Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Report: Source 2 version of CSGO set for release with Counter-Strike 2 beta “very soon” - Dexerto WWW.DEXERTO.COM According to a new report, Valve is set to release the Source 2 version of CS:GO, Counter-Strike 2, as early as March 2023. Quote A new version of Counter-Strike, named Counter-Strike 2, is set to be released soon, sources told veteran esports journalist Richard Lewis. The release of a beta is expected as early as March 2023. Following years of leaks and rumors about a version of CS:GO on the source engine, files from an NVIDIA driver update at the end of February showed a ‘csgos2’ executable. This was the first concrete indication of a Source 2 upgrade for Counter-Strike, with the latest entry in the series, Global Offensive, released back in 2012. The beta for Counter-Strike 2, using the updated Source 2 engine is due to release as early as this month, according to Lewis’ sources. In case you're wondering, CS:GO is EVEN MORE popular now than when it released over a decade ago: 11-year-old CS:GO just broke its own Steam concurrent user record WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) has just broken its all-time concurrent PC user peak… 11 years after it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Crazy stuff. Even crazier that Valve might complete a game project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Counter-Strike GO might be 11 years old, but it was basically just an updated GaaS version of Counterstrike. Which means it's essentially over 20 years old, which means JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE PLAY SOMETHING ELSE. There are people who played this game in college who now have kids playing this game IN COLLEGE.

There are people who absolutely refuse to move beyond CS 1.6! Not CS: Source - CS 1.6! In fact, they've built ultra-powerful gaming rigs and still play CS 1.6 at the lowest possible settings because they want to run the game at 942 FPS so that they can pwn the n00bs who are stuck running the game at "only" 739 FPS. We're going to reach the heat death of the universe and the last thing to fade out of existence before the light goes out forever will be a CS 1.6 server. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I think people still play it because no one else has made an alternative that comes close for this type of game. And really, there is little incentive for anyone to try, at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I bought a physical copy of Counter-Strike at Best Buy back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
