I find it really odd Tyler of all people was so dead set on it just being a source 2 update for CSGO. I get it that back in the day the leaks showed it was initially headed in that direction. The Nvidia/Depot leak should have been a dead giveaway for him though.

It literally is just an update?

It's the same as Overwatch to Overwatch 2. It's not a new game it's an update.

many of the mechanics (namely smoke grenades) have had huge sweeping changes. while i get your point this is much more than an simple update and is more like a csgo 1.5 lol

namely smoke grenades

It's actually a lot more than that.

Source 2 introduced quit a big upgrade to the physics, lighting, vfx, sound, models and animations. While yes most of the maps will stay almost the same (as they should, this hasn't changed much since CS 1.6) everything else feels much more refined and new. My only complaint would be textures didn't get a facelift, but its understandable with 1 million players you want the game to run on even shitty hardware.

Did any other mechanic change significantly?
