## FAQ

### What is Counter-Strike 2?

Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) is the latest installment in the Counter-Strike franchise by Valve. Built on Source 2, it features sub-tick networking, responsive smoke grenades, redesigned maps, and carries over all CS:GO items. It is the world's most popular competitive FPS.

### How many players can join a CS2 server?

Standard competitive is 5v5 (10 players), but community servers support up to 64 players for modes like Casual, Deathmatch, Surf, KZ, and custom workshop maps.

### Do I need a GSLT for my CS2 server?

Yes, Valve requires a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) for your server to appear in the public browser. You can create one free at the Steam Game Server Account Management page.

### Can I install plugins on my CS2 server?

Yes, CS2 supports server-side plugins through CounterStrikeSharp and Metamod:Source. Popular plugins include admin tools, MatchZy for match management, retake configs, and practice mode tools.

### What is sub-tick in CS2?

CS2's sub-tick system records the exact moment actions occur between server ticks, making movement, shooting, and grenade throws more precise regardless of tick rate — eliminating the old 64-tick vs 128-tick debate.

### How much does CS2 server hosting cost?

CS2 server hosting at XGamingServer starts from $10.50/month with 30% off the first month. All plans include AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support.
