Some old timers around here might remember 'Tides' as pictured in one of those screenshots. I'm so so happy it's finally going to be released!

I don't remember it...

[Equalizer!]

Tides is a map right?

[Mr-Shag]

Yes

I will buy this, although I must say I am a little dissapointed in the fact that they story driven aspect has been taken out. The main purpose behind a single player game was for single player..now it really just seems like a "graphically updated" CSM with bots. It's unfortunate that the game appears to consist of CS 1.6 versus bots, in new and updated maps.



Oh well, when it reaches the shelves and I get it installed I am sure my initial opinion will change.

[im_housing]

same game. whatever.

personally i am shocked at this information. frankly i dont care how much time or money they spent making cz, if there isnt enough content, dont release it. a ghimicky sp involving objectives like "kill somone with a five-seven" and updated maps is not enough to make me fork out 40 (possible 50) cdn dollars. you know what it sounds more like? cs 1.7. which should be offered free through steam. as far as i can tell thats all it is. bots that simulate humans better than most, troding through well known (or possibly a few new) mp maps. thats not sp. thats training mode.



im not going to get much into the high definition stuff because it didnt work apparently. it looked fantastic. and asthetically would have breathed some new life into the aging and (in some cases) ugly models (fun fact: most of the p_models are from beta 3 and earlier. the m4a1 carbine still has a scope on it!). but i do have one question: how long was it before the dev said the models didnt work? did they even try to make them work? hell new models with old animations would have thrilled me.



overall my thoughts are a little muddled. and unless cs cz is anything more than what i understand, there is no way in hell ill be playing 40/50 dollars for cs 1.7.



edit: its also quite shocking that most advertisments are still showing the new models and such. like in my november issue of pc gamer ;\

Had anyone of you actually played Rituals CS:CZ, you'd realise this is probably for the better.



And if you're too fucking obsessed about the game models, go play something else.

Hah, because people who have it are actually going to admit to it here on csnation.

why doesnt valve:



use the current V models to implement the P and W models? they are still gooseman's originals (bar galil, famas, shield) so originality is kept. but the V models look so much nicer than the VERY low poly W and P models.



its a simple, yet effective idea, and just takes 30 secs of file copying on valve's part and its done! a lot of player are instantly happier.
