Final Option (de_foption) was an official bomb defusal map featured in the Counter-Strike beta and it made its last appearance in Counter-Strike 1.0. It was the only official map to feature 3 bombsites.
Overview[]
The setting of the map takes place in a nuclear missile silo in which the terrorists are attempting to destroy the compound, while the counter-terrorists must prevent the terrorists from achieving their goal. Unlike other official bomb defusal maps, Final Option contains three bombsites which may have led the Valve developers to create "Bombsite C" until its eventual removal.
Official Description[]
Counter-Terrorists: Prevent the Terrorists from bombing critical areas of the Silo 15 as they attempt to disable or destroy the complex.
Terrorists: Destroy one of the 3 vital components of the silo.
There are 3 bomb points in this mission:
1) The Titan Nuclear ICBM
2) The Communication Center
3) The power/fuel/ventilation Core
Development[]
The map was designed by John "Poor Yurik" Attea and shares obvious similarities with a previous hostage rescue map by Attea, Zero Option. Influence was also taken from Fallout, as the terrorist spawn zone is brushed exactly like Vault 15 in that game. The map made its initial appearance in beta 7.0.
While designing the map he was on a cable modem and could not play test it, so an exploit involving an electricity field intended to stop camping in the terrorist spawn slipped through. Players discovered that if the activation button was pressed near the very end of a round the field would still trigger and electrocute the Terrorist team at the start of the next round. The electricity field was therefore removed for Beta 7.1. The same update brought new decals and altered vent lids so they open when a player approaches rather than being breakable.
Due to a mix-up at Valve Software Counter-Strike 1.0, the subsequent release of the game, shipped the original Beta 7.0 build of the map rather than a patched version, which Attea felt might have contributed to its subsequent removal.[1]
Foption was not included in the retail version of Counter-Strike.
Trivia[]
- It appears that the Spawn Zone of the Counter-Terrorists is located in a communications center while the Spawn Zone of the Terrorists is at the emergency exit of the silo.
- In the security station next to the communication center, there are 6 usable security cameras.
- The ladder in the Terrorist spawn zone that heads up to the surface cannot be climbed.
- Falling into the pit of the rocket will kill and the console will say the victim was killed with "trigger_hurt".
- The blast doors and the observation window can crush and kill players. As such, the console will read that a victim was killed with a "door".
- Behind the wall of the storage room, there would be a cube - or a visual glitch.
