CrossFire has made its mark in the domestic shooter market as a whole, although it wasn't very popular at first. It's amazing how long the game has been able to run for so long. However, it is known that the Crossfire suspension will happen sooner or later. It all starts with the LithTech engine it uses. The engine was stopped seven or eight years ago, which meant that it was difficult for CrossFire to make too many technical improvements. Improving image quality is almost difficult, as engine technology has come to a standstill.
Tencent also seems to have lost significant investment interest in CrossFire, most likely because there are already more shooters on the market that are doing well, especially CFHD. While other shooters are more profitable for developers, CrossFire is mediocre. Therefore, Tencent may not put much energy into redeveloping Crossfire in the future.
Overall, CrossFire uses an outdated LithTech engine that has been out of update for seven or eight years. This makes it extremely difficult to improve image quality. Tencent may also fade out of its major development plans for CrossFire, as other, more engaging and cost-effective shooters are booming in the market. The future of CrossFire may only be a matter of time, and there is not much predictability.
