Backalley is a map in 1.6 and Global Offensive that features tight corridors, many ladders, and rescue zones.
Guides[]
- Due to its relatively small size, using shotguns and the Desert Eagle work very well, especially in the tunnels and the alley where there are little to no spaces available to escape.
- When playing as a CT operative, beware of the doors in the alley as it is easy to ambush a team from both doors by using the hostages as human shields.
- Be warry of fall damage, especially on the balconies where you might fall off the ladders. A fall from most of the balconies will do around 30 to 40 damage.
- Be alert of the end of the alley and the balcony. These areas are the most favorable for snipers, skilled AK-47users, and M249 users providing suppressive fire.
- Throwing a smoke grenade in the alley can easily force enemies to back away from the smoke and will most likely fall back rather than charging towards the enemy team. Note some aggressive enemies with powerful automatic weapons, like the M249, may spray bullets into the smoke. Enemy shotgun wielders may also decide to go into the smoke and surprise their opponents.
- Flashbangs can come in handy to clear out enemies in cramped rooms.
- Although risky, HE grenades can flush campers out but this tactic should not be implemented when there are hostages nearby.
- HE grenades are also useful for Terrorists as they can deal heavy damage to multiple Counter-Terrorists in the chokepoints.
- If you play with bots, at the point where some of the hostages are located, they can clearly see enemies behind doors. This gives bots an advantage to fight against human players so always crouch when you want to pass through doors (before entering) without being seen. However, during pistol rounds, bots will shoot at players but the bullets won't go through the door thus human players can wait until bots need to reload. This is the best time to rush and eliminate bots.
- Climb the ladder near the “Pop Dog” billboard (Loading dock in Global Offensive) and destroy the air vent barrier to get into it. Then, you can obtain a height advantage over camping Terrorists in the alley. In the original version of the map, you can also jump from the balcony to the second floor to surprise enemies.
