Scenarios
In
Counter-Strike, you participate in two types of scenarios:
hostage-rescue and demolition.
Hostage-Rescue
In hostage-rescue scenarios, the terrorist team has taken
a group of civilians hostage.
§
Counter-terrorists succeed by bringing all living hostages
to the rescue zone or eliminating all of the terrorists.
§
Terrorists succeed by preventing the hostage rescue or
eliminating all of the counter-terrorists.
As a counter-terrorist, you see hostages on your radar as
blinking dots. Order hostages to follow you by approaching
them and pressing
X
. Lead hostages to the hostage-
rescue zone, which is marked and shows a rescue icon on
your HUD when you reach it.
Be aware—hostages are worth money. Counter-terrorists
gain money for contacting and extracting hostages, and
both sides lose money for injuring or
killing hostages.
Demolition
In demolition scenarios,
the terrorist team must
infi ltrate a secure location
with a high-powered bomb
and detonate it.
§
Counter-terrorists succeed by defusing the bomb once
it has been planted, preventing the terrorists from
detonating the bomb until time runs out, or eliminating
all of the terrorists before the bomb is planted.
§
Terrorists succeed by planting the bomb at a bomb site
and preventing the counter-terrorists from defusing
it before it explodes, or eliminating all of the counter-
terrorists.
Each round, one of the terrorist team is randomly chosen
to carry the bomb. That person has a bomb icon on the
HUD. Teammates see the bomb as a red dot on their
radar, which blinks if the bomb is dropped. If you are at a
bomb site with the bomb, plant the bomb by pressing and
holding
X
. The bomb detonates after a delay. Evacuate
before it does—the blast radius is large.
As a counter-terrorist, you must defuse the bomb if you
fi nd it has been planted. Do this by pressing and holding
X
while you are near and looking down at the bomb. A bomb-
defuse kit speeds the process (see page 30).
