CS:GO runs on the Source engine. It's the same engine that powered games like Half-Life 2. This engine was a pretty big deal back in the day because it offered improved graphics and physics over its predecessors. So yeah, when you're nailing those headshots, thank Source for making them look so good!

Source engine, no doubt about it. Helps make those smokes and flashes look just right.

It's the Source engine. But, just an FYI, with CS2 on the horizon, there's talk of upgrades and improvements, so stay tuned!
