Publishers Nexon and Valve will collaborate to bring the shooter Counter-Strike Online 2 to Asian territories, they said today.
In a press release explaining very little about how this will be different than older Counter-Strike games, the publishers write:

Counter-Strike Online 2 will offer enhanced graphics, more realistic gameplay and powerful impact sensations powered by an enhanced version of the Source engine. The game will also feature various game modes enhancing its original game experience with new and improved environments, weapons, equipment customization and more.

Unfortunately they may be releasing CSO2 only in Asian countries.

I've been so confused.

What is the point of CS Online? Also what is the point of CS:GO?

I don't understand. Vanilla CS & Source are doing well, no?

The older CS games don't attract new players, so updating the graphics/gameplay/maps brings more people to the game. It's a really complex and new plan of action I understand.

CS:Online was actually modified quite a bit, it had zombie modes integrated and, I think, some sort of level/achievement grind. IIRC, it was more different compared to css than cs:go is compared to cs 1.6. I expect CSO 2 to be the same, i.e., a not-exactly-cs game being called cs.
