Counter Strike 2 comes more than 10 years after CS:GO, which has been regularly updated with patches and minor improvements. Counter Strike 2 will see &quot;full overhaul maps&quot; along with upgrades and &quot;reimagined&quot; visual effects. CS:GO users will also be allowed to bring their entire inventory into the new Counter Strike game. CS2 will also enhance the game&#x27;s audio. The game has opened a free beta test for select CS:GO users where they will be &quot;be evaluating a subset of features to shake out any issues before the worldwide release.&quot; Counter Strike is a household title among first-person shooting enthusiasts in the Philippines, particularly professional players who have since retired and moved to first-person shooting game Valorant, developed by Riot Games. The Counter Strike: Global Offensive esports scene in the Philippines saw the rise of local first-player shooting stars, notably Valorant Pacific League squad Team Secret&#x27;s Jayvee &quot;Dubstep&quot; Paguirigan and Jim &quot;Borkum&quot; Timbreza. The trio of Deko &quot;Papichulo&quot; Evangelista Johnty &quot;JA&quot; Arone and Riley &quot;witz&quot; Go from Pinoy Valorant champions NAOS Esports also had their roots in CS:GO.
