Minh Le, one of the two creators of the original Counter-Strike, has been hard at work on creating a new game, and though it isn't labeled as "Counter-Strike 2," it can be seen as a successor in spirit. Titled "Tactical Intervention" it retains many of the same themes of Counter-Strike, pitting a force of agents against terrorists to accomplish various objecives like the familiar hostage rescue. Minh still seeks to create his own game, though, and wants it to play faster than traditional CS, addressing issues such as camping by speeding up the gameplay. He is said to expect round times to be typically under two minutes. Minh also introdouces some new elements to the gameplay, such as adding controlable attack dogs, and hostages that actually move about the area and react to situations rather than remain stoic like the hostages seen in Counter-Strike.

Although not much more is known about Tactical Intervention at this point, expect to see a beta soon and a release by the end of this year.
