CS2 Team Deathmatch server: team spawns, no spawn protection, Dust2 Unlimited

Run classic Team Deathmatch in CS2: each team respawns at its own side, spawn protection off with mp_respawn_immunitytime 0, bots to fill teams, and Dust2 Unlimited, the Source-era TDM favourite, on Workshop.

CS2 Rush mode server: play 4v4 or 5v5 instead of 3v3

Host the new CS2 Rush mode on your own server. Valve caps it at 3v3 because rush_001 has 3 spawns per team; mp_randomspawn 1 lifts that to 4v4 or 5v5. Plus Wingman at 3v3 or 4v4.

CS2 server crashes on map change (GOTV on): the one-line fix

Your CS2 dedicated server crashes and kicks everyone when the map changes, but only with GOTV on and players connected. Add bot_join_delay to server.cfg. Why it happens (a Valve bug), when it hits, and what does not work.

CS2 practice server: nade config, lineups, and the maps everyone uses
