Breaking the Team Barrier

In standard competitive Counter-Strike 2, communication is restricted to teammates. However, for casual environments, surf servers, or community hangouts, enabling “All-Talk” allows for a more social and interactive gaming experience.

​
Configuring All-Talk

To enable cross-team communication, you must modify several variables in your /game/csgo/cfg/server.cfg file.
  1. Open your server.cfg in the FREAKHOSTING file editor.
  2. Paste the following commands: 
    sv_alltalk 1        // Enable basic cross-team chat
sv_full_alltalk 1   // Overrides team restrictions entirely
sv_deadtalk 1       // Allows dead players to talk to living players
  3. Save the file and Restart the server.

​
Granular Control

If you want to allow global chat but keep specific restrictions during matches, consider these alternatives:
  • sv_talk_enemy_living: Set to 1 to allow living enemies to hear each other.
  • sv_talk_enemy_dead: Set to 1 to allow dead enemies to hear each other.

​
Moderation Tip

Enabling All-Talk can lead to increased toxicity between competing players. We recommend having active moderators or using a toxicity-filtering plugin if you choose to enable global voice communication on a public server.
