    Really quite good. The difference between 1.6 and Condition Zero is quite large in the fact that the details are much more realistic. For example, the blood splatters realistically on walls and the floor, and the graphics are much better.

    It's nice to have a multi player game that has inteligent bots so that it can be played single player. The bots A.I. is nicely done.

    This game was not purposely made to be a half life 2 or halo game that everyone loves. The original cs was a mod with poor graphics but great gameplay. This game was designed to enhance those graphics and sounds to partial pc standards so if people do not like cs source and want to stick with classic gameplay, they do not have to go all the way back to classic half life graphics.

    Thats a cool game, the normal CS with some nicer graphics, but i still prefer the old 1.6 With the "deleted scenes" you can play a little but the enemies are really dumb. Finnaly you have missions. Like... real "counter-terrorrists". Its good to check it out. BTW Multiplayer is better

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

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

    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

Причем политкорректно разрешающее играть исключительно за контров, разбавленное типо тактическим подбором команды и заданиями в духе "зарежь пять террористов с ножа за 45 секунд". А также абсолютный трэшак под видом компании из Deleted Scenes... Вместо того что бы порадовать игроков перестрелками в духе Солдат Удачи, в CS CZ DS за нами с первых же минут гоняются местные моджахеды с ятаганами наперевес, у которых даже пути преследования цели нормально не прописаны, они с легкостью могут оббежать все окрестности максимально убогих по дизайну уровней, а затем уткнуться в стену и бежать в нее... если бы это была шутка, то она определенно бы удалась.

    Она и сейчас играется неплохо. Разве что противники стреляют в голову как только выйдешь за угол.

    It was best CS game when I were. Graphics were good for time. Gaming design were well. Maybe there were stabilization problems about multiplayer but only that.

    Graphics:9/10
    Sounds: 7/10
    Gameplay: 8/10
    Stabilization: 5/10

    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.

    I don't know how many times I've completed the story missions, even the easy levels were really fun, what a beautiful day in 2007

    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero has always been, for me, the visually improved yet less favored sibling of the original Counter-Strike. While it introduces some new elements like singleplayer with bots, it struggles to compete with the timeless appeal of its predecessor.

However, for    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero has always been, for me, the visually improved yet less favored sibling of the original Counter-Strike. While it introduces some new elements like singleplayer with bots, it struggles to compete with the timeless appeal of its predecessor.

    As a die-hard Counter-Strike fan, I've spent countless hours in the original game in my childhood. However, for newcomers, the game's steep learning curve, outdated graphics, and gameplay mechanics might be overwhelming, limiting its appeal to those who cherished it in its prime.

    Despite Valve's attempt to remaster the classic, many players and even the CS pro scene remained loyal to the original. Personally, after revisiting Condition Zero, I appreciate both games but find myself leaning more towards the charm of the original.

    One notable downside of Condition Zero is its considerably smaller player base in comparison to the original, which sometimes makes finding active servers today a challenge, particularly for modes other than Deathmatch.

    As for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero - Deleted Scenes, its attempt to introduce a story-based campaign falls flat for me. Although the gameplay remains true to CS, the lackluster story and uninspiring gameplay make it a disappointing experience compared to the multitude of better mods available in Half-Life.

    In conclusion, if you prefer the enhanced visuals and minor additions in Condition Zero, it's worth giving it a try. However, I can't recommend Counter-Strike: Condition Zero - Deleted Scenes as it fails to deliver a satisfying single-player campaign. For those seeking the true essence of Counter-Strike, the original remains the top choice.    … Expand

    Превратить каеску из мультика в сингликуе было неплохой идеей но что-то у разрабов пошло не так очевидно

    It has a campaign but it is very short and the corpses disappear which makes the experience not so realistic. I wish CS go had a campaign

    Пожалуй, мне не хватает опыта в сетевом режиме этой игры, чтобы его оценивать, но все же скажу, что он неплох. 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.

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

    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.
