A Crossfire client is required for logging in and playing on a Crossfire Server - whether it's a localhost server (running on your computer), or a server on your Local Area Network (LAN) or one of the many public servers that are available. All clients provide a map view, console and interface to move and interact in the crossfire world. Choosing a client comes down to preference and operating system of choice.
