In Counter-Strike: Source, a default map typically refers to the map the server loads when no specific map is designated in the server configuration. It is the initial playing environment that players encounter upon joining the server. Server administrators can set a default map to create a consistent starting point for their server or rotate through a selection of maps to keep gameplay varied and engaging.
