How to Change Map on your Counter Strike 2 Community Server
Counter Strike 2 community servers allow you to set a default map that loads when players join the server. You can use any of the built-in CS2 maps and configure them through your control panel.

#Common Default Maps
Below are some commonly used maps in CS2 community servers:
| Map Name | File Name |
|---|---|
| Mirage | de_mirage |
| Inferno | de_inferno |
| Dust II | de_dust2 |
| Anubis | de_anubis |
| Ancient | de_ancient |
| Nuke | de_nuke |
| Overpass | de_overpass |
| Vertigo | de_vertigo |
| Office | cs_office |
| Italy | cs_italy |
You can find all available default maps by navigating to the Files tab in your control panel and opening: /game/csgo/maps
#Setting the Default Map
To change your server’s default starting map:
- Navigate to your control panel and Stop your server.
- Go to the
Configtab. - Find the Map field and enter the map name (e.g.,
