Nuke Crew Gang Authorized Employees

We really, really like Nuke.
Although de_nuke has become CS:GO's least favorite step child, this map finds a special place in our hearts for one reason or another. This is a group to find other people who enjoy this map, and to spread information regarding it.


A synopsis of de_nuke
From Counter Strike : Global Offensive Wiki
The map takes place in a warehouse containing nuclear materials or a nuclear power plant. In Global Offensive, the original version of the map takes place a German nuclear power plant, while the revamped version takes place in an American one.

Unlike most Counter-Strike bomb defusal maps, the map revolves around a central structure rather than multiple lanes, with the two bombsites being overlapped on top of each other.

In Global Offensive, before the rehaul, many players had criticized the map for being too CT-sided. Due to the map's unusual structure, CTs have access to a wide array of defensive positions that are very difficult for Ts to reliably clear one by one, particularly in the 2 bombsites. As a result, the performance of Terrorists was influenced heavily by lucky enemy positions, weakening the skill-based gameplay.

New-New-New Nuke

Following the revamp of Train, Nuke was removed from the Active Duty map group and replaced by Train after the March 31, 2015 update. Nuke was later revamped and released alongside Operation Wildfire, incorporating a lot of the feedback to balance out the new version. Shortly after, Nuke was re-introduced to the active map pool, replacing Inferno.

Some of the revamped Nuke's major changes include removing one of the vents between bomb sites, re-opening the access from tunnels to Lower B, moving Toxic to the side of ramp, blocking access to part of Upper A, easier access to Silo and a wrap-around CT Catwalk.

The ventilation covers connecting Site A and B can now be interacted with to close and open them, shutting off sight lines. They can still be destroyed normally.

As of now, the official factions are the FBI for the Counter-Terrorist side and the Phoenix Connexion as the Terrorists.
