Condition Zero Preview

CSNation has posted a new Counter-Strike: Condition Zero preview, offering all the info you want on the version of the game that's actually shipping next month. While apparently some content developed by Ritual Entertainment will be in the game, others parts of the game have been developed by upstart Turtle Rock Studios (the fourth developer to work on this game).

All of your enemies and teammates are CPU bots. Each has a unique name and personality. The personality consists of four attributes: skill, co-op, bravery, and favorite weaponry. So if your teammate has a low co-op level, he might tell you to screw off when you give him an order. Yes, tell you. Your teammates will use voice communication to tell you what's going on in the map and respond to your orders. With hundreds of sentence fragments, the bots can deliver numerous unique messages. The voice and pitch of each bot is unique, and will always match the bot's name and personality.
