G4BOX Inc and Wicked Interactive announce plans to launch open beta testing of Cross Fire tomorrow at Noon eastern time, offering all comers the chance to check out this subscription- and download-free first-person shooter firsthand. The open beta will also mark the launch of the game's persistent military-ranking and stat-tracking, in-game friends lists, clan formation features, new maps, new weapons, and new items. Word is: "To celebrate Cross Fire's open beta launch, Subagames is hosting a number of events and promotions. During the first week of open beta, players will enjoy a 50% increase in the amount of GP earned in-game. This will allow Cross Fire players to purchase more of the new open beta weapons and items. In addition, the first 30 clans to register during the open beta will do so for free, at absolutely no GP cost!" In preparation for the open beta, the closed beta test will conclude at Noon eastern time today.
