So, I’ve been messing around with “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive” lately, trying to spice things up in my custom games. It’s a classic, right? This game has been around for ages, part of the whole Counter-Strike series. They launched it back in 2012 for a bunch of platforms, and it even went free-to-play in 2018. Anyway, I wanted to share some cool stuff I learned about using commands in the game.
First off, I really dived into the console commands. It’s pretty awesome what you can do with them. Like, I found this command, “mp_restartgame 1”. What it does is restart the game instantly. The “1” is for a one-second delay before the restart, but you can change it to whatever, like “mp_restartgame 5” for a five-second delay. Super handy when you just wanna reset things quickly.

Then, I started playing around with binding commands to keys. This makes things so much faster. I tried binding the “Thanks” voice command to the Y key. I just typed “Bind Y ‘say Thanks’” into the console. Now, every time I press Y, my character says “Thanks” in the game. It’s a small thing, but it feels cool to customize stuff like that.
- I also messed with “hud_takesshots”. Setting it to 0 or 1 either disables or enables automatic screenshots at the end of a match. I turned it off because I like picking my own screenshots, you know?
Honestly, I spent a whole afternoon just trying out different commands. It’s kind of addictive, seeing what each one does. And it’s not just for fun. I can see how these commands can really improve your gameplay, especially if you’re setting up custom matches or practicing.
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to in CS:GO. It’s pretty cool how much depth there is to this game, even after all these years. If you’re into CS:GO, I definitely recommend checking out these commands. It makes the whole experience a lot more personal and, honestly, a lot more fun.
