FPS on the OMFG CRY ENGINE (which they were just wanking about in a previous Gamestop article on Crysis 3's graphics)? Besides, the name is irrelevant, it's generic shooter #352 but with shinier graphics.
im sick of having the ENGINEER HAS THE SUBMACHINE GUN,THE RIFLEMAN WITH THE NOOBTUBE,THE MEDIC WITH THE DIFFIBULATOR, someone change it up please!
5 Like I thought it was about the forbidden demon love child of Toki Wartooth and William Murderface.
that trailer looks like a solid shooter. but if i didnt know before hand, i would have said thats battlefield 4.
1 Like Explaining the ideas behind a terrible name doesn't make it any less terrible. I still laugh a bit inside whenever I see it. Wonder why they didn't stick with their "cry"names and call if War Cry. Thats a cleashe but still better than freaking war face
@with_teeth26 Maybe when English isn't your first language it makes more sense. It's a dumb name and it's only going to hurt their sales. It is slightly better than the worst game name of all time: Wargasm.
4 Like with the way they use cry in their game names. why in the hell didn't they just call this game "warcry"?
Kinda like a gamer face ? , nice to see it doing well in Russia now let the rest of us throw money at you (in mirco transaction form of course).
Eh, Not a fan of Crytek's names. They are all kind of lame, Crysis, Far Cry, Warface...but the games are great. Whatever.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.
1 Like Oh god not this guy again.
Why not just call it duckface? I'm sure you'll reach a broader audience.
