According to veteran CSGO journalist Richard Lewis, a beta version of Counter Strike 2 could be released as early as March 2023. Talk of Counter Strike 2 began when CS Twitter user “gabefollower”noticed CSGO 2 executables in an NVIDIA driver update. After that, Richard Lewis published a report saying that a new game is just around the corner and will be released soon. Moreover, he also talked about the changes in the new game.
What can players expect from CSGO 2?
According to Richard Lewis, the new iteration will have 128 tick servers, which is a feature of rival shooter Valorant. Moreover, the matchmaking system will be improved in Counter Strike 2. This will allow players to bypass third party platforms such as FACEIT and ESEA. These platforms provide players with 128 tick servers, improved matchmaking, and enhanced cheat protection.
According to Richard Lewis’s sources, the CSGO issues have gone unaddressed for some time. They stated, “It’s a big priority to get it out and then polish it up, fix any bugs, and bring it up to the level that people expect from CS.”This is good news for all die-hard fans of this franchise.
Will I have my own skins in CSGO 2?
The skin economy is an important part of CSGO, which is why many players wonder if they will lose their skins in the new Counter Strike 2. According to Gabe Follower, the game will not be “Counter Strike 2″and will not be renamed at all. Most likely, it will be just CSGO on the new Source 2 engine. However, Valve does not confirm this.
