I’m still not sure how I feel about Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies. To me anything Nexon related has a bad connotation. I’m not opposed to some kind of official Counter-Strike Zombie offshoot but the game just looks so blah in screenshots.
The time has come to find out as on September 23rd 2014 Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies will be availble to beta test via Steam. Since the game will be free to play that will give us all a chance to really get in there and see if this is just same horrible cash in idea to use the two biggest tags on Steam together or is it actually something that’s super fun.
The screenshots sent along with this press release do not give me the warm and fuzzies. Already you can tell that they are using something along the lines of Counter-Strike 1.6. To their credit Nexon has added a bunch of modes to Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies to hopefully elevate the game beyond it’s older graphic qualities. They’re talking about 20 different modes that can be played on the 60 maps, which is a surprisingly large number of each to have at launch. Will you be playing or will you just pass on for another more robust survival zombie experience?

PRESS RELEASE
Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies’ Public Open Beta Date Announced as Steam Page Opens
Luxembourg, 10th September 2014: Today, Nexon Europe is pleased to announce the launching plan for the highly anticipated free-to-play Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, as the Steam page for the game goes live. The game will have its Public Open Beta on 23rd September, with a variety of modes, maps, guns, and character options in which to destroy the undead hordes.
A huge number of modes will be available, featuring both PvP and PvE gameplay. Possess and use, to a dangerous effect, the various unique abilities in Zombie Hero; lead a team of survivors to build and defend a base against continuous waves of zombies in Shelter Mode; or advance through intense Zombie Scenarios that will throw players into boss fights, among other activities. Even outside of zombies, there are more than 20 modes to explore, such as Beast Mode, Bazooka Mode, and Football Mode. Veteran fans of the Counter-Strike series will also surely be glad to see a number of offerings from the original iteration, such as Bomb Defusal and Hostage Rescue.
All-time favourite classic maps will be included in the game, such as the unforgettable de_dust, along with a selection of new maps, such as Big Tree, Camouflage, Rex and Greesia, and 60 others. The arsenal of weapons available will also be significantly larger and more diverse in Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, with essentials ranging from sniper and assault rifles to more compact PDWs and SMGs. For players willing to be a little more adventurous, weapons such as Dragon Claws, energy pistols, and sci-fi styled machine rifles are available in zombie modes.
A wide variety of characters are available, both male and female, terrorist and counter-terrorist. Players can select characters merely based on style, or they may choose a character with which to explore the story elements surrounding the zombie outbreaks and terrorist attacks unique to Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies.
“Both fans of Counter-Strike and players who are new to the game will have a full-blown shooter experience in a well-restored legendary FPS” said Kenny Chang, Nexon Europe CEO. “New weapons, new modes, and new elements inspiring new styles of play, mixed with everything that made the game such a classic in the first place are some things that we’re really looking forward to bringing to Steam.”
Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies will be playable for all those with a Steam login.
