How to Kick Yourself in CS2: Step By Step
The first thing you need to know about how to vote and kick from a match any player, including yourself, in CS2 is console command. Besides, we already shared a guide about the most common console commands here. Still, we should remind you of the basics.
Step 1
For the beginning, open the game and find the menu of settings. You need to navigate to the “Game” where you can enable the developer console (~). As soon as you allow it, you can open the console during any match by using the key ~ (tilde). Usually, you can find that key on your keyboard below the “Esc.” Now, you’re ready to use the developer console.
Step 2
The next step is understanding how to bring a vote kick in CS2. Open the console using the tilde. Type the command “status” and press Enter. This short step will display a list of all players in the actual match, including yourself. Find your nickname and a unique ID player near it. These numbers are the central part of the vote kick in CS2 (CS:GO).
Step 3
As soon as you find a player ID, you should enter the command “callvote kick” by adding at the end the ID of a player you want to kick. For example, the player’s ID is 77, meaning you need to type “callvote kick 77” and press Enter.
Step 4
The final step is waiting for the voting results. Your teammates should decide whether you should be kicked or not. Of course, it could help if you already explained the decision to leave the current match. It might help your teammates to cooperate and avoid some conflicts.
Understanding the Kicking Feature
Whenever you already know how to kick yourself in CS2, you also should understand the main principles of that feature.
First, the vote kick is entirely transparent. It means players see who initiated the vote kick and the actual count.
Second, you have a limit to using the vote kick in CS2. That limit is intended to prevent players from overusing the feature and using it only when necessary.
Lastly, only the majority of players could kick another player from a current match by using the vote kick. It prevents the overuse of the feature by a single player or a small group who wants to kick everyone and ruin the game.
Alternatives to Self-Kicking
A vote kick in CS2 (CS:GO) may not be an option sometimes. For example, when your teammates don’t want to vote or cooperate. That’s why it’s better to know the alternatives to self-kicking.
Unfortunately, there are not many options. Still, one of them is as simple as possible — just leaving the match. It will bring you a light penalty, especially if you leave matches often. It could be a short cooldown period where you cannot play competitive matches.
The next alternative to self-kicking in CS2 is to continue playing and trying to improve your gameplay and strategy or even find new spots. It might not make sense if you meet a cheater in the match, but it could be an opportunity not to waste time. At least, some part of the game time.
The last option doesn’t help if you are already in the match. It’s a reminder that if you’re not ready to play one more competitive match, then consider playing a different game mode, such as Deathmatch.
To Sum Up
As you can see, using the vote kick in CS2 (CS:GO) isn’t difficult. Still, you should initiate that feature when it’s essential. In other words, use it wisely, and remember about fair play and teamwork because it’s the primary key to a win.
