crossfire 2.0

Easy ...

they are already finishing it

and

it will be done, ... when its done

If everything goes right, before summer

Almost done. Hold your horses

we have 0 interest in star citizen actually

Truer word were never spoken - or written!

Let's just wait for the release in silence from now on

Wait in silence ? Impossibru !

Some will, others won't, it's a matter of choice and understanding

Well...we all know your opinions on Star Citizen end Chris.. which is fine. But here is the thing do...
I,m not sure u guys understand how many eyes are watching your progress in SC community. Believe it or not there is a loth of people planing to play your MOD
Spatially MP....Also ...Space community is big end is not evolve around just freelancer but every Space sim. out there. People talk. People share end guess what...
A great game is not just pretty Graphics or nice ships... is also great attitude end atmosphere providing people with good fun ..cause the end of the day... if you provide that you will have not 11 people average..but a lot more..
so ... can we just be positive end have fun ?...

Is it possible to start the crossfire campaign from an original saved game, or is it necessary to replay the whole campaign to reach the crossfire missions?

necessary to replay the last mission in order to trigger the CF extension

it can be started from a vanilla savegame but i would not be willing to guarantee that everything works as intended

and about the star citizen topic i just want to say the following:
I am currently absolutely not interested in that game. I am not willing to jump on that hype-train and i personally have my doubts about the entire game project and the way it is done.
However, i am aware that people are waiting for both, Crossfire and Star Citizen.
IF that game is going to be released, playable and successful I am even willing to re-think my position towards this game and would even allow a SWAT game section if the members want that.
But until that point (which is pretty much when it will be released)I dont want to waste my valueable time with that hype. It only costs time, work and valueable resources which could be used elsewhere.

Great attitude = Great community

Thx for the respond OP.. it means a lot to many
Now ....lets finish the mod...cant wait to start play it...speaking of which... i send u a PM with a little surprise..
Unfortunately they dont have SUR end no Hard points but i,m sure that wont be a problem for you guys...if you like them Ofc.

Thx again

Star Citizen is a two edged blade as it stands now. Roberts did some amazing games in the past and takes credits for providing help in the development of some other great games (like Freelancer itself) but there were as well some more or less catastrophic projects. I'm still curious though as modern technology applied in the right way could massively improve gameplay on space sims. But you're right, OP. The way it's been hyped over the last months is mildly said: concerning. Normally such a hype means the game will either be a total failure, bugged beyond measure and completely unfinished on release or it will be candidate for game of the year. At least that applies to AAA games backed by large publishers like EA, Ubisoft and co. but there has never been an independent kickstarterproject hyped to this degree so there is basically no way to indicate which way Star Citizen will take.
Either way, even if it comes in an unfinished state it will be a massive competitor to CF as there are not many comparable games still played and still functioning on modern systems and I do believe, from the way Star Citizen has been showcased so far, that it will be comparable to CF in terms of online gameplay and there are a lot of people out here hungering for fancy graphics and propper physics even if it's not needed to make a good space sim. That's not a bad thing in general as, if we are all honest, the genre badly needs more attention and the way this attention is gained these days is through fancy graphics, pathetic as it may be. And the reason why attention is so important is simple - even a great game like CF is no fun to play if there is none around to play with because nobody knows of it's existance.
I myself came here simply because Star Citizen made me hot again for space sims, so I did some reseach about what is available right now and eventually found this. And if Star Citizen happens to be successfull in the end and in a playable state unlike X -Rebirth for example it eventually will gain even more attention and as Freelancer is highly related to Chris Roberts and discussed in Star Citizen Forums more people will know about Crossfire as it is sure to mentioned as high quality mod or even unofficial addon to FL.
And if it happens to be unsuccessfull diasappointed people might start looking for alternatives out of frustration and eventually end up here.
Either way, keep up the great work as I do believe more and more people will start playing CF simply because the genre gets a lot more attention then during the last 5 years or so. And all because of Star Citizen (for good or bad we don't know yet ^^). CF needs more playes and it truly deserves more attention.

There is one word for that....Advertisement

You can make the best game ever..but if no one knows about it ..it dont make any difference.
Is Star Citizen going to fail ?...that is remain to be seen...but sure they know how to get peoples attention
Truly SF is the best mod there is ..but out side of MODDB no one is heard of it . Trust me i play a lot of games..spatially MMOs end honestly there are not many
that even heard of Freelancer not to mention Crossfire.
BUT...OP...There is 300000+ people in SC that are super hip to play Space sim atm...end there is a nice section for FL end MODs on there forums....so a nice little video of CF2.0 can fill your sever in no time...just saing

I dont have time for that.
