Honestly, just plug into the same router, start the game, and use the console commands. It's that simple. No fancy steps needed.

Not to be that guy, but why bother with LAN when you can play online? Just add each other as friends and join the same server. Way easier.

Creating a LAN game in CS:GO with your friend is super easy and a great way to enjoy some friendly competition without the stress of online matchmaking. First, make sure both you and your friend are connected to the same local network. Then, one of you needs to start CS:GO and choose 'Play' -> 'Offline with Bots'. Once in the game, open the console with the `~` key and type 'sv_lan 1' to ensure the game is set to LAN mode. Next, type 'map *mapname*' (replace *mapname* with your chosen map, like 'map de_dust2') to load the map. Finally, tell your friend to open the console and type 'connect *yourIPaddress*,' where *yourIPaddress* is the local IP of the host's computer. Voila, you're set for a LAN battle!
