CZ in Q3?

[CSN NewsBot]

FLeK0 noticed that Vivendi has posted a Q3 2003 release date for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. The date was given in recent press release about their upcoming Universal Games Faire in Germany. Of course nobody actually knows when VALVe will call CS:CZ ready to ship, but it is interesting that Vivendi is publicly going with the third quarter of the year.

[-AK-]

[alex`]

[Unregistered]

Yay. Maybe something well get released!!



TF2 dissapeared in the twilight zone . . 0o

Q3 means as early as July, through September. Seeing as how the most recently stated target gold date for CZ is May, it would have been probably June at the earliest for CZ to hit all the shelves anyway. So it's potentially not much of a delay at all.

Stop talking about TF2 people, you will get banned! Anyway, Valve said a year ago that they looked forward to showing off the game "in the coming months" and that they were "getting really close" to the point in development when they can do this.

[TeMPeR]

The amount of development time this game has recived it better be pretty damn impressive.



yea right.

[David Johnston]

I imagine Vivendi are starting to get a little impatient with the delays, which is understandable - they'll probably make the most money out of CZ.



(As for TF2, well, whether it's been in development for 4 days, years or decades I don't care, just as long as it's good and fun - isn't that what we all want?! [don't answer that])

[Morganati]

has anyone noticed that the shotgun is the in almost every single new CS:CZ screenshot?

[orphy]

Maybe they're suggesting we should use it... bastards.



I doubt it'll be out by then though. I say it will be delayed again til 2004.

Like I said in the models thread yesterday, this is taking far too long. Doom 3 gets announced last year, and it will be ready to play by the end of this year. Ritual and Gearbox are/have been working on a game with a 5 year old engine (not even counting the time before HL when it was the quake engine) and we still get delays. It's pretty obvious to me that the game is going down the pan yet again, and I'm off to cancel my pre order yet again :/



Valve/Vivendi/Ritual/Whoever......get a grip or ship out tbh.....

[-:Nighthawk:-]

Just ignore the hype, and don't worry about CS:CZ. If and when it does show up, then we can get all excited about playing it. But until then, it's not like the world is ending just because you can't yet play a game that you've never actually seen.
