Reader's Guide
In cs_office, the Counter-Terrorist team's goal is to locate hostages (non-player characters) near the Terrorist spawn point, collect them, and bring them to a rescue zone. The Terrorists win if the round ends due to time running out or if all Counter-Terrorists are eliminated. Either team can also win by eliminating all members of the opposing team. Players start with $800, a knife, and a handgun (USP for Counter-Terrorists, Glock 18c for Terrorists), and can purchase weapons and equipment in buy zones. Killed players become spectators until the round ends.
