    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
