For some time now there have been rumors on the Internet that Valve is going to update Counter Strike: Global Offensive to its latest
????????In one of the latest NVIDIA drivers, a new game profile called “Counter-strike 2” was added to the NVIDIA control panel!!!
Apparently it has 2 executables:
– csgos2.exe
– cs2.exe pic.twitter.com/hWsWOh4YKV– Aquarius (@aquaismissing) March 1, 2023
All this can only mean one thing – versionSource 2 for Counter Strike is inevitable, although this is not very surprising, since, for example, the same DOTA 2 switched to a new engine back in 2015. But the question arises: how important is this for the game? When DOTA 2 moved to Source 2, it added the Custom Games feature, which was truly a significant innovation, and ultimately created the combat genre. But it's not like custom maps aren't being created for CS:GO – there are thousands of them! Perhaps with the transition to a new engine Valve will add something more interesting, but if this is really just an update to the mechanism under de_dust, the average player may not notice much when the transition occurs.
