Mike Booth Interview

[CSN NewsBot]

www.1up.com has an interview with Turtle Rock Studios' Mike Booth. Turtle Rock are the studio responsible for the current iteration of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, and this article by CGW's Ken Brown gives us some new insight into this upcoming game.

Mike Booth: A bot only knows what a human player would in the same situation. The bots don't magically transmit information to each other, or "cheat" and know impossible things.

There's a lot of stuff on bots, but a few other snippets of general info can be found in the article.

Did You Know?

People actually die while playing Counter-Strike. In wacky foreign lands it's not totally uncommon for enamored teenagers to starve to death in front of their copies of CS. Now that's a game with some serious mass appeal.



/me looks around nervously.

Very nice article. I can't wait for the bots.

[Simplex]

New militia? As a self-proclaimed AWP-whore, I can't wait!

What?! No new plasma gun in counterstrike!? LOL

[jumbo shrimp]

LOL..he completely dodged the Are there any new models? question.. he allready ANSWERED that the maps had been primped. NO DUH! i bet they are a little embarrased they didnt have what it takes to make better models. what a joke.



are there any new weapons? "no plazma guns" DUH! what a joke.



why didnt they just name this game cs:bots. serious. thats awsome they did bots. but dont joke around with the title like that. thats all the game is. bots. and primped maps. which is cool. fine. the CZ isnt the right name for it. maybe cs:tonyhawks, or cs:bots... or cs:official cs bot!



ahh well....

Turtle Rock are the studio responsible

Should that be, "Turtle Rock is the studio responsible"?

In the case of cs_militia, Ido has "reinterpreted" it, rebuilding the whole thing from scratch. It's much like going back to the neighborhood where you grew up -- you recognize the place, but it's all a little different -- and very cool!

I have been asking for an updated millitia for as long as i can remember.. im so happy about this!

[Pharlap]

does this mean no scary T in a hockey mask?

bwahahah! that one is even WORSE! wellluhh what do you say about single player aspect of rituals blahblah....



oh well they blah blah...cs is a multiplayer game blah lbah....so basically we jsut put bots in and everyone who wanted a storyline can shove it because we suck, but now we got bots...har har..did i mention the cool new bots?



yeah so again basically they dodged the whole thing about them completely missing the idea of a story based version of counter strike. but they want thier players to buy something better tahn just "worth playing".



well i say...the bots sound GREAT! AWSOME! but ya know what valve? it'll probly be just worth playing...and not much more because you see, you failed to add a single player mode...i dont care what you call bots running around on the same map for a minimum of three rounds....how are those discs comming?
