Actually this maybe should have been named Counter-Strike 3. 1 was the original based on HL1, 2 is the Source version, and this should be 3. CS:GO is a variant of Source version with different gaming modes. I wonder if a GO version of this new CS will appear.

I do miss the FireArms mod of CS1.

Valve can't release things with 3 in the name.

IIRC the only reason it's called CS2 is because it's on the Source 2 engine
