Publisher and distributor G4BOX is calling Cross Fire a record-setting military shooter, set to hit North America and the United Kingdom in fall 2008.

During its 2007 launch in Korea by Neowiz, additional servers had to be added within an hour of going live due to overwhelming traffic. In March 2008, within three days of open beta in Vietnam, Cross Fire hit a personal milestone with over one million total subscribers.

Howard He, Chief Executive Officer of G4BOX is eager to show off their FPS, commenting on its popularity and awaiting fanbase:

"We have been bombarded with people wanting a sneak peek at Cross Fire before it comes out this fall so we are excited to release the first screen shots and details for the game. Cross Fire is an innovative and compelling FPS and we have no doubt it will be a huge hit when it hits the market. But in the meantime people can whet their appetite with these first images."

Cross Fire is currently being developed by Smilegate for PC, boasting "fast and stable multiplayer action and graphics" with its "sophistocated game engine" that'll allow it to run on low-end PCs, ensuring no gamer gets left behind.

The underlying story is a familiar one, revolving around two international mercenary corporations at war. Players will side with either the Black Risk mercenaries or the Global Risk terrorists and go head to head in online matches with various modes of play, including Team Death Match, Exploder Match, Elimination Match, and Ghost Match.

As players progress, they can earn experience points and achievements that will advance their character up the ranks. Other key features are as follows:

• • An all-new match-type called "Ghost Mode" where Mercenaries play versus an invisible assailant
  • Powerful and widely varying weapons
  • Customizable in-game characters that can carry different equipment and weapons
  • Duffle bag system that allows players to carry more weapons
  • Runs on very low system requirements

It's a brief list, but it's all G4BOX is willing to reveal right now. Until then, enjoy the pretty pictures.
