And the Condition Zero media coverage keeps rolling in! GameSpot got a closer look at Counter-Strike: Condition Zero thanks to Ritual. The preview takes a look at the game's new features since the project switched developers. The preview is also filled with interesting details for you Counter-Strike fans. Here's a snippet:

There's a fair bit of new content in Condition Zero, so it's pretty surprising that the game is due out in the spring even though Ritual started only four months ago. How can Ritual create a complete single-player game in eight months? There are two reasons. The artists and level designers know the Quake 1 technology inside and out. Another not so insignificant factor is that Ritual has 30 people devoted to Condition Zero, and let's not forget that Ritual has another game in development, Activision's Star Trek: Elite Force II. It so happens that the studio grew to include more than 50 developers this year with the help of EA, which had Ritual working on a PC version of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
