De-Train
A very popular, old school, small map filled with a ton of trains and hiding places. This is a map for campers and people who like to attack by surprise. In this map strategy, I will be providing you with
general information,
first contact with the enemy,
T strategies,
CT strategies,
frag hints, and
sniping/camping locations.
General Information
In this map, the choice of weaponry should depend on which route you choose to travel by. Be sure to be quick, move fast, and never give up a corner to an opposing enemy. This map has enough corners, walls, and boxes to hide behind so take advantage of them. Be vigilant, keep on your toes, and watch out -- an enemy can pop out behind any corner at any time! This is a grenade map, so have one in handy at all times.
Bombsite A is the trainyard location, with multiple cars around. Bombsite B is near the roof and the power box. They're about equidistant from the CT spawn.
First Contact with the Enemy
» When you reach the box hallway or have nearly reached the far end.
» As soon as you can see the main entrance.
» As soon as you have reached the cross passage.
» When you have reached the ladder or when you are halfway down the cross passage.
Terrorists
The box hallway and CT base are great places to have an MP5, M4 Colt, or AK-47 with you. Before going into the passage, make sure it is clear of enemies and then throw a flashbang. Once you have reached the far end of the passage, watch for the corner behind the box as well as the roof. Do not kneel, because, if you do, you will be trapped there. Instead, use short strafing movements and fire in short bursts. If there are no opponents there, move back and move left towards the CT Ramp. I suggest you keep an eye on the boxcars to your right. Note: Pick off any CTs you see on the ramp with an HE Grenade and watch out for grenades close to the CT Base.
The main entrance, middle passage, and bombsite B are all good places to use a rifle. Move slowly when using an AWM, look around every corner, and keep clear of the trains. If, however, you equip yourself with a rapid-fire weapon, stay near the trains and avoid free spaces at all costs while hurrying down to the middle passage. Throw a grenade into the middle passage as you leave the main entrance. Then move quickly towards the power box and look towards the bomb car. If this is devoid of CTs, either crawl under it or to your right to pass underneath it or run directly to the middle passage. Toss a flashbang before entering. Carefully examine every corner, then place your bomb so that is it by the corner near the two train tunnels. You can also guard the bomb from the roof or from the position near the ladder.

Counter-Terrorists
This hall to bombsite A must be defended. |
The box hallway and CT base are important to cover with a Colt, AUG, or AWM. Cover the box hallway well and watch the main entrance while rushing there to prevent from being picked off by any Ts from the side. Take up a good position near the passage where you have enough cover. From good positions, you can spy through narrow gaps and observe the box hallway. Immediately throw an HE Grenade there to spot an enemy. If the terrorists rush, quickly and repeatedly strafe the box and try to land head shots. If you cannot hold up the passage, retreat to the CT base and wait near the ramp. Take cover as soon as you see a terrorist and bomb him with grenades. This is most effective in weakening rushing opponents. Remember the that there are two other CT entrances. so keep an eye out on them.
Counter Terrorist
This sniping area is the only smart sniping location in the front yard, near bombsite B. Be sure to check it every time you come in the open. |
The cross passage, ladder, and bombsite A require much cover with good guns like the AWM or AUG. When you reach this position, aim upwards and take aim just at the window where you can see guys coming down. Be careful not to stay here too long because you will become a good target for the enemies. Use flashbangs to avoid rushing terrorists or if you become unsafe in combat. Take a good cover by the stairs so an MP5 marksmen does not see all of you when you surprise attack him from the stairs. Now climb down the ladder and attack any opponents that come from behind. As an alternative, guard the square by seating yourself atop the bomb car. Remember to watch your back every now and then. You can also guard the second plant zone by placing yourself in the passive near the freight cars. Switch positions as soon as an opponent appears in either passage. Otherwise, another terrorist coming from the other passage will enjoy killing you easily.
Frag Hints
» As a T, I recommend you rush through one of the paths and attempt to eliminate your opponents from the side or from the rear. Also climb atop the trains to surprise the CTs with attacks from above. Of course, this is assuming that there are no opponents on the roof near the tall ladder.
» As a CT, I suggest you reach both plant zones from the middle passage. Keep running back and forth in order to accumulate frags. As on nearly every map, it is worth risking to attack your opponents from a passage rather than a rear.
Sniping/Camping Locations
You can protect the bombsite or the bomb by hiding under the train cars of bombsite A. |
» Underneath the trains makes a great place to camp. You have good cover and shadows to protect you so no terrorist/CT marksmen can see you. You can also attack easily from this location with a good view of all around you.
Note:
Watch out for the grenades, though! » A terrorist rusher has a good opportunity to make it to the stairs and cover there. You have a small nook for cover where you can attack any other rushing CT men. Be prepared with a HE Grenade and a Flashbang to avoid all big attacks from the rear, as well.
» A CT can cover the CT base by the ramp. You have a box which protects you from one passage and a ramp which protects you from another passage. A two-in-one covering deal to give you great aim and a great view of any other opposing terrorists!
