Counter-STRIKE has been holding a leading position for ten years for ten years. And this fact does not allow many developers who dream to achieve the same deafening success. The simplest scheme, based on the confrontation of two teams, turned out to be so brilliant that it was not possible to come up with a radically better one. That’s why it remains only to imitate.
Cross Fire – one of such enthusiastic projects, literally exuding the spirit of CS. The warring parties in the game are represented by two mercenaries organizations – Global Risk and Black List. The first team was recruited from retired soldiers of special forces from all over the planet and is a positive faction acting in the interests of the world community. Their opponents from the “black list”, on the contrary, are terrorist evil. A large percentage of Black List fighters – immigrants from the countries of the Middle East.
Bloody battles are carried out using the best samples of modern world weapons. The arsenal is expected to be a sign-three types of grenades (chimney, light and standard offensive), army bayonet-knife, several pistols (there were no desert eagle) and a dozen trunks from the Primary Weapons category-shotgun, machine guns and rifles (confrontation of AK-47 and AK-47 and AK-47 confrontation andM4A1 continues).
At the origins of the legend there were two people: Minh “Gooseman” le And Jess Cliffe. Solution Valve About the release of free access to the SDK package to create mods for the original Half-Life was fateful. It was with his help in early 1999 Minh le begins to develop its Online project. Cliffe Helps him in every way and is engaged in the promotion of their brainchild. The first beta version of the fashion was released on June 19 of the same year. In the spring of 2000 Valve buys the game and hires its creators to his staff. Six months later, on November 8th), the Light saw the full version of Counter-Strike for number 1.0.
In Russia, the popularity of CS was spontaneous in nature. Even people who never sat behind the monitor, sooner or later, found themselves in a computer club, listened to a short briefing of their more experienced comrades and disappeared in the eternal confrontation of “Terra” and “Contra”. Among the youth, playing Counter-Strike was fashionable how to walk with long hair at the time of Beatles. It was a real cultural phenomenon.
IN Cross Fire Four game modes have been introduced. Team Death Match and Elimination (among themselves are distinguished by insignificant nuances) – classic fun, in which everything is reduced to the extermination of the enemy. Next follows the Search & Destroy-a direct reference to cards from Counter-Strike with the prefix “De_”, where the main task is to destroy/save any important object. Well, it closes the list-Ghost Mode, creating which the developers still decided to Soriginal. In this mode, the Black List team becomes invisible, but only knives can use. Their task is to blow up a certain target guarded by Global Risk forces. It is necessary to detect terrorists, focusing on the sound of their steps.
The game also provides a system of titles. Getting experience, you will advance the service staircase. Moreover, this is not only a decorative, but also a gameplay feature – certain restrictions are imposed on low titles. For example, they will be given to shoot from the Dragunov rifle only after receiving a sergeant rank.
Cross Fire – Free multiplayer project. The developers plan to earn money with a virtual store in which everyone will be able to buy additional experience, equipment or some new fashionable undergraduate. The assortment is promised to regularly update and expand.
Technically, the game, to put it mildly, is not impressive that, however, it has never been a decisive factor for a online shooter. But why does the level of the local picture do not reach Counter-Strike: Source, released five years ago, is a mystery.
Cross Fire for more than a month has been at the beta testing stage. Anyone can download the client from the official site and try himself as a mercenary. Overtake “Counter»The newly made project clearly does not succeed-too thoroughly the whole world was hooked on the famous Half-Life mod. So that the magical combination of the letters “Ka-ES” replaces some alien “ka-ef”? Do not laugh my “four or four”.
