When practicing in an offline game or private server, it definitely isn't convenient for the round to end just shy of two minutes after it started. With commands, you can extend the duration of round to make it longer or practically unlimited.
1. Enable and Open the Developer Console
Skip this step if you've already enabled the developer console and know how to open it.
In order to use console commands, the developer console needs to be enabled. Go to your CS2 settings, click on the Game tab and set Enable Developer Console to Yes (view our guide for more help).
You can open the console by pressing ` (grave) or ~ (tilde) on your keyboard.
2. Commands for Infinite Round Time
Copy and paste this list of commands into your CS2 console for an infinite round time (the rounds will also reset in order for the settings to apply):
mp_roundtime_defuse 60;mp_roundtime_hostage 60;mp_roundtime 60;mp_restartgame 1
Bonus: Buy Anywhere
If you're practicing and also want the ability to buy at any time, from any location in the map, entering the following command would do that:
mp_buy_anywhere 1;mp_buytime 60000
Explained: What These Commands Do
If you want to know what each of those commands in the above list does, below they are explained.
As we aren't sure what type of game you (the reader) wants to give unlimited round time in, we set the round time to 60 minutes (the highest it can be) for all three possible game modes. The mp_roundtime_defuse is used to set the time of rounds in competitive and casual demolition (normal) games:
mp_roundtime_defuse 60
The mp_roundtime_hostage command sets the time of rounds in hostage games:
mp_roundtime_hostage 60
The mp_roundtime command sets the time of rounds in all other games:
mp_roundtime 60
The mp_restartgame command restarts the game, so that the changes take effect:
mp_restartgame 1
That's all there is to this guide. If you're practicing in Counter-Strike, you might also want to give some of these pages a read:
