Notes

- conVar values are subject to change between builds and weekly updates; always verify on the live server.
- Commands marked `clientdll` or `gamedll` are client- or server-side only and require appropriate permissions.
- For competitive and Premier matches, many console commands are disabled or restricted by Valve; do not use in official matchmaking.
- The `mp_freezetime`, `mp_buytime`, and `mp_roundtime` values are set per-map-cycle and may vary between Active Duty and Reserve maps.

This guide is intentionally dense with default values for reference — players seeking to customize their setup should modify one cVar at a time and test in a local lobby before applying to competitive matches.
