For those of you who have distaste for quick respawn, the ones who prefer to kill an enemy and have him dead for the entire round, that�s there too. You can still die very quickly, no matter what game mode you choose. Overall, this game has the same basic game modes as any other shooting game out there, but a regular free-for-all is noticeably, missing. The lack of a regular death match won�t hurt most players, fortunately, since teamwork is the basis of most shooting games.

For the FPS veterans who wonder if there is such a thing as weapon balance in the game, and whether your skill is determined by how much money you drop into the cash shop, in my opinion, the game feels balanced. Of course, some guns do more damage than others, especially the AWM sniper rifle, which is a one hit, one kill scenario, but the game is based much more on skill than anything else. It is entirely possible to beat someone that has the best weapon in the game, only using the weapon you start out with.

Since this game is a room-based MMOFPS, you should expect some character customization; unfortunately, the customization is very shallow. At the beginning of the game you choose a basic character model; U.S Special Weapons And Tactics (S.W.A.T) member, British Special Air Service (S.A.S) member, or a Russian Отряд милиции особого назначения, pronounced Otryad Militsii Osobogo Naznacheniya, which means Special Purpose Police Squad in case you were wondering,  (O.M.O.H or O.M.O.N). After choosing a model, you can spend some in-game money for a backpack, helmet, or side-pouch for your character. At least you’re not just a single type of Special Forces member, which adds some variety to the game.

 Our Rating for Cross Fire Review (MMOFPS - PC)
9.5
Replay
Getting kills for in-game money, and spending it on new weapons is enough motivation for some, for others just "pwning" other players is enough.
5.0
Graphics
Graphics that are barely better than Half-Life, in this day and age, are unforgivable for most gamers and will cause some to skip this title
7.0
Sound
Standard sounds and music for an MMOFPS; it has music meant to hype you up that can get boring and annoying after a bit, and it has standard gunshots.
9.9
Gameplay
The quick, action-packed, gameplay is where this title truly excels over most other FPSes, it�s also what makes this game worth playing (especially without the eye-candy).
9.0
Multiplayer/Online Content
Lacking regular death match. But it�s skill-based, so bring your "A" Game.
8.2
Overall
This game is definitely worth a shot, whether you got a bad PC or good one, the only thing keeping this from getting a 9 or 10 are the graphics.

PEOPLE this game is the shiz, the game strategy is awesome. radio talk is good and decent. maps and guns are awesome for some HARD HITTING GAMEPLAY. This game to me beats warrock, combat arms, soldierfront all together!. This game has the creativity of a number 1 imaginator. Ghost match is the awesomemest thing they ever thought of for it. guns and equipment you can get are good. You might wish for them to have a higher amount of guns to choose from but HEY its a closed beta still. So download it and i garuntee that its a awesome game the first time you play it. And if you die the first map and you get all mad then get a life and you suck if you die alot and get mad.
