CS:GO Server Setup
CS:GO Server OS Supported
- Windows

CS:GO Windows Guide
Requires steamCMD
1. Create a folder for SteamCMD and for your CS-GO Server. I normally place this on the root of my drive (c:\)
C:\steamcmd\
C:\CSGOServer\
2. Download the SteamCMD (Windows) Update Tool.
3. Extract the contents of the zip to the folder.
You will see the SteamCMD.exe, Double click for it to execute.
This will download more files and then leave you with a black command line window.
Next we will start downloading the CS-GO server setup files. To update your server you will use this same code in SteamCMD
login anonymous force_install_dir C:\CSGOServer app_update 740 validate
Inside the path you set you will see the CSGO Server files and one of those files will be called srcds.exe
This is the actual server executable and you can change what type of CSGO Server starts, Max Players, Maps, and more by using different parameters. For a Full list check our Config Tab.
Starting a Classical Casual game:
srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_bomb +map de_dust
You may need to forward ports with you do not have a public IP on your computer. This will be highly dependant on your Modem/router model so google your modem model+port forwarding to

I think you should add more mods info like
Classic Competitive : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_active +map de_dust2
Arms Race : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_armsrace +map ar_shoots
Demolition : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_demolition +map de_lake
Deathmatch : srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 1 +game_mode 2 +mapgroup mg_allclassic +map de_dust
