“CrossfireX adds a campaign into the mix, built by renown Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment. However, that’s not what we’re here to talk about. We’re going to talk about the core gameplay mode: online multiplayer.“
There’s no defending this turd. It’s surrounded by negativity for a reason. I couldn’t play the game more than 10 minutes before deleting it. It’s just not fun to play and the controls feel awful.
the controls are aweful, movement if floaty at best, menu ui system is broken, thumbsticks dont work in menu, left trigger doesnt work 80% of the time, gunplay is just off completly even after adjusting the limited options available, the campaign feel like a on rails game and the MP on xbox one x was downgraded., looks good on series x/s and hits 120 fps though
C'mon it is on Gamepass .. it cannot be that bad ... and is freeeeeee!!!! LOL another xbox exclusive that goes down in flames. So much for MS trying to offer something aside the usual multiplat stuff.
The MP is terrible but the campaign is a lot of fun. It’s a shame they didn’t put campaign on game pass, it would have really alleviated a lot of the negativity i feel.
It's actually not as bad as it's being made out to be. It plays much better under performance mode and they have slider settings for a reason. Turn down the sensitivity and the game is completely different & much better. If you really want to play & enjoy the game you have to find your settings. Let's not forget this is a PC game ported into a console game so there will be work involved.
I'm not understanding the giant hate train for the game. It's far from perfect; some of the buffs need balancing in modern mode, and there's a definite need for more maps. But there's fun to he had especially if you enjoy games like CSGO.
Haven't tried the campaign, but many people boil it down to your typical CoD campaign, but with that weird Remedy touch that makes their games stand out. I don't know. I just know I've been having fun with it.
Theres only 5 maps and they are each tied to a particular game mode. Meaning Team Deathmatch is only available on one map, Spectre game node is only available on one map, Search and Destroy is only available on one map, etc.
Theres an ability in game to earn points that you can spend to become a "reaper". This character carries dual weapons with a huge shot spread, has insanely high health that regenerates very quickly. This can make him near invincible at times like in the point capture mode where he can bottleneck entire teams in their spawn and make the match completely lost.
Frame rate is atrocious, sprinting team mates look like they are stuttering a few frames per second.
Classic mode doesn't have aim down sights so bullet spread is madness, which is fine if everyone is on the same playing field but there's another purchasable perk in a mini gun that most don't seem to realise but when someone does get it, that becomes a runaway lead.
Modern mode does allow for aim down sites but it is beyond broken. Hold the trigger to ADS and it will pull you in and out of scope becoming a worse choice to aim.
Days after launch the error that prevents gamepass users from downloading campaign mode still hasn't been fixed.
All this and that's no mention of how the gunplay just feels awful to play.
The game is a disaster and there's no chance they are going to resolve it. The foundations aren't there
Worst of all there is a huge microtransactions market available and working unlike the basics of the game but you know... they gotta make sure that bit works fine.
I did play the beta and the beta was trash in comparison. Don't really get the hate for this game. I play it in performance mode with some adjustments to sensitivity & it plays fine & I actually dig it. It's far from a great game and it needs more meat & potatoes but IGN rating it a 2/10 is taking the piss. Give me a break.
After 3 days MS & the developers still have not unlocked the campaign Operation Catalyst. Had I been able to try the campaign & I enjoyed it I would have bought the other half of the campaign titled Spectre. This seems very Shady..like switch & bait.
The remedy single player components may be the only thing of value to find here. Two campaigns from the perspective of the opposing forces is kind of cool it worked for tlou2 I guess.
The multiplayer is a repackage of the 2007 free to play game crossfire which has a huge following in Asia markets especially China. It features heavily unimaginative mtx and doesn't even use the same engine as the single player campaigns built by remedy.
I think touting the single player mode as a gamepass addition but then only having it as one half of the campaign to sell the 2nd half is all sorts of dodgy.
Although to this point in time they haven't even given the supposed free gamepass access yet either
Whatever people says im enjoying the game with my friends and its free 2 play... Its buggy but it got me back to cs 1.6 days laughing and trolling poeple in a tactical game... They need to fix the bugs and add maps to the game +ranked
The person who made this piece has no idea how the console version feels and controls like a turd. The game itself is okay and gameplay is thight....in PC where it originally was made for. This console version was made just to reach the western cod audience and those suckers still botched it.
Have you tried playing this game? Shooting in this game is like being on a boat in the middle of the ocean on a stormy day and trying to put a thread through a needle while blind folded and standing on one leg.

Kinda sad they botched this game, the trailer looked cool despite ripping off Crysis.
No it’s not as bad it’s worse.
Nobody is defending the game it's so bad. Only journalists are trying to spin it.
