How to Play Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (Yes, Really)

Step 1: Question Your Life Choices

So, you’ve decided to play Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Bold move. Did CS:GO (or CS2) crash? Are you nostalgic? Or are you just lost? Either way, welcome to 2004.

Step 2: Understanding What You Just Installed

Condition Zero is like CS 1.6’s weird cousin who tries to be cool but somehow makes everything more awkward. It has single-player missions (yes, really), AI teammates that make worse decisions than your Faceit solo queue partners, and the Deleted Scenes mode that no one remembers.

Step 3: Gameplay Basics

It’s classic CS, but with AI that either:

Miss every shot like stormtroopers on vacation.

Wallbang you through three layers of concrete like they have aimbot.

Weapons & Strategy

Buy an M4A1 or AK-47. Because nothing else matters.

The AWP is still overpowered. Just like in every CS game.

Teammates will flash you more than your enemies do.

Bots will walk straight into bullets and then blame you for losing.

Step 4: Multiplayer? LOL.

Finding a server is like finding Bigfoot—rumors exist, but no real proof. If you do manage to find someone online, congratulations! You have now doubled the player base.

Step 5: Uninstall and Move On

You’ve had your fun (or frustration). Now go back to CS2 and pretend this never happened.

Final Thought:

No one plays this game.
