If we're talking about a straight Source 2 port of CS:GO, the average Counter-Strike player may not notice a big difference—in theory, the Source 2 version will play just like the Source version.

At the start of the month, a few CS:GO fans found evidence that NVIDIA's GPU drivers have included references to "csgo2.exe" and "cs2.exe" since February.
