Learn CT tactics for the Train map in Counter-Strike: Source. Discover when to push, how to use smokes, and leverage train cars for cover.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You get plenty of opportunities to get aggressive on Train when it comes to pushing areas, whether that be Ivy, A Main or Brown Halls.
  2. 2
    Be aware that Terrorists (Ts) don't spread out on this map nearly as much as they usually do, and that you can walk into a 1v2 or worse when you do this.
  3. 3
    Sneak in, call your intel, fire some shots, and get out.
  4. 4
    You'll notice that Train's layout is full of alleys and chokepoints.
  5. 5
    Buy smokes and use them liberally on this map.
  6. 6
    Communicate with your AWPers as well to make sure you don't accidentally shut off their lane.
  7. 7
    A lot of the train cars can be climbed for a positional advantage at the expense of cover (a surface or object that provides protection from enemy fire).
  8. 8
    Generally, you should stay on the ground level and use the cars for cover until you get your initial reads (information about enemy positions and actions).
  9. 9
    Then you can start climbing and get to a better spot for entries.
Tips
  • Be aware that Ts don't spread out on Train as much as on other maps.
  • Use smokes liberally due to the map's alleys and chokepoints.
  • Communicate with AWPers to avoid blocking their sightlines.
  • Climbing train cars offers a positional advantage but sacrifices cover.
  • Use train cars for cover initially before attempting climbs.
