Oh Just wanted you to know...

There is a game Called Delta Force : Black Hawk Down ( made in 2004) and now.. 8 years later.. there is still more people playing Black Hawk Down than any other Delta Force Games..

Even the latest Delta Force (2011)

So don't tell me a game will die in the next 5 years... if BHD still has 5000+ people playing in 8 years.. im pretty sure this community will last awhile as well..

Just saying.

I played the Delta Force game. I remember shooting terrorists with the night vision goggle. That was before Modern Warfare and Battle Field. That was even before Afghan war started.

A new engine would actually solve most of the hacking problems.

Technically, all online multi-player games will eventually fail, and any money you have spent on it will disappear with it, whether it be a Minecraft server, Realm of the Mad God or Crossfire.

So there is nothing unique about Crossfire eventually failing and all of our data being lost.

When we start thinking that way, we start to question just how useless playing a game is, we start to question how the world can be helped, we start wondering what the purpose of life is, and then we wander into the delves of the unknown universe, of the human mind.

Then you realize that you need to finish the GM event for the ribbon, so you open up CF and it's all good again.

Nah, don't think That much.

I will not be playing anymore free2play games if my account will be lost after they upgrade the engine in next few years.

It is so much work gaining exp, ribbons, saving for guns, etc.

Too much of a sacrifice if I can't keep them till the end.

When I buy a BF3 for 60 bucks I can play for a year or two, and I know I will just get BF4 when it comes out for another 60 bucks, there is not that much investment to cry over.

SmileGate you reading this??

This game better still be around when I've finished my naruto: shippuden spree...which I estimate will take another good 2 months to finish....

If we can keep our accounts and play for a very long time while other games die and their players move on, we might become the biggest community.

who would still play this crappy game in 4 years? noooooneee by then we will all be grown ups! and there cant be a new generation of CF players can there? perhaps more brazilians but the NA players will go on to the next best thing

Ive played this game since late 08 early 09 and I don't intend on stopping anytime soon, sure when I get tired of it I take like a months worth brake and I play other games but non of them stick like CF, I keep coming back and that alone tells you the true value in this game... CF

I could argue that pretty easily using MW3 for pc and it's steam forums as an example.

This is business. As long as they continue to draw in revenue from old and new players, they will keep advancing the game. That will also include an upgrade to their game engine.
Imagine if they upgraded to a new crossfire engine and you have already spent $1,000+ dollars on guns and items. Would you do it again? I would think not. Just my opinion.

I said most of the hacking problems. Cross Fire is extremely easy to hack because of the way it's set up.

I agree. People will feel burned and will hate the developer, publisher and distributer.

Of course not. People might get a bonus for having played on this version (example: battlefield games), but game businesses never let players keep anywhere close to everything.

You'll have to restart from scratch if smilegate makes Cross Fire 2.0 (but I highly doubt they will).

If I have to start from scratch, I'll over dose myself. -__-'

That's because it's using the same engine as mw2....

True enough.

RancorRich · March 2012

The engine can be upgraded and the characters can be imported. Its all about the $$. Is it worth the investment.
I think they are getting to this point. They have a lot of followers and 100% internet play is here to stay. Now they need to do a cost analysis of which game engine will last for many years and the complexity of creating Crossfire and importing characters in the new format.

Z8: Will out accounts last forever? If the game changes, will our accounts be saved?
