Half-Life Counter-Strike: Condition Zero

Part of the Half-Life series

Stand-alone expansion currently in development. Like the free mod Counterstrike it will focus on team play, but there will be a strong single-player mode. The basic premise is that terrorists are clashing with anti-terrorist forces.

There will be up to forty single-player missions conducted on sixteen large maps. Up to ten objectives per mission will feature, although it will not be necessary to complete them all to progress. The better you do the more cash you'll get. Cash is spent on recruitment, training and equipment. Missions promise to be well designed. Gameplay will combine stealth and tactical combat. Some ten new weapons will feature, including petrol bombs, LAW rockets and chemical gas grenades. New equipment will include a ballistic shield and a gas mask. Bot AI promises to be advanced.

Notably, it'll be possible to play the missions in the multiplayer mode. A spectator mode will enable people to view games without participating. Real-time voice chat will be supported.
