Modders Showcase Source 2 Engine Port of CS:GO in a Six‑Month Build
A YouTuber known as Maxim Poletaev revealed early gameplay on the Gabe Follower 2 channel, focusing on CS:GO running on the Source 2 engine. Valve has yet to commit to porting the shooter to the newer engine, so a dedicated group of modders took matters into their own hands to explore the possibilities.
The clip captures what six months of work can achieve. The creators claim that their project contains no code from the original game. Everything runs on Sbox, the platform created by Garry’s Mod, designed to streamline the addition of new mechanics without risking interference with the base game code. This approach aims to keep the underlying logic intact while letting fresh features emerge in the new environment.
Viewers should be aware that the game is still early in development. Because the project is only half a year old, some visual quirks and rough edges in gameplay are expected. These issues are typical during rapid experimental work and often get refined as the project matures.
In the coming weeks, the creator plans another video to delve deeper into the development journey. The new installment will detail the obstacles the team encountered and the technical choices made along the way.
Meanwhile, industry news continues to roll in. Earlier this week Valve shared a recap highlighting the most played titles of the past seven days. Among them, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered landed in third place, underscoring how live service and remastered releases continue to draw large audiences across PC and console ecosystems. The broader market context also notes shifts in platform policies that influence how players access and enjoy games across regions, including Turkey. The conversations around digital storefronts and regional restrictions remain a hot topic for players and developers alike. (VG Times)
