Game: Joint Counter-strike 2 & Day of Defeat:Source
Time: 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)
This is something new that we are trying, having a joint community night for Counter-strike 2 and Day of Defeat:Source a few times in between our winter WAN and summer LAN parties, that will depend on the level of participation in terms of whether we continue with it in the future. We will be playing CS2 from 9:00 to 10:00 Eastern and DoDS from 10:00 to 11:00 Eastern.
For CS2, you need only have it installed from STEAM as any maps that are not included with the game will be downloaded automatically as long as you allow workshop maps. If you want to download these ahead of time to avoid taking up LAN bandwidth and waiting to join when a map changes, you can search for the collection in the STEAM workshop called "OSF CS2 LAN Server Workshop Maps" and click the "Subscribe to all" button on the collection page to have them all downloaded ahead of time.
