hands-on: cs:cz

[Julio Caesar]

So what your saying is that after aournd 2 years of trying to make this game, you expect them to release it to the public FOR FRE!!?? The people at VALVe are human beings too, which means they also need money like the rest of us, so why is it that we shouldn't pay them money, when we pay everyone else money for eveything else we buy? (kind of a bad analogy, but it works on some levels.)

[Kosik]

Yo, i've got a question for you , will I run Condition zero with my p2 300mhz with my crappy blaster banshee video card ( they said that it will run if you run CS normal, but i jsute wanna have your opinions pleaze!)

[r4v3N]

I've been saving up money to buy this, now that i found out, im not reallllly bummed about the player models, but no more LAW, and m60..those were the two things i was looking towards the most! i mean come on 1.6 shield is gay, CZ, I was looking foward too, How is a shield gunna stand up to a LAW or a M60, THat would have been fun but they not using the new weapons? That sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pisses me off..

[jo0ni3]

then lemme ask you this..: would you pay 30 bucks on something that is basically same thing with few slap-ons and what-nots?? I mean, come on!!! what i see right now is definitely not 2 years of work... in fact it appears to have been pulled off in a couple of months!!! I don't know about you, but most people would give no shit about this game if it's gunna be releasing like what I see as of now.

[SpOokySniper]

i seriously think they didnt do shit for the past 2 years. all they did was like.. update vac..

[Ghengis]

remeber the lek demos and shitty review they got? well doesnt anyone think, hey they tried to listen to people and make some changs? sure htere not great changes but effort has been made, so gt, nvm

[Spectra]

I don't understand why they wouldn't use the new models, because I originally thought that was part of the whole point behind Condition Zero. It doesn't make much sense. I really liked the SAS, GIGN, SEAL and Militia models that Ritual had, and the updated gun models looked pretty spiffy as well.



I also don't understand why they couldn't have just combined Ritual's work with this new version, so you'd have your semi cool single player with cool cut scenes and new weapons or whatever, and then had this other multiplayer/singleplayer hybrid deal that they have now, with updated models of course. That seems like it would have been a winner, and pleased everybody at the same time...now we just get what? Some new maps and some updated maps that half the people aren't even going to have? Seems kinda pointless to me, but i'll probably still end up getting it.

OK, lets listen to what sardiax just stated, 'if they included ritual's missions i would assume they included the ritual game content,' then rze says that some ritual missions will require special items like blow torch and such... so where did you guys all start this, they excluded ritual models, maybe its not in the challenge mode, but i'm sure its in the SP mode. And probably they would be unlockable, it makes sense to get new model rewards i.e. video in tony hawk. So lets stay calm and think rational.



PS. you are a bigger man then most KTRICK7, see captain cs fanboys are mature adults, we need not worry.ok thanks and i see your point now...i guess im just so taken back at the fact that it wasnt really talked about at all in the review, and there were no screens included. so i just assumed that they had booted it. i still fear that the sp levels will be kind of lame due to the fact that valve took it over before it was complete. plus, what did they say, like 12 missions out of the origional 20 are on there? so i kinda get a feeling it didnt go over well at all.



i never played tony hawks cuz thats not really my type of game....hmmmcs on skateboards....interesting



i guess ill just wait and see like everyone else...

[3a5tw00D]

yeah

I really wanted to be a vice lord :P

I wanna believe that there is something behind the decision to drop the guns and new models. I mean, like everyone has said, WTF! THAT WAS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT!

it would be nice if we knew WHY WHY WHY WHY this decision was made (follow-up statement?)

[jejune]

I'm disappointed about the gun models also...



Maybe we'll get a free CZ add-on package to replace the models...

[2eAzy]

:'(



One of the greatest thing about CS:CZ was the new weapon/player models. They looked very very good! Now all that's gone :'(



Otherwise the single player sounded MUCH MUCH MUCH better and I really liked that they added the Xbox map graphic

[XTRMNTR]

Hey guys, how quickly you forget...



Gameplay > graphics



Would you play the game if it totally sucked and the Bot AI was dumb as hell? Even though the game looked nice?



I mean, it'd be nice if they at least had the new player models and more high poly weapon models... but ah well. You take what you can get right? Let's hope they made CS:CZ cheap then for making us wait this long.

[Jord@n]

God i don't want to use the same old shitty cs 1.6 weapon skins and player models, that was the one thing i liked about ritual, now it seems that cs-x will get them, that sucks so much, im not paying for the same old 1.6 with better looking maps and tony hawk game play choices.

[c0rvette]

Wow lotta mixed comments but any way kinda ghetto that there arnt new models/guns. I wanna know why the old screenshots have diff models in them than the latest ones.

P.S Should I dl off kazaa or not?
