Despite the fact that this is a debate forum and you've just gone and posted a 1 liner (forbidden in the Crossfire Rules thread at the top, see #3), you are correct but also incorrect at the same time.
Crossfire is most commonly found in a phrase used by soldiers/warriors: Catch them in the crossfire. Basically amounts to soldiers shooting at a single target from multiple angles, preventing them from being able to pick one particular direction and escape through it.
Conversely, Crossfire is either a board game by Milton Bradley invented in 1971, or the miniatures tabletop game developed and made in 1996, or it might be the free open-source MMORPG started in the middle of 1992, OR it might be Sid Meiers Alien Crossfire, the addon to Alpha Centauri, or it could be Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire, one of the ps3 launch titles, or it might be the old Apple II game, or it might STILL be yet ANOTHER pc game, this one just called CrossFire but released in the USA january 30th 2009.
Freaky; those are all games. I haven't even dipped into stuff like Boba Fett: Crossfire, ATI Crossfire, the Chrystler Crossfire, the band, the film from 1947, the song, or the comics, OR the UK TV/Reality show XFire(pronounced Crossfire).
And because I only recognized 1 of these and got the rest from wiki, here's the Disambiguation Wiki page with sublinks to almost all the other references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfire_(disambiguation)
I'd say we should turn this into a debate about which meaning was intended, but I'm thinking it should be fairly obvious that the X10-intended meaning isn't a game, book, movie, band, song, or anything -but- the military definition, since the general idea of a debate is to attack one issue from multiple sides.
