Ah, we have to admit we'd sort of forgotten about CrossfireX. The first-person shooter, co-developed by famous developer Remedy, launched earlier this year and was incredibly disappointing. Even more so the multiplayer, created by Smilegate, which barely functioned at launch. Well, since then the team has been steadily stabilising things, and now some new content is on its way.
Let's start things off with a look at the new map. 'Valley' is out now for the Team Deathmatch mode on CrossfireX, and it works across both the 'Classic' and 'Modern' styles of play. Here's a look at its perilous landscape:
The other core piece of new content comes in the form of the PG9 SMG, which costs 2,000 GP to unlock. This is basically the P90 SMG from various other modern shooters.
If you are still playing CrossfireX's multiplayer, the developer has also made a host of other changes to gameplay balance, the game's UI and more, along with implementing a bunch of bug fixes. For the full list, check out the dev post.
Will you be trying out this new CrossfireX map? Or had you forgotten about this one like us? Let us know!

Well … I still need to get the xx amount of wins so maybe it is worth it to start up again to see if there is improvement. The state it launched in was kind of disappointing to say the least.
But why, ryan reynolds.gif
I might see people flip out about this and how crossfire x still alive I don't know much about gamers and how they're are much bigger ***** tbh I play cfx I don't hate it just love the game
It's a pretty good game to be honest, and it's slowly getting to where it should be. The multiplayer is free so I'd recommend anyone to give it a whirl.
I want to make a very strong statement here. If this is the exclusive kinda games MSXB wants to provide us, u can keep it OK. This game is a huge failure, got shocking low reviews and after trying it for a few minutes I can confirm it's crap. Seriously XB!!!!!! Metacritic gave it 38% and IGN 2/10 omg!!!!!!!!!
@JetmanUK You cannot say this is a good game my man, seriously. Metacritic scores it 38% and IGN 2/10. maybe u like it personally, but that don't make it a good game when the majority of the reviews are so shockingly low wow???????? 🤷♂️
@Badluck737 Then explain the shockingly low review scores, some of the worst reviews I've seen in gaming in over 30yrs of playing. Metacritic 38%, IGN 2/10, these are the biggest platforms in gaming reviews. Most reviews r horrible, haven't seen a good one. And if u find one, it's not from a reputable platform to give it any ligitimacy wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Jomi1964 Come on fella, it's 2022.😋🤣
So many games release broken, buggy, with poor performance or short of features and evolve as the devs push updates and patches out. This is one of them!
It's foolish to be so influenced by Metacritic, IGN or any of the big websites, it's often very inaccurate as reviews are posted early and sometimes with a kneejerk angry reaction to a problematic release. They are often only a snapshot of the opinion of the state of a game at that time.
The multiplayer is also free to play so there's no reason to blindly take their word for it. Try it for yourself!
Most of the bad reviews of this game are from launch when it did have some game breaking bugs. They got fixed very quickly, but it was too late, lots of terrible reviews and YouTube videos. It was still very short on content, they are slowly turning the tide there too. There is still a lack of maps, but it's a fun console Counter Strike.
@JetmanUK No my man, Metacritic is the one that's the most accurate, IGN I've experienced r less consistent. Metacritic is a combination of many views in one, hence if they say it's bad it must be bad. I will admit that these reviews were provided at launch, might be interesting to see how they view it now after a while?
I was a PS gamer for many years coming from XB 360 to PS4 now to XB again, and I know the quality of PS exclusives, we all do. TLOU2, Ghost of Shushimi, and many many more awesome others, hence we don't have time for XB to provide us with such bad exclusives, I haven't experienced this at PS, and I so much want XB to beat PS's in providing better exclusives, they have money and the expertise, spend it wisely and with CFX it was an embarrassment.
@Jomi1964 Metacritic is still as prone to early reviews that as time passes would misrepresent how a game is down the line. I'd just exercise some caution in thinking it's black or white/a game is good or bad off the back of their website.
I like to make my own opinion.
As I said the multiplayer is free, have you tried it? Did you ever play Counter Strike?
The single player (own of the campaigns) is on Gamepass too so thats worth a go. It's a bit like a COD campaign. It's not bad, not the best.
@JetmanUK a this point metacritic is not worth it no more
@JetmanUK or idk man I'm not a metacritic user
@JetmanUK IGN 2/10 review as well. Give it up, u running out of excuses. It's not only Metacritic, this game atm is still very bad, but let's see what happens over time. I'm not giving it any scope atm, just like most others.
@Jomi1964 Check the date of the IGN review.....
@JetmanUK Personally I don't look at reviews to make my decision, I try it first for myself and then decide what review score is justified. But after trying this game out on gamepass, I found it to be one of the lesser games worth my while. But everyone has different taste, different økes, different strokes as they say of course.
