Does anyone understand how community servers fit in CSGO?



Is there a need to register servers for "community quickplay" like in TF2?

I heard that competitive mode is excluded from community quickplay, is this true?

It definitely says that matchmaking is disabled for community servers. Does this worry anyone else?

Is CS:GO going to be worth doing community servers for?

If there is any official documentation about this please share.

I'm not aware of any documentation, but I assume servers must be registered for QuickPlay, much like they are for TF2. This likely also applies to Lobby connects (assuming CS:GO is getting that too).

Have you had anytime to mess with CSGO?

I am trying to setup half my servers as 24 player FF ON and half as 32 player FF OFF and I want to do it from one install. But is there a way to have multiple gamemodes_server.txt files???

It seems that would be the reason if could override the gamemodes.txt but I don't know how to specify it in the launch command.

Nope. I'm not a big fan of CS 1.6 or CS:S. I only ordered the game for plugin development and the "open" beta for pre-orders doesn't start until today.

Today in Valve time, that is, which could be anywhere up until the game's actual release next week.

Where does it say this?

Inside the game itself. I think when you click on community quickplay.

you can only have 24 slots, you can set it higher but only 24 players will be able to join

From what I've read, Valve will be hosting all the quickplay servers themselves which are ranked (you can only gain ELO on these servers). To give players the option of playing with more players, that's where community made servers come in which aren't accessed by quickplay, but through the in-game browser. Xbox and PS3 players can only connect through quickplay therefore they won't be able to play with anymore than 10 players (community made servers).

I'm sorry you won't be able to make a quick buck by spamming Pinion ads on your CS:GO servers.

Well that is confusing since the menu options are "Community Quickplay" or "Find a Game/Matchmaking"

So what are supposed to be the normal player levels for CSGO? 10, 24??

I am not sure what you mean about spamming ADs since it happens when you join the server only but ok.

I am not worried about ad money I am worried about setting up the settings so I can create a couple of community servers that can actually be found. I don't want them kicked out because I set it to competitive instead of casual or because I have 24 players instead of 10.

Is 24 permanent or just for Beta? I don't have CS servers now but I see 32 slot servers in Source and 1.6...

So is 24 considered default or should it be lower for CS?
