'Cross Fire' Content Update Adds Mutation Mode

In Cross Fire, two international mercenary forces corporations are at war. Players assume the role of either a Black List mercenary or a Global Risk terrorist, and join an online team that must work together to succeed in completing objective-based scenarios.

Participants assume the roles of online characters that interact with other players while engaging in battle and other activities through multiple levels. New to this genre, is the revenue model whereby the game is free to download and play, but players purchase value-added, in-game services and assets, along with premium features that enhance the game experience. Cross Fire is the role model of a first person shooter game with stable and powerful action as well as a strategic battle map. The game boasts sophisticated graphics and a unique system which allows the game to run smoothly even on low-end PCs.

With two international mercenary forces corporations at war, players assume the role of either a Black Risk mercenary or Global Risk terrorist, and join an online team that must work together to win certain objective-based scenarios. There are four modes of play in the game including Team Death Match, Exploder Match, Elimination Match and Ghost Match. Upon successful completion of these exciting and competitive modes and matches, players earn experience points and achievements which advance their character up various military ranks.

Team Death Match is the meat and potatoes of the multiplayer first-person shooter. In this mode, two teams fight to the death with the number of kills separating the winners from the losers. Cross Fire will feature 8 on 8 team death matches across 6 unique locales including, a cursed Egyptian tomb, an abandoned railway station, and a speedway in Monaco. Players can assemble a team of their friends using Cross Fire’s integrated Friends Lists, or create a clan using Cross Fire’s clan formation system and gain notoriety as your clan ascends up the online ranks.

This update marks a whole new chapter in the ongoing conflict between Black List and Global Risk mercenaries, the two factions whose rivalry is at the core of Cross Fire. When a deadly bio-technological weapon begins transforming the masses into deadly Mutants, Black List and Global Risk must team-up to eliminate the threat. What they don't realize is that Mutants can turn soldiers to the Mutant side with just one swipe of their gigantic claws! Players must work together to fight off Mutants while avoiding being transformed into a Mutant themselves!

Soldiers can fend off Mutants with an assortment of new weaponry including: an advanced version of the M60 machinegun, the all-new RPK machinegun, and a lethal Mutation-only grenade. Players can use their new artillery on two new maps -- Zone 13 and Port -- which feature expansive, multi-tiered, urban environments with many specialized locations to hide out from Mutants or mount offensive attacks from.

"With its engrossing storyline, great characters and array of new weaponry, this update takes the Cross Fire gaming experience to the next level," said Howard He, Chief Executive Officer of G4BOX. "We're committed to bringing the highest level of gameplay to our fans, and the new "Mutation Mode" update does just that by combining a slew of new features with an intriguing "Mutant War" back story that players can follow on the newly re-launched Cross Fire homepage."
