Because it seems from your response that you're thinking Mirh is being condescending, let me assure you he isn't. Let me break it down:

There seems to be a confusion that LAN play = Local play. As far as PCGamingWiki is concerned, there's a difference between LAN and local play. To quote the official editing guide:

  • Local: The game's multiplayer can be played on a single system.
  • LAN: The game's multiplayer can be played on a Local Area Network (or LAN).
  • Online: The game's multiplayer can be played on the Internet with other users.

In this case, if you can play CS:GO both locally and on LAN, I'd just post a source (i.e. in-game image showing the option for "Local Play", a forum post explaining how to play multiplayer CS:GO with friends on a single computer, etc.) in this thread. (Citing the source in the wiki article would probably be a good idea, too.)

Furthermore, PCGamingWiki generally defines P2P as anytime when multiplayer games are created by connecting players together and using their devices to send and receive data between each other - usually indicated by a lack of dedicated server support. There's always exceptions to the rule, but those exceptions need to be cited. Since CS:GO just so happens to have dedicated server support, a citation is required to demonstrate the game actually uses P2P as well as dedicated servers for multiplayer.

dupe from #pcgamingwiki IRC:

<Hawaii_Beach> please, csgo has p2p support
<Hawaii_Beach> if you open a lobby and select a workshop map with another guy the lobby
<Hawaii_Beach> and doing netgraph 1
<Hawaii_Beach> you'll see in the bottom "P2P"
<Hawaii_Beach> test it for yourself

edit: I was retarded, ofc the Source engine doesn't support p2p. But CS:GO accually has a P2P note when net_graph 1 in a local server. I (long time now) thought that it meant that it had support for p2p.
