    This is dumb. Not even Counter Strike Global Offensive 2. Just “Counter Strike 2”

    Can’t wait for Half Life 3 to be rebranded as “HALF-LIFE” and then the sequel: “HALF-LIFE 2”, which is different from Half Life and Half Life 2

    CLEANER, BRIGHTER, BETTER

    :hypersus: why does everything need to be “cleaner” and “brighter?” Forgive me for wanting a game about terrorists blowing stuff up to be a little gritty

        It’s the same game but in a new engine. It’s more analogous to calling Skyrim Special Edition “TES 6”

          But every Counterstrike game is pretty much the same game but in a new engine. I propose we call this CS5. CS1.5/CS1.6, CSCZ, CS:S, CS:GO, CS2 (CS6).

            But you can literally transfer your inventory and stats over from CSGO lol. Sure, previous games don’t have stats and global skin inventories, but most games that are ‘different’ don’t carry your stuff from the previous entries over

            Why did they keep Dota 2 the same name? They also transferred it to Source 2

          Not exactly the same, but yes, it is an update. Youre right. CSGO will receive an update in the summer and be replaced. Makes sense as a rebrand though.

          I'm happy with the lightning changes, this makes the game more competitive. Pros currently use nvidia GUI to increase contrast ratio etc. so they can see enemies better. It's not a gritty game about terrorists, it's the biggest competitive FPS in the world

        Battlefield: Bad Company (maybe can be excused for being a console spin-off)
        Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (literally cannot be excused because it was also on PC and played the same as all mainline games, except for map design)
        Battlefield 3
        Battlefield 4
        Battlefield Hardline
