cs_assault is a popular hostage rescue map in the first-person shooter game Counter-Strike.The map
The map consists of a warehouse with two floors and a neighboring city; the four hostages are located in a safe room in the second floor of the warehouse. There are three entry points into the warehouse: the front door, back door, and air vent. The front door is perhaps the most obvious because it is very open and anyone looking at it can see incoming players. The back door is more covert as it is located right behind some boxes, but the door makes a lot of noise when opening and it is easy to camp near the door to shoot incoming players. The vent is the favored entrance as there are two ways to get into it and two ways to get out. Two ladders (one alongside some boxes outside and one on the outside of the building) lead to the vent and from there, a player can jump out on the second floor hallway or directly in front of the aforementioned safe room.Criticism
In this map, the Counter-Terrorists spawn outside their truck in the city surrounding the warehouse. The Terrorists spawn with the warehouse, either near the hostage point or on the lower level near the front entrance. Assault is often criticized as being unfairly balanced to the advantage of the Terrorists. From the upper level Terrorist spawn point, a Terrorist can snipe at Counter-Terrorists entering through the front or back entrances. Additionally, they can hide in a part of the vent with an AWP and kill any incoming Counter-Terrorists before they has a chance to shoot back. This practice is referred to in some servers, particularly 24/7 cs_assault servers, as "vent-camping" and is usually frowned upon by both teams. To help themselves, Counter-Terrorists often use flashbangs when entering the vent; however, a skilled Terrorist can shoot at the enemy even if he is blinded. Additionally, the hostages are in a safe room with a loud, electric door. A Terrorist can easily camp near the hostages, hear the door open, and open fire upon the rescuers.Uniqueness[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Cs assault ]
