Map Appearances

The Spetsnaz appear in 3 missions:

Secret War

A team of Spetsnaz operatives (with the player among them) are sent to a Soviet missile silo in order to decommission it and evacuate all personnel. Unfortunately, all of the personnel was killed and most of the team perished during this mission. Only the player and 2 other operatives escaped from the silo. They were later followed by a Hind which was quickly shot down by the player.

During the start, the Spetsnaz only gives order to the player. At mid-point, he is assisted in-combat and by radio communication. In the last part, they evacuate the player.

Thin Ice

The player (who is again a Spetsnaz operative) is sent in solo into a Russian nuclear powered ship that is about to collide with a city. The player's mission is to stop the ship and eliminate any opposition on board. The Spetsnaz only assists the player via radio-communication.

Pipe Dream

A Spetsnaz team is sent to an oil pipeline in order to eliminate a Terrorist group and rescue the personnel. At the start of the mission, the player is accompanied by a squad. At mid-point, he is on his own then later, he and the hostages are escorted out by a Spetsnaz helicopter.

Trivia

  • The game file name for this player model is "spetsnaz".
  • This model may be randomly chosen for the player in the Tour of Duty mode. Moreover, bots do not use this model in this mode but they may randomly choose it in multiplayer mode if they do not have a preferred model.
  • In Deleted Scenes, the Spetsnaz uses the AK-47 as their assault rifle weapon instead of typical the M4A1 that most Counter-Terrorists AI uses.
  • In real life, Spetsnaz is an umbrella term for all Russian special forces. Their in-game depiction seems to depict a generic Russian Counter-Terrorist special force instead of any one particular real life Counter-Terrorist forces.
  • They were originally scheduled to appear in Counter-Strike Source, but it may be because in reality, the Russian anti-terrorism forces only use weapons made in Russia (such as the terrorist patent AK-47), and Valve could not specially make a unique purchase menu for a Counter-Terrorists faction, so they were cut off, Midwest Militia, who was also involved with them as the skin of the No. 5 terrorist, was cut together.
  • You can find their intro text with Midwest Militia remnants in cstrike_english in the Counter-Strike Source game directory.
