How to change player speed in CS 1.6

Type sv_maxspeed 150 in the server console to slow every player down. Values above 250 change nothing, since weapons cap speed at 250.

sv_maxspeed

Highest running speed any player can reach. Weapon speed limits still apply below it.

sv_maxspeed <value>

Examples

sv_maxspeed 320

Common value in server configs, no visible change in normal play.

sv_maxspeed 150

Slow motion fun round.

Arguments

valueRequired
Speed cap in units per second.

What it does

Counter-Strike already limits each player's speed by the weapon in hand, 250 with the knife and less with heavy guns. This cvar is an overall ceiling on top of that, so values above 250 change nothing in normal play. Many configs set 320. Set it lower than 250 to slow everyone down.

Good to know

  • Changes are announced to players in chat because the cvar has the server-notify flag.

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.
