Maps
Condition Zero introduces eight original maps and twelve remade maps from Counter-Strike. While certain remakes only have minor lighting changes, others drastically alter the map's appearance.
Official Condition Zero versions of the official Counter-Strike maps, as well as the newly-added maps, use the prefixes "de_" (Bomb Defusal) and "cs_" (Hostage Rescue) with the suffix "_cz" at the end (example: "de_dust2_cz"). All maps installed in the Counter-Strike 1.6 directory (cstrike
) can be accessed from Condition Zero as well.
The maps that were remade for Condition Zero are:
- cs_havana
- cs_italy
- cs_militia
- cs_office
- de_airstrip
- de_aztec
- de_cbble
- de_chateau

Maps made for Condition Zero can be played in Counter-Strike 1.6 as well, although some decals may not appear correctly.

Technology
Condition Zero runs on a slightly modified version of GoldSrc, with the addition of detail textures and the debut of the "CS bot", which can be used to simulate multiplayer matches or to increase the number of players in a real multiplayer match. The CS bot features excellent AI and have numerous configuration options to provide a better playing experience.
Development
Condition Zero was originally developed by Rogue Entertainment in April of 2001, who were forced to scrap the project after only a month because of internal problems resulting in Rogue's closure. Following Rogue's attempt, Gearbox Software was tasked with the job of creating Condition Zero. Gearbox's version was widely publicized, however, after many delays, Valve eventually passed the job onto Ritual Entertainment. Ritual Entertainment's attempt was eventually scrapped, however, their work was modified and released as Condition Zero Deleted Scenes. Condition Zero was finally completed by Turtle Rock Studios and Valve Software.
