They haven't updated since August of 2002, which makes me feel great about how active they are.



Score 1 for CS:CZ

:-D

I imagine the move to Ritual was a bit more controversial than some think it to be. We'll probably never know, though.

Yes he is!

Wasn't Ritual the company to make CS:CZ in the first place? (before Valve placed it in Gearbox's hands)

Ritual COULD be the reason for the delays.. but it could also be the reason for perhaps speeding things up in the near future? Who knows.



Still, to some of us, 1.6 is almost like CZ. The only exceptions are gas grenades, higher poly models, the player models, and the maps.. I'm looking forward to 1.6 more at the moment, then after 1.6, I'll look forward to CZ!

It was Rogue Entertainment originally as it says on the Shacknews web site.

And in fact says it right there in the news post.

Gearbox wasn't doing a good job with CZ?

Who is Ritual???



quote from Ritual's site:

The company was formed with a tribal model where all members are encouraged to lend their creative voice under the guide of senior tribe members.



Good lord... Creativity in a supposed-to-be-realistic game? A tribal model creating a game of modern counter-terrorism? Someone go wake up Gooseman and tell him to hurry up with CS2

[Eagle25]

Yay now with this new company, we can be optimistic and expect a 2109 release!
