This article really doesn’t say any new info. They made new updates, but they’ve been doing so since the beta started.

Welcome to games “journalism”
Yeah. Hope they release it soon though, the new maps look sick!
It said Summer in the trailers!
I think it’s so weird how Valve announced this game.
“Hey, this is Counter Strike 2, over twenty years in the making. Let’s start by explaining volumetric smoke grenades.”
Valve used to be able to harness the power of hype for its games, not treat them like upgrades or patches.
CS2 is Thesus Ship after the ship is repaired
It was the same if I’m not wrong for Dota 2 when moving to Source 2.
But as a CSGO player with “Only 600” I am very hyped. It’s subtle things, but I love them, sample fixes everywhere in every small corner. Game runs better which was not possible before? Yeah, before everything passed by one CPU core, now it’s fixed, everything will run faster. By tweaking some mechanics the game will play differently. CS2 is not like when a new Monster Hunter game gets out, Its taking a good game, and recreating it in a new place adapted to the world of today, with tricks we learned in the last ten years. Yeah it’s not a new game, yeah it’s not innovative at all, the only innovation would maybe be how they baked the light with a blend of old tech and new tech.
CS2 is Thesus Ship after the ship is repaired
I used to play CS all the time in the early 2000s. I revisited it for the first time in years and was surprised at how much the lack of aim-down-sight threw me off. I’ve gotten so accustomed to it now that it felt really strange to just be shooting from the hip constantly.
Aiming down sights was always a console thing. It’s extremely hard to make small aiming adjustments on a joystick, so game devs added a button to move the camera in and reduce sensitivity. CoD popularized it, and every FPS shooter wanted to ride CoD’s coattails so it’s pretty ubiquitous now. For a game like CS it would homogenize the guns a bit, since there’s a clear delineation between guns that can be scoped and those that cannot.
Hoping for at least a public beta on tomorrow’s 11th anniversary of CSGO’s release.
I haven’t been playing a lot of CS for a while, but this does not sit well with me:
CS2 will only be available on PC and will be free to play. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will be replaced by this game.
CSGO, despite being eleven years old, is now enjoying a golden time. Indeed, the game reached a new activity record four months ago with 1,818,773 concurrent users.
People are enjoying CSGO, and the owners are going to yank it because they don’t want to compete with its popularity.
Csgo got a lot of hype recently because of cs2. Also cs2 and csgo are the same game. It’s just an engine upgrade. There is no new content, it’s the same maps the same game modes, same movement, same items everything is the same. Just better graphics.
We’re talking about Counter Strike here, it’s been the same game for 20+ years at this point. Any two subsequent CS games are going to be very, very similar. Most of them didn’t even feature an engine upgrade like we’re getting now. Plus if you pay attention to the CS2 datamines, it looks like Valve have planning to add way more than just what they’ve announced so far. There most definitely will be new content.
Ok true… The question still is is cs2 actually a new game or just an update with a name suggesting it is a new name. And CSGO evolved so much why is the final version the one you think should be kept as a standalone game?
That’s because CS2 is just a platform update of CSGO.
