Counter-Strike 2: Play/Warm Up Vs Bots with Single Player mode

The purpose of this guide is to give a list of console commands so you can set up a single player mode experience. Depending on which variation you implement, you can adjust the difficulty of the matches.
This guide assumes you know how to load up the console and execute basic console commands. It also assumes you understand how to create .cfg files. Those basics are outside the scope and therefore are not covered in this guide.

This section is over game mode scripts. Some commands are optional depending on how you want the game to go.

• mp_limitteams 0
  // This command remove the number of players limit between the two teams (so one team can have 1 member and the other 10). Highly recommend keeping this.
• mp_autoteambalance 0
  // This command removes auto balance forcing a random player from a team with 2 players or more than the opposing team to join the opposing team. Highly recommend keeping this.
• mp_maxrounds 31
  // This command sets the max number of rounds to resemble CSGO(first to 16 to win). Default 25. Remove if you don’t want this.
• mp_afterroundmoney 5000
  // This command makes sure bots and players always have $ to buy what they need each round. Remove if you don’t want this.
• mp_buy_anywhere 1
  //If you play on custom maps, this is often necessary to prevent bots from skipping the buy phase simply because they spawned outside the buy area.
• mp_buytime 300
  //Strictly for fun, combined with the previous command. You can just re-buy for basically the entire round.

This section affects how the bots will play. By Default I leave these on so bots don’t buy stupid weapons. Adjust as needed. There’s also alternative commands that force ALL bots on both teams to use one single layout.

• bot_difficulty 4
  //not sure this affects difficulty of bots. Left this just in case it does. Set to max difficulty.
• bot_allow_shotguns 0
• bot_allow_sub_machine_guns 0
• bot_defer_to_human_goals 0
  //bots will defuse bomb/rescue hostages
• bot_defer_to_human_items 0
  //bots will spawn with the bomb
• mp_defuserallocation 2
  //ct bots will spawn with defuse kit. In Competition, they don’t buy defuse kits so this is the way.

Next Section will change depending on what you want to accomplish. Use this if you just want to stack all the open slots with bots, creating a 10 vs 10 mode.

• bot_kick
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert

If you want the game to fill just CT’s with bots, use this command instead.

• bot_kick
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert

If you want the game to fill just T’s with bots, use this command instead.

• bot_kick
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert

Now just combine all the commands above and add them to a cfg file so you can quickly create singleplayer games. Go to the cfg folder and create a new cfg titled “singleplayermode.cfg”
Add the following:

• mp_limitteams 0
• mp_autoteambalance 0
• mp_maxrounds 31
• mp_afterroundmoney 5000
• bot_difficulty 4
• bot_allow_shotguns 0
• bot_allow_sub_machine_guns 0
• bot_defer_to_human_goals 0
• bot_defer_to_human_items 0
• mp_buy_anywhere 1
• mp_buytime 300
• bot_kick
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert
• bot_add expert

Save. Create another .cfg file and name it singleplayervst.cfg Do the same thing as above but with the following commands.

• mp_limitteams 0
• mp_autoteambalance 0
• mp_maxrounds 31
• mp_afterroundmoney 5000
• bot_difficulty 4
• bot_allow_shotguns 0
• bot_allow_sub_machine_guns 0
• bot_defer_to_human_goals 0
• bot_defer_to_human_items 0
• mp_buy_anywhere 1
• mp_buytime 300
• bot_kick
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert
• bot_add_t expert

Save. Create another .cfg file and name it singleplayervsct.cfg Do the same thing as above but with the following commands.

• mp_limitteams 0
• mp_autoteambalance 0
• mp_maxrounds 31
• mp_afterroundmoney 5000
• bot_difficulty 4
• bot_allow_shotguns 0
• bot_allow_sub_machine_guns 0
• bot_defer_to_human_goals 0
• bot_defer_to_human_items 0
• mp_buy_anywhere 1
• mp_buytime 300
• bot_kick
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert
• bot_add_ct expert

Now you can play the games you want.

• Load CS2.
• Create a practice either casual, competition, or even custom maps.
• Once the map as loaded, select a team to play.
• After joining a team, load the console and execute the command based on what you want to play.
• exec singleplayermode
  Use this to set up a 10vs10 match.
• exec singleplayermodevst
  Assuming you joined CT, to play vs 10 Terrorists. *difficult
• exec singleplayermodevsct
  Assuming you joined T, to play vs 10 Counter Terrorists. *Very difficult
• mp_restartgame 1
  This will reset the game match so you can start at pistols. Using the previous command will start the game a 1-0 score because all the bots were kicked. Consider adding this to the .cfg commands if you get tired of adding this command line in as well. *not tested*.

Obviously, you should rename the .cfg file names to something shorter that you can remember. I have a few test files so this was the easiest names I could come up with without conflicting others.

Thanks for reading my guide. This was my first CS2 guide ever written. I welcome all feedback. Hope you guys got some helpful tips from this.
