Overview
Edit
Counter-Terrorists must rescue hostages captured and put into a warehouse by a group of Terrorists. Despite being included in Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source, both versions are noteworthy for their extreme differences. Counter-Strike: Source brought forth a very realistic approach, as well as excluding the Security Cameras. Besides taking away the cameras, one of the major changes was the replacement of the highway with the train station. Some players got frustrated with the new changes, however, they are still present in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Even so, Assault is still one of the most popular maps in all Counter-Strike series.

TriviaEdit
- Counter-Strike: Condition Zero does not include this map despite its extreme popularity.
- Although, it does include a navigation mesh for bots
- There are several and important changes that were different in Counter-Strike Beta 1.0 version of Assault.
- The Hostages do not have their own room. They are just standing in the Terrorist Spawn Zone of the camera room.
- There are no containers past the back entrance.
- The second ladder on one of the containers near the front entrance is missing.
- The containers near the front entrance are in a different position compared to later versions.
- There is no additional vent that is leading to T Spawn Zone camera room. Also, the lightning in the vents is missing (it's lot darker).
- The bridge nor the road under the bridge are inaccessible. These pathways were blocked off by a police blockade and a fence respectively.
- Dumpsters near the bridge are missing.
- The containers in Counter-Strike have the Black Mesa logo on them while in Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, it has the "Starline" logo.
- This map is unbalanced and gives an advantage to the Terrorist team as they can easily swarm around higher sections of the map, including the warehouse.
- The bots have common navigation problems in this map due to its narrow passages, such as the catwalks in the warehouse or the vent accesses. In early Counter-Strike games, bots may fall themselves to death sometimes.
- This map is classed as small so it's better for small/medium sized servers.
- In Counter-Strike and Condition Zero, the CT Spawn Zone does not show the Hostage rescue zone on the HUD, but instead the Buy zone is used same as Rescue zone.
- In Counter-Strike: Source, if one becomes a spectator and goes through the ground near the CT spawn zone , there is a random room with a boot in it.
