de_nuke

A Standard Setup: 1 outside, 1 floor in upper bombsite, 1 rafters, 2 ramp room.

Nuke setups are very basic, so there's not much room for creativity here.

An Aggressive Setup:

This setup is all about pressuring from the ramp room, with backup coming from the lower player in bombsite A. The ramp room defenders have the ability to flash the entire offensive holding area and the radio room almost without being seen. The floor player can also throw flashes in through the shed to help blind the attackers in the holding area even more. This setup is not based on quick peeks - it is a full-on push and is aimed at keeping the offense blind while the defense sets up various pushed-up stacks, unbeknownst to the offense.

A Defensive Setup:

It is very rare to see a defensive setup in de_nuke. However, we most often see this type of setup during pistol rounds. The floor player is the only player that moves in this setup - the reste of the CT's stack the ramp room. If the upper bombsite is taken by the offense, three players rotate through the offensive holding area, throwing their flashes and he grenades in and out of the shed, while the last ramp room player rotates to the rafters, delaying the T's as much as possible until his backup arrives from the other side.

A Miscellaneous Setup:

Rival does a nice setup in the upper bombsite, although it requires one player to lose about 25 health at the beginning of every round. One player still defends from the rafters, but the floor player (instead of coming from the outside) drops from the rafters onto the floor boxes, losing 25 health in the process. The CT covering the outside area first pushes, flashing the outside passage near T spawn, but then rotates back and defends the entrance to the upper bombsite. He can also set up on top of the shed inside the upper bombsite and watch a small sliver of the outside, but this setup allows for the offense to get by undetected if they move in a wide enough formation.
