Italy is one of the most beautifully carved map.
Not only that, it is also fun to play and has many
different routes and tricks. It is a fun map
to play and is hard to get bored of it. The
hostages are located at the Terrorist spawning point
in a house, which is northeast of the
Counter-Terrorist spawning area. This
map is fun to play as there are little extra things
u can do like killing the chickens and blowing up
the radio.
Strategies:
The key
to winning for this map is cooperation especially
for the Counter-Terrorists. There are
many diffrent routes to the Hostage room and it
works best if all the team stick together. I
have seen a large group of counter-terrorists going
by the cellar and taking out the 3 by 3 terrorists
guarding diffrent points.
For
counter-terrorist, experiment with the diffrent
routes to the base. You have a two way route
when you start. You can split your team into
two groups and meet up at the hostage room. If
one group doesn't survive, the other group can do
the work.
For Terrorists,
stay and guard the spawning area. Guard the
door from the balcony, the stairs and the long
tunnel. Get some snipers up there in the
hostage room to guard the tunnel and a few close
range players to guard the stairs. You can
defend the door with a few terrorists. If you
find any counter-terrorists there, throw a flash and
raid inside it.
