2. Introduction to Counterstrike
Counterstrike is a first-person shooter game and a MOD for Half-Life.
Here's how it works: There are two teams of players (Terrorists and
Counter-Terrorists); obviously, winning requires teamwork in this game.
One team works together to achieve objectives in real-life Terrorism
scenarios (Bomb Defuse, VIP Assassination, Hostage Rescue, etc.) while
the other team tries to prevent that from happening using modern
weaponry (Pistols, Shotguns, Submachine Guns, Rifles, M249 FN Para
machine gun, and HE Grenades).  If a team achieves their objective,
that team wins; if the defending team prevents that or if time runs out
for that scenario, the other team wins.  You can also eliminate all of
your opponents to win, but that isn't as fun imo.  Besides, de_dust is
a Bomb Defuse scenario map; even if you kill all the Terrorists, you
must still defuse the bomb to win if they managed to plant it at one of
the 2 bomb sites.

3. General Info about the map
de_dust, as mentioned before, is a Bomb Defuse map.  The Terrorist must
plant the C4 bomb at one of the 2 bomb sites, one of which is right
next to the CT (Counter-Terrorist) base; also, they must protect the
bomb from being defused.  It gives a mix of close range (inside the
tunnel) combat, as well as long range (underpass).  Here's a rough
sketch of the map:
