This is what you do if you need to change the map or game mode on your Insurgency: Sandstorm server. Sandstorm starts on a map plus a scenario. The scenario picks the game mode and the side you play, for example Scenario_Farmhouse_Checkpoint_Security.

Did you know?
After the first match, your server cycles through every Versus (PvP) scenario by default. To set your own rotation, Stop your server, go to Files, create Insurgency/Config/Server/MapCycle.txt with one scenario name per line, then Start your server.
