Counter-Strike Xbox Details

[CSN NewsBot]

From HomeLan Fed, details of the Counter-Strike port to the Xbox are starting to filter through. In the latest issue of GameInformer, the cover story reports that CSX (which is being developed by Ritual Entertainment and VALVe Software) will contain all current PC content plus a bit more exclusive content...

At least five new multiplayer levels, two new weapons (the Syringe and Machete) and some graphical improvements including 24 bit textures and better lighting and particle effects. There are also hints in the article that there might be support for user created gameplay modes in the Xbox Counter-Strike, although there were no specifics mentioned.

Very interesting news, I currently don't own a Xbox but this could change my mind. What I'd like to know from CS-Nation readers is would you consider buying an Xbox solely for the exclusive content in CSX?



Cheers to MadOnion for the head's up.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to line up to buy this one. Halo rejuvinated my faith in console shooters (007 was great, but the controls were hard to use -- Halo perfected it).

Already have an Xbox, personally can't wait for CS. Ritual are a good buch and they know what they're doing.

i will never buy an xbox for myself, but i did buy one for my little bro, so i guess i will have to buy him cs and play it for him

[Jocky]

Ironic, i used to be a huge console fan, until cs, although this most likely wont encourage me to get an xbox, but ill for sure make sure my friends who have an xbox pre oder that shit as soon as its possible... you know i get giddy every time i hear new info about cs..is that normal...dont answer that...

isnt a syringe a needle - am i to belive that the new weapon will be contaminating the enemy's blood with an aids infected needle.



I cant see how it will work on the xbox - will probably be a completely different game. I dont own an xbox or playstation 2 because they both only have one good game out for either of them - and i cant see the point in spending £200 for one game.

I would just hax0r the XBOX features into I dunno, a new mod called Console-Strike?

It's worth it...



The only thing they should perfect would be the controlling system, true there is a new plugin that will allow you to use ANY keyboard with the Xbox (just for Phantasy Star Online though).



I bought my xbox during first release and have been having problems with the dvd-rom reading movies/games ever since, so just recently I had to ship it off Microsoft and have it fixed. :\



hopefully i'll get it back soon...



ps DOA:Xtreme Beach Volleyball is the best console game EVER made.

[Mr. T]

It isn't really worth it, because the entire Xbox community will either sux because A) they don't have mlook or B) they are console whore n00bs

Someone said me that XBox is BIG....

[St4tiC]

I already have an xbox. I buy a lot of games for it. currently have a collection of about 10 (i know thats not a lot) but the fact that i havn't played any of them. I just use my xbox for dvd's and would rather play pc games with mouse and keyboard. Thats the hole crappy part about xbox. No mouse and keyboard. So I dunno. If csx came out. It had better gfx and had some very significant changes. Making the xbox version better. Then I would definatly start playing it on my xbox. But urrr wtf joypads suck :/.

btw, xbox's are now 120 pound. u get 2 games and a pad :P

[blymn]

In a word, no. I would not buy a x-box just for CS just like I did not buy one just for halo.



Even having two games I would like is not tempting - for me the PC is so much more

flexible so why would I buy a computer just to play games? (yes, my PC gets used for

things other than games.... sometimes).



Besides, I wonder how long Microsoft will keep pouring money into the x-box. It seems

nowhere near profitable and without the pumping would just disappear under the wheels of the PS2 juggernaut.

[Skinner]

This probably won't be like normal CS at all anyways. If there's a syringe it'll probably be more of a stealth game, not the shoot'em up we're used to. Maybe it'll be a good game to rent for a weekend.

[Chrisda19]

This is absolutly stupid, why the hell does an Xbox game, (when Xbox sux hard ass), get more attention then the origional mod. More info adds to the fact that Microsoft is trying to own this game. I hope they don't go on with it. Else we may be playin a Microsoft game.

[His_Jedness]

I have an Xbox myself and although Halo was brilliant cs just wouldnt work on the Xbox controller coz u cant spin around or pinpoint aim anywhere near quick enough.



Id prefer it if the just upgraded the graphics and such for the pc version
