    The difference between csgo and cs2 is similar to cs 1.6 to cs source. Its a major change of engine with brings in other changes with it.

      Why is it called CS2, though, instead of CS4? I mean, it’s the fourth game in the series, isn’t it?

      1. CS
      2. CS:Source
      3. CS:GO
      4. CS2???

        because source wasn’t a sequel to them, just an engine port. Why counterstrike 2 is called 2, imo, just because Source 2

        Being a new game in a series doesn’t necessarily mean that its the next numbered game, especially to valve. Technically speaking, the other counterstrike project (Condition Zero, single player content) is also a thing.

          They should have called it CS: Source 2, then. The game hasn’t changed enough to be considered a sequel. They made the same amount of improvements to this one as they always have in the last. Doesn’t make sense to call it a full-blown sequel.

          They probably figured that if Blizzard could get away with calling it Overwatch 2, despite being the same game, they probably could too.

            Hence “to them”, not to people. They did make changes. But that doesnt stop what they think. Your opinion doesnt change what they think.
