How To Add A Map Cycle To A Counter Strike 2 Server

Adding a map cycle to a Counter-Strike 2 server is essential for keeping gameplay dynamic and preventing the same map from repeating in every match. A properly configured map cycle allows server owners to control the order in which maps load after each match ends, helping maintain variety between custom and default maps.





  • Stop the server.


  • Open the "Files" tab.


  • Head over to the following directory: game/csgo


  • Click on Create File.


  • Enter the desired Map Codes.de_inferno | de_inferno_vanity |


de_mirage

de_mirage_vanity

de_dust2

de_dust2_vanity

de_nuke

de_nuke_vanity

de_anubis

de_anubis_vanity

de_overpass

de_overpass_vanity

de_ancient

  • Click on Create File.


  • Set the file name to mapcycle.txt


  • Start the server.


The map cycle will start after the current match ends.
