How Public works

Public is casual Counter-Strike 2 on the classic bomb and hostage maps, with more players than a 5v5 match. Join when you like and leave when you like: nobody is waiting on you to finish a match.

Rounds last just under two minutes, 24 rounds per map with a half-time side swap, and you buy as usual. From the third round supporters can also pick their guns from a weapon menu, everything except the Negev.

Teams are balanced by skill automatically, and the server keeps its own rank for every player.

How to get a Public game going

The Public server sleeps until somebody schedules a game. Pick Public and a time on the Fill to Play page; the game is posted on our Discord, people say they are in, and the server starts ten minutes before. Games already scheduled here are listed near the top of this page.

Map pool

11 maps in rotation on the Public server. They download by themselves when you join.

  • Dust 2
  • Mirage
  • Inferno
  • Nuke
  • Overpass
  • Ancient
  • Anubis
  • Vertigo
  • Train
  • Office
