Counter-Strike Online is a remake of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero targeted towards Asia's gaming market. It is being developed by Nexon Corporation with oversight from license-holder Valve Corporation. It uses a micropayment payment model that is managed by a custom version of the Steam back-end.

 

 

Weapons

 

There are 32 new weapons available in Counter-Strike Online, in addition to the "classic" weapons featured in the original Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. These include:

 

    * XM1014 - 12 gauge, semi-automatic combat shotgun

 

    * USAS-12 - A Terrorist shotgun capable of full-auto fire and feeds from a 20-round drum magazine.

 

    * K1A - A Counter-Terrorist Sub-Machine Gun. This is actually a compact counterpart of the Daewoo K2 assault rifle. Feeds from a 30-round box magazine.

 

    * MP7A1 - A compact sub-machine gun firing armor-piercing ammunition. Feeds from a 20-round box mag.

 

    * FN SCAR - A Counter-Terrorist assault rifle with a mag size of 30 rounds.

 

    * XM8 - A Terrorist assault rifle with a mag size of 30 rounds.

 

    * VSK-94 - A Counter-Terrorist DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) with a mag size of 20 rounds.

    * QBB-95 - A Counter-Terrorist Machine gun. MG version of the Chinese QBZ-95 assault rifle. Feeds from a 70-round drum mag.

 

Some of these rifles also feature a "barrel change" system. When the player carries one of these rifles, it appears that the player is carrying two primary weapons (normally one). When the other configuration is selected, the player is shown that he is changing the barrel, and turn the assault rifle into a semi-automatic DMR and vice versa.

 

[edit] Maps

 

There are several new maps available in Counter-Strike Online.

 

    * Tunnel - The first official death match map in Counter-Strike, The map is small with many structural obstacles put in place.
