CS:GO Source 2 has been rumored for some time now, and fans of the biggest game on Steam are hoping that the online shooter will soon be updated with the same engine as Half-Life: Alyx. Well, CS:GO Source 2 is now a reality and even contains screenshots from the game. It just doesn’t come from Valve.
A team of game developers and modders, represented by Gabefollower, Valve’s long-time content creator channel, rebuilt CS:GO in Source 2 from the ground up using the community building platform and spiritual successor to Garry’s Mod, S&box. . The team claims to have remade CS:GO without using a single line of code from the original game and to have created all the systems and mechanics from scratch. At the moment, the project is still in its infancy and the first images of the game only show a “vertical cut” that will be constantly updated in the future. However, the team claims to have developed it in six months, which suggests that the full version will not take long.
In July, an exploit was used in Discord’s enhanced presence feature, which allows players to display game data on their profiles, such as score, duration, and map, to determine that a new version of CS:GO was being played. Map names used the “s2” suffix, leading some Valve content creators, such as YouTube’s Tyler McVicker, to suggest that this indicated that the studio was internally testing the game. Regardless of Valve’s progress on CS:GO Source 2, the Gabefollower team says it will eventually release its own open source version of the game. “Counter-Strike: Source 2 is a community driven open source project,” says the equipment. “We haven’t used a single line of CS:GO code and will eventually release the entire C# codebase on github.”
Recently, Steam stats revealed that CS:GO players have collectively killed each other for 50,000 years. There’s also a new CS:GO game mode where hitboxes are randomly assigned from round to round.
