It’s Team Deathmatch, on a generic-looking ship that is oddly graphically worse than all the other maps by a significant margin. “Team Deathmatch on Transport Ship” is exactly what it sounds like. Even the map here leaves something to be desired.
So this mode is more a challenge of who gets 5 rounds as the soldiers first. Of course, Crossfire’s melee combat is inaccurate and brutally hard to pull off, and one shot in the vicinity of the head leads to an instant kill. You have 2 minutes per round, first to 5 wins. The other half are fully equipped soldiers. One side is invisible except when moving (think Elites in Halo) and has to plant a bomb and pick off the enemy using knives. The second, “Spectre on Laboratory”, features two teams of 8 facing in a battle. The first, “Search and Destroy on Black Widow” is the exact same as the modern mode, except for the aforementioned changes. While not a dealbreaker normally (Quake and Halo’s classic Multiplayer is as fun as ever), this playlist only accentuates the problems with CrossfireX’s gameplay. The classic playlist differs from the modern one in two key ways: you can no longer aim down the sights, and dashing is turned off. What I didn’t tell you is that the modern playlist is the closest CrossfireX gets to enjoyable.

Also of note, each mode maintains Counterstrike’s signature low TTK, so thank your lucky stars crossplay is not active for this title (a westernized PC release of “X” doesn’t even exist.
Couple this with sound effects that carry all the oomph of a pie to the face, a nonsense unbalanced progression system on search and destroy that allows certain unit types to dominate and severe UI issues and it just is not fun. These are just a few of the issues my friend and I encountered playing. Inability to slide when the ability purchased, being kicked out of aiming down the sights, enemy and allied units looking like they came straight out of “Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse” by running at 15fps (consistently on quality mode, still a significant percentage of the time on performance mode). Made worse is the sheer amount of bugs and glitches. From the unacceptable level of input lag making playing the game a challenge to the frankly awful aiming and gunplay, this experience is not fun. Although using these two games in the same sentence is unfair, as this is the Dollar Tree brand version of those superior titles.īoth modes, to their credit, feature well-designed maps, and graphically are sound, utilizing Quixel Megascans. The first of these modes is similar to a match of Counterstrike or Valorant, the latter closer in line with a Battlefield map. The other two modes are “Search and Destroy on Black Widow” and “Point Capture on GR Tower”. Any web designer can tell you why this is a massive no-no, but that’s no matter. A third one, “Escort on Babylon”, can be found greyed out with a big “Coming Soon” posted on top of it. Once you do navigate this first hurdle, you’ll find options for Classic and Modern multiplayer, as well as for the “Operation: Catalyst” and “Operation: Spectre” campaigns (more on those in our campaign review).īeginning with the Modern playlist, you’ll be greeted with 3 game modes. Between dropped frames, a distracting rain effect and a cursor the size of the tip of a needle tip (Don’t worry 120inch OLED users, yours will be the size of a canned pea!), the simple act of choosing a mode is in and of itself a nightmare.
After scrolling through a EULA the size of War and Peace, you are greeted to the menu selection screen, a glitchy, difficult-to-navigate mess. CrossfireX is the rare game where its issues are glowingly apparent from the main menu.
The long answer is absolutely f**king not. However, after years of silence and delays, can it possibly, live up to the hype? Let’s find out, in Xbo圎ra’s official review for CrossfireX’s multiplayer. CrossfireX, a console conversion of sorts, by Smilegate Entertainment, hopes to fix this. Yet, in the west, the game’s popularity is significantly lower. It has inspired a television series, a forthcoming movie, even a mobile RTS game. For those following, 1 in 3 gamers and approximately 1 in 8 people around the world have played the game. Crossfire, a tactical FPS from Korea, is the second-largest game in the world in terms of player count with an astonishing 1 billion players.
