The new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is apparently based on the Portal 2 Source engine, as tweets of some pro gamers reveal.
One of the only ways to play CS:GO on official servers is via the Xbox 360 version of the game.
We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.
I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)
Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.
About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.
The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.
S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.
DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.
Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.
Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
Well they did say the game looked really good. Happy to hear its the Portal 2 engine.
.
Going by what Digital Foundry had to say about Portal 2 on 360, that isn't very good news for the 360 fanbase.
Valve needs to get with the program if they want to port games onto consoles. Yes, we all know the limitations of consoles at this point but with games like Halo reach, Crysis 2 and Gears 3 delivering incredible games/graphics with multiplayer and co-op modes to boot, there are no room for excuses.
Why would they use the Portal 2 engine and not the updated version used in DOTA 2 with improved lighting and cloth physics?
And "pro gamers" know this how?
You could imagine them sending this email:
Dear pro gamer, we are writing to inform you that counterstrike global offensive will be based on the portal 2 source engine just because you are really good at games and ought to know first. Go tweet about it.
Yours sincerely, your best buddy, Valve.
But either way, I'm actually kinda excited at finally getting the chance to play a counterstrike game because I've never been a PC FPS gamer.
Haha, So you got that email too? I WAS RIGHT!!! Yay. Iron the cookies out!! :)
Edit: lol forgot to reply to staystatic. :D Hate that
