    This game rocks! The high amount of weapons to choose from and many exciting maps is great fun! My favourite map is de_dust2, just like most of my other friends. I'm glad this game got a high rating; it deserves one!

    Single player was ok and my deserve some of the negative responses. It's the online play that I give it a 9, this is what CS 1.3 should have become when STEAM hit. Better netcode, better graphics and better maps than 1.6. It also has better feel than source.

    That is absurd! This game was wonderful. I don't understand why "you people" think this is a big dissapointment. This has outstanding graphics, and the gameplay is awesome. So, I give it a 10.

    This has a very good Single player RP part. Could make stuff like noise, more realistic (Breaking open a lock (very loud) with a little wall in the way, and the enemy not noticing).

    Very poor. Frankly, the bots suck, and the new CS:Z player models are no improvement on the old CS models. The arctic model was ruined completely! I'll never forgive them.

    This game was a dissapointment. it took valve way to long to take cs 1.6, and add bots (wich by the way are shit) and make you have to unlock maps. i hate bots so much, and i think they should be taken off of the game. they sit there like retards, atleast make them smart. half of the time they sit in a corner and stare at an enemy through the wall, who is also hiding in another corner....

    Two things aside from the game play that I love about this game. 1 You don't need the frakin CD in the drive to play, 2 You buy the game and play online for free. STEAM is a great tool.

    In *my* opinion, this is a more balanced game than CS 1.6, and it has bots... I don't understand why others feel the need to bag it. I have Source and obviously 1.6, but I still prefer to play CZ online.

    Online gaming is taking to the max... updated graphics and models from 1.6 but keeps the great gameplay that will keep you hooked for hours on end.

    With the mods u can get for this game, its amazing, plus u can create ur own missions if u want.. this is a single player game basically and the score is not based on the multiplayer aspect of the game.. just the great single player action, and with tonystrike or something like that... wow! thanks valve!

    Well, its a pretty neat game. Adding the mission mode was a great idea, but its not the real 1.6 feeling. Both graphicaly and playability is enhanced, wich is great. It's a great game from a great producer

    i think this game is a very big upgrade to the old 1.6 version yet is does lack more map's than 1.6 i still think this game is 10 step's ahead of 1.6 with the graphics upgrades the buy menu upgrades (without useing script which i think is hacking) is nice i think the game all around is very very solid.

    Condition Zero is the best of all Counter Strike series CS 1.6 has too many hackers CS:S is way too easy So Condition Zero is well balanced.

    i dont understand how normal counter strike has a better rating because this 1 has bots so you can play alone and it has a game where you pick ur teams depending on points and stuff so i think that counter strike condition zero would get much better results.

    I don't see why people hate it so much. I like it because it takes a game that I already know and love and adds new features to it. Plus, I like the idea of bots whom I can command and win a match strategically, not by luck.

    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.
