Впрочем, по сравнению с Counter-Strike не изменилось практически ничего, стоит лишь сравнить Dust II. И все же, изменения есть, графика стала четче и движения игрока несколько изменились. Также добавлено несколько карт. Однако, самое большое впечатление на меня произвела одиночная компания, единственный раз добавленная в Counter-Strike. Она интересна за счет разнообразия ситуаций и действий, дается большое количество гаджетов. Необычный опыт. Наконец, дополнительные задания "на скилл" с ботами позволяют в полной мере насладиться контентом, который дает игра.… Expand

    Pretty decent game.

    Good gameplay, graphics, decent Singleplayer with bots and absolutely fantastic Deleted Scenes campaign, it's not perfect for sure, but i had fun with it. It is definetly worth picking up even to only play the singleplayer.

    I can understand why Deleted Scenes was hated, mainly because of two major flaws, the slow responsive AI which is derivated directly from Half-Life's HECU Marines with clunky movements and firing mechanics which made the game unfairly easy, and the lack of a solid storyline, all of the missions doesn't connect each other, another flaw which I consider minor is the wrong placement of theI can understand why Deleted Scenes was hated, mainly because of two major flaws, the slow responsive AI which is derivated directly from Half-Life's HECU Marines with clunky movements and firing mechanics which made the game unfairly easy, and the lack of a solid storyline, all of the missions doesn't connect each other, another flaw which I consider minor is the wrong placement of the missions in the world map.

    But Condition Zero Multiplayer Arc was hated mainly because of the weapon nerfing which I don't see it as something really bad, Condition Zero nerfed many weapons, and nerfed the Shield which in 1.6 was pretty hard to kill someone who was using it, I don't see anything bad with Source-like gameplay mechanics, however, another flaw from Condition Zero was the graphics, Ritual Entertainment did little to improve the graphics mainly because of GoldSource limits but the graphics weren't that bad in 2004.

    Condition Zero had a lot to offer in it's beta version, but many of the ideas were discarded or skipped due to the lack of time to implement it, ending in a polished Counter-Strike 1.6 with better graphics, animations and models, but with little innovation, a strong point of CS: Condition Zero is it's soundtrack which is composed by Zak Bellica, I find it very motivating.    … Expand

The Counter Strike series is of course known for its multiplayer modes but this was a chance for gamers to practice if it were against the computer or bots as it’s called. It’s a lot of fun and offers a nice progression to keep you addicted.

    The history of Counter Strike’s many versions is better left to other reviewers but in short this game has a graphical upgrade from the first game as well as being able to play the maps in multiplayer. The single player campaign is a serious of rounds, with 3 for each. Once you beat a section you are usually awarded an additional team member to use for the next set of challenges.

    Depending on how many points you have you can either pick higher ranked bots to join you or pick less powerful ones but have a larger team. This is a great touch which helps the player decide if he wants to do the brunt of the action or let his teammates help in the fight. Sometimes its better to have a larger team to distract the computer players so you can get a quick kill. Hey, casualties of war man!

    As the rounds go on the game gets harder with more tricky objectives. Some of them are quite fun others are pretty standard like rescue hostages or win a round in a certain time. Others can be hard like killing so many in a round with a sniper rifle or with pistols. The variety is nice as is the speed of the game and how quickly you can go set it up and play.

    This game was the basis for the game on the Xbox console as well. It’s a fun first person shooter game, showing that playing against bots can both be extremely fun and a challenge as well. The game still works great on modern systems and many players are playing the maps online. Grab a Wal-Mart bought assault rifle and join the fun today!    … Expand

    I loved this game. In a game where you spawn, kill, repeat what it needs is goals, a mini story and something to strive for. This is how it's done.

    I hate the others that think achievements motivate people. THIS is how you do it. And that's why, Valve, this game is a 9 and CS:GO is 7. Keep taking tips for "pro" gamers, it's working well.

    This is my second favorite counter-strike (behind Counter-Strike: Source) because of the missions you can undertake in the actual game and the deleted scenes. Besides these additions it is just counter-strike at it's core.

New "moodlets" keep the game much more interesting, as do lifetime wishes. I did think that I would miss all of The Sims 2 expansions, but EA have taken the best from each and put them all into The Sims 3. The game continues to impress me everytime I play it, there is so much depth. The only problem I can find is with performance. I have all the graphical options turned up, and the game runs very slow (there are few more powerful computers than mine). I suspect performance will be improved in upcoming patches.

The first level, for example, has you crash landing in a helicopter in Northern Africa, and you have to reach an evacuation point. You have to fight through a bunch of terrorists to get there, and you have to rescue your buddy that got captured by them. The deleted scenes are a bit more in-depth than that, but I can't exactly go on and explain how every single level is different.

The updated skins and map defaults-nades through walls-have been fixed and made it a better strategic experience than 1.6 ever was. Adding bots or a side fps is ok, but nothing to judge the game on.

    Well die hard counter strike 1.6 players will be amazed to play this game . I think it is awesome and fills up all the missing parts of 1.6. The graphics, the sound and everything about the game is amazing. Everyone should try it.

    Condition-Zero is by far the best game Valve have released. Its have better game play than source and has a better community than 1.6.

    Let me just say, this game probably won't please people who can play Counter-Strike 1.6/source online, however for people who don't have a fast enough internet connection, or just wanna practice, this is the game. Also, the addition of a new terrorist model on multiplayer is an everlasting lure for those who love not being able to see how good they look. A definite must buy.

    the game does have a bit better graphics than 1.6. it is actually more addicting than 1.6. its also a bit easier than 1.6. the overall physics is different, the guns are easier to shoot with and kill. thats why i like it more lol! althought going back and forth from 1.6 to cz makes u better somehow. cz is deffinetely best out of css and 1.6.

    I thouroughly enjoyed the game. Games aren't just about high end graphics. This was a fun game even though it's not as epic as HL, and I didn't have to listen to foul language (Counter-Strike) with the online kids. Very enjoyable.

The bots are smarter then the ones in Source, the graphics are better then 1.6. I also like the fact that it can be played on older machines.

    Counter Strike CZ should be considered as an upgrade to the the original counter strike, or even the prelude to source. Many maps have been changed and look a lot better (especially inferno).

    What may seem like a toned-down version of Source, it's still a great alternative for people with lower-end machines.

    Excellent game. For those who dont want to go to source, or cant go to source. It's also an upgrade from CS1.6 better skins, and from the way it seems registry is higher, and it's also easier to tell CT's from T's apart from my personal experience.

    Aside from going practically insane online with people I just dont even understand could get so good, I love to play online, as well as with the bots. the bots are definitly a step up, as you can play any level you want. there is downloadables such as skins that can also improve the game a bit, and map downloads, so even if the base game werent as good as it is, it could be made even better.

    The problem is that neither the physics nor the graphics have aged particularly well; if you're looking for a next-gen FPS, this is not it. It is, however, a decent update to one of the best titles of yesterday. [Apr 2004, p.108]

    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero only gets its score because of the multiplayer, and if you’re after this for anything other than a visual tweak and a disc filled with Half-Life 2 videos, you’d be best off not bothering at all.

    It certainly doesn't do enough to compete with today's shooters and the fact that much of the game is already available in another format makes this version seem a bit redundant.
