It’s a bit different from standard AWP servers, featuring lower gravity, round end music, Quake sound effects, and an interesting game mode called “Deagle AWPs” where Deagles behave like AWPs.ĪWP servers teach you how to properly flick to an enemy, and you’re able to work on predicting enemy movements and adjusting your crosshair accordingly. The third server on this list is the “ 24/7 AWP Server” hosted by Skynetgaming. It’s like training wheels for CS:GO, and for new bhoppers, it’s a very welcome feature. This built-in acceleration means that the server automatically increases your movement speed while you’re jumping from platform to platform. The server also has built-in acceleration which makes bhopping easy for total beginners like me. In stark contrast to the previous one, this server is dead silent, and most of the communication happens in text chat.
The second server we have on offer is the “ LA #1 Ez BHOP 24/7”, also hosted by AbyssNetwork. Some people argue that surfing can help with finding the best way to run while keeping your speed, while others disagree. Other than that, it’s just your generic, everyday surf server that’s modded to let you choose your own gun, knife, and glove skins. When I played on the server, some guy was playing loud rap music over the mic, didn’t stop when he got warned, and ended up getting banned by an admin. AbyssNetwork: 24/7 Surf Utopia Serverįirst up we have AbyssNetwork’s “ 24/7 Surf Utopia.” Immediately upon joining, the first thing one notices is the loud people talking and screaming at each other. If you’re looking for a good place to try out a new game mode, work on your mechanics, or meet cool people, you should check out our favorite community servers on the West Coast. You can find a a nice, quiet server where everyone is just doing their own thing, or you can hop into a server where everyone is blasting rap music over the mic and 12 year olds are screaming profanities at you. Of course, much like people and everything else in the world, not all community servers are created equal.
These servers include surf, bhop and AWP servers, and there’s a huge number of these digital gathering places around the world. Community servers in CS:GO are a popular alternative for players looking to expand their horizons beyond the fairly limited pool of options available on Valve’s official servers. While third-party platforms like ESEA, FACEIT, and CEVO offer an improved 5v5 experience, most of the community servers offer experiences that are quite different from ‘regular’ Counter-Strike.
