Guide to the map de_dust
de_dust is one of the most well known & played maps on Counter-Strike tour but for those who have never played it here's a few tips on the map.

Map Overview




T's (Terrorists) Tactics
When it comes to de_dust tactics it's all down to the weapon you buy that really forms the basics to your attack plans. If you decide to go for a snipe rifle like the AWP then your best bet would to take up position at the underpass. Hold back whilist your team mates make their attack rush then slowly move down & along the underpass route. Remember some times it pays to move quick than just sneaking along at a slow speed which can leave you very open to attack.

If however you have chosen an assult weapon like the MP5 or AK47 a quick and calculated rush attack right into the heart of the CT defence can pay off. Remember to lay down a wall of fire & grenades before diving in. The full on rush will leave you very open to attck from 3 angels so it is vitical your team provides backup cover for each other. If not then you will all be sitting ducks. Some good tactics to use i find are:


1. Depending on the team size 40% of the team take the underpass, 1 armed with AWP rifle provides cover down the underpass as the other 2 or so rush down with AK47's keeping an eye out for CT snipers & campers over the underpass bridge. Once through they will rush up the ramp and begin their assault from behind the CT defence. While this is happening the rest of the T's armed with grenades & AK47's rush the heart of the CT defence but hold back until the attack from behind begins when they then begin their attack from the front. This is where one terrorist rushes towards the underpass bridge while the others storm into bomb site 'A' and setup their defence.


2. This tactic can be risky but when executed well it will hit the CT force hard. All the T's to storm bomb site 'A' in one large single rush attack. the front 3 terrorists run straight into the 'A' site closely followed by the rest of the team who break off just short of site 'A' to attack CT's at the door area leading to bomb site 'A' Once at site 'A' if all has gone well the bomber should be planting the bomb as the other team members set-up positions to defend the area. The key here is not to then leave the bomb zone but to hold & wait for the CT's to make their counter attack.

New stuff to watch out for
The CT's underpass side has been updated & redesigned so watch out!! The CT team now have access all around the underpass at their end which greatly improves their ability to cover that sector of the map. As well as this the T's side of the underpass as also been revamped giving them access to all sides of their underpass end. Not as useful as the CT's end but when on a weaker team that requires to base camp this new map feature helps a lot in controlling the T's spawn area.
