A CrossFire FAQ:
Well, I want to clear few things out, because many people are only requesting/talking about the same thing, again and again. You might get some good news/infos by the same time also! Let's get started!
__________________________________________________
Why bother suggesting in this forum, Z8/G4 don't even care about our suggestion?
It's completely false. In facts: DSR-1, Winchester-S, P90 Camo are the most known weapons that has been suggested from our forum. G4 only suggest to the Dev the idea that are the most accurate. But, the Dev have the final word on anything, they decide, not G4, deal with it. Also, if you don't try, you will never know if it could have been accepted (You never know what you can do until you try) Just keep trying and the fact that you want it, doesn't mean that the others want it. If alot of people want it, they will most likely (not 100% sure) get it. See want FallenAngel tried to do? He made few nice suggestions, players replied with their thought, but wasn't enough for the Dev apparently, atleast he tried and still try occasionnaly. On a side note: CrossFire PH community suggested a new SPOP character: "SPOP-X" and they got it.
So, it means if I request an existing map from another version and everyone agree with me, we will get it, right?
Yes and no. You don't need to ask for maps, because we will get them anytime soon, they have a schedule of release. The fact you request it, will not make it come faster. Just be patient and enjoy the maps we get. Also stop crying about "too much MM/HM maps", we GOT ALL OF THEM, so stop crying. We'll get more S&D/TD/GM/EM and Esc.
"We have a schedule for every release Sir. We will announce when it is reaching our islands." Quoted from [GM]Ayla from CrossFire Philippines.
When is Laboratory-2 or 3 coming?
I can't be more clear.
Many people post hacker thread, should I make one, so G4Box would wake up?
Trust me, they are FULLY AWARE of the hacking situation, also, Wise Logic (X-Trap) do the patch, not G4. Of course, they have their anti-hack system, but it's something THEY made, so it's not as huge as X-Trap. But still block alot of hackers. If you ever need to complain to WiseLogic (X-Trap), here's their official website: http://www.wiselogic.co.kr/
So, people saying: "I want hack patch and no new content", can you just stop already?
We want De_Dust2,
Dust2 (S&D, TD, FFA, MM, HM), Inferno (S&D), Aztec (S&D) are the most known maps in CrossFire China, in fact, who doesn't know Dust2? Are we going to get them? The answer is no. Unless a GM say the opposite, it's not coming. Why? Because QQ Tencent and Smilegate probably bought the right for using these maps in CrossFire China. Of course, you might think: why Z8 don't buy the rights? It's kinda different and also hard to explain.
The only exception are CS_Estate and Fy_Iceworld, which are Stronghold and Crossroad but highly edited (textures) but 90% same layout.
How about Abandonned Warehouse?
Same thing, it's a map from Sudden Attack.
Atleast Elite Mode?
Keep dreaming,
(Miracle can still happen tho...)
When is Challenge Mode coming? (Zombie/AI/Mission Mode)?
We have it,
It's freakin Zombie Mode! ^_^
I want [insert weapon name here] silver for BP!
Why do you guys keep thinking it has to be silver? I mean, yes M4 and AK are silver, but BP =/= Silver necessarily. For some reason, it ticks me off a whole lot. Ask for K2 Camo, I don't know, but can you just vary, please?
Barrett M82 anyone?
Many of you may ask why I'm against that sniper. Just because it's overpowered? Well, yes. It's an one shot sniper, very heavy, 100% wallbang, slow reload, etc. It's pretty slow between the shot, but you can easily quick switch and gain alot of time to kill your enemy faster and not beeing disavantaged at all. Do we really need this?
Also, many already suggested to give it to the Hero (random between Fal or Barrett). I'm sorry to tell you this, but some of the HM players can't handle the Fal Camo. Also, not everyone is good enough to snipe in MM/HM.
Even if it was restricted for MM/HM only, it's too powerful. You may think: SO? MUTANTS ARE TOO OP ANYWAY. That's false (more info below AN94). Mutants die way to fast, they don't even try to come close to you and just run away. Finally, they get killed through the wooden crates where they were hiding. So nerf it to 100hp/Headshot like in CrossFire Japan? What would be the point of adding it then?
Just stop asking for it, I mean, I think Saidin and all the others were clear enough about this. However, if we ever get it, you may laugh at me as much as you want, I will not care, I have my opinion, that's all.
Come on, add AN94 already,
I'm not against that weapon at all, but there's still one thing that bother me with that gun. You guys always beg for weapons and once you get them, you call them "Noob Cannon" most of time. Explain pl0x? I mean, yes, it's like a better AK47, low recoil, very accurate, good power, etc. It will come eventually, but for god sake, please, DO NOT CRY ABOUT IT.
Mutants are too much overpowered.
That's completly false. There's a huge difference between overpowered mutants and lack of teamwork. Of course, lack of teamwork is only 50% of the problem. Which means if most of the players would teamwork, they would have 50% more chance of surviving. Even if you fail, who cares? You tried, that's the most important thing, well for me. If I know I did good, what should I be mad? Just try, test, fail, and try again with your friends.
But the major problem that can be behind that "overpowered mutants" fact, which is the other 50%: the lagg. We're all aware of that problem. Even for myself I hate this, but we need to deal with it, there's nothing else we can do about it. It's up to the Dev to solve this. Either by caping the Ping or giving license to G4Box/Z8games to make a new server, etc.
X-Crap...
I've already talked a little bit about X-Trap above, but I decided to make a little board to see a few improvements:
__________________________________________________
That beeing said, I will leave some questions (some personal and some general) to the GMs/MODs. They are free to edit my post to answer in red under the questions, if possible, to make it clear to everyone,
If it's in green, it means I answered myself.
#1: Is everything Simrock said is true? If not, edit and add additional info in red.
[Insert Answer here]
#2: Is the gatling sound effect going to be changed for the one in CrossFire china? Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q_VPJVZhgU
[Insert Answer here]
#3: Why is the Mutation background music has been removed? It adds a great ambience to the mode,
[It's back!]
#4: Is Merida going to be in Mutation soon? Same for Sewers TD into Elimination, like in CrossFire China?
[Insert Answer here]
#5: Anything you can say regarding blockers in Mutation/Hero Mode. Also for the Flash/Smoke abuse inside every spot in the maps.
[Insert Answer here]
#6: Regarding lagging/low FPS peoples in Mutation/Hero Mode, it makes the mutants impossible to hold. Anything to say?
[Insert Answer here]
#7: Always about FPS, I know you are aware of the ladder problem with people having high FPS. Any update/info you can share?
[Insert Answer here]
#8: It is possible to block ATLEAST 500+ ping? It would cut half of the problem. I've seen many stable 1k and people spiking up into the 10K+...
[Insert Answer here]
#9: Why our Type89 sound like there's a silencer? It should sounds like the 2nd one in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2oZSJshavw
[Insert Answer here]
__________________________________________________
That'll be all for now, if any questions that is impossible to answer for any reason, either delete it or write: "Can't be answered" or whatever. Thank you in advance, sorry for speaking about other CrossFire versions, but few thing needed to be clear. If there's any spelling mistake or whatever, just stay calm and let me know.

Can you link me to a vid of Lab3?
Also.. I fully agree with your FAQ, but there's something bothering me..
We know Tencent bought the rights of Dust2 from CS.. But why won't we get it?
Because they've the rights?
I can't post link on the forum, but you can search by yourself on my ItsDamageInc channel.
About CSS maps, well, QQ Tencent are the publisher, so I guess we can have them unless Z8 buys the right also, BUT, it might be more complicated then just saying it. It had nothing to do with money. It's really hard for me to explain, some MODs are way more informed about this CSS maps/elite mode thing than me.
Also, as I said: "Miracle can happen tho",

Good informative posts Simrock, should give a few people some information on the questions concerning some items. However, depending on what goes on, I may have to modify some information that might be requested to be removed, for you know, the normal reasons. But overall I see nothing wrong with this.
Good job. -

QQ tencent are more than just a games publisher in china, they're like google. The cost of the maps are large and even more so for a game being sold as an international version rather than a country specific one. CSS is also a lot less dominant in china with CF being more widely seen in china than CSS is in the western world. -

Feel free, I got no problem with this, I understand,

yeh ours is the international version. people will find this before the other versions and in several cases even if their country has a version they'll stick to this one as they've probably already spent money on it.Ferretfolk wrote: »Wow. This answered a lot of my questions. maybe a clarification that our version is just simply Crossfire (global?) and the fact matter is that people will join despite bad pings? -
I have this problem
#7: Always about FPS, I know you are aware of the ladder problem with people having high FPS. Any update/info you can share?
[Insert Answer here]
Pressing [TAB] While going up ladders seems to help, SOMETIMES. Also it's not just going up ladders. It's also quite noticeable on some gun take out/reload times (especially AWM).

Even with my axe, ppl yell at me, xD You really should see me climbing... My friends are laughing at me, xD Back when I had my old CPU, I was climbing so fast that I could have been banned for speed hack, but now, with my PC gaming, I could get banned for Trolling players... xD (not for real, but you get thje point,). -

DSR...maybe. Winchester...I believe it existed and we asked for it after that. Its a Winchester with a useless scope that does 0-1 damage at long range. P90-Camo..we never asked for it and it's pretty crappy. Almost everything we do ask for that's in another version gets turned into ZP. Famas-Camo. Should be GP crate. I haven't seen it in game ever since it was put into the game. Well...Maple showed it to me in a private room and he even said it sucked.

Maybe an useless scope, but still a gp weapon or else I would never had the fun of using it.
The DSR-1 has been suggested by TalonBlaze and it's a beast gun for no scope. A great investment, if you want my opinion.
For the P90 Camo, I think yes, someone from our forum (maybe from a MOD to a GM) suggested it. Even tho it's not the best gun in CrossFire unlike in CA or Warrock, still good for Ghost Mode. And the color, just epic! Digital Camo = pure awesomeness!!!
Well, some people told me the Famas Camo was actually pretty decent. Ok, maybe not enough for being ZP Temp, but we must deal with it. -

Request sticky!
P.S. I think CM will come after this RF season or after the next one. Storyline issues.
Patience is a virtue, I rather wait than playing with bugs that make you disconnect either from the room or the game. I've been disconnected twice yesterday while playing some Challenge Mode. Both of them with the same code error.
I think we've all said enough about CM, so I suggest to stop talking about it before imy thread get closed for obvious reasons, -
My question for you Simrock (don't like your name change ^.^) Barrett M82 or M107?
I really cannot word it properly, just putting out the topic of the Barrett, maybe you can help me to formulate a question that can then be posted onto your FAQ. I just think that it does deserve some "recognition".
Like for one thing, in regards to the De_Dust2 out of popularity, is the Barrett in the same light? that is more of a personal question than something for the public. (Answer that pls tyvm)
G'night
