Portal 2: Community Edition

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.
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.
