The difference between csgo and cs2 is similar to cs 1.6 to cs source. Its a major change of engine with brings in other changes with it.

Why is it called CS2, though, instead of CS4? I mean, it's the fourth game in the series, isn't it?

  1. CS
  2. CS:Source
  3. CS:GO
  4. CS2???

Because calling it CS4 would mean admitting they made a "3".

because source wasn't a sequel to them, just an engine port. Why counterstrike 2 is called 2, imo, just because Source 2

Being a new game in a series doesn't necessarily mean that its the next numbered game, especially to valve. Technically speaking, the other counterstrike project (Condition Zero, single player content) is also a thing.
