For over two decades, Counter-Strike has offered an elite competitive experience, one shaped by millions of players from across the globe. And now the next chapter in the CS story is about to begin. This is Counter-Strike 2.
Thats kinda the point! New engine for new cool features and graphics but same core gameplay. They’ve improved a lot of things. I think the CS audience is excited for this, but they haven’t done anything over-the-top different to attract net new players
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.
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).

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.
I played a few matches. It’s still the same de_dust2.
