Portal 2: Community Edition enters open beta with enhanced graphics, larger maps, and new modding tools

Valve-approved free mod platform Portal 2: Community Edition has launched in open beta on Steam.

It upgrades the game to Strata Source with DirectX 11 graphics, larger maps, new scripting and modding tools, and broader workshop support.

Owners can play it for free, but the project is still buggy and demands more from hardware than the original game.
