The CS2 community server scene is having a moment. Steam community browser is back. Workshop maps are flowing. People want their own practice / DM / surf / KZ servers again. Here's the practical version of how to set one up.
You'll see a lot of arguments about tick rate. Practical version:
We default to 128-tick on every CS2 plan. No upcharge.
| Plan | Players | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Practice | 6 | 1v1, retake practice, aim_botz |
| Casual | 12 | Friend group ranked grinds, light DM |
| Competitive | 24 | Public 5v5 + spectators, prac + scrim duo |
| Community | 32 | Public DM / retakes / surf community |
| Tournament |
| 64 |
| LAN events, 5v5 league hosting |
If you're not sure: Casual ($5/mo) is the right starting point for "me and friends." Competitive ($10/mo) is the right starting point for anything public-facing.
The classic stumbling block. You need to:
+host_workshop_collection <COLLECTION_ID> in your launch options (we set this in the panel)maps * to confirm they loadedIf a map isn't appearing, 99% of the time it's because the collection isn't public. Check Workshop visibility before pulling your hair out.
GOTV runs on port 27020 by default. We expose it. Players spec via connect <ip>:27020. Demos auto-record into /csgo/ if you set tv_record. Worth turning on — useful for both highlights and call-of-shame.
SourceMod still doesn't have a CS2-stable release as of writing, but the Metamod CS2 plugin works for most use cases (custom commands, anticheat hooks, basic admin). Watch the AlliedModders forum for the latest CS2-compatible builds — we install Metamod / SourceMod for you on request.
Telling friends "open console, type connect 198.51.100.42 port 27015" is friction. Reserve a custom address like practice.bruce.lat with our free Subdomain Maker. Players just type connect practice.bruce.lat and they're in.
mp_autoteambalance 1 in a deathmatch server. Disable it.game_type 1; game_mode 2 for retake servers — defaults to competitive 5v5.
