How to Camp the cs_office Project Room in Counter Strike Source

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Purchase secondary glock ammo.

   By the time you are in position to shoot them into the threshold, you should have automatically reloaded. , At this point you should encounter a CT turning right around the corner of T-spawn, if their rush is a complete success. ,, Three stacked cabinets aren't necessarily the best result, but you won't have time to worry about that now, as long as there are cabinets in front of the door.
   
   If the door isn't *totally* blocked, you'll still have a fair chance of hearing an intruder.
   
   However, you will have less time to prepare your flashbang if a CT is able to run straight through the cabinet arcade. ,, That CT will invariably try to jump, or shoot their way through either barricade, unless they encounter resistance from your teammates. , Cabinets & chairs make totally different sounds when they are moved/come in contact with something.
   
   The lighter scraping sound you will recognise from chairs moving across the carpet.
   
   If its cabinets you hear, go to #24.
   
   If it's chairs you hear

   Step 2: Purchase a grenade.

   You need to make sure that the flash goes off at least level with their field of vision, and as close to them as possible.
   
   If the flash explodes behind them, they will only be partially blinded.
   
   You should have used the projector screen wall to screen yourself from the flash, by moving right, behind its width-side. , Normally, CT's will be wary of any Ts hiding in the dark, behind the projector desk & chairs, and will be aiming around there.
   
   That is dependent upon the proximity of your FB hit, however.
   
   If they are only partially blinded, they *may* go behind the projector wall to your left, but you can't afford to risk being flashed by yourself in that instance. , If you threw your FB right, anyone in the doorway should all be blind (and possibly stuck in the barricade) Or retreating (with the barricade partially intact).
   
   If there is no-one visible there, turn and cover your back.
   
   Any partially-blinded CT who took to your left from #21 should be @or near pos#15, covering the hostages, or worse, circling around the projector screen wall to shoot you in the back.
   
   If you think that this has happened, sprint to pos#15, and then to the dark corner along the wall of the hostages.
   
   Crouch.
   
   Wait for them to reappear near the hostages
   - they may possibly think the room is empty and enter the cabinets room, also. , Make sure you have collected any items dropped by kills. , If you hear the cabinets going then it's safe to assume that a CT has already breached T-spawn.
   
   If you have any FB's (Flash Bang's) left, they should already be pin-pulled & ready. ,, This will help temporarily screen you against any insurgent CTs at the far side. ,
