"Should i reboot this map or something in the future? perhaps with better optimization and fixes?"

Said i was 3 years ago. After thinking over this for 3 years (obviously i didn't, i'm just exaggerating) i have not just optimized the map but reimagined the whole remake!

Context? Yeah sure, this is the improved and so much better version of the Crossfire remake i did back in 2018*

Q: But mister X-ray didn't you said you won't work on this map anymore?

A: Wait, did i said something like that? checks it oh yeah i did, on my YouTube video. Well... after years passed and my remake that i called "masterpiece" in my head looked so terribly when i revisited that*

Therefore i decided to take the matters into my hand and actually reboot this amazing remake.

Q: Why didn't you do it sooner?

A: Well first of all i didn't feel like doing it. Second, at that time i was just getting started to hone my mapping skills.

Q: Did you bring airstrike back???

A: Read the patchnotes and play the map

Patchnotes:

• Removed unneccessarry details and vents.
• Optimized bad geometries
• Reimagined lot of areas
• Removed the "Broken Building" and made it Under Construction instead
• Reimagined Secret Room
• Retextured some areas
• Better placement for some of the Weapons/Armors/Healthkits
• (Almost?) Fixed all geometries that caused bad performance
• Died in 2018 Reborn in 2024, Welcome back Airstrike (Or you can still leave it dead if you wanna install No-Airstrike version!)
• Added the "cut" alarm lights feature from old remake
• Added also another "cut" feature, you will know it when you play the map and see it

Secret Room Changes (You gonna love them!):

• Better hint placement for Secret Room Keypad Code
• Added another hint for Final Secret Room Puzzle
• Fixed Secret Room Keypad (You can no longer random it to enter!)
• Added a XEN healing pool to secret room
• Added alternative exit for secret room
• Added Sniper window to the secret room
• Changed the way you get back to map if you use the default exit teleporter

There might be some changes that i forgot to mention here, you can compare it with old map as you like.

I haven't changed the secret room passwords so if you wanna know it from quicker way just watch my video on YouTube

To activate the airstrike, simply break the "sorry for disabling the airstrike" board.

Now you must be thinking: "B-But i liked when there was no airstrike!"

Don't worry, i gotchu! There are 2 versions of the map, one with airstrike and the other without airstrike. If you are an server owner, don't worry people will still be able to play both versions regardless of which version you host.

There are also Anti-Egon versions of the map included (although i hide Egon to a place you would find it by accident or by examinating the map (like decompiling or bsp viewing) or something like that)

Also To Server Owners: Please do not host Crossfire_Redux as it's very outdated and most of the older computers struggling to run it because of garbage optimization.

Warning: There is a slight Self-Gauss problem in the map, recommended using Anti Self-Gauss plugin.

Hope you all love this version more! (i certainly do btw) Enjoy!
