You�ve been waiting very patiently indeed, and now it�s about to pay off. Counter-Strike: Condition Zero is coming.
Once again it�s your turn to make sure the terrorists don�t win. The sequel to one of the most popular PC games ever created, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero brings you more of what you�ve come to crave, but this time with an updated Half Life engine and new levels, weapons, and player skins..CZ�s most significant change is the new single-player campaign�20 missions� worth�which pits you against terrorists in areas like arctic tundra, desert wastelands, and urban sprawl. The game also features new equipment, like a bulletproof riot shield and upgraded weapons, and the new engine pumps out special effects like snow, rain, and gunfire with the best of �em.
Since GamePro�s last preview, Condition Zero has changed developers, and is now being co-developed by Valve and Ritual, two serious FPS veterans. Time will tell how everything turns out, but it looks like CS:CZ�s new team is pushing things in the right direction.
