Condition Zero Questions

What sort of support will there be to the modding community? (especially considering how many mods there are already cashing in on the "Let's kill with Mp5s" trend)

Will Czero stay true to the police/special forces theme, or will it lean more towards full-scale war? Are we going to see rifle grenades (the Galil and FA MAS, two new weapons in Czero, are known for using them), machineguns and lasing targets for airstrikes as if this were a military conflict, or will Czero do what CS did and steer clear of giving players too much kaboom?

Will the russians have modern russian special forces weapons available to them, such as the AS VAL, Groza or the ASM-DT amphibious rifle, or will CZero stick with AK47s, AK74s, and other more pedestrian weapons?

How good is the AI in single player, especialy for your teamates?

DID THEY FIX THE HOSTAGE A.I.??????

OK...for single player missions: what happens if you die during the mission? Does your AI teamate continue on without you or do you restart the mission? After all, in CS once you die you have to wait until your teamates either complete the objective, die, or time runs out.

Are the graphics still dated looking? Do they even look more dated with a high definition pack?

DOES TEH GAME HAVE CRATES?!

Does the new graphical style of the game detract from the "SWAT" feel the original gave?

can u put a better naem?

CO-OP?

Would *you* buy it ?

Is there coop?

How do the new weapons and items affect game balance, if at all? Are we gonna see effects on the order of removing the scope from the M4 (which ppl still complain about), or more like the intro of the UMP/5-7/SG551 (which basically changed nothing).

How, exactly, is CZ going to integrate with CS? Will current players of CS be able to play new maps and with new weapons/items without purchasing CZ?

Is it fun?

Do any of the skins have that ignorant combination of camoflage and bright red bandannas?

Coop?

Obvious question like how is the single and multi-player.

What makes it better than CS?

Is this the addon that makes CounterStrike fun?

One of the things that made CS addictive were the quick turnover of rounds. It was easy to say "ok, just one more round" because of the minimal time commitment.
Is there any trace of this in the new single player game? If not, and it still manages to be addictive...what makes it so?

- New player animations? From the way the characters look in the screenshots, it seems like they just slapped hi-poly models onto the current ones. I'd like to see the players twitch when shot (like a few versions back) and not run like ogres.

- Coop?

- COOP???

Does your movement speed get severely reduced after jumping a la the CS 1.4 beta?

Is the walking speed extra slow like in 1.4 beta?

Yeah, I know it'd be tough to notice the walking speed having just looked at the game for a little while, but it's worth a shot. :p

Are they building the game to test their bot technology so they get millions of beta testers for the TF2 bots? Oh wait, I already know the answer to that one. Sorry, nevermind.

The CPL is having an impact of some kind on the multiplayer portion of CS:CZ, could you describe this in more detail?

Have they tried to go a different direction for the cone of divergence model that (as someone mentioned previously) allows random headshots?

Does distance effect the amount of damage shots do?

Will it follow the "winners out" gameplay model in multiplayer where the winners continually have the advantage due to a money system, as found in CS?

(Please note that this was as unbiased I can sound in asking questions about a psuedo-sequel to what I think is a poor game model all the way around. If the game takes the few entertaining elements from CS and goes a completely different direction, I think I might enjoy it.... and with Co-op, of course. =)

crates.. is there crates? how many? what sizes? I MUST KNOW!

Is it the patch addon that'll make it fun?

Questions for Steve:
How effective are the new weapons? Do any of them unbalance the game?

Are they making any tweaks to the existing weapons that won't be present in vanilla CS?

Are the single-player maps good for multiplayer, or are there seperate maps for that?

Have they done anything to the fucking worthless flashlight?

Is Condition Zero in any way going to change the multi player CS as we see it today? Im talking here about radical changes, and NOT the minor changes we see when a new CS patch is released.

Does the Half-life engine show any improvements in the graphics and technology?

Terrorists:
Will we be able to torture hostages?

Counter-Terrorists:
Will two CTÂ’s be able to defuse bomb faster?
(I know itÂ’s kind of unrealistic but as a reward in the game I think itÂ’s be great. ItÂ’s a team based game after all)

Both:
Will we be able to surrender?
(Reason? See if 1 CT’s left and 10 Ts with 3 minutes ‘till the end of the round. The CT has a AWP, he knows he can’t save the hostages, he knows he can’t win, he knows he won’t get any money next round but he wants to save his weapon so he just surrenders (instead of camping for 3 minutes) and the new round starts right away.

Does flashlight has blinding effect?

Is the realistic-physics-model implemented where players can bump into each other and trip over things?
(I mean how cool would that be!!!!)

- What's the radar look like? Is it the same? Did they explain any of its new features to you?

- How do the new skins/models look with the new maps AND with the old maps? Do they stand out oddly, or do they fit in well?

- Is there an in-game MP3 player yet, a la RA3?

- Is the ALT-TAB sound switching bug fixed? (if ya alt-tabbed out to windows, or another program was brought to the front that minimized half life, your sound would stop working and it'd require a total exit out of the game and then back in; supposedly you can click exit, click resume, (or something like that) and then get it back working, but's it never worked for me)

C'est tout! Ah, one more... is it fun? I mean, real fun... like the kind of fun CS was when you first experienced it? Or is it more of, well, gee, this is fun... for the first half hour fun?

Gracias.

Did they fix the bug where it seems like your lagging if your running directly behind another player?

Is there Coop? That's all I need to know. ;)

How will the single player content interact with the multi? Will we be able to play the single player map in multiplayer? What about bots on mult servers? How will the new game interact with traditional CS servers, and vice virca (for example, maybe CS players would have access to the new guns/GUI/other code stuff, but not player models and maps)?

Along with this pack. Is the HL engine getting any specifically new graphic upgrades?

High-res textures? Model and environment shadows?

will there be some sort of strict guidelines to go about the missions like there is in Swat 3???
like for example yelling out commands to the terrorists before you a) take control of them or b) bust a cap in their head

is there continuity between missions? Similar to Hitman? Or does it feel just like a package of individual unrelated missions like in Delta force? OR even better, is it totally seemless like a normal fps game?

How does it compare to something like Ghost Recon/Rogue Spear? Is it the same realism/missions type thing?

Have they done anything specific to improve the graphics on the now rather dated half life engine? If not, are they at least pushing the poly count/texture detail/etc more than CS currently does to try to take some advantage of newer hardware that is now common?

Is there coop? (of course)

Are they using any content from CS at all, in terms of artwork, and if it's all new will we still recognize elements from CS (say map settings, texture style, etc)

How are they making it so it doesnt suck like Counterstrike? :P

What have the sys. requirements been up-ed to, now that the tech has been updated.

Will an SDK be released?

What will retail cost be?

Has gameplay been tweeked any? Such as hit damage for weapons like MP5 and such.
