CS Surf Settings – CS:GO, Source & 1.6
Last updated: March 12, 2023
In CS, surf maps has gained a lot of popularity: Source and GO. You will not be able to surf properly if you do not first set a few settings if you want to do some independent surfing. The following settings are compatible with Counter-Strike: CS 1.6, Global Offensive, and CS Source.
Settings for CS Surf – CS: Start the game and open the developer console () after downloading a surf map for GO, Source, and CS 1.6. Enter the following commands to modify the settings once you are in the console.
CS:GO & CS:Source Surf settings
sv_accelerate 10
sv_airaccelerate 800
Default values
sv_accelerate 5.6
sv_airaccelerate 12
The sv_airaccelerate is the real difference maker. It does a fairly straightforward job: When you’re in the air, it makes you accelerate faster or slower. The values of sv_accelerate and sv_airaccelerate on some servers are either high or low. They could, for instance, have sv_airaccelerate set to 1000 rather than 800.
You can also change the sv_airaccelerate to make it harder or easier.
Surf difficulties
- Hard: sv_airaccelerate 100
- Semi hard: sv_airaccelerate 150
- Medium: sv_airaccelerate 200
- Easy: sv_airaccelerate 400
- Fun: sv_airaccelerate 800
- Extra easy: sv_airaccelerate 1000
Setting the sv_accelerate value above 10 will make your strafing appear too exaggerated, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
Use the console command “bot_kick” to get rid of bots that have been added by the server.
Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike zero surf settings
sv_airaccelerate 300
sv_airmove 10
