The M60 is a light machine gun that appears in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, and that was cut from Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Counter-Strike (Xbox).

Overview

The weapon appears in Deleted Scenes, where it is mostly used by the AI. The player has 4 occasions to acquire and use it :

• Recoil
• Turn of the Crank (Located in a secret area)
• Alamo
• Rise Hard

Gameplay

• Enemies wielding the weapon have a very high damage per second ratio making them very dangerous, especially on higher difficulties. Some missions have bosses wielding this gun, so taking them out quickly is necessary.
• When hit by its fire, the player will get a wildly shaking screen with heavy blood sprites splattering all over. This causes both visual and accuracy handicap making combat and retaliation much more difficult, especially when using sniper rifles.
• Enemies do not reload when using the weapon, they will endlessly and continuously fire.
• Due to the nature of its caliber, the M60 does more damage than the M249, but has higher recoil.
  • Controlling the weapon requires 2 or 3 round bursts, which is fairly easy to pull thanks to the weapon’s slow firing rate.
  • Alternatively, aim for the head. One headshot will kill most enemies instantly.
• The M60’s ammunition reserve is not shared with other weapons using the same cartridge.
• AI with the M60 never performs melee attacks.
• While the M60 is commonly used by Terrorists in the Deleted Scenes, some Counter-Terrorist operatives can be seen wielding it. One notable case is the operative in Recoil fending off Terrorists at the extraction point.
  • Terrorist bosses often use this weapon exceptions being the VIP in Motorcade Assault, the Gang Leader in Hankagai and the Midwest Militia Leader in Rise Hard.
