Tips for cs_assault
The most one-sided classic in the pool by design: Ts hold a warehouse with vents, a roof and a front door, and CTs must come to them. The vents are the CT's real chance, and the Ts who watch only the door lose. Flashbangs through the roof hatch decide more rounds than rifles do.
