Counter Strike: Condition Zero c’est le nom de la version Counter Strike single player actuellement en développement. A mon avis ils l’ont appelé comme ca car il faut vraiment atteindre 0 de QI pour vouloir un addon single player sur un FPS multi orienté teamplay qui date de plus de 3 ans.
Donc, si vous pensez avoir atteind la Condition Zero, la preview de Gamespy vous interessera surement. Elle contient quelques screenshots qui vous montre le moteur de CS au cas où vous auriez oublié à quoi il ressemble. Elle dévoile aussi des détails sur l’intelligence artificielle des ennemis:
With all this talk about fellow squad mates and units, you gotta wonder, who is controlling these guys in the single-player game? Have you ever heard of Pod Bot? « We have the best guy in the biz doing the AI for Condition Zero, » says Pitchford. « We’ve got Markus Klinge on board, the guy who created Pod Bot. He’s doing all the AI for the units in the game. » So just how good is the AI? As a joke, the Gearbox guys put yours truly in a multiplayer game where the player’s names were folks on the CZ team. After a few frustrating rounds, we later found out that the other players were indeed bots programmed by Klinge. How good were they? So convincingly real it was almost eerie. They not only camped, but were also adept with the AWP and their ability to cover for one another was remarkable. Remember how smart the Marines were in Half-Life? Imagine bots ten times as intelligent.
Un bon point tout de même, CS:C0 ajoutera de nouvelles armes et un riot shield ainsi que 16 maps. Le tout utilisable en multiplayer.
