Counter-Strike - Condition Zero Finally Released

Posted by simoniker on from the cause-for-relief dept.

daitengu writes "After almost a year and a half of 'It'll be out soon', Valve Software has finally released Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. It is available on Steam for the low-low price of $29.95 or, rumor has it, you'll be able to buy it in stores today or tomorrow. Counter-Strike is the world's most popular online First Person shooter, and Condition Zero brings updated maps, skins, and graphics to the game, as well as a single-player mode. It also brings what some reviews have claimed as one of the best AI they've seen." The submitter continues: "If this game was released 9 months to a year ago like Valve was promising, I may have invested the $30 or $40 to buy it. Now, however, It's just not worth it to me." Does CS:CZ pique your interest at all?

    CS is available free if one owns HL. so assuming you originally bought HL (and not the retail CS), then you should be able to play either no problem...

    as for the original question of whether we have any interest in CS:CZ, I have none. Day of Defeat is my HL mod du jour. and for those "realistic" moments, I am messing around with America's Army.

    Seeing as it's going to be another year before HalfLife 2 is released, and CounterStrike is now pretty much broken (post the 1.6 patch) it's probably worth the money.

  4. So where's TF2, then? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most of the things that TeamFortress 2 was supposed to do have already been done by mods and by other commercial games (BF1942, UT2003/2004, etc). Where the heck is TF2?
