Wormholes is essentially portal but that never got pulled. Granted, Valve asked them to make it free, but I'd this one is free from the start, wheres the problem?
This game is amazing, I play it on my friends Sony android and is an exact replica except the aim down sights with pistol and other weapons are a little wired but y'all get use to it.
It's not just that it's a copy of counterstrike. I think apple won't allow the game because it connects with pc and android users.
Good point... Apple likes to control everything, and having servers hosted externally by anybody may be too much freedom for them
Developers already host their multiplayer servers externally. Example, every Gameloft multiplayer game. Shadowgun Deadzone is cross platform, or will be I should say. The cross platform element is down to the developers own software and servers. It's very difficult to integrate all the different api's but it isn't in the developer SDK as a reason for rejection. At least I can't see it if it is.
Ah, nevermind. Dunno why I bothered typing in a reply. Simply, Apple does not reject apps because they are hosted on the developers own servers and cross platform play is at the discretion of the developer and not a reason why Apple would reject an app. Believe it or don't... The major problem cross platform has is if it doesn't follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
If game on iOS is the same as the web version, then I dont understand, what is the hype all about: it sucks very VERY VERY hard.
You've obviously never played the original Counter Strike so there's little point in trying to explain it to you.
Well, here's an early review of the Android beta that might explain some of its appeal. http://www.appdup.com/2012/07/10/review-critical-strike-portable/
You wanna make counter strike on portable devices? Go do it. Please. Right now. And make it NOT look like a cheap rip off.
I am beta testing the current build v2.62c and they did a full makeover of the Main Menu (I like it better right now) and I think the graphics is a bit different than the earlier build. The name of the app is also changed to Critical Mission SWAT. Maps from before are not available in the latest build. So there will be no resemblance from the Counter-Strike game. Even the Character's skins are different right now. I like the Zombie Mode. There are also 3 servers to join (US, EUR and ASIA). Still a fun game like the previous build but with no more trace of the Counter-Strike game. I think the game will be approved this time on the App Store.
