Half-Life, CS:GO, and many other Valve games were created with a game engine called Source, and while it was good at the time, over the years, it has become somewhat outdated. This is why Valve released an updated version of the engine in 2015 called Source 2 which is the current Dota 2 engine. Therefore it is only natural to expect that CS:GO will undergo a similar update. This potential version of the engine has been dubbed “CS:GO Source 2” and many players out there are wondering what that means for the current game.
