Should you play it?

With its extensive Tour of Duty campaign, a near-limitless number of skirmish modes, updates and new content for Counter-Strike's award-winning multiplayer game play, plus over 12 bonus single player missions, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero is a tremendous offering of single and multiplayer content.

What works

  • Single-player campaign with missions and challenges
  • Improved bots for offline play and practice
  • Nostalgic classic counter-strike gameplay
  • Tactical squad management and strategy

Things to keep in mind

  • Outdated graphics and ai by modern standards
  • Limited multiplayer population and community
  • Single-player story is shallow and episodic
  • Some bugs and occasional glitches
  • Less innovation compared to other cs titles
