My day on Crossfire.
I got on Crossfire. Got tired of having a sole clan member who was never on. So, I joined a different clan. They wanted to clan war right away. I love to scrim, so I was excited. We play, and lose, a few search and destroys, and decide to play Ghost Mode. I attempt to tell my clan that I'm going to go "afk" for a minute, but since every word is blocked on Crossfire now, it gets censored. I don't know why they do this. They should just have some sort of safety thing you can turn on in options that filters it. Or add "may contain explicit language" to the game rating thing. This game is rated teen after all. And every teen is aware of the word f***. Honestly. It has filters on abbreviations, and even if you tried to have numbers in the word, it's too smart and it censors it. It's ridiculous though when you can't whisper friends anymore because they have the word "fa.k.e" in their name. Or you look like a re*ard because your sentences randomly look like this. "that???? at??? you" Whatever. I come back not too long after the game starts, and I take action. I clutched it for us and killed three of them. This is an easy win, I'm feeling good. Next round starts and low and behold! The one guy that was dead is a haacker. We enjoy the rest of the game being shot in our spawn before we can even move. The "pro" then has the nerve to call us "noobs". I saved replay and whenever I'm not lazy I will report them. Because reporting people has to be so God damned complex. Why can't you just have a report player option when you right click somebody? After the clan war, I was trying to get my assassin badge. Since all I have on this account is a knife, and because I'm, admittedly, too noob to get any kills when put against a room filled with kurkis and katanas, I decided to join a few team death matches and use my pistol. Three rooms in a row there was a speed hacker. Nobody would ever kick, and the few times some brave soul did, it would get denied with something like 4-12. Because everybody playing now-a-days are Brazilian and they don't understand when you say "Please kick the hacker". So, why is this game Crossfire: North America? Apparently it's Universal Crossfire. If you're going to let everybody play, at least do the following: put servers in more places, or create a new server on CF just for high pingers. Or something like that. Because it is quite annoying when you shoot somebody 50 times for 0 damage, but they can shoot you just fine. Or when they lag so bad that they teleport across the map. Even pathetic low pingers don't kick because they think it's hilarious, or they want the win. I get my badge. A generous 2000 GP. I go to get a crate. Then decide against it because, damn, those crates suck. I figured it out that if you were to look at all those boxes, to make a circle, there could only be 10 of them. There's no way that you spin those things 20 times and you can't land on the prize once. Impossible. They also are cheap with what they give you. 20 dollars spent on crates to get a bunch of lousy GP? Damn. So, I decide to do missions. I look at the three options. I see the same sh*t we always get. Port, Sub Base, Sub Base, Port, Eagle Eye. I'm bored with those maps. So I get fed up and log off.
Moral of the story? Crossfire is trash.

1). Game never claimed to be North American, if it was we wouldn't have Europe or South American players. Get used to it, try playing it Echo 8.
2). It's a lottery, go in expecting to win nothing. They are not required to give you anything. And is it a rip-off? To you maybe, if you don't like it put your $20 bucks else where.
3). Proceed to this thread, to learn about X-Trap and it's makers.
Until then man up and get over it. It's a game, a free game. Of course there will be hackers. Crossfire is one of the best free FPS on the web at this point. -

Indeed Crossfire is the closest you will get to a free Counter Strike, which is the best pc game for 1st person players. Hackers will always be on any free game because, well its free. Z8 can't ban every kid that hacks every day. Give them some slack dude. -

Actually it's not priceless, I'm sure it's expensive to be hosting dead servers that no one it's intended demograph or anyone for that matter uses. -

I hop in US South quite a bit, I find it laughable my ping (from a server that is in Miami) is 30. While I get 67 on a server that is 1,500 miles away. Joke.
They don't use the server intended for them. Beyond me why they still host the South Servers. -

Well, obviously everybody who plays isn't American. I live in eastern Canada, so playing on a southern US server wouldn't make sense would it? I don't see how that is relevant anyway. I'm complaining about laggers, not lagging. My ping is just fine. -

The crates are a rip-off. How don't you agree? All you ever get is a bunch of GP. I'm aware that they aren't required to give you anything, but you think for 20$, I'd at least get an m4-adv for awhile. Damn.
I would like to man up and get over it. Really, I would. But I'm a girl. So therefore I'm not sure if that would work out too well.
Thanks for your opinion. -

I'll give them some slack when they actually try. They make a lot of money. I know they can't get right to work on banning all the hackers, but they could at least update more often to prevent them. And besides, they don't even IP ban. What's the point of account banning? All them kiddies who got sick of being bad will just make another account to haack on anyway. -
You do win stuff in the crates...just some people get lucky while others don't.WATTEVERRRR wrote: »The crates are a rip-off. How don't you agree? All you ever get is a bunch of GP.
