de_dust2 is a Bomb Defusal map. Buy at the start of the round, take map control toward a bombsite, and either plant and defend the C4 or rotate to defuse. A planted bomb detonates in 45 seconds; a defuse kit halves your defuse time. On Combat Skirmish it runs directly in your browser through WebAssembly — click Play and you are dropped straight onto a live public server, no Steam account or download required.

Tips for de_dust2
Long A is decided by whoever holds the doubledoors angle first, so a CT who takes it early and an AWP that survives the first ten seconds usually own the round. Mid-to-B tunnels is the T side's cheapest route: dark, short, and it forces the CT to fight at close range. Learn the smoke that blinds the CT spawn sniper before learning anything else.
