<div class="IPBDescription">X-box jerks</div> just to remind you that the boycott we planned on Counter-Strike Condition Zero should stay in force. To support it you must not buy Condition Zero for either the X-box or the PC until the PC version is made as good or better than the X-box version to reflect the fact that the PC is in fact a more powerful system and that making the X-box version better than the PC version is a blatant sign of an exclusivity deal. Don't feel that you are too powerless to fight the companies. there are other people besides you who are just as **** off by this manipulation and if you stick together you can force companies to stop doing things like this.

    Not that I planned on buying it anyway, but just for the sake of argument:

    What makes the X-Box version so superior to the PC version?

    I can almost hear VALVe quaking in fear at the impending boycott....

    Oh, no wait, i forgot, IT WON'T MAKE ANY FREAKIN' DIFFERENCE.

    Go start a petitiononline.com petition or something, then at least you'll look like you're doing something, not that anyone actually gives a damn about them, especially not games companies.

    One uses a crappy controller, the other uses keyboard and mouse.

    As far as similarities go, fear not, the game will be as mediocre on any platform.

    Now if I remember the only difference is the (slightly) improved graphics.

    HOWEVER the levels have to be adjusted so they are less vertical because of the controller issues.

    I still am getting CS:CZ for PC

    XBOX better than PC?


    The facts are clear, XBOX= 700Mhz CPU (Laugh)


    Play Half-Life for PS2 for example. It looks like udder crap. My point is, a PC first game ported to console will ALWAYS be of lesser quality, thats just a given.

    Just so everybody knows, there's another larger Counter-Strike patch comming which will include everything Condition Zero has. The only thing the people who buy it get are 1.)Graphical upgrade, 2.)Single player missions. They want to meld the CZ and CS communities into one giant throbbing pulsing oozing abomination. With tentacles of "dewm"

    Yes.



    Seriously though what I said was fact. Like it or not....reading the article that said that makes me not want to buy CZ anyway.
