Starting a custom game in CS:GO is pretty straightforward. First, launch the game and open the console; you do this by pressing the tilde (~) key. Then, you type 'map' followed by the name of the map you want to play. For example, 'map de_dust2' loads the map Dust II. Make sure you've got the console enabled in the game settings if it doesn't open!

Honestly, just hop into a community server if you're looking for custom games. Less hassle, more fun, and you get to discover some cool new maps and modes you probably didn't know existed.

If you wanna get fancy with your friends in a custom game, remember to invite them first! Open your friends list, right-click their names, and invite them to your lobby. Then, choose 'Play With Friends', set the game to 'Private Match', and pick the game settings you want. Blast away!
