NEW SEASON

The first season starts today and will end on October the 30th, 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET). Please note that the ranked matches are back to monthly cycles instead of 3-week ones.

Ranked matches will be conducted on all “Plant the Bomb” and “Blitz” maps, including the newest map to be introduced, the “Platform”.

This season offers:

Mind-blowing weapon skin series: “Amethyst”, “Jade Dragon” and “Desert” for reaching the higher leagues
Warface Dollars, Crowns and Boosters for advancing to each next league
Achievements for advancing to the required leagues, including the “You can not beat me!” achievement for the first league

You can always track your progress in your account overview on the site.

EQUIPMENT RESTRICTIONS

Weapon and equipment restrictions will be enabled. Whitelisted items carry a special marker in your inventory: . If you equip restricted items, you won’t be able to join a ranked match.

RESTRICTIONS AGAINST SEMI-AUTOMATIC SNIPER RIFLES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT BASED ON YOUR REVIEWS DURING THE TEST SEASONS.

BLACKLISTED ITEMS

Any automatic and semi-automatic sniper rifles (excluding Dragunov SR)
Items that restore health/armor too quickly (exceeding 2pts/sec)
Any items preventing damage from the first shot (“Anti-Sniper”, “Plate”, “Scout”, “Titan-II” vests and class helmets)
Anti-personnel and seasonal mines
Any flag grenades, excluding the standard grenade
Any old elite weapons and armor

PROGRESSION AND REWARDS

In order to advance between leagues, you need to win consecutive matches. As you climb higher, you will have to display better prowess, flexibility and persistence. At the same time, you won’t drop down instantaneously if you happen to lose — you will have a change to recover by winning a series of matches. If you fail to use this opportunity and continue to lose, you’ll roll back to the previous league.

Important! It will be incredibly tough to drop out after reaching the first league — you will have to lose 9 matches out of 10. This has been implemented as a preventive measure to let the top contenders master their skills to perfection while enjoying the competitive scene, without worrying over losing their rank.
