How to Use the CS2 Michael Jackson Peek
The CS2 Michael Jackson peek started as a bug in the early days of Counter-Strike 2's release. Although this was a real problem, as it was possible to see this peek in official online games, the CS2 community turned it into a meme.
Now, thanks to some creative players, we can actually perform this legendary move using custom settings.
I'll walk you through how to set up and execute the CS2 Michael Jackson peek. Keep in mind that Valve might have patched this.
First, you'll need to create an autoexec.cfg file. Here's how:
- Navigate to C:\Programs\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\
- Create a new text file and name it autoexec.cfg
- Open the file and paste the provided commands:
alias “check_mj_forward_1” “forwardback 0 0 0” alias “check_mj_back_1” “forwardback 0 0 0” alias “check_mj_left_1” “rightleft 0 0 0” alias “check_mj_right_1″ rightleft 0 0 0” alias “check_mj_forward_2” “” alias “check_mj_back_2” “” alias “check_mj_left_2” “” alias “check_mj_right_2” “” alias “check_mj_forward_3” “+forward” alias “check_mj_back_3” “+back” alias “check_mj_left_3” “+left” alias “check_mj_right_3” “+right” alias “+mj_forward” “check_mj_forward_3; forwardback 0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_forward_1 forwardback 0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_forward_2 +forward” alias “+mj_back” “check_mj_back_3; forwardback -0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_back_1 forwardback -0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_back_2 +back” alias “+mj_left” “check_mj_left_3; rightleft -0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_left_1 rightleft -0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_left_2 +left” alias “+mj_right” “check_mj_right_3; rightleft 0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_right_1 rightleft 0.5 0 0; alias check_mj_right_2 +right” alias “-mj_forward” “-forward; check_mj_back_1; alias check_mj_forward_1 forwardback 0 0 0; alias check_mj_forward_2” alias “-mj_back” “-back; check_mj_forward_1; alias check_mj_back_1 forwardback 0 0 0; alias check_mj_back_2” alias “-mj_left” “-left; check_mj_right_1; alias check_mj_left_1 rightleft 0 0 0; alias check_mj_left_2” alias “-mj_right” “-right; check_mj_left_1; alias check_mj_right_1 rightleft 0 0 0; alias check_mj_right_2” alias “+michael_jackson” “-forward; -back; -left; -right; alias check_mj_forward_3; alias check_mj_back_3; alias check_mj_left_3; alias check_mj_right_3” alias “-michael_jackson” “check_mj_forward_2; check_mj_back_2; check_mj_left_2; check_mj_right_2; alias check_mj_forward_3 +forward; alias check_mj_back_3 +back; alias check_mj_left_3 +left; alias check_mj_right_3 +right” bind “w” “+mj_forward” bind “s” “+mj_back” bind “a” “+mj_left” bind “d” “+mj_right” bind “alt” “+michael_jackson”
- Save the file
Once you've set up the autoexec.cfg file, launch CS2 and open the console. Type "exec autoexec" to activate the settings. If you want to avoid doing this every time, add "+exec autoexec.cfg" to your launch options.
With everything set up, you can now perform the Michael Jackson peek by holding the ALT key while moving. This will give you that smooth, sliding motion that resembles the King of Pop's iconic dance moves.
Remember, this technique isn't meant for serious competitive play, and you can't use it (also Valve might fix this bug soon). It's more of a fun trick to show off to your friends or use in casual matches.
The CS2 Michael Jackson peek has become a beloved part of the game's culture, showcasing the creativity and humor of the Counter-Strike community.
