Overview
Portal 2: Community Edition is a mod for 
Portal 2 developed using licensed code from Valve, that aims to make useful tweaks and additions to the game for mappers and modders. It's designed to be used as a base for custom maps and other Portal 2 mods, though it will also include its own campaign to show off some of the new features.
While there is no set release date, a P2CE developer has stated that the release target is "within 2 years", as they don't want to keep people from using it any longer than they have.[1] They also hope that the project will enter an open beta state "within 1 year", as at that time hammer wouldn't be necessary to play the game due to both the offical and community made campaigns and standalone maps.[citation needed]
Portal 2: Community Edition is based on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's engine branch. Therefore, much of the documentation on this wiki pertaining to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive may also apply to Portal 2: Community Edition.
