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.

The free update, which will download automatically when players launch the game, features a patriotic "Navy SEAL" theme just in time for Independence Day.   To kick off the update, players can participate in daily in-game activities to earn new ribbon achievements from June 23rd through Sunday, June 26th, 2011! 

The free Navy SEAL update delivers a ton of all-new content including a new playable Navy SEAL character and a new Search & Destroy mode map: "Compound".  The update will also introduce four new military-grade weapons, including the M14EBR rifle, the SR-2M VERESK submachine gun, the MK23 SOCOM pistol, and M4A1-Liberty assault rifle, which features an All-American skin!

Starting today, players will also be able to earn two new ribbons to display proudly on their Cross Fire account profile by completing certain in-game objectives. New daily missions and objectives will be issued to players daily from Thursday, June 23rd through Sunday, June 26th, 2011!  

"Everyone is talking about the US Navy SEALS and their recent successes in the field.
