"We are attempting to build a compelling single player CS experience that provides the same rush and excitement as the multiplayer game," explains Doug Lombardi, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Valve Entertainment, "the new maps, player classes, and weapons introduced in the single player game will be available in the multiplayer game, but we are not planning to "change" the MP game - just provide more toys, locales, etc." Condition Zero was originally going to be developed by Rogue Entertainment, which is now fallen by the wayside.

Working with Gearbox Software, the brilliant minds responsible for Half-Life: Blue Shift and the upcoming Half-Life for PS2, Valve Software is creating a whole new Counter-Strike game for the single player in mind, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. So what's a brotha to do? Don't worry - Valve Software's got your back. However by being an online only game, not everyone can experience the excitement and adrenaline pumping action of Counter-Strike. What started out as a simple downloadable mod has tuned into an online phenomenon that continues to attract new players every day. If you hadn't already guessed it, the game we're talking about of course is Counter-Strike. Of all the popular FPS games out there, which one is the most popular? Quake III Arena? Yeah right.
