      It’s just a graphical and engine update, it’s version 2 not a full new game. They’ll be able to make lots of small improvements over the next decades but the color gameplay hasn’t changed in 20 years and won’t change for 20 more because it doesn’t need to.

          I mean, it’s a free update, you don’t have to be excited or even play it. If you don’t like it then there are plenty of other fishes in the sea as they say

      It’s kinda a sport now. Valve has a model to stick to. Improving it beyond graphics is risky.

      It is the last one. It’s quite literally just an update to CS:GO.

      They just updated the engine a bit, but it’s the exact same game.

        Some of the other maps got significant layout changes. Dust 2 remains the same because dust 2. If they changed the layout on that map I’m sure they would get a lot of angry competitive players.

      it looks a lot like the last one, not very excited

      I don’t think it’s much about excitement and more to converge their games on Source 2 engine. Dota2 moved years ago and it was barely a footnote for casual gamers. This time the switch is more noticeable and for the time being even a regression (which some vocal people are very mad about which I don’t get about a free game).
