CS2: Callouts For Every Map [Detailed Explanation]

In CS2, there are various different maps one can choose to play in. These maps are huge, and every specific area has been given a unique name or phrase. These are called Callouts. Learning and using these Callouts can make you a better player and help you communicate with your team better. Calling out your location or the enemy location can be a huge plus if you know all of these CS2 Map Callouts.

Map Callouts in CS2

Knowing these callouts will make your life so much easier and convenient. Knowing all of these callouts in the different maps is a must if you want to get any good in CS2. Here are 10 different maps and all of their callouts that you should definitely know about.

Mirage

Mirage is one of the most-played maps in CS2. The top right of the map has a long hallway. Its middle part is the Terrorist spawn point. Meanwhile, the bottom left area is the Counter-Terrorist spawn point.

All of the Mirage map callouts are: 

• T Roof: As you move down from the Terrorist spawn point, the first area you arrive at is the T Roof. Terrorists mostly occupy the T Roof area because it is super close to their spawn point. 

• Palace: If you decide not to take the stairs to the roof and continue moving down the hallway, you will enter the palace.
• Pillars: The palace at the bottom of the map has many pillars which supposedly hold the palace all together. Players can usually hide behind these pillars and move out when the time is right.
• Balcony: Moving forward from the palace, you approach the balcony, which is completely dark and thus is sometimes called the shadows.

• Site A: Next to the balcony is the bombsite A.
• T Ramp: The entrance point for Site A since it is very close to the Terrorist spawn point. It comes right after the staircase that leads to the T roof.
• Tetris: Right next to the ramp comes the area called Tetris. There are boxes and a wall you can hide behind and aim right at Site A. 
• Stairs: Upwards from Site A comes another set of stairs. They give you the advantage of overlooking the whole site and can be used to defend it.
• Sandwich: Between Tetris and these stairs, there is a small area called Sandwich. 
• CT Stairs: Running from the Counter Terrorist spawn point into site A is easy because these stairs connect them both. 
• Trash Can: At these stairs is a trash can that can hide a player unless someone reveals them. It can be a good hiding spot if you are low on HP. 
• Ticket Booth: The favorite spot for most using a sniper; players can hide behind it to get the perfect shot. 
• Market: The hallway leading out of the Counter-Terrorist spawn point goes directly into the Market area.

• Site B: At the left of the map and right above the market is bombsite B.
• Window And Door: The two ways of entering Site B are through a window or a door.
• Bench: The location is at bombsite B to the far left.
• Van: Right above site B, it can also be used as an entrance point into the bombsite.
• B Apartments: It is the most used entrance point for Bombsite B on the Mirage map.
• T Apts: The area lies at the top middle of the map, to the right of B apartments.
• Cat: Inside the middle of the map, there is another entrance of bombsite B called the cat.
• CatWalk: The hallway leading to Cat, leading to bombsite b, lies right above the middle.
• Middle: This is the middle point of the map.
• Connector: Moving downwards from the middle, we reach the following area that leads us to bombsite A. 
• Jungle: To the right side of the map, if you are coming from the connector, lies the jungle area. 

Dust 2 

Dust 2 is the most iconic map in CS2 so learning its callouts should be your first priority. At the bottom of the map, there is a huge hallway. In the middle of this hallway is the Terrorist spawn. The Counter-Terrorist spawn is at the top middle of the map. Also, I recommend going through the Counter-Strike 2 Best Grenade Spots In Dust 2, which is written by our guide writer Abdul Haddi.

Furthermore, the necessary  CS2 map callouts one must know for the Dust 2 map are:

• T Platform: All the Terrorist spawning run through the platform area and can easily hide here to get a good look at the next area on the map. 
• Outside Tunnels: The terrorist usually runs through the outside tunnel’s spacious area because it is very close to their spawn point.
• Upper Tunnels B: Moving upwards, we reach the upper tunnels, it has stairs connected to them, which lead the player into the lower tunnels.

• Site B: Moving upwards and on the left side comes the bombsite B.
• Back Plat: Also known as the back platform, it is at the top left of the map and above bombsite B.
• CT middle: From site B, there are two ways to enter CT middle: through the window or through the door. It is on the right of the bomb site.
• Mid Doors: Going downwards from the CT middle is only possible due to these Mid doors that give you access to the middle point of the map.
• Mid: Is the middle point of the map.
• Catwalk: To the right of the Mid is the area called the cat or catwalk.
• Top Mid: Connects Mid to the suicide.

• Long A: Connects Bombsite A to the different pits down below.

• Long Doors: These doors give access to the right side of the map.
• Side pit: The pit is right in front of the Long A and on the map’s right side.

• Site A: At the top right of the map.

My Thoughts

Till now, I have spent multiple hours in Counter-Strike 2 with my friends and have noticed the immense importance of map callouts. Whenever I am in trouble or need someone to back me up or rush from another side, I use the short and efficient map callouts to let them know where I am or where they can charge in.

And with that, the guide ends where you learn the callouts for every map in Counter-Strike 2. Other than that, I recommend that you go through our How To Rank Up Fast guide, written by Martin Bell, and our How To Get Better At CS2 guide, which is also written by Martin Bell.

Also, you should check out the FAQ’s on Steam community regarding CS2, as they will help you understand the game better. Lastly, if you want to add something, you can do so through the comment section below.
