New CZ Mission Pack Collection, "Project Réunir"

[Litude]

This is a pack that includes four mission packs that cover maps that were included in the Counter-Strike Beta, in Counter-Strike between version 1.0 and 1.5, maps that were cut from Condition Zero during its development and finally maps from Counter-Strike Online.

You can download it (v1.04) from:
https://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/6490

YOU NEED TO UNINSTALL OLD VERSIONS OF THE PACK BEFORE UPDATING!

All maps included in the pack have hand tuned bot navigation files, overviews and detail texture support included.

Counter-Strike Beta Map Pack
The Counter-Strike Beta map pack includes the maps as_forest, as_riverside, cs_alley, cs_bunker, cs_desert, cs_docks, cs_facility, cs_hideout, cs_iraq, cs_mansion, cs_prison, cs_ship, cs_shoothouse, cs_station, cs_tire, cs_wpndepot, cs_zoption, de_fang, de_jeepathon2k, de_mirage, de_railroad, es_frantic, es_jail and es_trinity.

The mission pack takes you through all the maps excluding the escape type maps and cs_mansion and de_jeepathon2k. One can choose not to install cs_mansion and de_jeepathon2k by unticking "Optional Maps" during installation.

Furthermore, the mission pack also uses some alternate player models that look more similar to the original Counter-Strike models.

Counter-Strike Map Pack
The Counter-Strike map pack includes the maps as_highrise, as_tundra, cs_arabstreets, cs_thunder, de_foption, de_rotterdam, de_storm2 and de_vegas.

In addition, the mission pack takes you through all Counter-Strike 1.6 maps that didn't get updated for Condition Zero.

Furthermore, the mission pack also uses some alternate player models that look more similar to the original Counter-Strike models.

You can also choose to install the training room maps which were included in the retail version of Counter-Strike. It can be started directly from the main menu, though only in Counter-Strike 1.6.

Condition Zero Deleted Scenes Map Pack
The cut maps portion from Condition Zero, appropriately titled Deleted Scenes covers the following maps:

It also introduces the Akunin (based on Yakuza) and the Kidotai factions from Counter-Strike Xbox. The Drug Lord faction mentioned in an early preview and the SWAT faction is also included.

Alternate terrorist models looking more like the ones revealed by Ritual Entertainment on the official Condition Zero website are also used. Finally, the special Easter Egg model from Counter-Strike Xbox is also included when playing at higher difficulties.

The mission pack actually consists of two separate mission packs where you play as a counter-terrorist and terrorist respectively. These packs combined take you through all the included maps excluding the seasonal maps.

The mission pack also introduces the Asian Red Army (based on Japanese Red Army), National Liberation Campaign (based on Euskadi Ta Askatasuna), Red Beret Condottiere (based on Red Brigades) and Vigilante Corps (based on Irish Republican Army) terrorist forces, and the Korean 707th Special Mission Battalion, Taiwanese Thunder Squad, Japanese Special Assault Team, People's Liberation Army Special Operations Forces and Singapore Armed Forces counter-terrorist forces.

7-ZIP DISTRIBUTION NOTE: The 7-ZIP file includes all the recommended components. No customization is possible.

NOTE: After installation is completed, go to "Options" -> "Video" and make sure that "Allow custom addon content" is checked or this pack will not function properly!

Hey! I just wanted to say that I'm still having a blast with these mission packs.

If you ever need even more maps to fill any gaps, apart from those remaining maps that are to come in the final version of these mission packs (you named them in the readme), you might want to take a look at cs_thinice (custom map resembling the Deleted Scenes mission with the same name, using mostly the same textures and models), cs_compound_cz (custom port of the official CS: Source map) and cs_truth_cz (another one of the CZ beta maps, slightly smaller than de_truth_cz, it's an Hostage Rescue map and uses Xbox lighting).

Also, a couple of new dm_ maps have been released in CSO, dm_trainfactory and dm_warehouse, but I'm sure you're aware of that.

Thanks again!

[Litude]

Thanks for the feeback! ;)

I've actually done a bunch of stuff since the last update, which includes the two newly released CSO maps (sg_trainfactory_cso & dm_warehouse_cso) and the updated version of dm_checkmate_cso.

Something else I've also been toying with is the training room from CSO where I've merged the separate maps into a sequence of maps like the original CS training. Despite it not existing in CSNZ there are English voice-overs present, though sadly these have a bunch of errors which detract from the experience...

Another thing I've also been toying with is converting some of the CSO zombie maps into different game modes (cs/dm/sg) but I'm not quite sure whether I really want to venture there as it kind of breaks the "canonity" of the maps. It would give enough maps to create a separate mission pack for terrorists can counter-terrorists though.

Thanks for the tips on cs_thinice and cs_compound_cz. I'll have to check those two out. The Deleted Scenes mission pack could really do with 3 additional maps. As for cs_truth_cz, I've purposefully left it out since it is simply an earlier version of de_truth_cz and I want to avoid redundancies.

Don't have any ETA for the next release though as I haven't quite decided what stuff will be included yet.

Thanks, downloading the new version! So, if it's 0.95 and not 1.0, could this mean that there's something else yet to see the day of light? I'm intrigued!

Hey guys, i'm Tim from Canadia. I've been trying to start a channel based on game reviews and other related material that we all care about in the industry. From a player who's been playing CS since 1.6, I bring to you my 2nd official episode, a review of CSGO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsDMjiZ1Ma8 Anything such as a common share/subscribe/ or like would help me reach my goal of 1500 subscribers. Anyways, thanks a lot for listening. Enjoy, Tim!

Minor update to v0.97 fixing an issue where instructions wouldn't appear in the Counter-Strike Online tutorial.

[cambreaKer]

Amazing work! But I have a little problem, the Station map from CS Beta crashes many times.

[Krayz]

I figured it out, nice maps.

[Litude]

@ScooT9: What operating system are you using? Windows, OSX or Linux? Is there a specific place in the map where it crashes or is it random?

[入人λ³Vicגスℵ]

Amazing work! Absolutely awesome. Looking forward to trying this.

[Pioneero]

Hey! How are you doing? I just wanted to point out that there has been some official CS:S and CS:GO maps remade for CS1.6/CS:CZ. de_port, de_cache, de_overpass, even de_shorttrain... All are made by the same person

[QuantizedAnson]

Finally can play with those CSO/N:Z skins without buying them.

[cambreaKer]

The installer now dosen't work for me. It says that i don't have counter strike installed even though i have it installed.

[Pioneero]

Hey! Just found your CSCZ Information Vault. I'm looking forward to seeing what you discover. It's nice to see, after some years since I stopped the CZ Beta stuff hunting, that there's still people working on the history of this game.
