It’s hard to guess what such a substantial change this might mean for CS:GO. Of particular interest for CS:GO, Source 2 features a completely reworked version of Hammer, Valve’s level editor. The game’s systems highlighted the great depth and potential of Source 2’s toolset, especially its physics engine, named Rubikon. The game was a massive commercial success and still stands as one of the most technically impressive virtual reality games produced yet. Source 2 found itself back in the spotlight when Valve showcased the engine’s great VR capabilities with 2020’s Half-Life: Alyx. The Source 2 version was developed as a separate client, only merging with the original after months of polishing. The update brought a variety of features and quality-of-life improvements, such as a new interface, similar to what CS:GO experienced in its 2018 Panorama Update, and much-requested custom games. The first game to officially be based on the engine was actually a pre-existing title, Dota 2, which was updated to Source 2 in 2015 through the “Dota Reborn” DLC. Source 2 is Valve’s latest game engine, officially completed in 2015 to replace the classic 2004 Source engine Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was developed on.

For what concerns CS as an esports title, the pandemic has revitalized a decreasing viewer base and allowed the game to easily handle competitors such as VALORANT. As a game, CS:GO is still breaking player count records almost monthly. It’s however unlikely that Valve will release a replacement or a competing product to their own juggernaut shooter, repeating the mistake made with Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source.
