Whats the reason for not using source engine?

[Glumpfner]

Don't get me wrong, I love good ole counter-strike. I've been playing half life ever since it first came out, as well as playing CS back when it was still in beta. I also think games like Minecraft are great to show that graphics are not everything and I still play Duke Nukem 3D to this very day.

But with a newly released FPS in 2014, why use an engine that was released in 1998? Is there any reason apart from the nostalgic flare?

There could be a number of reasons.

1. PC gaming in Asia isn't as hardcore as it is now in the West. Especially if it is an FPS. PC gaming in SK/JP/CH is mainly focused on RPG's and Starcraft for the Asian market.

2. Techical reasons such as importing the zombie skins, items, textures and character modeuls etc from CS Online (also a GoldSource game) from Nexon.

3. The limited time and budget to have to re-create items for the source engine.

4. For Nexon to distence themselves from CS:GO and Valve Corp.

5. To only attact the "hardcore" CS fans

I agree with awesome-o except for point one, unless you mean hardcore as in high end graphics. In terms of skill and the popularity of the platform its huge

The reason this uses GoldSrc instead of Source is becouse it's heavily based on Counter-Strike Online (1) which used the said engine.

Counter-Strike: Online 2 uses Source Engine and is the Asian equivalient of CSS with microtransactions and such. Maybe we'll see Counter-Strike: Nexon - Zombies: Source some day.

1. Source engine sucks for CSS but CSGO is fine

Lord have mercy if they ever add Director's Cut or Championship Edition to the title.

Because, they used the source engine in a game which is better and similar version of this game, Counter Strike online 2! So, the different between this two games are original and better. I doubled that this game is using it to earn some cashs and use these cashs for the developments of CSSO2.

just going to ask this (tho I don't think anyone will reply to this) but is there any word from nexon about wanting to bring over Counter-strike online 2?

sorry if you get sick of seeing this but it would be nice to get some info on the matter.

thanks

If CSNZ proves to be popular on Steam, that'd be possible.
