Add  <code>-console</code> to a game shortcut and it won't load background maps.
Running the game with the <code>-console</code> launch parameter will prevent it from loading background maps. There are three ways to do this:
 
* Create a shortcut to the game's executable, and add the parameter after the path in the shortcut properties.
You can also add this to the '''"Additional game parameters"''' in the Hammer '''Run Map''' dialog.
* If you are launching the game through Hammer, you can add this to "Additional game parameters" in the Run Map dialog.
 
* in your Steam library, right-click on the game and Choose Properties. Click the "Set Launch Options" button and add <code>-console</code> to the text field.
One last place you can add it is in the Steam '''Play Games''' window: Right-click on a game, and Choose Properties. Then click the '''Launch Options''' button and add <code>-console</code> to the text field.
