FAQ
Does mp_freezetime need sv_cheats?
No. mp_freezetime is not cheat-protected in CS2's command list, but it is a server setting, so it only changes things on a server you run or an offline game.
What is the default value of mp_freezetime?
The default is 6, and the game accepts 0 to 60. To reset it, type mp_freezetime 6 in the console.
