Overpass
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.
