CrossFire
CrossFire is an online first-person-shooter, which features two International Mercenary Forces locked together in an epic global conflict. Players assume the role of either a Black List terrorist or Global Risk anti-terrorist, joining an online team that must work together to complete objective-based scenarios. There are ten online modes: Team Death Match, Escape Mode, Elimination Mode, Search and Destroy, Ghost Mode, Free-For-All, Mutation Mode, Hero Mode, Hero Mode X and Zombie Mode. Based on their performance in-game, players will receive experience points and be promoted through various military ranks, based on the United States Army's ranking system. Players will also have the ability to customize their character's equipment and appearance through CrossFire's in-game item shop. CrossFire is free to download and playable online.
CrossFire was developed by the South Korean game developer SmileGate in 2007, using Lithtech's Jupiter EX engine. CrossFire is licensed to the multimedia publisher, Neowiz, and is distributed further to regional publishers.
