A team of modders is currently working on a remake of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in Source 2 Engine, and have shared the first gameplay video from it.
The team claims that it took it around six months in order to create what is being shown. Additionally, it claims that this remake does not have a single line of code from the original game, and that it has created all the systems and mechanics from scratch.
For those wondering, the team does plan to release this remake to the public. However, there is currently no ETA on when this will happen.
Speaking of CS: GO, there is a fan demo/remake in Unreal Engine 5 that you can download. Do note though that this UE5 demo only features the Dust2 and Inferno maps. Furthermore, it does not have any gameplay mechanics or enemies to fight.
Enjoy the video and as always, we’ll be sure to keep you posted about its progress!

Lighting is better and game is looking slightly closer to Insurgency Sandstorm now, which already uses Source 2 Engine.
Gameplay is really outdated to me, though. Insurgency offers a much more intelligent balance between arcade and simulation. I don’t think I’ll ever come back to CS.
I remember really liking the guns in Insurgency, but I absolutely hate objective based gameplay, and the company that makes the games refuses to add traditional team deathmatch. It’s unfortunate, because I think they are holding their own game back by making that decision.
Yeah, no idea why they’re doing that, cos most people prefer this mode rather than domination, for example.
I don’t follow their news, but I’ve seen that sometimes, Team Deathmatch was reintroduced temporarily… why temporarily? ?
I don’t understand their plans.
Back in my days, Team Deathmatch was in every FPS…
Insurgency Sandstorm has a sort of unofficial TDM mode that’s only available in private dedicated servers (unless they removed it), however whenever I would try a free weekend all of the private TDM servers would be empty and the bots are so OP that they’d shoot your head off the moment you’d peak out from behind something.
Sandstorm uses Unreal 4 not Source 2
According to PC Gaming Wiki that appears to be correct. It says the game uses UE4.

that was the big deal about Sandstorm, is that it took Insurgency from a HL mod to a UE game.
Insurgency (the full game released on Steam) wasn’t a mod either. It was a standalone game with its own UI, game assets, gameplay mechanics, etc
Yes, the name “Insurgency” was originally used for a Half Life 2 mod made by the same team, however anyone who has played it will tell you that the final release of Insurgency on Steam was indeed a full standalone game and looked and felt nothing like a mod for a typical source engine game from Valve.
Source 2 came out 7 years ago. A huge disadvantage of Valve’s flat management structure is that there’s no pressure to get any work done in a time manner. An official engine port should’ve happened years ago.
yup. Hierarchies are important. You want the most competent to take charge and get sh*t done.
Nah flat management my balls. They don’t need to, so they just barely bother with games at this point, mostly as a medium to try something else like hardware or VR support.
A barrel full of diarrhea is all i see here.
Janky AF. I’ll wait fore the official conversion,,, if it ever comes, I don’t really care either way, but a better demo viewer and 128 tick servers would be nice.
CSGO is fine the way it is, still better than anything else out there.
CSGO is awful the way it is.
Im not at all impressed but im interesting.
