Well to be fair Valve have been periodically upgrading the source engine since that time, and the source engine in Left 4 Dead 2 and Counterstrike Global Offensive looks alot better than the one used for 2004. Even by today's standard the latest iteration of Source does look fairly good, but even I'll admit that Valve can only upgrade the Source engine so much. So with the upcoming next gen consoles it wold make sense to make a successor to the Source engine. Fan speculation and rumors have stated that the next Half-Life game (HL3) will be the first to showcase Source 2. Whether this rumor is true or not, I guess we'll have to wait a couple years after the next gen consoles launch. For all I know, the first game to use Source 2 could be Left 4 Dead 3 (which I pray isn't the case).
