MR, or max rounds, signifies the maximum number of rounds per side. CS2 has adopted the MR12 format, allowing for 12 rounds per side and requiring 13 for victory.

James Banks offers an in-depth look at the switch to MR12 in Counter-Strike 2, weighing both its benefits and drawbacks. He highlights the increased significance of early rounds, particularly pistol rounds, which can set the tone for the entire half. However, he also points out that shorter matches can reduce opportunities for impressive comebacks, sparking debate among players. Some professional players feel that MR15 offered a fairer reflection of overall skill, while others praise MR12 for its tournament-friendly length. Banks emphasizes that the altered economy system and heightened pressure on each round make every decision more impactful. He shares that many tournament organizers and teams welcome the faster format, although a dedicated segment of the community remains nostalgic for the older system. Despite differing opinions among professional players, he believes the community should give MR12 a proper chance.
