We’d like to announce that on Saturday 1st August 8PM EDT[www.timeanddate.com], our Counter Strike: Global Offensive server will no longer be password protected, instead it will be open for everyone to join in and play! A big thank you to redwall_hp for setting up the server and continuing to oversee the maintenance of it.

Once the server is open, you can connect to: csgo.nerd.nu

The server will be running the classic casual game-mode due to it’s popularity and ease of access for people to join in upon.

This will be a new foray into game expansion for us, so as of now we’re still working on a concise set of rules to ensure people enjoy the game, rather than make the experience a misery. We’re very much interested in feedback with any aspect to the game that you have, from the map rotation to your experiences.

We’ll use the success of Counter Strike: Global Offensive to help us measure up for Team Fortress 2 in future.

To celebrate our new CS:GO Server going live, SwitchViewz is hosting a Tournament for players to compete for prizes. Prizes include steam gift cards and subreddit flair as well as a monument on the Event Server. For full details about the event go here: (will link to the topic once it is up)
