Call it a shanzai Counterstrike if you will, but CrossFire (or 穿越火线, chuanyue huoxian), developed by Korean game company Smile Gate, licensed by another Korean company called NeoWiz, and published in China by Tencent on QQ Games, has a huge following here in China. The game has ranked and continues to rank in the top three online games in China pretty much since its release, at least as ranked by Xunlei, the wildly popular download accelerator. Xunlei ranks by the number of game clients downloaded; weighing in at 103 megs, this one’s a hefty download. It’s a massively multiplayer version of CS, which allows up to 800,000 people playing simultaneously.
