Jess Cliffe Interview

[CSN NewsBot]

IGN has interviewed Jess Cliffe from VALVe. There aren't any major revelations, but the interview contains detail of the bots, mission types, and more from the long overdue Condition Zero.

IGNPC: The bar for shooter games has been raised quite a bit since the first Counter-Strike was released. Have any recent shooters inspired you to add or tweak features in Condition Zero?



Jess Cliffe: At the end of the day, Condition Zero's Tour of Duty was more inspired by sports games than any FPS titles. In addition, we learned a lot from our experiences with the players and teams who participate in professional gaming events such as those put on by The CPL and The World Cyber Games

The interview is a great read, and if you happen to be dying for the release of CZ, click this link to kill some time right now patient one.

Seems like Mr. Cliffe is getting quite the bit of publicity these days. My question is, Where's Gooseman?

or mebbie its just a typo

[KTRICK7]

must be a typo. lol...well, i guess that my suspicions were dead wrong. I was hoping they went back to make the models better, but it doesnt soound like they used rituals models in the bot portion of the game.



tis a shame. lol.."its like tetris" errr i dont play tetris anymore...never liked tetris...gosh they just dont seem to get it.



i wonder if you will be able to switch them (models) over. i heard you have to make them compatable by doing a buncha stuff i dont understand...errr frusteratin!

" Deleted Scenes also contains a few other weapons, such as the rocket launcher, which may find there way to the multiplayer game over time."



Jesus, it was just really a matter of time...

[talrex]

If they're going to add a rocket launcher to CS multiplayer, I hope it only has the power of a HE nade or HE nade with a few more damage points, not like one that can knock a whole team at a spawn with one shot lol

One would think he was referring to the other weapons, such as the M60 or the H&K G36, not the LAW.

[jo0ni3]

well... if they don't charge the game with full price tag of $49.99, i would definitely get one. (may be $25 or less?) :P

if they are including all of those extra weapons, then maybe ritauls models in the files, then maybe copy and pastein ... then maybe ...

[pistachio]

...ya know...I've been thinking. It says in one of the interviews that they will have "deleted scenes" where you can play the ritual missions, ya know? WELL, they also said that the "deleted scenes" missions will have updated models. :) SO, wouldnt that mean if you wanted updated models, you could just snoop into the cz file directory and copy the "updated" models into your regular models folder? Why not? It could work. Well just a thought.

[EL17E]

O.K., I have played the ritual version of condition zero and it SUCKED, which many of you will come to realise when you play the "deleted scenes" part of the vavle revised version of cz. Also, the models paled in comparison to the models like the ones hosted on this website so plz stop whining about rituals models cause they suck.

uhmm actually...i liked the models a lot. and a lot of other people do to. and ive played the levels also..youd be right to say the levels were the best thing ever, but they were entertaining. im not real excited about them...and they coulda done a lot better, (shoulda) but they didnt totally suck imo
