About the Game

About Counter-Strike: Condition Zero

Updated 9 November 2026

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero is Valve's 2004 follow-up to Counter-Strike 1.6, with updated models and maps, a single-player Tour of Duty campaign, and the first official Counter-Strike bots.

It runs on the GoldSrc engine like CS 1.6, and its community servers still run classic bomb and hostage maps, often with bots and AMX Mod X plugins.

A rented Condition Zero dedicated server gives your group a home with your own maps, plugins and bots, in a location close to your players.

Trusted by Thousands of Gamers

★★★★★

Good pricing options, easy to use, brilliant support. Fantastic service.

★★★★★

I've used a lot of other hosts in the past few years and PingPerfect outshines them all. With my other providers I'd be lucky to have a response after about 8 hours. Not with PingPerfect, I usually get a response within a few minutes.

★★★★★

Great service! Great Staff! i wouldn't chose anyone else!

★★★★★

This is my first dedicated server I have ever hosted and the guys at PingPerfect made sure it was Perfect. Their support was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had regarding my server, and in game GM functions.

★★★★★

James R. was exceptionally helpful at transferring my server from a Space Engineers one to Vintage Story, Pingperfect makes server hosting super easy and dynamic and I'll use them for a long time

★★★★★

This crew stuck with me and we figured out that I was dumb. My mod issue was identified and the server is running great. The support response time was impressive. Thank you all!
