CS:CZ Info & Shots
superm0nk @ 10:42 am - cs: cond. zero - 42 comments - hot topic
Okay rizzuh is totally screwing up the site, but that won't stop me from posting this.
Ritualistic has summarized the Condition Zero preview in Computer Gaming World. Here is Ritualistic's list:
Single-player
» Ritual started over nearly from scratch when it took over the project nearly eight months ago, keeping only parts of some maps and a few textures
» Rag-doll physics end up looking better and more realistic than those found in the latest Unreal Engine
» Rudimentary scripting language implemented to create special events, such as helicopter crashes and tank chases; at least one cool event in each level
» Single-player missions are no longer interconnected and you will take the role of squad leader in various elite counter-terrorist units
» Many missions require stealth over brawn
» Realism takes a backseat to action in single-player missions, you'll have more health and will be able to pick up med packs to heal
Multiplayer
» 10 new multiplayer maps and the addition of bots
» Bots respond to radio commands issued through an onscreen VGUI; no word on bots responding to radio commands in multiplayer
» Steam technology will continuously update the game, including updates to prevent multiplayer hacks and cheats
» VALVe plans to integrate CS with CZ by releasing Counter-Strike 1.7
» Owners of either can play with each other as long as they stay off the Condition Zero-exclusive maps
In addition to that, Ritualistic has posted screengrabs from the CS:CZ trailer also included in the new issue of Computer Gaming World magazine.
