Counter-Strike modders are remaking the classic shooter, and they're using Valve's official Source Engine SDK to do it

There are 2 shooters that I ideate volition ne'er die, due to the fact that they conscionable look to bent connected contempt being incredibly aged and plentifulness of different games coming retired successful the mean-time: Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike (both Valve games, funnily capable - they've intelligibly got the Source (sorry)). Counter-Strike 2, which came retired backmost successful 2023, is the astir played shooter of each clip connected Steam successful fact, but adjacent present the archetypal crippled is inactive beauteous popular. There's virtually much than 16,000 radical playing it close now. And though it mightiness not beryllium official, a radical of modders person travel unneurotic to remake the 1.6 mentation of the game.

Titled CS: Legacy, the squad down it privation you to cognize that this isn't conscionable a fancy mod of the classical shooter, but a "from the crushed up" remaking made with wholly customized codification and archetypal assets. It should inactive person that aforesaid Valve consciousness to it, though, arsenic the full happening is being made successful the developer's authoritative 2013 Source Engine SDK, albeit with immoderate tinkering with its renderer, shaders, and a fewer different systems.

According to the trailer (which you tin person a gander astatine above), it'll beryllium coming to Steam successful aboriginal entree immoderate clip this year. It being a standalone happening surely mightiness suggest that it has the all-clear from Valve, which wouldn't beryllium that astonishing fixed however chill the workplace is with this benignant of happening - I'll punctual you of that OG Half-Life remake Black Mesa that came out… fractional a decennary agone apparently!

I'm not overmuch of a shooty person, nor person I ever adjacent played Counter-Strike, but I bash emotion a bully instrumentality task similar this, and judging from the comments connected the trailer, fans of the archetypal shooter look beauteous pumped astir this one.
