What does Source 2 mean for csgo?

[RAt]

Short answer, better graphics, easier mapping, slightly better fps. That's literally it. Stop getting hyped


Long answer, it's hard to say how much it will impact the game, it sure would look much better but it won't matter cuz you still need to focus on enemy players and objectives. Sure it will look... not source 1-esc, but it won't matter much. Mapping. Currently mapping is a nightmare in source 1, hammer, the game editor for source 1 games is a living hell to work with. An easier way people found to map is to use a map editor for Half-Life : Alyx and backporting the stuff you made there back in a modified version of Hammer (no way in hell anyone with experience will map using the base mapping editor). But it's still an annoyance to do this because the map will quickly get very big in size, like a lot of gb, and it's more complicated to remove all of that memory. Source 2 for csgo for mappers would mean way easier mapping and remove so many steps to make a good map for source 1
Better fps, yeah, not really that much better, but it is something.

People think that source 2 will magically improve the game on so many levels, but it will create problems that we would previously wouldn't have. So stop getting overhyped, it's gonna be a mid update.

As for when it will release? Well if Valve postpones a major then we can know they'll port csgo to source 2, but they already announced the next major in France. So my realistic guesses are either November or December this year, or after whenever the France major ends. They can't release source 2 during a major or before a major starts, maybe only as public beta tests, but nothing more

Thanks for reading this rant, I'll go now and sleep

Ohh and completely forgot to add to my post, there have been many verifiable leaks about source 2 being in developing for csgo (also half life citadel and half life X, that's what I'm hyped about). All of those leaks are happening on Twitter and reddit, and Valve even took steps to stop those leaks from happening, the csgo dev version got deleted and maybe got renamed to something like "owjehdoidhqkoqodbdnz" and the devs privated their accounts so no one can spy on them

Since csgo still runs on DX 9 and nothing higher, even source 8000 can't help anyting

I don't think they will port over the hole game but part off like they didn't with panorama, a fully ported CSGO sounds like more problem then fixing the issues the game have already.

[Bwoah]

They may bring a bit more ,,eye candy'' but not by much to CS GO if source 2 actually happens but dont expect to change what works now that would be a risk for them.

Vac it's pretty good it's just that it have never a chance to show it self bc CSGO it's a large game and yes it have cheating problem In Pro League and regular. It's vac a perfect anti no it's not and there are no perfect anti cheat out there.

When it's so much money in cheating it always be people there.

It means CSGO but with the graphics of Cyberpunk 2077.

So potato graphics?

[󠁳⁧⁧255h]

Mostly it means fetures of source 2 engene. That simple lol.
Energy efficiency ( higher Direct X API versions are more energy efficient if used properly ).
Might be a bit more FPS on modern systems.
Some graphics features used in Source 2 SDK. Shadows, ambient lighting e.t.c. if implemented by mappers. (most likely since leaks show separate map versions with _s2 postfix).

Probobly thats it.
