Arab Streets

Type: Hostage rescue
Hostage location: Within the rear of the factory Size: Small

While you'll rarely see this relatively unpopular hostage rescue map being played online, it shouldn't stop you from learning its fundamental strategies for success.

Counter-Terrorist Perspective: Nothing Fancy Here

Counter-terrorists start out in an open area that's protected from two sides, so there's little threat of rushing terrorists taking you out while you're still buying weapons. Once you've suited up, make sure your team sticks together as you rush straight toward the main entry point that leads to the terrorist base camp. As you approach the broken wall that serves as the middle point of the map, beware of terrorists that rushed early and are now camping to the left side from either the small roof or the destroyed building.

Flash the wall opening and rush at full speed through it and to your right side, clearing out any dazed or blinded terrorists as you go. From here it's a clean run to the factory where the hostages are being held, enter from the mechanical door on the ground level and evacuate the hostages back to base.

Terrorist Perspective: Camp Like Crazy

Terrorists have a few choices of which area to defend when playing Arab Streets, but the most common location tends to be the broken wall that leads to the counter-terrorist spawn point. Most of the time, if you can cut off access to this entry point early in the round, it has a similar effect to turning off a kitchen faucet - nothing gets through, and it brings everything to a halt.

Beware of counter-terrorist flashbangs though, and you'll do fine camping here. Be sure to use one of the two building corners for some protection as you fire.

Llama Tip

Camp with the hostages in the factory on the upper level with an auto-shotgun. The tight space forces counter-terrorists to enter a room that's smaller than most college dorm rooms. In this small space, the auto shotgun can have a field day.
