The CS:GO engine branch CS:GO engine branch was introduced in 2012 with the release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It is the latest Source 1 engine branch available and succeeds the Portal 2 engine branch Portal 2 engine branch.

Note.pngNote:This engine branch has been upgraded over time, so some games or mods on this engine branch may not have all of these features. Many features are exclusive to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Features

New since the Portal 2 engine branch Portal 2 engine branch is:

Real-time dynamic shadows
env_cascade_light provides dynamic, high-resolution cascade shadow mapping for the outdoor light of light_environment.
Lightmapped Ambient Occlusion
VRAD can now bake ambient occlusion into the lightmaps for a map, leading to enhanced realism.
Bump mapped decals
LightmappedGeneric decals now support bump maps.

Newer Features

Phong reflections on Lightmapped materials
LightmappedGeneric and WorldVertexTransition now support diffuse Phong reflections.
Vertex lighting for bumpmapped static props
Static props with bump maps can now receive vertex lighting, better blending them into the environment. All static props also now receive better lighting.
Anisotropic reflection emulation
Brush shaders can now emulate anisotropic specular reflections using new parameters.
Bump map blending for LightmappedGeneric
Two bump maps can now be blended together for high-frequency and low-frequency bumpmap variation on the LightmappedGeneric shader.
Lightmapped_4WayBlend
A displacement shader that can blend four different materials together by luminance.
Prop combination
VBSP now supports combining selected static props during map compilation, increasing performance and lowering draw calls.
Increased engine and compilier limits
The engine now supports more entities, more models and more displacements.
Note.pngNote:Document all of the increased limits.
New first-person weapon lightning.
First-person weapon view now support more detailed lighting
Other improvements
Todo: Document these, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Todo: Celisej: soon add more.
