Overpass: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:39, 21 February 2026

Overpass is a bomb defusal map in Counter-Strike 2 set in a Berlin park area near a canal, overseen by a train overpass. It is known for its unique layout that gives CTs immediate access to the A bombsite and features diverse gameplay between its open A site and its underground B site.

Overview

Overpass features a distinctive layout where the CT spawn is positioned directly adjacent to the A bombsite, giving CTs an immediate defensive presence. The B site is located underground in a canal/tunnels area, creating a stark contrast between the open, utility-heavy A site and the close-quarters, aim-heavy B site. This duality makes Overpass one of the most strategically diverse maps in the pool.

Map Layout

Key Areas

A Site

A Long - Extended corridor approach from T side
Bathrooms/Restrooms - Interior route to A site
Truck - A vehicle on A site providing cover
Bank - An open area near A site
Party - An area with festive decorations near A site
Playground - Open area with play equipment near T approach

B Site

B Short - Quick route from mid area to B site
B Long - Extended underground route through monster
Monster - A tunnel entrance to B site area
Graffiti - An underground area with street art near B site
Pillar - Support columns on B site providing cover
Water/Canal - The waterway running through the B area
Heaven - Elevated position overlooking B site

Mid/Connectors

Connector - Links the A site area to B site area
Fountain - A central feature in the park area
Ivy/Stairs - Steps connecting areas near T approach

Key Callouts

Callout	Location
Monster	Tunnel entrance to B site
Connector	Link between A and B areas
Bathrooms	Interior route to A site
Truck	Vehicle on A site
Graffiti	Underground area near B
Heaven	Elevated B site position
Water	Canal area near B site
Playground	Open area near T approach
Bank	Open area near A site
Party	Decorated area near A site

Competitive Meta

Overpass is generally considered a balanced map with a slight CT advantage due to the immediate A site access. The map rewards creative utility usage and innovative strategies.

T-Side Strategy

A site executes require heavy utility to clear CT positions on the immediately accessible site
B site takes through Monster and Short require coordination and smoke coverage
Connector control is key for mid-round rotations and information

CT-Side Strategy

Immediate A site presence allows aggressive holds from the start of each round
B site benefits from strong utility holds in the underground areas
Rotation times are manageable, allowing flexible defensive setups
