    The game sucks. Period.

    But thats not the point of my post.

    I got the game used, and liek I thought what would happen, happend. The cd key is in use.. so i have to go back to electronics boutique adn see if they will give me a new copy, or ill have to buy a new one.. or i can write to valve (via snail mail) and they will reset my key. So thats a bummer.

    BUT, here's what I wana ask.

    #1. Is that it? Honestly, the single palyer missions (other then the "deleted scenes"), are absolute crap. It's playing bots. thats it.

    #2. everything looks the same as 1.6. Kill me now.Apparnetly, all the screen shots iv ebeen looking at are all from the company who was first making it,and then got dropped (hence the delete scenes game of CZ). I know they came out with an update for CZ, but i cant get it yet because of the cd key problem. But i dont think there are new missions. Maybe they finsihed makiing all the single player missions and thats what the whole deleted scenes thing is.Anyways, I hope everything looks better in the 1.1 update

    #3. and the big problem. I put my video settings on D3D. i do this with CS 1.6 and works fine. When I do it with CZ, it says that video mode is incompatible or something.. is this my problem, or the games?

    well i took back the used one and got a new one and ive been playing it lately.

    the update has made it much better, so im happy with that.

    im sitll having the same problems with video modes, but now its that i cant use opengl, and only d3d. before it was no d3d, and only opengl.. lol

    but, yeah i got the update to date everything. i make a point of doing that.

    i put the omega drivers in, then the install my cs cz a few hours later, played for a bit, exited, and my resulotion was all messed up. it didnt know what video card i had, nothing. i checked the device manager and there was the nice yellow question mark beside the display adapter.. lol. I had to reinstall the drivers and everything.. i put the dell ones back on for now.

    the omega drivers were working fine before i put cz in.. ahha.. ah well.

    If you read any of the reviews that whats they all said about the game. A good place is www.gamespot.com.

    Besides what would it be besides cs with official bots. They are better than any of the comericial bots and are more dynamic.

    As for not working with your computer did you make sure you had all the latest updates? That usually fixes any problems like that, latest patches and latest video drivers.

    Very odd, I've never heard of a game screwing up the video drivers.
