Counter Strike on Xbox Details

A dodgy site that I can't link to wrote:Counter-Strike, introduced in 1999 as a half-life mod, a game that pits members of counter-terrorist units against terrorists, boasts the largest online community, 10 million in all. The other feature of CS is that it is PC-Exclusive. Both of those facts make Counter-Strike the most coveted trophy for any self-respecting console which wishes to sustain a successful online service.

Computer and Video Games have released new details of the upcoming XBox version of CS. Currently in development by Ritual Entertainment and Valve Software, the XBox version will include elements from both the current CS Free mod and the upcoming Condition Zero PC retail product.
In order to introduce the title to a new format, developers plan to offer exclusive content for the XBox. Hints of what that content may be are also mentioned. To start with at least two new weapons will be made available, the unassuming syringe and the machete.

A much more intriguing exclusive XBox feature however, is the possibility that players will be able to create their own customized objectives beyond the standard, hostage rescue, bomb defuse and V.I.P. rescue scenarios. Details of this aspect of the game, naturally, are kept under lock and key.

The successful transformation of this extremely popular PC title to a console game could prove to be a decisive move in the fight for survival in the console wars and especially in the fledgling online console gaming market.

Halo controls were damn slick. Every other fps I played on consoles made me dispise consoles but Halo's controls were perfect. For me xbx controller is just as good if not better than kb + mouse.

I hate playing fps on a controller, you really need to get a keyboard and mouse. My mates reckon controllers are better but I kick their ass with a keyboard any day

sweet I love counter-strike!

Halo's controlls were good for the game(I wouldn't want to play it with a keyboard and mouse) but I would prefer the key&mouse for CS

Somewhat agreed. I still haven't gotten used to the Xbox layout and prefer playing FPS's with my DC pad. That had one of the best console FPS setup's ever IMO.

Halo's controls were flawless in my mind...but i dunno about CS

There's no doubt the Xbox Cont. can handle CS, with a similar setup to halo... Yet there's also no doubt nothing beats a Keyboard and Mouse for any FPS.
