READ THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE POSTING!!!

Hey everybody i've heard some people say crossfire is a Counter-strike rip-off and some people say that crossfire is OLDER than CS let's get some thing clear!

"On June 19, 1999, the first public beta of Counter-Strike was released."

and..

"G4Box and Wicked Interactive have announced that the open beta for "Cross Fire", an online military first-person shooter, will launch tomorrow.

"The Open beta will go live tomorrow, Friday, January 30, 2009 at 12 PM EST""

wich means CS is 10 years older than crossfire? crossfire could be a Rip-off but im not sure.. crossfire has different in-game features such as save money and buy permanent weapons buy characters level up. counter-strike has an in-game community that is every game you save up money to buy weapons but you dont have an own account to level up or to buy weapons to keep forever you just buy weapons that you use in that game. ( wich i prsonally think is BORING ) so i got some facts but CROSSFIRE IS NOT OLDER THAN COUNTER-STRIKE! i hope this CLEARS some rumors!
Facts we're taken from WIKIPEDIA and CPUGAMER credits 999 xD

Counter-Strike - Wikipedia click on history then on version history (view)

Cross Fire Open Beta Begins Tomorrow - CPUGamer: PC Gaming read there for crossfire beta release

Point Blank is a CrossFire Rip-Off. You can do everything you can do in CrossFire there .. Every Feature .. :X It's incredible.

Most FPS's are based on the idea of Counter Strike.
Counter strike is a pioneer

All games almost look alike

Crossfire cant be a rip-off, at my thinking, they are just similar games, like most war games, same/similar plot, different games, its just that lol

Crossfire is not like any other FPS game

Crossfire is a free downloadable game while Counter-Strike is pre-purchased.
