Counter-Strike 1.6 Default Maps and Types

Counter-Strike 1.6 is a first-person shooter game filled with action and fast-paced gameplay. In counterterrorism and terrorism mode, players must rescue hostages and defuse bombs, among other objectives.

You earn in-game currency by winning rounds and cash bonuses by killing enemies. In the case of killing another teammate, a team member will receive a penalty for refusing to cooperate with the rest of the team.

Various modes are available in Counter-Strike 1.6, and they all have their advantages. Glicko ratings assign skill ranks to players within a skill level so that they can compete against each other.  The competitive mode features friendly fire, but Deathmatch and Casual do not.

Player performance determines the amount of in-game currency they earn during each round. They can then use the currency to purchase more potent weapons. You can find gameplay and maps for Counter-Strike in this section.

Hostage Rescue Map

Original maps based on hostage rescue scenarios are called Hostage Rescue (cs_) maps. In or near the Terrorist spawn are at least four computer-controlled hostages.

To rescue the victims, Counter-Terrorists must lead them to the spawn area, usually around where the counter-terrorists spawn. Counter-Terrorists can win the round if they rescue all the hostages within the deadline. Players may lose money and be removed from the server if they kill a hostage, unintentionally or intentionally.

In addition to ending the round by killing your whole enemy team, you’ll gain less money for the next round by killing the entire enemy team. Previously, Terrorists could also “use” hostages to lead them to alternate locations in Counter-Strike.

Bomb Defuse Map

A bomb defuses map is a map that simulates the process of planting and defusing a bomb. An image on a map shows two bomb sites, A and B, one of which may be close to a counter-terrorist spawn point.

One of the terrorists has a C4 explosive; the terrorist can only plant this explosive at bomb sites. Terrorists who pick up a bomb killed by their enemies can use their radar to locate it and retrieve it like a dropped weapon.

In 45 seconds, anti-terrorists must locate and defuse the bomb planted by the terrorists. This time limit is adjustable; you can change it. Bomb defuse maps enable counter-terrorists to buy a special bomb defuse kit that can defuse a bomb in as little as five seconds.

Assassination Map

Assassination maps are those based on assassination scenarios. It is a Counter-Terrorist team member that spawns as the VIP.

Although this player cannot purchase weapons or equipment within the entire map, they provide a fully-loaded USP pistol and 100 armor points (totaling 200). The VIP must travel from a spawn point to reach a rescue point.

Escape Map

The escape map (es_) scenario was defunct but required terrorists to reach specific exit points within certain time frames while counterterrorism teams tried to intercept them.

Most escape maps started the terrorist team without a buy zone, so players had to either find weapons or scavenge them from the corpses of others.
