CrossfireX launched last month in a bit of a sorry state, to the point the game’s producer admitted they’d “betrayed the trust” of players (Wccftech’s review definitely wasn’t glowing). While it will probably take a lot of updates to get CrossfireX to the place it should be, co-developer Smilegate has released the game’s first big patch, which includes adjustments to shooting sensitivity and aim assist, as well as some much-needed multiplayer content, including a couple of new maps and three weapons. Here are your notes for the new CrossfireX update:
