CF worked for Gearbox Software, but since Valve moved the development from Gearsoft Software to Ritual Entertainment, CF could not continue with the bot.
I post this on the PODBot-website 13 december 2002:

Quote from Valve:
The primary development of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (CS:CZ) has moved to Ritual Entertainment. Counter-Strike: Condition Zero introduces single player gaming to the world's #1 online action game. Representatives from Ritual and Valve will be presenting the latest on CS:CZ during a seminar at the The CPL's upcoming Counter-Strike Championships in Dallas, Texas.
Quote from Gearbox's Randy Pitchford:
Gearbox Software suspended development of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero in July of 2002. Counter-Strike: Condition Zero introduces single player gaming to the world's #1 online action game. Valve Software has overseen development since July. Gearbox is aware of and endorses Ritual Entertainment's involvement. After developing several Half-Life games, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 and James Bond 007: Nightfire, Gearbox Software is refocusing its efforts on future technology and more interesting and innovative game play. Gearbox Software will be discussing Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC and our vision for the future of interactive entertainment at The CPL's December 2002 event in Dallas, Texas.

And then Ritual Entertainment stop work with the game (as Valve wasn't happy with them or so), and after all this mess, the final bot that came with CZ is made by
Michael Booth @ Turtle Rock Studios ( http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/CSBot.html ) as I am sure you alredy know and it is TRS that also is coding the official bots for CS:S
