Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 27 June 2022

CS:GO Source 2 update arriving in August, suggests TheWarOwl

24/6/2022 TheWarOwl has since said on a recent stream that he was joking.

FPS fans will know that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's 10-year anniversary is right around the corner on August 21, but so far all players have had to commemorate the event is the CSGO10 sticker event in-game. However, it appears that Valve might have a little surprise in store for the anniversary that will make the game look a whole lot prettier if rumours and a leak prove true.

CS:GO has infamously run on the original Source's code since its 2012 release, but rumours and speculation have only increased as the 10th anniversary draws closer. Now, CS:GO YouTuber and streamer 'TheWarOwl' seems to have slipped up mid-stream and leaked that the competitive shooter is being ported to Source 2.

"I'm honestly waiting for the Source update in August," TheWarOwl says in the video clip. "Oh, I shouldn't have said that." He could be dead-pan joking of course, but it should be noted that TheWarOwl was a software developer long before his YouTube career talking about CS:GO kicked off, so it would make sense if he knew what was going on behind the scenes.

CS:GO fans want to change the meta by making the M4A1-S pricier

Ever since the launch of Operation Riptide, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive fans have been calling on Valve to nerf the M4A1-S, arguably one of the best guns in the game. Last week, the development team did just that, reducing the gun's mag size from 25 rounds to 20. However, some fans think the nerf hasn't gone far enough.

And that's because, despite reducing the gun's mag capacity, it's not really changed the meta all too much. The assault rifle is still devastating in the right hands. Sure, you've got less bullets to play around with, but for top level players in the CS:GO ranks and on the world stage, this nerf has done very little to shake things up.

To counter that fact, many are now calling for the gun to be reduced in price. "Change the price of the M4A1-S and the M4A4," Jacob 'pimp' Winneche tweets. "The better weapon is still the cheapest option, hence why the vast majority won't switch. I love [that] CS:GO is addressing it, and I'm sure since they've taken an interest will gather feedback and adjust accordingly."
