When I shut down the CS:GO servers in August 2021, I actually thought that was the end of it. But at the end of September, I fancied seeing if the old uber1337.dk vibe could be brought back to life in CS2 – and it’s turned into a lot more than ‘just a couple of servers for fun’. Here’s an update on what’s happened since then.
The philosophy remains the same: on uber1337.dk, everyone is equal, and no one can buy their way to an advantage.
The servers
- #1 Competitive –
connect game.uber1337.dk:27015– 16 slots, 8 vs 8 - #2 Deathmatch –
connect game.uber1337.dk:27016– free-for-all
Since 7 October, they have been running on a dedicated game server in a Danish data centre with DDoS protection. This has resulted in a ping of approx. 5 ms from Denmark, compared to approx. 20 ms previously. The addresses remain the same, so you don’t need to do anything.
This has been carried over from the old servers
- Statistics – the entire CS:GO history from 2014 to 2021 is still available at stats.uber1337.dk as an archive alongside CS2. The player IDs are the same, so old links still work.
- Ban list – the permanent bans from SourceBans have been transferred over, and the old SourceBans archive can still be viewed.
- Admins – the old admin team still has access.
- Voice chat restricted to the Nordic region – as before, only players from Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland can use voice chat.
- !ws – skins, knife and gloves are back.
- The admin caller – the same Steam account is once again sending
!calladminto admins on Steam. - Design – the website has reverted to the original uber1337.dk design from 2007, now optimised for mobile. The very first version of uber1337.dk from 2008–2009 can be viewed at arkiv.uber1337.dk.
What’s new or improved
- Skins with images –
!wsnow open a proper in-game window with images of all skins, tabs and mouse clicks instead of the old text menu. Knives, gloves, agents, StatTrak, music and pins are included. You can also select them at uber1337.dk/skins, where you log in via Steam. - In-game help and statistics –
!helpdisplays all commands and the rules, and!statsshows your position, skill, weapons and recent days – in the same sort of window. Move the cursor and the window will close. - Rank on the scoreboard – your skill level from the statistics is displayed as a rank directly on the scoreboard. Skill is now based on Elo, so it rewards beating better players rather than just playing a lot.
- All matches can be replayed – every match is recorded and can be downloaded or viewed in 2D directly in your browser at uber1337.dk/demo, complete with the scoreboard and round-by-round commentary. If a match is running on #1, it can be followed live in 2D with a 90-second delay.
- Bots, when there are few of you – the server is filled with bots until there are enough real players, and each new player takes a bot’s place. If you’d rather play without them, type
!botvote. - Map poll –
!rtvand!nominate, and at the end of the match, CS2’s own poll for the next map. - Danish or English – messages from the server and in-game windows will automatically appear in Danish or English depending on where you’re connecting from (
!lang da/!lang en). - Help from admins –
!reportavailable via both Discord and Steam. If you report abusive language in voice chat, the admins will immediately receive a transcript of what was said. - Privacy is enhanced
– voice chat is recorded and can be reviewed by admins to stop harassment, racism and threats. This is transcribed into text on our own server, and the public demos do not include voice chat. Read more in the privacy policy
.
It is therefore no longer possible for everyone to access demos with voice chat, as is the case on CS:GO servers. - Cheat monitoring
– the servers monitor suspicious behaviour such as unnatural aiming movements, and admins have a tool that analyses the demos. No one is banned automatically – an admin always reviews it first.
Once the system is fully up and running, it may be automated, as on the old CS:GO servers
The website
- Servers listed directly on the site – live status showing the map and players, plus a ‘Connect’ button. On your mobile, you can add uber1337.dk/app to your home screen to see who’s playing.
- Log in with Steam – gives you access to the forum, skins, your profile and shortcuts to your own stats, matches and bans.
- My Data – on My Data, you can view everything we’ve stored about you and delete it if you wish.
- English – the site is now also available in English, and news items are translated automatically.
- Stats in the same style – stats.uber1337.dk has adopted the website’s design and menu, so everything ties in.
- Discord, TeamSpeak and Mumble – grouped together in a panel with status indicators, so you can quickly find someone to chat to.
In short: CS:GO back then and CS2 now
| CS:GO (until 2021) | CS2 now | |
|---|---|---|
| Skins | text menu in the chat | Window with in-game images + on the website |
| Statistics | HLstatsX on the website | the same statistics with the CS:GO archive, rank on the scoreboard and !stats in-game |
| Demos | available for download | all matches for 90 days, also in 2D in the browser and live |
| In-game help | text in the chat | !help with tabs and rules |
| Admins | !calladmin on Steam | !report on Discord and Steam, with a transcript in the event of abusive language in voice chat |
| Language | Danish | Danish or English (automatic) |
New features are constantly being added, and the servers are updated every night. If you have any ideas, or if something isn’t working properly, please post in the forum, on Discord or contact an admin.
