Why is it called CS2, though, instead of CS4? I mean, it's the fourth game in the series, isn't it?

  1. CS
  2. CS:Source
  3. CS:GO
  4. CS2???

    because source wasn't a sequel to them, just an engine port. Why counterstrike 2 is called 2, imo, just because Source 2

    Being a new game in a series doesn't necessarily mean that its the next numbered game, especially to valve. Technically speaking, the other counterstrike project (Condition Zero, single player content) is also a thing.

    They should have called it CS: Source 2, then. The game hasn't changed enough to be considered a sequel. They made the same amount of improvements to this one as they always have in the last. Doesn't make sense to call it a full-blown sequel.

    They probably figured that if Blizzard could get away with calling it Overwatch 2, despite being the same game, they probably could too.
