What running a Counter-Strike 2 server involves.

A dedicated Counter-Strike 2 server needs a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) tied to a Steam account to be publicly reachable. The mode is set with game_type and game_mode (competitive, wingman, deathmatch…), and the configuration lives in .cfg files such as server.cfg.

For scrims and leagues, community servers often add Metamod:Source and CounterStrikeSharp, with plugins such as MatchZy to run matches. Steam Workshop maps are loaded with host_workshop_map or as a whole collection.

Frequently asked questions

What is a GSLT and why do I need one?

The Game Server Login Token links your Counter-Strike 2 server to a Steam account; without it, the server isn’t publicly reachable. Create it with app ID 730, then enter it in the startup settings.

How do I change the game mode on my CS2 server?

The mode depends on game_type and game_mode: 0 and 1 for competitive, 0 and 2 for wingman, 1 and 2 for deathmatch. Set them at startup or in the console, then change the map to apply them.

Can I install plugins on a CS2 server?

Yes, through the server files: most CS2 plugins rely on Metamod:Source and CounterStrikeSharp. After a Counter-Strike 2 update, make sure both are up to date, as they can stop working.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Compare the RAM, vCPUs and storage of each plan, then switch plans if your Counter-Strike 2 server needs more resources.
