Hero Mode X has Arrived!

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:58:01 GMT

The Alien, Xeno, has united Mutants everywhere and is bent on conquering Earth. Meanwhile an elite squad of Commandos has risen up to stop them! Play as either Xeno of Commando in the new Hero Mode X and decide the fate of humanity today!

For a visual spoiler of the patch please view our Patch Content Page by clicking here.

Patch Notes

New Mode - Hero Mode X!
Hero Mode X is an extension of the original Hero Mode only this time you can play as super characters Xeno and Commando. Xeno mutants have a very fast attack and movement speed and have a special shield ability that makes them more durable.

The Soldiers aren't without their own tricks. Commandos have been deployed to combat the new threats. Up to 3 Commandos can spawn in HMX Games (depending on the amount of players). These commandos can kill mutants easily with their powerful dual kukris. And the Commandos resist mutant attacks which makes them even more deadly.

As with Hero Mode, the more damage the team does to mutants the more bonus damage they gain as the match goes on. And Mutants will respawn until melee killed or killed by the Commando.

Hero Mode X brings with it, two new maps to play on. Rooftops, an urban-themed map where the action takes place in the streets and on the rooftops; and Mansion, a once-quiet country home before the mutant invasion tore it apart!

Purchase Issues - Jan 19-23 - Resolved

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:19:00 GMT

We have determined there was a minor problem that affected a few accounts between January 19th - January 23rd when purchasing items from the mall and depositing ZP.

For those who purchased items over the weekend and received the item, they may have noticed that points were not deducted from their account. In these cases we will be removing those items from the affected accounts. The points issue was corrected, if you would like to use the item again, simply rebuy it from the mall as normal. If you used your points on other things and cannot rebuy the item, then consider the free use of the item over the weekend our gift to you for the problem that occurred.

For those who had problems with ZP deposits we will be adding the points to your account. As with all zp transactions, very detailed, very specific records are kept. In this case it was a communication problem on our site. While we had the transaction record in our system, it was not showing up properly when it was time to give out the points. All players affected by this should have their points on their accounts today.

Please note that if you see a purchase problem with items or zp deposits please don't hesitate to contact us through our web support system at http://support.z8games.com. We have a dedicated staff here who will look in to your issues and come up with the solutions so you can continue to enjoy Cross Fire!

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Attention Soldiers!

The Cross Fire servers will be down tonight at 10pm EST for approximately 3 hours while we restart the servers with an update to fix some recent bugs introduced in the last patch.

This patch will help stabilize the game and look to fix the loading error people have been experiencing as well as correct the error with Nightmare Bosses on the new Zombie Mode map - Venice.

*Please note that we cannot guarantee a solution at this time. Loading errors can be caused by anything from the setup of the users computer to a bug within the game. No all loading problems are ours or the developers fault.*

THERE WILL BE NO NEW CONTENT WITH THIS PATCH.

Thanks for your patience in this matter. We hope that with this fix everyone will be able to enjoy a Christmas Cross Fire experience!

For those who have been playing in the 12 Days of CF and have been hampered with this loading error we will look to do some events in the next week or two which will involve plenty of chances for free items and the new AK47 Knife Adv! And don't forget there are still 3 days left!

New Match Point Ranking - In addition to Clan Points and the new Clan List divisions, we are listing the top Match Point clans. Earn Match points by playing other clans on the Clan Server. Points are awarded in an "Elo style" system. Note that your division will also affect how many Match Points can be gained.

New Match Tracking - Track your clans last 7 days worth of matches by clicking the Match tab on your clan page. See who you played against, what map, what the score was, and who earned extra player awards!

New Clan Page and Profile Page features - Your Clan Page has changed a bit to reflect some of these new stats. Additionally some new stats are shown on your Profile Page.

And Much More!

This new system gives us a great many tools to track and watch clans. We expect to see new events, new ladders, seasons, tournaments and leagues all within the Clan Page and all brought to you exclusively for Cross Fire NA/UK.

CF Zombie Mode Update

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 03:15:17 GMT

The CF Servers are live and you will need to update your client. Two bugs have been fixed in this patch: The first bug removed your kill statistics from Zombie Mode from your regular record. This was an unintended result introduced from Zombie Mode. The second bug disallowed excess EXP and GP gained on an account as a result of leaving a game before the match was over (non Zombie Mode games).

The EXP and GP gained from this exploit has not been removed from your accounts, however your kills and deaths and statistics achieved from Zombie Mode have been reset. We will be adding these additional statistics to your clan profile at a later date.

For full information on this patch, please refer to our Community Forum post on this subject.

Site Issues Sept 5/6

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 16:16:38 GMT

Hello Z8Gamers!

On September 5th Z8Games started to experience some technical difficulties with our website and our game servers (especially those located in North America). This was a problem that was beyond the simple control of our technicians and required some additional help to fix. During this time, our website was virtually down and players were experiencing stability issues on our game servers for both Metin 2 and Cross Fire!

We have been working to solve these issues and as you can see, most of our site is functioning again. There are still a few areas that need to be fixed, but for the most part we are back in action!

During this time, players who made ZP transactions either through the site, our game, or through some survey companies may not have received your points. We are in the process of restoring these records and handing out the points to all accounts. Please allow 24 hours for your points to be delivered from the time of this post. If by 4pm EST on September 7, 2011 you have not received your points please send in a support ticket through our support site about this issue.

Our Support Site can be located by clicking the support link, or by going to http://support.z8games.com.

Please remember to have available all proof of purchase for points, this will include payment receipts and statments from payment options, transaction numbers and any proof of complete surveys.

We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you all for your patience and for playing our great games!

To use this new service, make sure you have a gift card filled with a enough dollar ammount to match one of the ZP options and head over to our Deposit Page.

From there choose the retailer of the card you own (currently only Subway is available)

Rival Factions Returns with Season 2!

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 17:11:09 GMT

Rival Factions is back!

Click here to view the new Rival Factions page!

Season 2 of Rival Factions begins with an introductory story. A new hero has joined the Global Risk team to seek out Ghost and a new threat! Read the Season 2 Introduction story on the Rival Factions page here!

The introduction story is just that. There will be no mission or prizes for this particular story. Episode one will begin some time after April 10th.

And without further ado, here are the specific details for Season 2.

Each mission will be approximately 1 month long. With small prizes going to the top 100 players from each side and a more significant prize going to the top 10 players from the WINNING side on each mission.

Each mission is accompanied by a short story to set up the location and mission you'll be playing on!

Season 2 (and the beginning of all future seasons) also marks the opportunity to change sides. If you didn't like the way Ghost treated you while a member of Black List or if you got tired of fighting for order with Roid then how is your chance to Re-Enlist with a new side!

*note* If you do not want to change sides you do not have to re-enlist. You will remain on the side you were on in Season 1.

After April 10th at 11:59pm the Rosters will be locked. And you will be unable to change sides until Season 3 Begins.

You can see the individual side details including the prize if your side wins and the leader board for that current side by clicking the mission details button at the bottom of the page (note the re-enlist button will be replaced after april 10th with this button as well).

So it's time to choose your side and fight along side your Favorite Rival Factions characters! If you want to talk about this new RF Season then head over to our Community Forums to discuss!

The Military Intelligence Ribbon has been Replaced

Thu, 24 Feb 2011 10:24:32 GMT

The Military Intelligence ribbon has been removed.

It has now been replaced by a ribbon called "An Army of One" - Get 100,000 kills in Cross Fire.

The ribbon was removed due to the spam content on the boards. We want people to join in the discussion in our community. Not post for the sake of a ribbon. The Military Intelligence ribbon will not cause reward achievements to be removed. If you have "Look at all my Ribbons!" and "My Ribbons are Made of Crystal" you will still have them after this change.

For more details you can visit our Community Forum post on the subject here.

We have plenty of more ribbons in the works. There will be lots of opportunities to get more achievements.

Post Patch Fun!

After some stability issues over the weekend we've managed to come back to life in full force! We're glad that everyone is enjoying the patch, new ribbons and much more! All the Hero Ribbons from this patch have been handed out, but due to the many stability issues with the game we understand that some people didn't recieve it yet!

We also have some other details about the new ribbons to report. All the previous problems should be fixed and over the course of the next 24-48 hours all those people who deserve the ribbons should get them!

Color an M4A1-Adv Mini Contest!

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 16:55:06 GMT

Attention Artists and Soldiers alike!

You need more than just good aim to get that perfect Golden Headshot in Cross Fire. You need to have a steady hand, be cool under pressure and of course having a silenced M4A1 doesn't hurt either!

Sometimes a little artistry and finesse makes that killer shot much more satisfying!

With that in mind, Z8Games wants to test your artistic talent with a coloring contest!

We want to see what you can do with a blank templace of an M4A1-Adv. How would you make it look? Would you drop down an urban camouflage to hide in the city's of Downtown. Or would you throw dragons and faeries on it so you could stalk your prey in Never-Never Land?!

There's no limits to the imagination so get out there and start Coloring (digital or otherwise).

Oh and just to give you a little more incentive, we'll be selecting the cream of the crop in two categories to award 90 Day M4A1-Adv's weapons to the winning accounts!

Submit your entries on our forums or on our facebook page between Jan 17th and Jan 24th (midnight EST). Prizes will be handed out shortly after the winners are chosen.

Please read our forum post for full rules and details on this mini contest!

Recent intelligence reports have shown that Cross Fire is invading the gaming world! More and more people are learning about Cross Fire and joining the ranks of Sir Alex Roid and Ghost every day! Thus a mission has been set forth by the Leaders of Black List and Global Risk.

They have said that our growing Xfire rank is not good enough and demand that we break the top 10 xfire rankings! Currently we're ranked #12, but we need more from our soldiers!

Roid and Ghost both agree that more playing equals more experience and are prepared to offer the players of Cross Fire 10% more experience next weekend IF AND ONLY IF Cross Fire breaks the top 10 this weekend.

So get to it soldiers! If you aren't on Xfire already make sure to download it, or get the latest version of our client which comes packaged with Xfire! Sign up for an account and get playing! If we make it to the top 10 this weekend we'll all be rewarded with 10% more experience next weekend!

And don't forget to join the Official Cross Fire Xfire Community!

Rival Factions: RF-05 Downtown Begins Today

Fri, 28 May 2010 18:04:23 GMT

The 5th installment of the ongoing Rival Factions event is now online!

Following months of chaotic encounters, a plague of betrayals and defections have decimated the morale of Global Risk and Black List specal operatives alike. In an unprecedented move, Sir Alex Roid and Ghost have declared both factions disbanded immediately.

Now, more than ever, the two factions appear to be two sides of the same coin.

Players now have the opportunity to choose their side once again as Global Risk and Black List rebuild their organizations. All current allegiances to either side have been erased, so be sure to choose your side today!

Black List and Global Risk clash again and the Cross Fire story continues in Rival Factions RF-05: Downtown! Fight for your side and reap the rewards.

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:05:15 GMT

Rival Factions Mission #2 is complete! Black List has once again defeated Global Risk and they now lead their rivals 2-0. Sir Alex Roid and his troops are in a difficult position, but it is still very early in the grand scheme of things.

De-briefings for each side are on the Current Mission page and prizes are being distributed on Thursday March 4th 2010.

All members of the Black List clan will receive:

- 7-day Dread

The top 100 members of Black List will receive:

- 7-day Green Muzzle Flame

The top 100 members of Global Risk will receive:

- 7-day Standing Fire GR Spray

Rival Factions Mission #3 will go up next Wednesday March 10th 2010, so stay tuned!

Rival Factions: RF-02 Black Widow

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:47:04 GMT

Time is running out for Sir Alex Roid and Global Risk forces, as they face the possibility of another defeat at the hands of Black List. Karen O'Neil and Lt.Steadman will have to rally the troops if they hope to find any information on the location of M.I.A. Lt. Reinhardt. Do they have what it takes to turn things around by the time this mission ends? Dragon and Duncan MacKay will certainly put up a fight, as they seek to maintain the reputation of their supreme leader, Ghost.

The Black Widow mission will end on March 3, 2010 and de-briefings will be up on the same date.

Check out the current score for Global Risk vs Black List here:

A Ghostly Rebuttal

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:16:54 GMT

Surprise, surprise. A long-winded speech from Sir Alex Roid.

It will do you no good. The death toll is too high, our lead unsurmountable. Questionable tactics? Black List was born out of questionable tactics.

We will win. At any cost. Black List, do not dare fail me!

Ghost

A Call to Arms from Sir Alex Roid

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:51:55 GMT

Global Risk Soldiers,

I am deeply disturbed by our current plight. In the war on terror we are currently at a loss and this is unacceptable!

Time is running out! This mission will end on February 3rd, 2010. We must rally together to turn the tide of this battle!

Perhaps I didn't properly illustrate the importance of this mission. The cargo we have been tasked with protecting is precious. If it were to fall into the hands of our enemy, the impact on the world as we know it would be disastrous. As protectors of the free world we cannot let this happen!

It has also come to my attention that Black List may have employed questionable harvesting tactics in gaining their lead. Luckily, I have taken action to level the playing field. Know this! These tactics will no longer work. Now is your chance to make amends, both to me, and those who depend on us. Let's not disappoint them! The fate of the world is in our hands.

For Queen and Country,

Sir Alex Roid out.

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:05:36 GMT

We are proud to announce that premier gaming league, the WOGL, has decided to host an opening Cross Fire tournament. This comes following the tremendous success of their Exhibition match between CF clans, Lifeline and Trio (watch it here!). Thanks CF community! Your interest in that match made this happen!

The tournament promises to be a huge event, so the prizes are pretty serious:

1st Place: 60,000 ZP + Limited Edition Gold M4A1 (per team member)
2nd Place: 30,000 ZP (per team member)
3rd Place: 15,000 ZP (per team member)

Many teams have already signed up, so if you're thinking about entering get to it! The entry deadline is February 7th, 2010. For in depth tutorials on how to sign-up for the tournament go here.

Throughout the tournament, the WOGL will be streaming select matches so that players can watch all the action. We will also be providing tournament updates via this blog and our various social networks.

Thanks to the WOGL for picking us up. These guys do great work and we're really excited to be working with them.

Updates: Event = Success, Xfire Video Contest, and a Not So Subtle Hint

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:17:07 GMT

Greetings Soldiers,

We're back with a few quick updates regarding recent and upcoming events. Up first, Rival Factions...

The Cross Fire community has been rightfully divided and the war is fully underway with point totals for each team now in the millions!

We're glad to see that the players have taken to the rivalry and to all those fence-sitters out there, this is war! A battlefield is no place for spectators or sissies! Choose your side now here.

Black List, lead by the mysterious Ghost, currently lead in the war, though the scores are tight. Alex Roid and the Global Risk team will have to turn things around quickly though because Mission One (RF-01) will end on February 03, 2010. That morning, the final scores will be updated and the winner for this mission will be declared. Shortly after, De-Briefings for each side will be posted on the "Current Missions" page which will reveal the conclusion of this mission and hint towards the next. Oh yeah, prizes will also be distributed to members of the winning clan.

Next up we have the Xfire Video Contest. The event so far has been a tremendous success and from what I can tell the Cross Fire category leads in the total number of submissions, so congratulations to you guys! Keep up the good work because the VCAs will run until February 22nd, 2010. Good luck to all entrants! Check out the contest page here. EDIT: I was just notified that Xfire received an update that should make the video capture feature work for Windows Vista and 7 users.

Finally, there's some weird stuff afoot on our YouTube and Facebook pages. WOOOHOOO! WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY MEAN!??!

Whatever it means you can bet it will be announced here first! So stay tuned!

Rival Factions Has Begun! Choose Your Side!

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:34:50 GMT

What started as just a twinkle in a young Z8Games employee's eye, has now evolved into "Rival Factions" an ongoing and exclusive event unlike any other.

This event will let Cross Fire players finally show their allegiance to Global Risk or Black List, and give the game a cool story that you the fans can influence and have a say in. Here's how it works:

- Choose your faction, either Black List or Global Risk, here. Once you do, you will be automatically put into the game-wide clan for either team. This will not affect your current clan allegiances or point totals! Choose wisely because there is currently no way of going back once you pick a side!

- Visit the Rival Factions page to see the current world map and general description of the event. The world map and past missions timeline will be updated as missions are completed to reflect the territory held by each faction.

- In the "Current Mission" section, you can view the latest mission briefing which finally reveals mysterious characters like Sir Alex Roid and Ghost. Mission One (RF-01) takes place on the Transport Ship map. The scoring rules for playing on this map are given, and the current scores for each side can be viewed. Overall scores and leaderboards will be updated once a day with the first update happening tomorrow morning.

- Depending on the winner of the current mission, the storyline will take different directions. Awards will also be distributed to members of the winning faction, so make sure you join one of the clans.

And that's about it! Check out the Rival Factions page here and prepare for war!

New Cross Fire Website Online Now!

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:21:04 GMT

Z8Games is proud to unveil an all-new Cross Fire website. The new site features a ton of cool new features so be sure to check it out here: http://crossfire.z8games.com

Welcome to the Brand New Cross Fire Website

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:58:46 GMT

Up from the trenches (forums) rose the cries, "Epic Failz! Lulz! Haxorz! F11! Zombie Mode! Something new!"

So the Z8Games Cross Fire team went deep underground (or across the hall to the dreaded meeting room), locking ourselves in for an epic think-tank and throwing away the key. After many artistic revisions, marketing nitpicks, and even a name change, the dust finally settled, and we emerged from the abyss.

The result? This website. Your future resource for all things Cross Fire and hub for some exciting new community events and features.

Take a look around, we hope you'll like it (or at least find it slightly amusing)! Here's what's new:

- Powered by YouTube video page (with videos by YOU!)
- A dedicated Video and Screenshot Contests page
- An extensive weapons and equipment guide (we're almost done!)
- Rival Factions event (Season 01 begins today!)

Hey it's not Zombies but who knows, maybe there's a mutated cookie hidden in here somewhere if you look hard enough.

Check back here shortly for a more in-depth look at the "Rival Factions" event!
