Final option is one of the newest Counter-Strike maps. In fact, it was included in the final beta update (v7.1) a month before the retail edition of the game arrived on store shelves (v1.0).
Final option starts counter-terrorists off in the satellite control room, which has two major exit points. Take a team member or two and pounce through the exit point that leads to the hallway with two automatic doors and viewpoints over the nuclear missile bay.
Rush through this area quickly, stopping only long enough to take care of the terrorists that are slowly proceeding through the automatic door on their side of the map. Once you're through, bust a move to the left and check the nuke silo for any signs of activity. If it's vacant, you must rush down to the lower level to support the rest of the counter-terrorists that took the head-on approach way back at your spawn point. With any luck, you'll come up from the flank side of the main terrorist force and blow it away quickly.
You've got to move quickly as a terrorist in Final Option, and the best way to do it is straight ahead and to the left. Get to your automatic door, which leads to the high side viewpoint of the nuke silo and rush through it. By this time, it's common to see some counter-terrorists on the other side of the nuke silo rushing in the opposite direction, so feel free to crouch or engage them if possible. Be sure to hit the button that closes the blast windows, so they can't see or fire through that area once you're through it.
The second automatic door is where it gets tricky. Open it's once, throw a flashbang, back off, and count to two. Then, rush like a madman through the door and take out any counter-terrorists that are camping in the area. Just a few more steps to your right, and it's bomb plant city. One last note: Defend the bomb! Don't run away after planting it - if you're the bomb carrier, have the guts to stay until it detonates, guaranteeing your team a victory.

You can plant the bomb almost anywhere in this room |
It's easy to climb out through the blast windows above the nuke silo, but did you know you can actually perch yourself on one of the two security cameras in the corners of the room? Look for them right next to the last window and enjoy. This works best if you're a counter-terrorist, since you can hail down a rain of bullets onto terrorists attempting to plant the bomb.
