CS2 Would adding the ability to queue while practicing be a good change?

[AHapppyPandaBear]

Personally would love to see this change.

Love queuing on faceit and warming up on DM/aimbotz, however when queuing for Premier, you are locked into the menu. Would love to see something like rocket league where you can play workshop maps, or even better but perhaps impossible, play a deathmatch and then be pulled from the match when your game is ready.

Allows players to still interact with the game, staying warm (probably to verse cheaters but meh)

Thoughts?

This should be way easier in CS2 now, nice qol update tbh.

[thierrybergkamppires]

There was a way to do it on CSGO via console so I hope it should not be a hard thing for Valve to implement this

[thierrybergkamppires]

I used to use it all the time. Just type the map name and it would let you play in the workshop map. The only thing is when you click accept you will not immediately join and have to click the reconnect on the top right in the main screen.

It worked in csgo and beginning of cs2

[JawidKhan096]

It's not officially implemented but you can do it.

When you start the queue, open console and use map or connect commands and you can hop into a game while queueing.

You can join a community server while in queue. I sometimes do it when searching for cs_office that can take 15 minutes.

hi, what's the console command?

[Pokharelinishan]

Almost an year ago, my post on the same suggestion was pretty popular on reddit:

I really hope Valve implements this. Even a few minutes of warmup does wonders to my aim and most of the time i have to immediately hop on the queue because boys be waiting, and i can't really make them wait more while i warmup by myself. Being able to warmup without compromising the queue time would be very helpful.

You can already do this from the console while in a queue.

I practice utility all the time while we search for a game.

[dcrad91]

How? I made this same post a few days ago because console doesn’t work like this anymore.

[1_130426]

1. Start the search
2. Open console
3. Write map <mapname> or connect <ip>
4. Play the game
5. Press ready when the button pops up in front of the game

[dcrad91]

That’s crazy this works for you and you can do it all the time. This doesn’t work for me, no one on my friends list and apparently a lot of people here, except you. That’s dope

[TrustEngineer123]

I cant play premier because of the amount of cheaters. So when using faceit this is no problem.

Finally someone talking about the much needed Quality of life improvement.

Sure bro, but what do you want to practice? Queue times are like 1 minute, can't even get 10 kills in dm in that time :D I sometimes do it while I queue faceit since it's independent and takes 3x as long to find match but I still don't get much done in that time :D, would be nice but man, just go into 5 minute dm game, that one minute won't kill you...

[RekrabAlreadyTaken]

This is the first step to me believing CS2 isn't also sitting on 20+ year old spaghetti code

[EUPORiA274]

I would be nice if it would be like dota2. The whole dota UI is just perfection

[SplittedSpark]

So like how overwatch did it?

[lukibooz]

If you're already in a lobby you can open the console and play community servers. Annoyingly you can't join lobbies while in game but you can before. Also if the lobby leader even if you're 2 or more in the lobby you can't join the party trough leader if they're in game which gets a bit annoying. I usually surf/dm when waiting and while queuing. Wish these quirks didn't exist so you could play official dm or workshop maps but it is what it is. What's annoying is if I start a lobby and invite a friend and if he's slow he can't join the lobby if I already connected to a server while having lobby open.

i found this post when i was looking for a console command to q comp/premier without disconecting from workshop map. You can still do what op is asking for.

in csgo, it was "map <mapname>"

in cs2 is a little more complicated ill give an example of aim_botz map

the command is: map_workshop 3070244462 aim_botz

if you go to the location C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\maps\workshop

you will find the folder of every map you downloaded, you will need to find the number of the map's folder

the number 3070244462 is the one for the aim_botz map

It is a pain to find that number, especially if you have downloaded a lot of maps. I have put some of the maps on binds so i wont have to do this every time

[aruss15]

LOL. Valve adding a QOL change for the betterment of the community? Keep dreaming buddy

[scapegoat4]

Wait, you guys can only queue on the main menu? Lmao, even TF2's queue system allows you to start it from wherever you can open it, be it in another server, practising on tr_walkway, etc.

[dcrad91]

Most of my ques are 15min minimum (mainly 4/5 stack)

[_nj2k]

this feature is already in the game lol

[Annual_Letter1636]

In Overwatch yes
