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

    One of the best shooters of all times, pretty much like all other 3 CS games. Cool levels and practice with bots, for the new players

    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.

    This is the best Counter-Strike game so far. I believe it's the only one with singleplayer mode and with fun challenges, like kill an enemy with the knife and survive the round. Great maps. Hours of fun over and over again. Awesome teammates...well sometimes they can be annoying, but I guess that's just part of the game, great and annoying moments. A lot of weapons to choose from.

There are many missions you do, which are just matches with specific objectives like "kill 5 people" or "get a kill with a sniper rifle". You can pick your teamates from a group of bots, rated on teamwork skills, game skills, and bravery. As you progress, you can put together a better team.

    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

But besides the weird title this first person shooter delivers some great single player action. 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

    This game is pretty fun to play may not be the same as the original but still its something. Plus you can do offline missions with bots so if your internet is down and you want to play counter strike offline to fill the time condition zero is for you.

    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.

    They put a story mode to a great game that is not boring. The multiplayer is pretty much the same except that there are more players and new maps. The graphic quality is good for a game of that time and the sound of guns is not realistic enough

    I quite enjoy the concept of a single player experience in Counter Strike, and i enjoy Condition Zero. Its not a mind-blowing adaptation to the series, but its fun for people who are looking for a more casual, solitary, Counter Strike experience.

    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.

    It's a shame it never got the support of the community, after bugfixes it's big improvement from 1.6(which people forget to this day is as buggy as it was 7 years ago), it provides better gameplay than css and less demanding grafix aswell

    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.
