Counter-Strike: Condition Zero
Bound to be popular, we reckon...
Almost everybody reading this will have played Counter Strike – it remains to this day one of the world’s most popular online games, and the most popular action one. The CS heady mix of tactical and arcade style gameplay hit that magic sweet spot inside our picky connoisseur-gaming brains, and all who played it were satisfied. So, ok, the graphics are a bit drab by today’s standards, but that doesn’t matter when the gameplay is as sharp and as balanced as this, right? And single player? There’s a hundred AI bot downloads out there, so there’s your damn single player covered. Ok? Erm, well, no actually….
CS is a great game in its pure form – multiplayer action the way it’s meant to be. Unfortunately, many decided that this was indeed not the way to be, and aim bots and speed hacks became ingrained in the fabric of your Counter Strike experience. It is extremely common for any winner of a CS game to be accused of cheating, and no matter how many patches Valve introduce, the hacks keep reappearing. And those AI bots? Any man who faces the corner while being shot repeatedly in the back and legs is a dubious choice for the S.A.S. Lets leave those bots out of this.
Now part of Valve’s problem here is that CS was originally free – it’s Mod status has meant that it has been extremely easy to hack, and just as difficult to patch. So it becomes a gaming arms race, one that the developers are slowly losing. But they have one last nuke left to launch, the ace up their sleeve. They’re going to wipe the slate clean, so to speak.
Aiming to kill two birds with one stone – namely enjoyable single player and unhacked multiplayer – Valve decided in early 2001 to start development on a new version. The game had a troubled beginning. Originally being developed by Rogue, Valve took over the project themselves around May 2001, before finally settling on old friends Gearbox a couple of months later. Since then development has been running more smoothly. So what does it all entail, I hear you ask? Or, get on with it, others might say. Ok….

Great article jsut one slight error. The Half-Life engine is a very modified version of the Quake 1 engine not the Quake 2 engine. Otherwise great!
some of the current bots aren't half bad you know, like joebot and podbot (currently the best imho and whose author is currently doing the AI for CS:CZ)
My fear of CS: Condition Zero is like that of what happened to Tribes 2... a great game needs a great sequel... and sometimes it just doesn't cut it. Why play something new when the old version is... well, just more fun? i don't know ifother people have that opinion, but that is my fear for CS: Condition Zero... everyone goes out and buys it b/c it has CS on it, then after a day or a week or a month goes back and tries 'the old cs' and says "hey this is a lot more fun..." Also: no really increadibly new and cool graphics is a disapointment... not that big a deal tho, as long as the game play kicks butt, which i hope desperately it will.
To the best of my knowledge, Valve combined the engines for Quake 1 and 2, and added code of their own, making a hybrid engine that in performance terms was closest to Quake 2, though superior in some departments. In terms of designing levels for the engine, Quake 2 was also the closest match.<br>As for the AI bots - very true, I was very impressed by some - but designing AI routines for Mods is never ideal. The new game, with the talent of the bot designers on board, is the best solution, and we'll all be reaping the rewards in a few months...
what are the minimal requierements of hardware i will need to play CZ ??
Well... the idéa is good and the game it selves looks good. But... why is there such of a problem to really make VR better. For exampel...grass, grass growns, shouldn´t your accually then be able to se this? And if you step in it, should that make footprins? It´s this kind of AI we need in games these days. I´am convinsed that the graphic itself are just find, but how about the reality of the game.. I mean....if you just for fun thought it would be funny to shoot a tree down and starts to blast of on it... it would most likly become damage... My point is... imbured the game with "natural" AI.
I just can't wait for CS:CZ. I just loved tohe original<br>multiplayer CS and I think I'll like the single player <br>every bit as much and maybe even more!
cool pics!
I think this is all crazy..i mean u guys take a simple fun game and add all this crap to it..well i mean u have to keep it simple.. thats why we have these hack blockers...if u intall those onto all the servers BAM problem solved..but i would like to see this new contition zero game..Looks fun..i mean the first one was
the half life engin laggs like crazy so if the 56ker was to play he might OVERFLOW
