    UPDATE (5/3/2015):

    Sounds like Source 2 is going to be absolutely free to use once it's available. However, any product you are wanting to release will HAVE to be on Steam. Which explains why Valve can release the dev tools for free.

    Holy crap, I really want to see how the renderers look, because if this can compete with Unreal, shit's going down.


    And I was just thinking about how Unity and Unreal both don't do level design well enough for me. I might have some ideas for this thing...

    That's probably just what it is, a rumor. If Valve hasn't mentioned anything about CSGO going to Source 2, then there's no reason to go all crazy about it imo.


    Off course you can still start new maps, even if Source 2 is just around the corner. I can't imagine there won't be an easy way to port what you already made to Source 2 and go from there.

    Well I will continue with my plans. Surely we will see a Counter strike with Source 2 in the coming years.

    Logically, if they can port the game over it will be possible to port maps over.

    As it is this press release is a joke, we knew Source 2 was coming. we just need to see what it can do.

    Hopefully they'll show the engine tomorrow, they must!, since they are talking renderin.

    On daily business, there's no much point in porting a map over, if they don't port the game.

    I know it's asking much, but i really hope the new toolkit will be back compatible allowing to make and compile for CSGO and hopefully other Valve games.

    Edit: WAIT A MINUTE! The press release days "free for content developers"!!

    This doesn't sound at all like Epic or Unity are doing. Sounds like engine will still be tied to games to me :/

    Of course it's awesome that Source 2 will finally arrive. But it feels kinda like a left over after the big announcements of Epic and Unity. Also no video or screens of the new tech yet...

    Come to think of it, this is pretty lame. Yeah, Source 2 will come, as if we didn't know that already, but we ain't showing you dick yet. I would have preferred that they waited until they were ready to show something. I know, some people can never be satisfied.

    I agree that the Unreal stuff has managed to totally overshadow this. Volvo feeling competition for once!??

    I guess it's kind of a good thing (for Valve) that they didn't show it off. It'd probably be better for Valve to show off Source 2 once the hype for UE4 has died down so they don't have to compete with the noise UE4 is making?
