CS: CZ Delayed

[[TuF]SpeeeD]

No matter what Valve does people are always bitching and moaning. If they don't release CZ soon enough everyone gets mad. If they release it early and it is full of bugs, everyone gets mad.



Keep in mind, the longer they work on the game, the better the final product will be.

[Moloch]

Wrong, my friend.



Because it they wait, game engines will evolve, and they will have to restart all coding from crap.

Furthermore, if they still release the game based on a old engine, it will be obsolete in about a week.

[Shadows]

Lets face it they will have to build it all on a completely new game enginee, just look at SOF2 and AA, not to mention the upcomming UT2003 and DOOM III.



Forget it by the time it comes out it will allready be old...



Its time to move on..

[Bluntman&Chronic]

I'm sure Jean-Marie Messier was behind this delay, that french bastard!

[garry]

lets face it though, people have been saying how old the half-life engine is ever since q3 came out.. (or even UT)



yeah it looks shit compared to other engines, but as far as im concerned its got the best netcode, the best support, the best value for money and the stats say everything..



Half Life

21488 servers, 62077 players



Medal of Honor Allied Assault

1139 servers, 3379 players



Quake 3: Arena

2803 servers, 2882 players



Unreal Tournament

3243 servers, 2214 players



Return to Castle Wolfenstein

1067 servers, 1899 players



Soldier of Fortune 2

525 servers, 1426 players



Neverwinter Nights

1074 servers, 894 players



Army Game

242 servers, 851 players



Tribes 2

561 servers, 816 players



Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

609 servers, 727 players



I would put this down to a number of factors :



the age of the engine

The engine is old, therefore it takes less to run the game.. and mod authors know exactly what theyre doing



variety

The amount of MOD's. Yeah the majority of people are playing CS, but there is a HUGE range of mods to choose from. This is obviously due to the age of the engine.



so in summary, valve is doing something right.. and until another engine comes out with great multiplayer support and easy enough to mod we will make do with this shit game engine.

I think your forgetting that an engine makes the game. Have fun trying to play CZ if it was made with the Doom II "engine"

I know this has been addressed before, but what an utterly stupid ass comment.



The best SP game I've ever played was running on the Lithtech engine, which isn't really a favorite amongst gamers. It looked pretty good, but it wasn't anything stunning. What made No One Lives Forever was the absolutely amazing gameplay.



I doubt CS: CZ will hold a candle that NOLF, but I think the concept is cool and original. I'm angry at the delay, but Gearbox knows that I, and most other CZ fans, will purchase it anyway.

[Stylez]

NOLF Rulez!! i mean its quality game...yea

[gluestick]

half life might be old but its carved its niche

[narby]

Niche? More like an underground lair.

I'm sure you spoilt little kids can scream at your mothers to make you your dinner whenever you want but Gearbox doesn't work for you and they don't owe you anything.

[Eagle25]
