I have just sent this E-Mail to Cliffe, even though i have little to no hope of receiving an answer

Hi Cliffe,



I have been with Counter-Strike from the very first days of its public release, and I think I can consider myself a veteran. We have overcome so many things in the past, things like laggy servers due to visible ghosts, crashed servers due to assault, and to some point we have nowadays overcome cheaters.



Today, we have another problem ( who would have thought so? :). I know you have monitored a lot of User opinions on this topic so I will not go into detail about the community split and its Pros and Contras to save both of us time. All I want is a little statement concerning this topic.



Will the two communities merge again or will 1.6 one day die a horrible death?



Cya Cliffe, and thanks for CS



Jens "Tek" Habegger

Let`s wait and see ...

Just make it so CZ zero and CS can be played together in multiplayer godamnit.



I have CZ since its launch but dont plan playing multiplayer unless I can do it with my mates on a CS 1.6 server, splitting the CS community is useless and, well, stupid. IMHO they would sell much more CZ licenses if the multiplayer part would be compatible with 1.6 ...upgraded models/graphics anyone? Keep the same layout and the same maps on 1.6 and CZ but with better quality on CZ. Or wait, they could just kill 1.6 so everybody moves on to CZ...

Than what do those of us who bought CZ do? I shall not accept any more free cookies from valve, so there goes that option..

will the hostages be in cs 1.6 also or not?

Given that the AI runs on the CZ bot programming, I sincerely doubt it.

Oh my god ! Oh my god ! Oh my god ! I LOVE CS:CZ!!

[LexTalionis502]

Odds are if most of us had better comps we would be playing another game. Honest assumption...

Lemme explain, you pay for CZ to play some new funky maps with some nice funky AI bots IN SINGLE PLAYER and when you join a pub you just get to play CS 1.6 stylez without these new funky things you paid for. Then you're a happy customer cuz you get best of both world, some updated nice funky things to masterbate with on your own and, when going multiplayer, the good-old nice fun gang-bang community you're used too. You even have the right to piss off thoses who didn't upgraded to CZ graphics! It just make em want to buy CZ more...



I think that, would everything had been thinked that way, ppl playing with the CZ update would drag ppl playing stock 1.6 to buy CZ (VAC or something should disallow importing CZ zero updated graphics into stock 1.6 for this to work). What do you think all? did we really needed 2 extremely similar multiplayer game?

[I2o[G]uE TacT-X]

People who bought Condition Zero get CS 1.6, too. It's redundant because you could just make it possible to play on CS 1.6 servers.

Can I do the MikeJ/DaveJ joke one more time?



No? Damn.



Anyway, when are the hitbox issues in CS going to be fixed? They should be the highest priority.

[Thortok2000]

I think CS:CZ should be able to play in CS servers (backwards-compatible multiplayer). Shouldn't get CZ features if joining CS servers, but stuff like graphics, models, HUD, whatever, all CZ. Or you can join a CZ server to get stuff like smart hosties.

No word on exactly when, but Cliffe has said that the hitboxes are being looked at. Who knows, maybe it'll be in this next update. The interview talked about new features, but didn't really mention exactly what bug fixes would be included.
