Counter-Strike Nexon Zombies Adds Minecraft Like Map Editing Features

Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, the Counter-Strike 1.6 based free to play shooter, released a big update last week called "Studio Mode" which introduced some new map-editing features. Nexon seems to be trying to give its playerbase the tools to create their own game modes and maps to keep people interested in the game longer. The game has been averaged ~1,300 or so players online at any given time on Steam, which isn't that bad. In fact, it's more than the 30 day average for Nexon's other steam titles including MapleStory, Riders of Icarus, and Vindictus. The new "Studio mode" allows players to craft and share their own creations with others online and it looks to be borrowing elements from Minecraft and Gary's Mod.

Check out the Studio Update trailer below to see for yourself:

Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies has always been a fiesta of a game. It's basically CS 1.6 but with an oddball zombie survival mode. The addition of modding tools should really spice things up though because fans of the game are going to introduce tons of cool ideas. I mean some of my favorite Counter-Strike 1.6 memories were playing on modified servers with stuff like Surfing / Climbing / Jailbreak / etc. Perhaps Nexon is trying to bring some of that fun to CS Nexon: Zombies.
