Condition Zero Interview
by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 12, 2001 7:50am PDTFarrago.co.uk has posted an interview with Randy Pitchford of Gearbox, asking him questions about their Counter-Strike: Condition Zero project. Though most of the questions have been asked before, Pitchford still gives some new info on the new engine features, the weapons, the new missions and a couple of other things.
What new weapons will be present to knock the opposition around with? Randy Pitchford: There will be eight to ten new weapons and items available in the finished game. One of the most popular new weapons is the LAW rocket. It's important to note that the LAW rocket is a one-shot launch tube. It can be purchased like a grenade and when fired it flies in a fairly straight path and explodes on impact. This gives it an interesting tactical counter-balance to how grenades currently work in the game ...

I imagine the "gaps" he speaks of are that 1) the T assault rifles are relatively inaccurate (in the CS sense) and 2) that the CT's don't have a "cheap" rifle like the AK-47. We can conclude (as has been mentioned earlier) that the FAMAS is cheap and the Galil is accurate.
What isn't mentioned is that these gaps are there for a REASON. How boring would the first round be if both teams started with the same pistol? How exciting are those surreal rounds where EVERYONE has an MP5? BOOOOORRRRIIIIINNNG. I appreciate additional variety, but if these guns are just me-too's so each time can be even more alike the other, it won't really make the game better. And heaven help us if the FAMAS is to the AK as the SG550 is to the G3-SG1 (hah! an analogy! I 0wnXx0r3d the SAT!!! ;))...
It's certainly beyond hope that these guns will be represented "realistically", as CS is in no appreciable way realistic anyway. But I would like to point out for the record that the standard issue magazine for the 5.56mm Galil is thirty-FIVE rounds, and if they fuck that up I'll be quietly pissed off.

I dunno... I don't think a rocket launcher suits the mod really..
unless they get the drivable vehicles going again, then maybe a rocket launcher as anti vehicle weapons...
you know, TF2 better fucking have drivable vehicles by now, they used to say it wont... but well that was a loooong time ago.
