mrmumbles Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I was just checking amazon.co.uk to see if Counter Strike Condition Zero was gonna hit its release date and in an unsurprising way according to them the release date has been pushed back to 9 Jan 2004 now! What has happened to this game, I remember reading something in PC Gamer probably a couple of years ago now about CZ and the features that were to be included in it, which at that time sounded pretty decent and with the prospect of a release date not too far away would do Counterstrike good. But here we are now in nearly 2004 with a game thats been passed around developers about to be released possibly only a few months before Half Life 2 (if it hits the April date) hits the shevles and overshadows everything else. Surely by this time everyone is going to be more interested in the prospect of CS2 using the new Half Life engine than paying out for a slightly different version of CS? I remember deligently checking everyday to find out how much longer the original Half Life was going to be delayed and finding that frustrating, surely delaying things by this long just doesn't do interest in the game any good?

Circaflex Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 im so over this game now, its been delayed just like Halflife 2, but cz is just a tiny upgrade of the hl1 engine seeing how hl2 is a whole new game, id rather them just quit on cz and speed things up with halflife 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted December 11, 2003 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 11, 2003 We are talking about valve though, the kings of delayed releases, or was CS:CZ farmed out to someone else? If so, maybe it was 3d Realms they farmed it out to, and if is them, it will be released shortly after Duke Nukem 'is taking' Forever :) [damn] Apologies for my English there, it was terrible :( But I cant be Ar**d fixing/editing it :) [/damn] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Yeah its been delayed so many times but i think this delay was cause it got leaked so they are remaking it and also Valve switched developers without the former developers knowing so that has held it up quite a bit :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy@5$ Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 :angry: They already have it on XBOX. why the hell is it taking so long to do a computer version!? :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANova Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 LOL, the game has been delayed how long again? Like 2 years I think. I really couldn't care less at this point. There's just no excuse for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMasamune Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 They might as well quit on it and remake it with the Half Life 2 engine. Other than that, I've lost all interest in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrosive23 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 i dont know why they havnt released, it because ive "previewed" it from an ftp dump i frequent and it works fine, still looks like crap compared to newer games. when i went online with it (without steam which amazed me) i saw only 4 servers running it and they all said valve in the title.

mrmumbles Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 Dont know why they dont just release it as abandonware like they did with Wolfenstien ET, surely that way people get and updated version of CS for the while until a new version comes along.

demorgoron Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 why would anyone buy a game that is free?this is just stupid.maybe the single player would be good,just another Rainbow Six knock-off,with really bad graphics just like the pc cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 The game went gold a while ago. So it is done (supposedly), but just hasn't been put onto shelves. But really, the HL1 engine has had it's day. CZ would have made a lot of sense a couple years ago, but in 2004? Lord no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 If you want to know why the game was deleted, point fingers and look at SIERRA. You really should be asking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demorgoron Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 they should keep to hl2 instead of a 3 year old game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
