Gearbox: Condition Zero

Related Topics – Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Gearbox, Valve

Looks like Counter-Strike: Condition Zero the single player incarnation of the Counter-Strike universe has been handed over to Gearbox Software. Valve Software a while back had licensed the game out to Rogue Software, however due to the departure of a key member at Rogue Valve pulled the plug on the project. Soon aftewards an article came out in CGW with details on the project. A bit later word came out that all prior work was being scrapped.

Valve is proud to announce primary development of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero has moved to the Dallas, Texas offices of Gearbox Software, creators of the award-winning Half-Life expansion products and the soon-to-be-released Half-Life PlayStation 2. In addition to the team at Gearbox, several CS1 developers have been recruited to lend their talents to the creation of CS: CZ.

Gearbox Software has been responsible for a couple of Half-Life expansions as well as the PS2 port of Half-Life.

No, not Gearbox. ANYONE but Gearbox!

I don't know if it's because I'm using OpFor and Blue Shift as references, but I think that anything put out by Gearbox is a little messed up. They put SafeDisc on OpFor and gave it a different codebase, therefore it requires its OWN patches. They locked up Blue Shift in a 1.0.1.6 Half-Life engine (I'm still determined to extract everything and try to get it running in Half-Life as a mod). They made the "Desert Eagle .357" wussy and wobbly, and they forced the M249 to a 50-round belt even though the BOOKLET said 100 rounds.

I just can't forgive them for what they've done.

oh great. when completed, this game will have two levels and will take approximately 20 minutes for the average gamer to play through. but they'll have great architecture.
