HvH is Hack versus Hack. These are specialized servers in CS2 where players compete against each other using different cheats in a variety of game modes. Obviously, HvH servers exist separately from the official modes and are not supported by the game developers. For a long time of existence of CS, there has formed a large community of players and enthusiasts who are interested in its technical aspects, they create and support such servers.

There are a bunch of game modes, each requiring a different play style and customization. Here are some of the most common ones:

• classic HvH servers;
• hvhdm (deathmatch);
• wingman;
• no-spread.

Classic servers are more like regular CS 2 modes, like casual or competitive, where round time and number of rounds are limited. HVHDM servers are also similar to classic deathmatch mode, but the match time is increased from 10 minutes to 1 hour, and AWP is either disabled or limited to 1-2 per team. Wingmans is the usual 2x2 mode from CS. No-Spread is absolutely unique and unlike the previously listed modes, here is completely disabled spread on serverside.
