Valve managing director Gabe Newell has refused to tell whether Counter-Strike 2 is in the making.

Newell stepped onto the ESL stage to talk of Steam Guard, an account security feature which will use Intel's Identity Protection Technology (IPT), which protects the owner of a steam account from remote takeover.

Asked about Counter-Strike 2, Newell remain tightlipped about the possibility of the game being released anytime soon, saying that the company is now worried on shipping Portal 2 and DoTA 2.

He added that, after these two games have been released, then Valve can start thinking about Counter-Strike 2.
