In Counter-Strike 2, match pausing is a feature that allows players to halt the game under specific circumstances temporarily. Typically, only professional and tournament settings enable pausing, where a dedicated admin or referee manages the process. Pauses address technical issues, player emergencies, or tactical discussions, ensuring fair and competitive gameplay while maintaining the integrity of the match.
