User Rating: 8.9 | Counter-Strike: Condition Zero PC
Review of Version 1.2 - Condition Zero now worth picking up! When looking at all these low scores you have to realize that people were basing the reviews on the older versions of CZ and now with the recent updates, Condition Zero is actually worth putting 20-30 dollars down and picking up a copy. I'll get right down to the chase, if you're asking yourself why pay money for a game when you can get Counter Strike for free? Well here are just a few reasons, Condition Zero has enhanced player models, including 2 more new models that you can't get in the original CS. All the models look far better and more realistic. The gun models, which are much much better looking, and sounds have all been changed, the sounds for CZ blows away CS. They've also added several new maps, including the 2 new maps from the recent CZ update, and they have modified a couple of the old maps. (including new textures) They have made maps like Militia and Office much more fun and interesting. Don't base buying this game on Gamespot's old review, they played the original version of Condition Zero which only contained map texture updates. This is the reason why it got such a low score. Also they have finished the single player CZ Deleted Scenes, which are extremely fun sp missions and last along time. Trust me you owe yourself to buy this game. In fact here are all the updates that you can only get in Condition Zero not CS. Added new hostage models and animations Added new hostage behaviors and dialogue Added crosshair customization (color, size, opacity) Added player location system Added exponential fog in OpenGL Added in-game vgui progress bar for nav mesh analysis Upgraded de_inferno_cz Upgraded deagle view texture Updated cs_italy_cz with 32 spawns Upgraded weapon UI images Tweaked glock and USP sounds Tweaked snow walking sound Corpses fade out with cl_corpse_stay Grenades are dropped on death Improved player turning right hitbox behavior Improved shield behavior Improved brass ejection behavior Bots can use silencer on m4a1 Improved bot_auto_vacate behavior with spectators Career tasks are reset on mp_restartround Improved tutor behavior hud_draw 0 doesn't remove blackout Scope blackout drawn in software mode Flashlight sound no longer masks weapon firing sounds Improved text behavior in top-right corner of observer mode Round timer doesn't re-appear until the round restarts when the bomb is defused or explodes Improved player model hands
