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.
I can understand wanting to keep certain versions of games available for posterity, but this is just an upgrade to csgo, hardly anything they haven’t shown will change.
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.

It’s because it will still fundamentally be the same game. All they are doing is bringing GO from the Source engine over to Source2.
It’s a significant engine upgrade to warrant the name change, but the mechanics will stay the same*.
^*or at least as in flux as they remain now with constant tweaks and adjustments they have always made^
That’s because CS2 is just a platform update of CSGO.
