The Xbox version of Counter-Strike is reportedly being developed by Ritual Entertainment and Valve Software, combining, according to sources, full content from the current version of the free modification with the upcoming PC release Condition Zero. Also a Ritual/Valve project, Condition Zero is a singleplayer game for PC set in the Counter-Strike universe.
Further to the combining of the modification and Condition Zero, the Xbox version of Counter-Strike will come with exclusive content. We can expect to see some new weapons added in the shape of a machete and a syringe (presumably employed for sneaky knockout tactics), along with new multiplayer levels and visual improvements.
Interestingly, it's also rumoured that Counter-Strike on Xbox players will be able to formulate their own customised gameplay modes. While no definite details on this feature are available, we're assuming that it means you will be able to create objectives outside of the standard hostage rescue, bomb/defuse and V.I.P. rescue formulas that exist.
