Some items are for 7 days and can be extended to 30 days and 90 days. They are not permanent. At the right side of the page there is a picture:[IMG]http://mall.z8games.com/images/rightcolumn/hotitems_top.png[/IM]. Under the picture is a lsit of the hot items that people buy. Also there is another currency called BP (Bonus Points), This is how you can get it: EVerytime you get ZP 10% of that will be BP.

Choosing your gun isn't that easy. The gun has to feel right to you and look right. Only certian guns are unlocked early like the MP5,M4A1, MP7,AK-74 etc. You'll have to unlock the rest of the guns by leveleing up in rank. The m4a1 is the most popular gun in crossfire. The first thing you have to decide is what gun do you want? A powerful gun? A gun with fast rate of fire(RoF)? A sniper? or a well balanced gun? You can go into anygame and press "G" to drop your gun and walk over the gun on the floor and pick it up and check if you like it. Another way you can choose is go into the shooting range. In the item shop you click a gun and than look over to th left where your charcter is. Look under the charcter and there should be a enter shoting range button. In the shooting range you can shoot around on differently ranged targets. If you want to have more options in choosing you gun than contiue to rank up.

I wanna read that about bunny hopping... Looking forward to it
SamuraiMoMo wrote: »When your done make a PDF from it...
imo your wasting your time, but I guess everybody has there hobby's good luck :P
I'll finish the bunny hop guide as soon as possible and send it to you
I'm not really wasting time because I have too much free time. -
Not entirely useless. They help you learn the things you need to know much faster than if you tried to learn them yourselves. The reason why I'm making this guide is because CrossFire was my first FPS so I had some major problems. I just want to help out other people.To me, guides are pretty useless. I've played this game for about 1 year and 4 months now, and have pretty much figured every technique there is. However, that's just my opinion.
Keep up the good work
-
It's pretty obviously a guide, it has guide in the title and you in multiple places even called it a guide
Anyways, I don't see anybody really using this, I mean sure it would be useful to new players, however I don't think any of them would actually take the time to read this xD
