PUBLIC CS2 servers: classic matches with the bomb · Questions and answers
PUBLIC is classic Counter-Strike 2 on community servers: two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, and the bomb. Unlike matchmaking, there is no queue and no lobby: you join a server at any moment of the match and play as long as you like, with no obligations and no penalties for leaving.
Each server holds up to 30 players, so there is always someone to fight. All PUBLIC servers are in Lithuania, in an EU data centre, which keeps ping low for players across Europe.
What you get on PUBLIC
Your skins work here. Everything you chose in the free skin changer - weapon skins, a knife, gloves, stickers and keychains - is visible to you and to every other player on the server.
Every round counts towards your level. You get XP for kills, assists and round wins. There are 100 levels, each with its own icon, and your stats are collected in your profile and on the leaderboard.
The MIX+ and MIX Pro subscriptions are optional. Their bonuses work on all CSMIX servers, and any bonus can be switched off in the game with the !sub command.
Maps and servers
Right now PUBLIC has 3 servers on these maps: de_mirage, de_dust2, de_mirage_christmas. The table shows the current map, the address and the number of slots of every server - the data comes straight from the servers.
In the list at the top of the page you can filter servers by map, hide full or empty ones, sort them by players and add a server to favourites with the heart on its card.
How to connect
The fastest way is the Play button on a server card or Quick play at the top of the page: Steam starts CS2 and connects you to the server by itself.
You can also connect manually. Copy the server address with the button next to it, open the CS2 console (the ~ key) and type connect followed by the address. Every server also has its own page with the address and the connect command.
Signing in on the site is not required to join a server. Sign in with Steam if you want a profile with stats, the skin changer and collections.
Rules
The project rules apply on every server. Cheats, insults and hindering your own team are punished. If you see a violation, send the !report command in the game. Your own punishments are shown in your profile on the site, and you can appeal them through a support ticket.
