The maps vary somewhat, thankfully, and which map you choose also involves a change in strategy, but you’ll usually just try and do a Rambo in team death match, which works if you’ve got the skill. There are small maps with lots of cover; big maps covered in darkness with sudden turns, leaving you ready to shoot at a moment’s notice. There are also medium sized maps with lots of different rooms and twists and turns that will leave you expecting to be caught off-guard at any moment. Even with the different play-styles each map has, the number of maps available is small. Of course, this game is still in beta and will (hopefully) see an increase in the maps available.

Compared to other FPSs, in terms of looks and hype, this game falls awfully short. In fact, most of this game’s negative hype is due to it’s lack luster graphics, which are at about the level of a PS2 launch title, but the lack of graphics makes this game accessible to just about anyone with a PC who is willing to give this game the chance it fully deserves. In terms of gameplay, the only game I can think of that gives you this level of excitement kill after kill, is Call of Duty 4 and CoD World at War. This game can reach the level of those two games just by having a simple graphical overhaul to quiet the naysayers.

In short, this game is definitely worth the download and install, no matter what type of computer you have. This game is vastly overlooked just because its graphics are not taxing the fastest of gaming PCs, and its gameplay is entirely ignored. If you have the time to spare, download it and give it a try, what have you got to lose besides some hard drive space that can be easily recovered?

 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.

It’s always nice to see the developers take an interest in reviews of their products

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.
