Most frustrating game I've ever played

Counterstrike Condition Zero would have to be the most frustrating POS game I've ever played. And to think I was awaiting it's arrival eagerly makes it especially galling.

The bots automatically target human players, and then computer players instead of doing what is natural and continuing to shoot at the original target aimed for. They also seem to pull off an amazing number of headshots, if done by a human player you'd be fair in accusing them of aimbotting.

Not only that, but computer players can see through walls, and even shoot through them. I have witnessed, through the first person view, a computer player kill another through a wall numerous times, and I've also seem them start shooting long before they could have known a player was there

And finally, they have this awesome system of if you want to play multiplayer, you have to go online... even if you're on a LAN.

In conclusion, this would have to be the most frustrating, and possibly the worst, game I've ever played.

well this game really wasent made for singleplayer. Valve was just making one more push before hl2 comes out to try and suck some more money up from the counter-strike mod. Cs 1.5 and 1.6 are great online, as that vac is finally looking up and doing a good job.

I dont have cz, but now that amazon has it for 20 bucks a believe i might get it.

From what I've heard of the game, 20 bucks is overpriced. Waaay overpriced.

It got horrible reviews and I wasn't planning on getting it. It cant be much better than the original counter-strike...and you can get that for free. Sorry about your misfortune.

For $20, you really can't go wrong. I got it free, a mate didn't want it any more.

I never liked counterstrike in the first place. I always stuck to Rainbow Six myself for my military vs. terrorists games.

Same here tomster.

Some of the more difficult games for me are those that involve simulation racing. You have to have perfect driving or you lose. Grrr :|

Amen... nothing annoys me more
But then remember how you feel when you beat the computer. It's like a personal victory over a dire enemy, so satisfying (Or maybe I need help for this hahaha)
