The purpose for which the remake of the server was invented stems from the need to professionally train tactical interaction with teammates while holding the terrorist bomb at the point from attempts to clear mines during an attack on the site by special forces who allowed the explosives to be planted. For ordinary CS GO players, such servers are, of course, mainly fun and an opportunity to try out a new interesting game mode that really tickles the nerves.
On retake CS GO servers, where ordinary gamers play, it is never known how many teammates there will be in the team, and how many opponents, where the bomb will be planted, where enemies and teammates will spawn, what weapons will be used. There is only a ticking timer of 45 seconds, a lot of stress and drive, which is why many gamers love CS GO retake servers.
Pros and cons
The advantages of playing retake include:
-
The ability to act confidently under stress, to find the right solutions under time pressure.
-
Study the features of the game of terror during the defense of a bomb site, as well as the nuances of the actions of special forces during defusement. Thus, increase your skill in team actions and understanding of Counter Strike.
-
Retake servers in CS GO improve flexibility and the ability to quickly rebuild, as teams switch sides at the end of the round.
Of course, just as a coin has a downside, retake servers also have disadvantages.
Firstly, this game mode is addictive for some players. In general, they can be understood: CS GO retake servers offer a very dynamic, fast and exciting action that is easy to get hooked on. To avoid this, either avoid retakes if you feel addicted to them, or periodically play other modes.
Secondly, critics of retakes argue that they are useless, since during a regular skating rink, where terrorists need to first plant a bomb and only then defend it, there are practically no situations simulated on retake CS GO servers.
How to defeat your opponents
The most important thing to firmly understand is that in a retake you only have 45 seconds, while in competitive play the round lasts 1 minute 55 seconds. There is simply no time for long thought and thorough collection of information about enemies. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to cope with stress and learn to act under time pressure.
The second thing you need to learn is the places on the map where you should throw grenades. Look, what’s the trick: on any retake server without prime or with it, it doesn’t matter, the smoke from the smoke dissipates over time, as in a regular game, i.e. 16 seconds. And you only have 45 seconds, of which a correctly thrown smoke blower will eat 16 seconds. And if you also take into account that special forces need at least 5 seconds to defuse if they have a demining kit, or 10 seconds without it, then on a retake every second is worth its weight in gold for them. Accordingly, you need to understand that a grenade thrown by special forces at the wrong point will give precious information about their location to the terrorists, which makes it very difficult to storm the target.
How to defeat your opponents (part two)
We continue to tell you about tactics that bring success in battles on retaken servers in CS GO.
The third thing to think about is the ineffectiveness of constantly using the tactics of a massive attack on a site for special forces. If you act like this over and over again, sooner rather than later the terrors will understand how to play against you. The result is unnecessary losses.
Fourth. When playing as the Terrors, there is a reason to meet CTs on the distant approaches to the site while maintaining the opportunity to retreat there if necessary. The fact is that some inexperienced players on the retake CS GO servers, acting as special forces, simply do not think about anything and do not look at their positions, because they believe that they will only be met at the point. Prepare an unpleasant surprise for them.
Fifth. If the situation allows, then spend 2 to 5 seconds collecting information about your opponent. Stop and you'll probably hear him stomping or jumping. The ability to make an easy frag is never superfluous.
Where to look for retake servers for the game?
There are 2 main options for searching:
-
In the game itself. To do this, you need to go into it and go to “Search for community servers.” Then in the “Tags” field enter the keyword “retake”. A selection of retake CS GO servers will open, where you can select the map you are interested in and track the ping. Come in and win with our tips!
-
Find monitoring sites through search engines.
The second option requires some explanation, since not all players have prime status, which gives the right to use all the benefits of CS GO on Steam. In this regard, there is a problem of finding reliable monitoring of retake servers that do not need prime, that do not glitch and, at the same time, have a low ping.
Such secure monitoring, collaborating with Steam, exists. On the Cybershock retake website, the servers are conveniently organized; you can immediately find the card you need, where they will communicate in a language you understand. If you have problems with the search, then use the filters at the top of the page. By the way, one of the filters allows you to sort servers without a prime from the rest.
Interesting trivia about retakes
First. Find permanent partners to play on retake CS GO servers, preferably playing at the same level as you. As a rule, during the skating rink you will often meet inadequate or gamers of different levels, which obviously will not add to the pleasure of Counter Strike.
Second. Take risks, try something new and unusual during the rounds, stretch your brain, especially if there is little room for creativity in everyday life.
Third. What's interesting is that there was a request for game modes like the retake long before Valve officially announced them. However, this has become a bad tradition: developers are late in making decisions that the community requires them to make regarding the game. The same thing happened with retake servers in CS GO. They were launched only at the beginning of December 2020, simultaneously with Operation Broken Fang.
