Please merge with the Russian version

privet :p

We are 2 weeks before November patch / last 2 merges with other versions were in November on the last 2 years.

November 2018 -- merge with Europe
November 2019 --merge with Spain
https://forum.z8games.com/forum/crossfire/crossfire-announcements/6869837-crossfire-west
https://forum.z8games.com/forum/crossfire/crossfire-announcements/6913597-welcome-to-crossfire-west

Is there any chance this November to merge with the Russian version?the Russian players are maybe not speak English,but they are competitive and respectful players,they hate hacks and would never use trash weapons like evo or m4 vip.They would contribute alot to the game.I know the Russian version is managed and operated by mail.ru and not z8games,but maybe there is still something to do!?the Russian version is kinda dead to be honest,there is 1 full server,like was with the Europe version before they decided to add them to us.

I would've as well recommend to merge with the Brazilian version,but the BR version is very unlikely ,since the majority of the hackers in 2009-11 were from Brazil,and the back at the time players had to put much of effort for convince the GM's to detach them from our game and make to them their own version.

Thumb up your fingers people :rolleyes:

  • There might be a bit too big of a language difference here. Same as CF RU probably wouldn't merge with CF China. What's the server population like anyway in CF RU these days?

    There are europe servers in west for such a countries.russian players get the same ping as germans in cf west uk severs(15-30)...in china there are not eu servers

    There are 50 clients of full 10 servers in china(500 full severs any time of the day& roughly 1 million players),so I highly doubt they need to "merge" with any one for "keep running" their game...unlike in west there are 5000 players and in russian maybe 1000.so better off merge them both ,before one of them or they both will dead.



    about the population...I write about it in the original post

    That's a small server population for sure. But what about the language barrier? ES and EU players could more easily adjust to English, I don't think many Russians will follow that easily. We already have a lot of MENA players not speaking proper English. I'm not trying to discriminate here but the version is still meant for mostly English speaking countries.

    Let's not forget Japan was closed altogether cause there was no use merging it with China because of version and language differences. Not all versions are meant to be merged.

    Thanks for your feedback !

    I know russians are not very familiar with english,but arabs are neither,yet 90% of the game are from countries where people don't talk english at all so I don't think a merge would change anything except for increase the player base and help the game to run longer.as for the current players there would be no change in game,but for people like me and other long survive few players left in the game who speak it ,we would have alot of benefit from it,as currently we can't even gathered more than 2 people toghter in team speak for make a team for rank sd or clan war or rank zm or even for do video or something fun for ourselves,so how to get a team of 5? (so this thread is kinda of "personal request",and not wide thinking about overall players.but your responses on this thread are also kinda "selfish" as you point of few is "if I can't even chat with them and they can't understand me,then no need them here and they can go play something else",while no think about others who would be happy from it)... this version should been called "CF global" as the community is very diverse.

    CS Go is also mainly for amercians...and there is too ,almost no one speak english (same as dota/pubg/fortnine).

    In cf ru,the little community they have ,even tho they don't speak eng,they still feel very connected to the american scene ,to seasons and holidays like halloween and christmas
    just look for example this page - they have made on their version an event for hallowen few days ago and their players post their "Arts" on it.
    https://vk.com/album-18479452_275460744

    As for japan being closed...well japan and china are not the same ,they actually at long year misunderstanding between them...same as like cf russia banned ukraine from their version like 2 years ago.

    I know right? :p

    But russians have lots of ethic and respect to the game and themselves,they think differently and their brain works differently from the people on this version, for example use evo or female char or farm exp is extremely shameful for them,while here on NA "all means are valid for the purpose" and no one cares to even use evo or whatever as long as they win.even if it mean use gay weapons.
  • Honestly though, soon enough I assume all versions will merge except for cfcn.. may take alittle but we'l get there.
  • I would like to see that happean but as far as i can imagine, the next merge will be with the CF AL(Brazilian), i've noticed 1 of the GMs of CF AL, recently joined CF West team, GM Tuga. I would like to see more russians in the european server and less folks from egypt, they just dont stick with their own servers which makes life harder for every european who whishes to play with/against a similar ping player, plus communication with them kinda sucks, playing pubs is literally giv vib or kick :mad:

    and you think Arabic isn't a big difference.... no offense but i don't know what they are saying at all. it's like we need a forum to learn it.
  • It would be cool thing and bring diversity to the game.

    I think that if we were to merge with Brazil again then it will kill the game here once and for all.
    Maybe you have not been here long enough to remember what happened last time they were allowed to grace our servers.
    I remember last time and that was the worst period in crossfire history.
    Just stating a true FACT there.
    I have played with a few Russian players and never had a problem with them, so if that brings some life back into the game by bringing Russia in and saving this dying game then I would like to see it happen and save both communities.

    The only reason CF West has a license for MENA countries is because there is a huge amount of players from that region and the game simply wouldn't survive when we wouldn't have those players. I still find it very inconvenient, but rather have the game staying alive than it closing altogether because of a decrease in players. Having said this, I would be a hypocrite to say Russians shouldn't be able to merge with West, I had a Russian friend in EU too and his ping was fine on EU servers. [USER="23452201"]adigagever92[/USER] I do get you want more friends to converse with in your own language, I myself are Dutch and really like chatting in my mother language.

    Another question though, in regards to the Russian alphabet, what is their keyboard lay out like? Considering we have the US layout here in CF West, would they even be able to type properly?

    Chill, the last time they were on the CF West(NA back then) they didn't have their own regional server, now they have, the LATAM South(Stands for Latin America), plus, as far as i remembered the issue was the fact that they used cheats a lot, well now we have the in game report system which exists on the CF AL they're very well aware of that, plus i believe brazilian comunity changed a lot in a good way, they became very good players, i mean the ones who still play the game, they really did something good about their community over the years, i love watching brazilian pro teams and brazilian streamers and youtubers, anyways if this game survives with the egy community, they're way more into cheating and doing silly things than brazilians, i just hope that every community that went out of this crossfire version comes back with their proper servers, in order to keep the game alive, and please, i hope GMs do something about ppl not playing on their own servers, make a ping restriction i dont know, just do something to improve it a little, i hate to shot people and they just dont get damaged at all..

    Cannot agree with what you say about Egyptians being worse cheats than Brazilians. That is just not true.
    Also The amount of abuse from the Brazilian community was insane. All I can hear is that four letter word they were so fond of, still ringing in my ears.
    You say that you love watching their pro teams, streamers and youtubers, that is fine,but that is not the majority of what would be joining us.
    I stand by what I said in my previous post.
    We have a saying in England. Once bitten,Twice shy.
    I hope we never see them come back to our servers.

    Ah yes the extremely racist Brazilians that would take over a server and kick anyone that was white I remember all to well.
  • I for one welcome the Russians ill gladly take players that maybe dont know english at the worse over the current annoying Arab kids that just want to beg for my VIP weapons and team with me in hero modes.
  • i just read in cf wiki that another 1-2 versions get closed =(

    https://crossfirefps.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000580624

    I hope not to see the West version next

    I wonder why the game has such a bad exposure on the latest years of places like steam and such...well the blame is kinda on them,we told them years ago to do something about the hackers and fps drops and they were just called our critic "whining",now it return to them -_-'

    I'm not old enough in "CF World" to really understand what was like the time we didn't have a brazilian exclusive version, but I can confirm that the "Br community" has changed a lot. We still have our trolls, but they are not the most of us. That's for sure, mate. Besides, our own version is dying out. We don't even have half of a full server, since they have dimished the servers' individual slot capacity.

    I see your frustation with us, the brazilians. But It's better to give us a chance and keep the game alive for both sides than keep it the way it is today.

    Don't say this. It is very likely that our servers will merge in the future. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But it's almost certain that it will happen some day in the near future.
  • Let’s stay on topic here guys, this thread was specifically intended for discussing merging with CF Russia, not Brazil.
  • i from russia, and I confirm that our localization has been dying for 2 years,and I would like to merge the servers.

    Fair point, it’s just that it becomes a little unorganised since BR and RU are two completely different versions.
  • Did some research only to find CF Russia has VVIP's so incredibly cheap it would really be unfair if they ever merged with West. EU, ES and NA prices were at least comparable.

    That thread bump tho...

    Anyways - on topic :

    "language difference" doesn't matter to be honest,as long as they can play.

    It's a game after all,and meant to play,and not for chat/spam discord.

    "Chatting" is optional,and something like "can we chat to the players we merge to" shouldn't be in consideration when thinking about merge other versions.
  • Well, i'd feel sorry for those Russians who will play with Turks. No hell give them such an anguish.
