sv_maxspeed 900                             // Sets the maximum speed. In CS it doesn't change anything after 260, because of the weapon's speed(You go faster with scout, which is 260).

sv_stepsize 18                              // This is used to determine the maximum height of which you can walk up, without jumping. When set to a high number, you can walk over very tall objects. When set to a small number you can not walk up the littlest step.
sv_stopspeed 75                             // It sets the minimum stopping speed when on ground. In Half-Life and others mods, the default value is 100. But in CS, it's locked at 75, if you change it it will always comes back to 75.
