―Official description


Demolition is a game mode featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive under the War Games category.

Overview[]

Demolition mode is a hybrid of the Bomb Scenario mode and the fan-made Gun Game mode. The round time is 1 minute and 30 seconds and team sizes are 6 versus 6 players. The game has 10 rounds with the first to reach 6 rounds winning the game or the game ends in a draw when both sides win 5 rounds each. The round winning conditions for the two teams are:

  • Counter-Terrorists
    • Run down the round timer without the Terrorists ever planting the C4 Explosive
    • Defuse the C4 after it has been planted.
    • Eliminate all Terrorists (not available after the C4 was planted)
  • Terrorists
    • Plant the C4 explosive and run down its countdown without the Counter-Terrorists defusing it
    • Eliminate all Counter-Terrorists

Demolition maps are prefixed with de_. Bomb Scenario maps also are prefixed with de_, but the two lists of maps are complete separate.

On November 13, 2017, the game mode was moved from its former Arsenal grouping to War Games along with Arms Race.

Gameplay[]

Buy menus are unavailable and money will not be rewarded, weapons cannot be thrown away and will disappear as soon as their user dies. Instead, all players start a round with the weapon on their current level, the knife, a defusal kit (as a CT), and a Terrorist player is randomly given the C4. Any players who made a (non-teamkill) kill that round will receive a new weapon in the next round, going down the arrangement of weapons and losing their weapon used in the last round.

If a player eliminates more than one enemy player in the same round, highly valued equipment, like the HE grenade, will be rewarded. If a player did not use the rewarded equipments, it will be kept through the rounds until the player is killed. Players cannot pick up dropped weapons and grenades.

The goal of this scenario is simple and quite similar to Bomb Defusal (de). The only characteristics that are prominent are that the Arsenal: Demolition maps are only small to medium sized with only one bombsite and that players do not have the free choice to purchase or select desired weapons. Instead, weapons and equipment (such as grenades) is automatically given.

This game mode is favored more by players who enjoy overcoming challenges, such as wielding less desirable weapons. Generally, the weapon assortment for Arsenal: Demolition features firearms that are progressively less suited for engaging groups of enemies at close proximity. This is evidenced by the fact that many of the weapons in this scenario have a low firing rate and/or inflict less damage compared to a handful of other firearms.

Trivia[]

  • The Arsenal: Demolition maps are unique as they are the first official maps to feature only one bombsite.
    • Furthermore, the Demolition mode is somewhat reminiscent of the cut Escape scenario from the Counter-Strike beta, as both scenarios feature both teams switching roles at a specific time.
  • Every map in the Demolition game mode, excluding Shortdust and Shorttrain, is based off a campaign level from the Left 4 Dead series.
  • Prior to the Operation Vanguard update, friendly fire was enabled by default on all Demolition games.
  • Weapons cannot be dropped in this game mode.
