ok this game is amazingly fun and i could talk about how good it is for hours but dont spend 29.99 on it when u can buy counter strike anthology for 20.00 and it comes with counter strike 1 and counter strike condition zero for 10 dollars less so if your smart you will take my advice and save 10 dollars and get two great games

This is pathetic

man, I know this will be a perfect game from perfect prequel but....... what is taking so long!!! I pre-order this item for birthday present(7/20) and it said it'll be released on 9/1/2003 back then. for the past three months I've been reading every single article about CS:CZ and I really really really hope this game WILL be released on 12/30

Many of us are very upset that the December 30th release did not hold true. The truth is, Sierra/Valuesoft never had any intention of release CS:CZ on that date. Once they missed the Sept. and Nov. release dates, they new it would take until March to get everything complete. The only reason they named Dec. 30th was so that they could maximize pre-orders for Christmas. If they had designated March 30th as the release date a few months ago, they would have had far fewer pre-orders leading up to the end of the year. This helps them pad their 2003 financials. Such practices should be a crime. I urge everyone to cancel their pre-orders and, if you decide you still want to purchase, wait until March 25th approaches to pre-order it.

Don't buy Condition Zero

I have been a CS fan since the beta's were first out. I am a huge fan of CS, so I figured CZ would be a great game. Waiting 2yrs from the original release date to play it and what did I get. The same game I already had, sure it has some new textures but thats not good enough. The bots are better but its not worth the $40 that you have to pay. The deleted scenes are ok but still not worth the money. Plus, its full of bugs, mine crashes about every 15 min and locks my comp up until I restart it. Wait until Half-Life 2 and/or Doom 3 comes out to get a great game.

It's True... World's #1 Online Action Game!

Condition Zero is so great... I can play this for hours and never get tired of it. The new single-player mode, Deleted Scenes, is much better than the original's single-player, which was just beating requirements in a regular multi-player game. And the online experience is better. The graphics have greatly improved, and I find that there aren't as many problems with the servers. A great improvement from original Counter-Strike, and I say it's the best first-person shooter game on the PC.

CS CZ CSucks

Look: I LIKE CS. I hadn't played it in awhile, and I heard that they were coming out with a single player version. "Awesome!" I said-- imagining a game featuring the action and mechanics of CS with the in-depth missions of a Rainbow Six. That's the way it was pitched to me, at least, before it bounced around several companies.
So today, I see CS CZ in a store for the first time (which I now chalk up to my ignorance; not its launch). I buy it . . aaaaand-- the single player blows. No new weapons. Mildly improved skins. More importantly, there are no 'missions', per se-- just ridiculous parameters set on existing maps.
You thought you liked "Italy"? Well, try to play it as regular CS with bots, only-- the only way you can advance is by killing 4 guys with the AWP, 4 with the desert Eagle, and rescuing ALL the hostages. Oh, by the way-- at least five or six times, you'll be rescuing the hostages, when one of your own teammates will take a gratuitous kill on the last terrorist as you head down victory lane, sending you right back to the beginning.
The AI is great-- it starts at 'drooling retard' (your teammates will wander in front of you, oblivious to your fire) and works its way up to 'Assisted Living' (If your teammate hears an opposing player approach, and the opposing player opens fire, they MIGHT ACTUALLY shoot back). However, the terrorists have one setting: "Wall Hacker".
I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, but I didn't buy it for the multiplayer-- that I can just download for free (with the purchase of half-life).
I bought this game for a cool single player counter-terror experience, and if that's your aim-- er . . play something else. This game blows.

I received my copy of CS:CZ on Friday (it is now Monday). I've had a chance to play it over the weekend. For those familiar with the old Counterstrike, CZ keeps the old maps, but bumps up the graphic details and adds three new game modes.

My favorite aspect of CZ is the new game modes. First, there is the online version of Counterstrike. Think of this as the existing version with a graphical facelift. Second, you can play a single person match of CZ w/Bots. The Bots can be switched from Easy/Normal/Hard/Expert mode to provide a challenging single player match. The single player match is great practice for online play. Third, there is a ladder system match where you have objectives to complete. For example, you may be tasked with eliminating six terrorists, eliminating one with a pistol and rescuing four hostages. You must complete all three objectives and win at least three rounds and win by two (e.g. 3 rounds to 1, 4 to 2, etc.) to complete the ladder mission. In this mode you select teammates based on skill points earned. Finally, there is a gaming mode where you have a series of specific missions to complete. These are found on the disc 2 (CS:CZ Deleted Scenes). For example, your chopper is shot down and you must make it to the extraction point, or you must infultrate a terrorist camp and rescue the prisoners.

For the pure online play, CZ is not that much different that the current version of the older Counterstrike (v 1.6). CZ does add some impressive graphic detail that make the existing maps more interesting. The real gem with CZ is the addition of the new gaming modes.

Overall I really like CZ and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to expand their CounterStrike experience beyond just multiplayer online.

The True First Person Battle Simulator

This is my favorite battle game. I started by playing Half-Life first, which in addition to "boots on the ground" battle against online opponents, also has an incredible story plot solo game included. But Counter-Strike is all about the battle between terrorists and counter terrorists, and bringing the battle right into your soul. What Condition Zero, the latest release from Sierra does so well, is it allows you to fight offline with robots, or 'bots', as they are called in this genre. You can set their skill level low so you can be the hero and hold your own, and not get slaughtered by the pros you would otherwise meet in the online network option. Playing with the bots is my favorite way to play. It also alleviates any trouble you might have with a slow internet connection. I want to have to struggle, but I enjoy coming out the hero in most of the bot matches. At the beginning of each round you get money to use to equip yourself with the necessary kevlar armor, as well as submachine guns and rifles, etc, based on real world counter-terrorist police gear. If your team wins, then the next round you have more money to buy better weapons and gear. By the way, each round lasts about 10 minutes, so if you get shot, you float like a ghost and observe until a few minutes later when a whole new round commences.
The 3d graphics are great, the approximately 20 maps are varied such as Chateau, Train Station, Aztec, Desert, etc. The sounds are very realistic, right down to the sound of the brass casings bouncing on the floor as you fire your mp5 at your enemy. There is solo game story adventure included, which even includes a training mission. Counter-Strike is the #1 selling first person shooter in the world, bar none. Not to be missed!

I just got the new Counter-Strike condition zero and the graphics in multiplayer are so much better. Worth the money by their own. The single player also makes the game worth it. If you already own counter strike you can wait but if you don't own counter strike buy this for sure. The bot's work perfectly and it's nice to use all the new skins and guns. So far it's been released for 7 hours and there are about 24 active servers and rising. THe only thing I would change is that in multiplayer I don't see any new weapons or the new counter terrorists/counter-t's yet. Buy it.
