A \u201chackerone\u201d update shipped by Valve today has the Counter-Strike<\/em> community’s ears perked, with many suggesting changes to Global Offensive’s<\/em> long-standing exploit reporting policy potentially signifies Counter-Strike 2<\/em> is nearly here.<\/p>
The policy change means CS:GO\u2019s<\/em> exploit and vulnerability reporting system will for all intents and purposes now be ineffective, according to eagle eye devs and CS <\/em>gamers. In particular, a “June 14” date mentioned in the policy changes has whipped fans into a frenzy\u2014and we have to admit even we’re a little excited.<\/p>
Eager Counter-Strike <\/em>fans deduced this specific date, buried deep in the May 31 update<\/a>, could actually be the long-awaited CS2 <\/em>release date and they’re so excited they’re already circling the day on their calendars.<\/p>

Other players realized this time period fits perfectly into their holiday periods<\/a>, giving them near-countless hours to delve into the many changes CS2<\/em> will have to offer.<\/p>
All that being said, not everyone is excited. Some fans said they aren’t actually ready to dive head-first into the CS2 <\/em>hype. CS:GO<\/em> fans went through the daily series of CS2<\/em> release posts before the beta arrived, and it seems gamers think we could be getting another batch<\/a> before anything real actually lands on servers.<\/p>
To be fair, we haven\u2019t heard much from Valve since the beta ended.<\/p>
The CS2 <\/em>devs have kept their cards quite close to their chest, really only sharing the ambiguous ‘Summer 2023’ date<\/a>.\u00a0But, as that vague date draws near, gamers and esports teams alike have been preparing themselves for its arrival.<\/p>
Teams like The Mongolz have swapped players<\/a> out to bolster their roster before CS2\u2019s<\/em> arrival\u2014and there\u2019s a boatload of changes rumored too<\/a>. Elsewhere, legends like Hiko are considering making a return<\/a> once CS2<\/em> returns.<\/p>
