How to change freeze time in CS 1.6

Type mp_freezetime 5 in the server console to freeze players for 5 seconds at the start of each round. 0 turns it off.

mp_freezetime

Seconds players are frozen at the start of each round, time they can use to buy.

mp_freezetime <seconds>

Examples

mp_freezetime 0

No freeze time, for deathmatch-style games.

mp_freezetime 15

Longer freeze time for matches.

Arguments

secondsRequired
Freeze time, from 0 to 60.

What it does

At round start players cannot move for this many seconds but can buy and plan. Competitive configs often use around 10 to 15 seconds for strategy talk, casual servers often use less. Takes effect from the next round.

Good to know

  • The game keeps the value between 0 and 60.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
