Retaking Bombsite B as CT:

Retaking bombsite B is all a matter of coordination and improvisation, based on the number of players remaining on both teams. In certain situations where there are a small number of players left, for example one versus one, one versus two, or two versus two, it is in your best interest as a CT to keep your eyes on the doors. This will help you tell when terrorists cross over, before and after the bomb is planted. If there is one terrorist left and he plants the bomb, as long as you have got your eyes on the opening of the doors, you know that he has to be in the back of the site somewhere and you do not have to worry about the halls or car area. However, if he does run across to the left side of the map, you have to worry about whether he is in the halls or behind the box by the car. There is a great way to handle this situation. Hop up on the rock into window, and strafe in and out of the window for a split second so you can grab a peek to see if he is in halls or by the box. Then go back to the doors, and throw a flash inside so it lands past the platform box so it will blind anyone behind the box or in the hallway.

When there are a large number of players remaining, it is all about coordination and communication. I recommend always sending one person through the halls when trying to retake bombsite B. He can take advantage of throwing a flashbang at the angle shown below to blind anyone watching the stairs from the hallway area.

He must move quickly and be sure to check the hall coming from spawn for a Terrorist waiting to catch him. Keep in mind it is to your advantage to make a lot of noise in this hall. This is because anyone hiding in the area by the car will hear your footsteps and alert his teammates. This could cause his teammates and himself to be distracted, knowing you are coming. The other Counter-Terrorists waiting outside the doors should throw their flashbangs over the wall to hit anyone in the back of the site. Make sure you do this in a coordinated fashion and give each other the “go” as to when to enter the site.

Attacking B as Terrorist

General Knowledge:

When hard rushing B , you have to accept the fact that you may lose one or two people. This is perfectly fine, as long as you trade kills with the Counter-Terrorists equally or better. It should always be easier to defend than to retake.

Rushing Hard:

When executing a hard rush to bombsite B, the lead rusher should always have a flashbang. It is his responsibility to throw the flashbang into the bombsite. Being the lead rusher makes you the most important player on the team, at that moment. It is your job to get the flashbang into the site properly, and to never stop moving forward. If you stop for even a second, or stop and sidestep, your entire team’s rush will be compromised. Something you may want to do as lead rusher is to jump out and draw fire from wherever a CT may be. This allows your teammates to attack him, while he focuses on you. You have to be prepared to go down, “taking one for the team,” in a sense. It is a good procedure at the start of the round to make a couple of decisions based on your spawns. First, will you leave one man at the spawn to watch the double doors? Spotting the double doors from spawn will give you a good estimate of how many Counter-Terrorists you can expect to encounter when entering the site. Spotting the middle can also be used to reveal any Counter-Terrorists trying to sneak into lower B halls, in which case your team can check the stairs when rushing, and not get shot in the side. The downside, obviously, is that you are one man down, on the rush. The best way to handle this, if you are the one spotting middle is to spot how many Counter-Terrorists have crossed and then catch up to your team as soon as possible. Do not worry about getting any kills. You are simply scouting out the defense. The middle spotter should then pick up the flank from outside the hall from spawn, or from some other position within B halls, depending on the situation. If you decide not to spot the middle, then the next decision should be up to your in-game leader or whoever is in charge.
