Has anybody played the beta yet? It's really quite good.

I heard it sux. Haven't played it though.

to bad its a beta..

beaver · June 30, 2003, 10:41 PM

Its Condition Zero.

Etheran · June 30, 2003, 11:03 PM

no it is not!

It's the counter-strike v1.6 update. The update is essentially the exact same thing as the Condition Zero you will be able to purchase in stores, with the exception that you will not have single player missions available and you will not have the higher detailed models.

The beta is the update beta, not the retail beta.

no.. CZ comes with different weapons and stuff ;p

Yes, CS 1.6 is in essence Condition Zero as I said...

No it's not. CS 1.6 doesn't have single player missions like CZ will have which, in IMO, makes CZ what it is. They're migrating towards CZ, but they're not fully there; and that's only so people who buy CZ can play online.

Naem · July 01, 2003, 11:28 PM

CZ's going to be useless, since CS2 is already in development based on the Source engine.

Naem, I'd like to see some evidence towards that...

Yes I know, but my point was and still is that the only reason people are going to buy CZ is for the single player missions. Also, what about new/updated maps? Or the LAW? Or the blowtorch? Or the reskined weapons? I highly doubt this 1.6 beta will become Condition Zero. Condition Zero is a completely different game with different tactics and organization. Too add to that, Ritualistic announced that "Valve plans to integrate CS with CZ by releasing Counter-Strike 1.7." http://www.ritualistic.com/news/archive/individualday.php3?day=01&month=04&year=2003

I don't know how many times I have to say this...
1.6 is essentially CS:CZ with the exception of a few things, the models (player and gun) are not as high detailed... There will be no single player in CS1.6 due to size issues I'd guess, and apparently (news to me) some maps.

Quote
Owners of either can play with each other as long as they stay off the Condition Zero-exclusive maps

Everything else will be the same, weapons and all. I don't know what it means with the 1.7 patch but I do know that except for that one source, all of the other times I've read and been toled, CS1.6 is CZ. Anyways nothing can be certain until we actually see the patch, and the game.

However, I am looking forward to HL2 far more than CS:CZ. I downloaded the trailer... Had to change my shorts if you get my drift.

As am I. But knowing Valve's track record...I'm not that hyped up.

Next CS version.
