Assault is a hostage scenario map from Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Source, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The main part of the map takes place in a warehouse in a major US city, where the hostages are held by entrenched terrorists.
Layout
In principle, Assault has a comparatively simple layout and can be roughly divided into an outdoor area and the warehouse. The terrorists spawn in a room inside the warehouse, while the anti-terrorist unit spawns in a side street, which is a parallel street to the street with the warehouse. The counter-terrorist unit can get to the warehouse directly via an intermediate road or switch left to another side road, where you have to travel a longer distance. Parallel to it there is an elevated plateau with a small railroad station (or in CS a highway bridge), from which you can observe the largest of the entrances to the warehouse and which you can man with snipers. In total, there are three ways for the anti-terrorist unit to enter the warehouse. Opposite the elevated station, there is a delivery entrance, on the other side of the building there are two entrances, one for the lower and one for the upper floor of the warehouse, and from the roof there is an air shaft that allows direct access to the hostages. On the roof there are also windows that can be shot in to locate free-standing terrorists. The warehouse itself has two levels and in the large hall, there are various crates, containers and other containers.
Trivia
In Counter-Strike you can still see the logo of the fictional company Black Mesa from Half-Life on the containers used since the first CS was a modification of Half-Life. In the later parts Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive the logo was replaced by that of a likewise fictitious company called “Starline”.
In the hostage room, you can see a weapons cabinet in Global Offensive, which contains all the weapons in the game. The same cabinet is also used on the map Cache and originally comes from the weapons course, the game’s tutorial. However, it is purely decorative and it is not possible to get to the weapons shown.
While the map in Counter-Strike: Source is set in the actually existing Belmont Avenue in the major US city of Chicago, as you can see from the coordinates of the train station, which match those of a real station, in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive it is set near the fictional city of Riverside from Valve’s title Left 4 Dead.
