is it THAT bad?

[burnzie]

i recently got ahold of a copy of CS:CZ. i played the standard game, it was OK, very much the same as the first (though the AI was pretty damn good). what i was suprised with was the deleted scenes, this is what they should have focused there energy on. they were on the right track, why did they can it??? i like the way its layed out, more like half-life, it could have used more stealth to make it more like CS, (mind you i have only played the first few sections so far)

it had new models \ textures, completely new enviroments, not just the redone ones in the main game. i dont know why they didnt go with it, spent the extra time on the deleted scenes. it could have been awsome, a great fill in for the wait for hl2

all they need is to combine the two, maybe CS2 will take the cake

what are your opinions, anyone else see what i see???

I thought it was a reasonably cool idea say 2 years ago. But delaying it till this year just made the whole thing incredibly pointless in my opinion.

I didn't like it. My friend got it and I thought it wasn't worth paying for.

personally i think the game is a pointless add on to CS, as CZ cannot be played with CS 1.6. whats the point? there are 160 CZ servers, and something like 4500 CS servers. all CZ adds - apart from below average SP -(my "pro" cs mate says the bots are awful and the challenges are pointless) is better models, new skins and some updated maps, plus a few new ones. but isnt this all a bit pointless, as no-one owns the game anyway? i mean, why buy a tiny update to a free game, that cant be played with the free game?

if its the bots your after, i have CS bots and they work fine apart from the occasional glitch. i would never buy CZ, and i dont know why they continued to make it. The game showed huge potential at first, then the developers changed and all the work was scrapped. then the new developer made some sub-standard missions, which were then also scrapped (and eventually put in as deleted scenes). this game has been tossed from one developer to the next, and has been patched and edited and generally tossed about.

Personally, i would have preffered an UPDATE pack to CS, which would be bought for £10 -£15 pounds and adds a SP mode to 1.6, which doesnt change the MP at all. Then you could choose to get the SP bots and the half - desent missions.

Can you really not play wth 1.6 users through CS:CZ? If not...what's the point? The bots might be good but if it hasn't got multiplayer comatibility then it doesn't matter how good the bots are.

And personally, the deleted scenes are really, really bad. Rubbish game design. You have to kill a guy behind bulletproof glass. There is an infinite supply of grenades. Do you nade the glass to destroy it? No. Do you blow the door down? Nope. DO you find another way in? No. You throw the grenade through an almost invisble hoel int eh glass. Yes, pure genius...

u said this earlier and i cant belive you would even cosider it being 1.6 MP compatible. it has new maps, new skins, new models and a whole new system of doing things. what would they do, kick all the 1.6 users from the server when one of the new (or updated) maps came on? and seeing as most of the CS maps have been updated, that would be just about every map change.

Then why don't they bring out CZ with a simultaneous 1.7 upgrade?
