Counter-Strike Online is a remake of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero targeted towards Asia's gaming market. It is being developed by Nexon Corporation with oversight from license-holder Valve Corporation. It uses a micropayment payment model that is managed by a custom version of the Steam back-end.


Weapons

There are 32 new weapons available in Counter-Strike Online, in addition to the "classic" weapons featured in the original Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. These include:

• USAS-12 - A Terrorist shotgun capable of full-auto fire and feeds from a 20-round drum magazine.

• K1A - A Counter-Terrorist Sub-Machine Gun. This is actually a compact counterpart of the Daewoo K2 assault rifle. Feeds from a 30-round box magazine.

• MP7A1 - A compact sub-machine gun firing armor-piercing ammunition. Feeds from a 20-round box mag.

Some of these rifles also feature a "barrel change" system. When the player carries one of these rifles, it appears that the player is carrying two primary weapons (normally one). When the other configuration is selected, the player is shown that he is changing the barrel, and turn the assault rifle into a semi-automatic DMR and vice versa.

I'm not sure I fully understand this, what are the major changes to gameplay that opt it a new game? Or is it just the same engine and more models and 1 extra feature (barrel changing)? I heard of a Counter-Strike MMO mod where levels and money would stick from server to server but never saw any offficial press releases.
