CS: CZ I'views

I'm sick of the way that people think that because a game is progressing that at each twist and turn they can have their say. Calsonic and blarg are two examples. Although the US is the "land of the free", and the land of free speech, keep in mind that this also means you can think before you type. Or read:

Randy Pitchford: In multiplayer, Condition Zero IS Counter-Strike. It therefore isn't trying to be distinctive from it, it's trying to add to it and improve it. Counter-Strike is the definitive multiplayer tactical action game. It's the most popular on-line action game of all time. We've spent our time in improving that experience, but mostly, we've spent our effort making the single-player game great.

What else is this development but a money making spin on the most popular multiplayer computer game of all time? Realise that naturally the opportunity is there for Valve to make some mulah ($$$).



Reviews as xep stated are probably going to cover the same topic areas, as the game delay has been set for around christmas (duh). This could be due to the need for development of the game or any other reason however I believe that this is mainly a marketing tactic.

The reviews are very cheap and effective marketing tools also, as they are readily available to the target consumer (you) and cost very little.

Valve is out to get money which is why you dont have to buy CZ to get all of its multiplayer additions. Valve is so bad and stupid and i r 1337.

True, you could just update your CS, but if you buy CZ you are supposed to get special features like upgraded graphics, new maps, new textures, yadda da shwa. I'll probably buy it just to waste money, I'm not expecting much from it though.

I wish they would focus more on the multi-player than the single player. I cant waste my time playing around with a bunch of bots when I'm suppose to be getting good at cs.

I can garantee you that the A.I. of these bots will be alot better then the intelligence of the average CS public server player.. LOL!

[pagboy402]

[Some1_Call_911]

Prowler pwnz j00. If you don't think so you get a interview with Randy on tape :P

[Spike Spiegel]

Darkhorse I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read your post.

when playing that american army game i thought 'wow, this is what cs:cz will be like, but with worse gfx, better netcode, easier to connect to and with 30 other weapons.



then i thought, OMFG CS:CZ IS GNA SUCK LMFAO

[Lt.frost]

Uh...I can't really see CS single player...It'd be so crazy. I don't know what else to say. CS is already pretty complete to me. I can't see many things added on. The AI better be good too.



BTW: This is the first time I've posted in a year. The only person I remember is -James Bond-. HI

[Darkhorse]

heheh :)

It's troo, Spike.

OK i just read about CZ and it looks pretty crazy. Longer than HFLF+OP4CE+BLUSHFT sounds pleasing. 40 missions is cool. But I do hope it's not just assaulting missions, kill every terrorist, plant the bomb, rescue hostages...there should be defending maps too. Defending is fun. But camping sucks. Theres a difference. And another thing, I'm not spending 40$ on what's practically a mission pack of CS fooling with bots. I mean, still make it the same CS but don't turn it into a Rainbow 6 Bore-a-thon. What is good about SP games is constant action. That's why I didn't like HL a lot. You'd fight 1 head crab. Go through like 47 vents then come across 3 grunts. Go thru another 75 million vents and so on. Vents are cool, but HL overdid it. And you know what is really cool? Cinematics. Plus Multiplayer should have a lot more options. Like N64's Goldeneye had Flag Tag, License to Kill and so on. Plus imagine Deathmatch CS...Unlimited money. Crazy Mad. Or maybe killing someone gives 2000$ and when you die the Buy Menu comes up...you select what you want, click OK, then you respawn. You know what else REALLY bugs me about CS? The grenade un-realism. The explosions cut through walls, and the grenades still don't do enough damage. I through a grenade right below me, no armor, it exploded between my feet, bringing me down to 5 health. Come on. It's a grenade. And if you are going to increase the damage of grenades, make them more xpensive too. Like other games that have come out in the past that I was excited are coming out, but CS:CZ I'm not particularly excited. Tell me more. Who reads this anyway? No one is going to read this. Oh well. I'm bored and need to pass the time. OK...if you are going to make this, make sure that a lot of people are online. I mean it'd be really stupid to buy this game if all you play is multiplayer, and then no one is on. And in SP it should put you in many positions. Sniper, Gunman, Demolitions...you know, each with their own weapons. Like Ghost Recon, but much more action and firefights should be long. Build this game without the flaws of other games. Learn from teh mistakes of other games. Blah Blah Blah.
