Valve’s approach to Counter-Strike 2 includes a meticulous categorization of maps into three distinct types. First, “Touchstone” maps remain faithful to classic scenes and core gameplay, providing players with a familiar foundation while allowing them to explore fundamental shifts introduced in Counter-Strike 2. Next, “Upgrade” maps leverage the Source 2 engine to introduce realistic lighting, resulting in more convincing reflections and materials. Finally, “Overhaul” maps represent a complete reconstruction from the ground up, showcasing the full extent of Source 2’s capabilities and raising the bar for visual fidelity.
