Since attackers are only armed with knives that does make things potentially interesting, although the experience at the moment is mostly of people wandering around with no clue as to what’s going on – while the few that do understand slaughter the rest with little opposition. The other map for Classic mode has a different set of rules (which are never properly explained) that revolve around the attackers having invisibility cloaks that are more effective the less you move. That does allow for an unusual amount of flexibility, with the ability to adjust quickly to whatever the other team is doing, but also tends to see both sides constantly trying to one-up each other, reacting to what they did last time and rarely just picking a plan and running with it. Unlike Counter-Strike, you don’t have to worry about earning money between rounds, you just pick a new loadout whenever you want and get on with it.

There’s no aiming down sights in Classic mode and you can’t run or respawn, which, depending on how you want to take it, creates an unusually focused and fast-paced experience or one with absolutely no depth or nuance, where you’re constantly being killed by people you never saw and had almost no chance of countering. But we can imagine some people being drawn in by its extreme simplicity. Not that CrossfireX is a clone exactly, even if the main goal of one of Classic mode’s two maps – to defuse or defend a bomb – is a brazenly obvious copy of Valve’s game.

Its style of short-range, highly skilled, team-based action has never caught on, in part because of the limitations of joypad controllers but also the lack of mods and integration into the pre-existing PC community. One obvious problem with CrossfireX, before it even starts, is that Counter-Strike itself has never been able to find any success on consoles, despite the best efforts of Microsoft since the very early days of the original Xbox. Unfortunately though, that’s not part of the beta.

Although apparently a movie is on the way, developer Smilegate has recognised that the game’s lack of compelling single-player content would be a problem in the West and so has made the very sensible decision to get Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy on board to make a new campaign mode just for CrossfireX. CrossfireX has various modes and variations but the basics involve two mercenary groups called Black List and Global Risk. 2007 was a long time ago now, but even then Counter-Strike was seven years old and well established as a grandee of the nascent multiplayer scene.
