Valve has lifted the lid on the rumoured upcoming Counter Strike 2, announcing the game will arrive this summer as a free upgrade to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

The game will run on Valve's in-house Source 2 engine and will include upgraded, overhauled maps and in-game items from the original, alongside a slew of gameplay improvements and additions including tick rate independent multiplayer.

A Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test will also begin today for selected CS:GO players.

Will there be people saying that « it doesn't deserve to be called « 2 » because it's essentially the same game » ? I hope not because nobody cares

Anyway can't wait to play this. CSGO felt .... kinda « old » to me on some aspects, even more so after Valorant. Let's see if their « sub-tick » works as they say it does too ...

I was hoping for CS2 to get a new Steam App ID and not just be a DLC as I have a VAC ban. The Source 2 engine screenshots look fantastic. Would be interested to see how Half-Life 2 looks like with this.
If you were the victim of a false-positive ban then I'm sorry but overall not starting from scratch with no names in the ban list will be better for the health of the game.

I agree with you, it would be better if such people remain banned. I hosted my own server back for testing and something got triggered. Furthermore, I forgot to disable VAC. That was some years ago. I bought the game back then.

I know it's behind an expensive barrier for most, but Alyx was incredible and sits at 93 metacritic.
Emphasis on expensive.

Paying $1200 for a glorified monitor and controller for one game hurts, no matter how you try to rationalize it. And oculus stopped mattering the moment zuck bought into it.
