Siege (cs_siege) is an official hostage rescue map featured in Counter-Strike. Due to numerous sniping positions, the size of the map, and the difficulty in escorting the hostages successfully to the hostage rescue zone, it is one of the less popular Hostage rescue maps.
Valentin Levillain and Marc Bidoul remade Siege for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and it was added to the game as part of Operation Bravo.

Development
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
The map was remade and was changed into an industrial setting secluded in a jungle environment. Balancing issues were addressed and partially fixed to ensure the Counter-Terrorist team was no longer pinned down by Terrorist snipers, especially in the garage at the Terrorist Spawn Zone. Throughout the map. players are given more infiltration routes to take in order to avoid snipers. Moreover. at least one hostage will not spawn at the security center/bunkers and is usually found near the garage.
The official factions are the Pirates and the SWAT Team.

Trivia
- This is the oldest map in Counter-Strike saga that is still played, and the second oldest map ever, before cs_mansion.
- The Counter-Terrorist bots in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero may accidentally fall down the hole just in front of the spawn point, causing severe damage or even death. However, this is very rare as CT bots cannot progress further if they descend down the hole and attempt to travel through the mines as they are unable to use the button to activate the elevator at the end of the mine.
- The elevator in the mines should be used with caution, it is easy to get hurt here.
- In the early beta versions of Counter-Strike, Siege was set in the morning. In Beta 6.1, it was changed to night. In Beta 7.1, it was changed again to evening.
- In Beta 7.1, it is possible to drive the APC at the Counter-Terrorist spawn area.
- Unlike the other Hostage Rescue maps in the beta, Siege featured several routes for infiltration.
- This is the one of the few official maps that has an operational elevator for players to use, though bots will never use the elevator.
