Xbox Counter-struck

Fire in the hole!

A few details of the Ritual Entertainment/Valve Software combined effort to bring Counter-Strike to the Xbox have been revealed. As well as tacking the original multiplayer game to the single player Condition Zero project, there are some extra features of interest that are apparently exclusive to the Xbox version. As well as being playable over Xbox Live (natch), there will be a couple of extra weapons, namely a machete and a syringe, and also the ability for players to formulate custom game modes. We're not quite sure what that last bit means yet, though, as details are extremely scant. More information when we get it.
