Counter-Strike Neo is a Japanese arcade adaptation of Counter-Strike, the original Half-Life multiplayer modification. It is published by Namco, and runs on a Linux system.[1]
According to a recent article,[2] significant changes in this version localised for the Japanese market include moving away from the traditional Terrorist versus Counter-Terrorist scenario, using more culturally-compatible player models (i.e anime), along with incorporating a matchmaking and Elo-derived rating system to help keep players and teams on even footing.
The official website made available White Memories Flash novels,[3] Flash videos made by developer Romancework that have a continuing storyline and even some portions of gameplay that loosely resemble Counter-Strike itself. Unfortunately for curious foreigners, they are only available in Japanese, and the website itself can be hard to navigate without a translation tool.
The weapon models used in CS:Neo are the same as those used in Counter Strike: Source, but the prices for some of the weapons have been altered. For example, the Galil and the Benelli XM1014 have had their prices increased by $500 and $200 respectively, while the FN M249 now costs only $4750.
