Map (console command)

The map console command loads the specified map and starts a game on it.

Warning:For multiplayer games, this command will kick everyone from your server before changing the map, or does a hard change, so to speak. If you want to soft change your map from console use the changelevel command.

Usage

map mapname <gamemode> (omit the .bsp extension)

Can access both maps in mounted VPKs and in the maps\ folder. Maps that are in a subdirectory of maps\ need to have the folder name included in the console command.

Example: map de_dust2 deathmatch

In , the optional gamemode parameter can be deathmatch, casual, competitive, armsrace, coopstrike ... etc. For a list of these gamemode parameters and more details, see CSGO_Game_Mode_Commands.
