Source 2 is what powers CS2. It's a big deal because it's a significant upgrade from the original Source engine used in CS:GO. Better graphics & physics? Yes please!

CS2, being the latest evolution in the Counter-Strike series, runs on the Source 2 engine. This engine upgrade brings enhanced graphics, improved physics, and overall smoother gameplay compared to its predecessor which used the original Source engine. It's like giving an old car a brand-new, high-performance engine – the difference is night and day!

Honestly, just Source 2. But really, why fix what's not broken? The jump from Source to Source 2 is more about polishing perfection.

It's Source 2, folks. And that's a good thing. This engine is all about making everything look and feel better. Trust me, once you play CS2, going back to anything else is like trying to read by candlelight after you've used a flashlight.
