New In Game Achievements!
CrossFire evolves once again today and brings to you a new achievement system! Earn these symbols of honor and fame by playing games and meeting the requirements for the achievements.

To view a large selection of the achievements included in this update please visit our visual spoiler here.

How to Earn Achievements!

• Earning achievement is as simple as playing CrossFire!
• Achievements progress over time in stages, earn enough of the requirements for one stage and earn that achievement!
• Note that there are limits to the amount you can progress a given achievement at any time. For example, only 50% of your TDM kills will count towards progressing the Spray 'N Pray achievement.
• Collecting more "points" towards a given stage within an achievement won't progress you past the next stage. For example, if you need 50 kills for stage 1 and you achieve 100 kills in your first game, you wont get stage 1 and 50 kills towards stage 2.

Achievement Rewards!

• Moving an achievement up the stages will give you rewards and bonus effects for your account!
• As you move up the stages the bonus effects get better and better.
• Some effects can only be used a few times a day.
• Some effects are permanent for any action that triggers it.
• To register your main achievement which is the one that displays to others check out the options in the character profile tab under "achievements".
• Some achievements have one-time rewards.

Achievement Bonus Event!
From July 18 - 31st for each of the first stage achievements you earn in game we're going to add an extra 500 GP to your account!
