then press and hold their ‘use’ key until the bomb is defused. Buying a defuse kit will halve the time
required to defuse a bomb.

Escape
The terrorist team starts out in a fortified location and must "escape" to one of the pre-defined escape
points. The CT's must exterminate them before they can escape. The Terrorists win the round once 50%
of the team has successfully escaped. They can also break into the armory to steal weapons, or just get
out of there. The two teams will switch roles after every 8 rounds of play. Both sides can also win the
scenario if they manage to wipe the opposition team out.

Assassination
One member of the CT team will serve as the VIP. The object is to get the VIP safely to the pre-defined
escape points. If he dies, the CT's lose the round. If he makes it safely, the CT's win. The VIP has a
unique skin, only carries a knife and pistol, and has ample body armor.

The terrorist job is to assassinate the VIP, but with the other CT's guarding the VIP it is never an easy
task.

Certain weapons cannot be purchased by each team in this gameplay scenario, and these will be grayed
out on the weapon selection screen.

Money

Various events in the course of a Counter-Strike game can earn you money (to a maximum of $16000) or
cost you money. This money can be used to buy better equipment. The following is a summary of these
events and their associated cost:

Action Payoff / Fine

Rescuing a Hostage $1000 for individual, $150 for team mates (awarded at
end of round)
Kill a Hostage -$1500 for individual
‘Use’ a Hostage $150 for individual, $100 for team mates
Kill Opponent $300 for individual
Kill Team Mate -$3300 for individual
Terrorists Win by Bombing Target $2750 for team members
Win by Elemination Hostage map $2000 for team members
Win by Elemination Bomb map $2500 for team members
CTs Defuse Bomb $2750 for team members
CTs Win by Rescuing Hostages $2000 for team members + Hostage bonuses
Surviving Hostage Bonus $150 per hostage for team members
Hostages Rescued Bonus $250 per hostage for CT team members
Either Team Loses Round $1400 for team members
Either Team Loses over 2 Consecutive $1400 + $500 per round over 2 (to maximum $2900)
Rounds for team members

Money can be spent on weapons whenever the player is standing in a buy zone. This is indicated by the
presence of the buy icon on the Heads Up Display (see HUD below).

Game Flow

Prior to the round starting, there is a variable grace period (the server can change this, but it defaults to
five seconds) during which players cannot move but may buy equipment and weapons. Each round of
Counter-Strike lasts for five minutes. If neither team has won after this time the round is considered a win
depending on the scenario:

- Hostage: If after the round ends and there is at least 1 player left on both teams, and not
all the hostages have been rescued then the game will be a win for the terrorists.
- Bomb / Defuse: If the round ends, with the bomb having not blown up a target, and there
is still at least 1 player left on both sides the CT's will win.
- Escape: If the round ends, with at least 1 player alive on both teams, and less than 50%
of the terrorists have escape, the CT's will win.
- Assassination: If the round ends, with players left on both teams and the VIP has not
reached the escape point, the terrorists win.

When a player is killed during a round they will enter an observer mode until the next round. While in
observer mode, they can fly around the level and watch the action. There are three types of observer
modes. The first is ghost mode, where the player can freely fly around the level unobstructed by anything.
The second is locked chasecam. While in locked chasecam you will be locked behind the player you are
observing. The third is freelook chasecam, in this mode you can freely swing the camera around the
player you are observing. While in the observer modes you can use the jump key (see Controls, Jump)
to switch between the three modes and the fire button (see Controls, Fire) to switch from one player to
the next. If a player joins into a game when a round is already in progress, they will be immediately placed
into observer mode until the current round ends.

Heads Up Display (HUD)

Whilst playing you will always see the HUD. On the HUD you'll see: TOP OF HUD - left to right

Radar - Useful for seeing the approximate location of your team mates. You will see five
symbols on the radar:

A purple dot = Team mate.

A red dot = Location of the VIP (Shown only to CT's in assassination scenarios) /
Bomb carrier (Shown to only to terrorists in bomb / defuse scenarios).
A T shape = Indicates your tame mate is a level above you.
A upside down T shape = Indicates your team mate is a level below you.
A yellow square = A team mate has activated a radio command.

Weapon / equipment selection menu - Will show the weapon you select. Upon selecting
a weapon the menu will flash for only 5 seconds to show the weapon you select then
disappear. Default keys for the weapons & equipment are:

1 - Primary weapon (Large guns)

2 - Secondary weapon (Pistols)
3 - Knife
4 - Grenades
5 - Bomb (Available only to the terrorist who carries the bomb in the bomb / defuse
scenario)

Flashlight - All Counter-Strike players are equipped with a flashlight. Toggle it on and off
by pressing the flashlight key (see Controls, flashlight). When your flashlight is on other
players will see the area surrounding you glowing brightly.

BOTTOM OF HUD - left to Right

Health Meter - You will start a round with 100 units of health, and die when your health
reaches zero.

Armor level - Two types of armor can be purchased; a kevlar vest or a vest paired with a
helmet. The helmet is moderately affective at reducing damage when hit in the head.

Round Timer - Counts down from 5 minutes (the server can change this, but it defaults to
five minutes). A round ends when either the objective of the round has been completed,
i.e. in Bomb / defuse scenarios the bomb has blown, or if all the players on a team have
been eliminated. If the timer reaches zero with neither the objective being completed or all
players on one team having been eliminated then, depending on the scenario one side will
automatically win. (see GameFlow, list).

Ammo Indicator - Your current ammo count is displayed in the lower right hand area,
under the cash display. Ammo is broken up into two separate counts: the number of shots
 in your clip, and the number in your inventory. When your clip is exhausted, it is
automatically reloaded for you. If you would like to reload before your clip before it is
empty press your reload key. (see Controls, Reloading).

Cash - Your current account balance. Additions to the cash balance are briefly shown
above the balance in green numbers. Fines and penalties are shown in red.

MIDDLE LEFT OF HUD

Depending on your location you will not see all of these icons on the HUD. All these icons are colored
green:

Basket (Buy Zone)- This means your in your 'buy zone'. Here pressing your buy key
(default B) will give you access to the buy menu where you will be able to buy weapons,
ammo, and equipment.

R (Hostage rescue Zone) - When a counter-terrorist is at the spot where hostages must be
delivered, this icon will appear.

V (VIP escape point) - When a counter-terrorist or VIP is at the spot where the VIP must
reach to escape, this icon will appear.

E (Terrorist escape point) - When a terrorist is at the spot where the terrorist can 'escape',
this icon will appear.

Bomb - This will only be seen by a terrorist who is carrying the bomb in the bomb / defuse
scenario. When the bomb carrier is within the bomb delivery zone, this icon will flash.

Defuse kit - The icon looking like a pair of wirecutters, will appear on the HUD of any CT
player that has bought a Defuse Kit.

Scoreboard - Seen when pressing the score key (default key, tab). The scoreboard lists
all the latest game statistics and player status. Information on the scorecard tells you who
is dead or alive, who is carrying the bomb, player kills and deaths, latency and team
scores.

Hints

Sound, Pros and Cons

Stealth is vitally important in Counter-Strike. When a player runs at full tilt (which is the default), their
footsteps can be heard. To prevent this, use the walk key (see Controls, Walk) when trying to avoid
detection. Also be wary of doors, ladders and elevators. These will often emit a sound that may give you
or your enemies position away.

Life is Precious
Counter-Strike strives for realism. Running into a firefight all gung-ho will generally get you killed. The
player can only sustain a few bullet shots before dying, depending on the type of gun (ammunition
actually) being shot with, and the condition and presence of kevlar. There are also one hit kills in CS.
Most guns can kill a player in one shot if they connect with the head. Savvy CS players, will take cover as
often as possible and use their surroundings to their advantage. Working with your teammates to bring
the enemy down is encouraged and necessary to beat the other team. Keep in mind, you only get one life
per round in CS. If you die, you will be put into Observer mode until the round is over.

Know Your Gun

Counter-Strike has realistically modeled weaponry. If you run and fire at the same time, your accuracy will
be horrible (changes with different guns), Standing still increases accuracy and crouching is even better.
Also be aware of the guns recoil, holding down the trigger isn’t as effective as short quick bursts. It is also
important to know that all the rifles can shoot through walls to some extent. The Para Machine Gun, and
the Desert Eagle Pistol can as well.

Map Voting System (New to beta6.5)

There is now a way for players to vote for maps. Players can type 'listmaps' to see the maps available to
vote on, and then they type 'votemap X' where X is the corresponding number of the map. Only after a
certain number of players have voted for the map which one player has started a vote on, will the sever
change map.

Note: Server admins who want to add new maps must also add an entry into mapcycle.txt,
that allows players to vote on any new maps.
