Counter-Strike: Source 2, also known as CS:GO Source 2, has been the subject of many rumors in recent months, although we have never seen anything really interesting about this important project, although unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the valve. It’s not actually an official project, but an adaptation made by a fan.

Despite this informal nature, the truth is that never ceases to be interestingbecause in the end it is a very faithful adaptation and allows us to see the best that the jump to Source Engine 2 would allow on a technical level. Apart from rumors and speculations, we had nothing solid about this project, the situation changed drastically with the release of a video that shows the scenes real Counter-Strike: Source 2 games.

So that there are no problems with Valve, the person responsible for Counter-Strike: Source 2 assures that remade the game without having to use a single line of code from the original, quite an achievement, allowing him to launch and distribute the game without fear of reprisals from Gabe Newell’s company. However, you may need to make changes to the name as this could get you into trouble. He also confirmed that he plans to publish the entire codebase on GitHub, a clear move in favor of Open-Source.

The truth is that Counter-Strike: Source 2 looks pretty good. It’s obvious that it’s not a drastic change on a graphical level, that is, it’s not a big enough leap for me to consider it a current generation game, but the truth is that it seems like something positive to me, despite the initial it may seem the opposite. My argument is very simple and easy to understand, namely that Counter-Strike: Source 2 does not reach the level of graphical “realism” typical of a next generation title. to preserve the unique essence of the original.

We don’t have specific details on the exact release date of Counter-Strike: Source 2 nor about its requirements, but they should not be high at all and of course it should come as a title completely free. As soon as we have more interesting information, we will share it with you.
