How public servers differ from matchmaking
Public servers have no queue or waiting: you join instantly, can leave at any time without penalties and come back whenever you like. Rounds are shorter, and many public servers offer skins, stats and server ranks.
Types of public servers
Classic 5x5 and 16x16 public servers on a single map (for example, Mirage only), public servers with FPS+ maps for low-end PCs, bhop public servers and map rotation servers.
