Valve blessed all CS:GO fans and players on March 22 by officially announcing CS2 and launching the beta.

On the day of release, the developers dropped three different videos, each one taking another aspect of the game under the scope. With them and a new blog post, we finally received an in-depth look at CS2.

As explained in the video released by Valve, the developers had three different approaches to maps in CS2: Touchstone, Upgrades, and Overhauls.

How did Valve improve CS2 maps?

The first category will see classic maps like Dust II and Mirage get a new look, mostly to “lighting and character read,” but won’t have any major changes itself, so it will be easy to shift strategies from CS:GO to CS2 on them.

The Upgrades category will see maps use new “Source 2 lighting, including a physically based rendering system that produces realistic materials, lighting and reflections.” And judging by the video, they look much better than their CS:GO counterparts.

The last category of maps improvements in CS2 is Overhauls. With this approach, Valve devs fully rebuilt the oldest maps in the Counter-Strike franchise, with the help of all Source Two tools and rendering features.

Other maps like Overpass have been featured in promotional videos and the rest was revealed by popular CS2 data miners like Gabe Follower and Aquarius.

The players hope that CS2 will release worldwide soon, but Valve has been as quiet as it can to maintain the mystery.
