Ingelore Clason
Hey guys, i just got counter strike condition zero and am having problems with it :Well i want to play online with other players, but when i click 'join server' it says it cant 'connect to master server to obtain list of servers'is it because the game cannot connect to the internet? or the firewall is blocking it from connecting?if it is connected, why cant it connect?andis it possible to manually add an i.p address to the game so i can manually join another server's game? if so, could you please infrom me of some server's that do host games?im not used to internet gaming so help is much appreciated.Any reply is gratefully appreciated.
If you want to directly connect via an IP address, it may be possible to use the console (hit ` (to the left of 1) - may need to enable in options), and type connect 12.34.56.7:89 replacing the bogus IP:port with the IP:port of the server you wish to join. Since FPS games are heavily dependent on your latency, I can't suggest any servers because I don't know where you are located (and I don't play CS:CZ anyways, so I wouldn't know what's good). It's probably best to get the master server connection up so you can join whichever server you please.
i still cant get the master server up. darned thinghowever, the direct connect method you stated seems to work, but i was unable to find any i.p addresses to connect to. i did find ONE but it was for a counter strike game, not condition zeromy speed is 56k or something like that i guess,if anyone is willing, please let me know any i.p addresses to connect to.and please make sure that it actually works =Pthanks

Unlike other Counter-Strike games, Condition Zero also contains a single-player mission pack with the player unlocking maps and more efficient bots as they pass certain requirements for each map while playing as a Counter-Terrorist. These requirements include objectives such as "kill 3 enemies with a Clarion 5.56" or "win a round in 45 seconds". This game mode is called Tour of Duty.
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero was originally designed to introduce a single-player Counter-Strike experience and therefore it has more in-depth single-player modes available than other entries in the series. In addition to two different single-player modes, the traditional multiplayer mode is also available.
The Tour of Duty single-player mode is the main single-player mode in the game. It allows players to play regular multiplayer maps in an arcade-like single-player experience. The basic setting is very similar to a regular multiplayer game as the game utilizes the new bot AI to enable the possibility of having team mates and enemies in the game. Each map has a certain amount of objectives which include killing a certain amount of enemies or rescuing hostages. Usually, some restrictions such as achieving the objectives with a specific weapon or within a certain time frame accompany the objectives. When these objectives are completed, the player earns a reputation point. Reputation points are needed to unlock the next set of maps and they are also used to recruit new or better team mates.
Starting with version 1.1, the game supports the possibility of creating custom campaigns for the game mode. Since the release of this support, numerous unofficial campaigns have been released online.
The Deleted Scenes part of the game is included as a separate bonus game. This part consists of major parts of the work done by Ritual Entertainment for their iteration of the game. There are major differences in game mechanics and weapon balance in this game mode compared to a Counter-Strike multiplayer game or the Tour of Duty mode. This game plays more like a traditional linear shooter like Half-Life than a multiplayer game of Counter-Strike.
While it was originally planned to have cross-compatibility between online players of Counter-Strike and players of Condition Zero,[2] the two games feature completely separate multiplayer communities in a much criticized move. For the most part, the multiplayer game itself is identical to that of the original Counter-Strike.
One major difference is the ability to add bots to servers. These bots function much like any other player taking up regular player slots. The server admin can freely choose the amount of bots they want to include in a server, thus it is also possible to play a multiplayer game solo without other human players using bots.
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero includes support for all the scenarios from the original Counter-Strike (hostage rescue, bomb defusal and assassination). It is also possible to play the escape scenario, but no such maps are included by default and no effort was put into enabling support for this scenario for the bots or the Tour of Duty game mode.
When Counter-Strike: Condition Zero was originally released, the hostage rescue scenario was identical to that of the original Counter-Strike. Starting with version 1.2 of the game, some quite major changes to the scenario were made.
The basics of the scenario still remain the same with Counter-Terrorists attempting to rescue the hostages (4 in all new Condition Zero maps) by bringing them to the hostage rescue zone and Terrorists attempting to foil their plans. Victory can also be attained by eliminating the opposing team.
However, the hostage AI was updated in version 1.2 to utilize some of the same routines as the bot AI does. Using these routines, hostages have gained the ability to find their way to the hostage rescue zones by themselves, that is unless a terrorist approaches them in which case they will run back to their original location. They also show emotions and react to their surroundings, signaling approaching Counter-Terrorists whether any Terrorists are nearby. In addition, hostages also have the ability to climb ladders. Since this updated logic is based on the bot AI, the absence of a bot navigation file for the map will revert the hostage logic to that of the original Counter-Strike.
The hostage models also received a make-over in version 1.2, coinciding with this major hostage rescue scenario update. These models were likely created by Turtle Rock Studios,[3] but they were based on hostage models created by Ritual Entertainment. As these updated models are hard coded to override the hostage models specified by the map file,[4] it is no longer possible to use map specific custom hostage models following this update.
Bots also fully support this scenario with Counter-Terrorists properly trying to rescue the hostages and Terrorists attempting to defend them. The Tour of Duty game mode also has several scenario specific tasks available for hostage rescue.
Bomb defusal functions exactly like it does in the original Counter-Strike. One player on the Terrorist team starts off with a bomb which has to be planted at one of two bombsites. Once planted the bomb will detonate after a specific amount of time and successful detonation will lead to victory for the Terrorist team. Counter-Terrorists may attempt to defuse the bomb and successful defusal yields victory to the Counter-Terrorists. Victory can also be attained by eliminating the opposing team.
While no new assassination maps were introduced with Condition Zero, the fact that all maps from the original Counter-Strike are included means that the lone assassination map Oilrig is part of the game. Gameplay remains identical to the original game, but other updates were made to support the scenario. To complement the new player models, an upgraded player model is introduced for the VIP.
The official bots also support playing this scenario, but it can be argued that this support was mostly an afterthought. Bots that take the role of the VIP will properly strive to reach escape zones in maps. However, they play like any regular bot making no additional efforts at keeping oneself alive. This is especially apparent when a bot VIP runs out of the limited pistol ammunition, as it will attempt to charge at any encountered enemies armed only with a knife.
With the introduction of custom campaign support for the Tour of Duty mode, a scenario specific task for the assassination mode, which entailed killing the VIP, was also introduced.[5] However, despite this task getting implemented it doesn't work properly and can in fact never be achieved.[6] Additionally, starting an assassination map via the Tour of Duty game mode will incorrectly identify the map as a hostage rescue scenario during the loading screen.
