Cobblestone has gone through many changes over the years. Until the current version, it has mainly focused on CT. Since this is no longer the case, you need to be more creative in order to earn points for the rounds.
First, a few words about the card itself. Most gamers tend to occupy positions in lot B. This is due to several reasons. First, defenders B are easily smoke-insulated. Secondly, terrorists usually use the AK47, while you can only use the M4A4 and M4A1-s. They can fire weapons that can kill you with one bullet from the most common angles. You will have to react to their exit from cover and, if you are fast enough, you can hit them at least twice.
There are also stairs between the B-hall and the mid. If their location is from B to A, terrorists can quickly run over it and instantly find themselves there. If the location of the stairs is from A to B, then it will take much longer.
One soldier on A
It is often recommended to put only one defender at point A
If you see that terrorists are not inclined to attack A, then I recommend putting only one defender on A. His task will be to support the B-players, as well as transmit information and call for help if necessary. Since he doesn’t need smoke for the most part, he can throw it at B. So you have four smoke grenades at B.
After that, he must sit around the corners of the CT ramp, long A or stairs. He will listen to footsteps and check for flash and smoke grenades. If it seems to him that the enemy is approaching, then he must try to survive. If players B are able to take control of long B or some other key area, then defender A can retreat to the bomb site and one of B players can return to help him.
If it is impossible to see or hear someone, then he can try to attack from the back, through Z. If he decides to do this, then time is of the essence. It is worth waiting for the terrorists to start attacking, otherwise there is a high probability that at least one of their players is watching the rear.
If the problem arises in B, your brave soldier in A shouldn’t hesitate. He can either go through the connector door and call the flash drive from the drop room, or throw the flash drive himself. The flash drive will blind any terrorist in the corner behind the door, which greatly simplifies the capture attempt.
Creative game on B
Take as less obvious positions as possible to defend the point.
If you choose to play with only one player on A, you have four players at your disposal, which allows you to create creative plans for B. To start, you need to take as less obvious positions as possible, try to interfere with communications and force terrorists to check more corners. … One way to achieve this is to lift the player to the top of the box. This player will also be able to look through most of the smoke that the terrorists will use:
If your opponents have a habit of stepping on Long B, you can slow them down using smoke, hammers, and a flash drive. Stand next to the box and throw smoke. After that you can line up the hammers and ask the teammate for a flash drive. Your enemies will go blind and most likely retreat to the corner behind the arch. If so, then they have no idea that they are burning alive!
If they don’t burn, you should slow down the advance by letting both Player A come up from behind and the guys near the drop to be a little creative. A drop room boost used at the right time can be lethal, but remember: this is a risk! First, you must use the smoke screen before using the boost (if the boost was not used to obtain information). Throw smoke sometimes, even if you are not using the boost. This makes it harder for terrorists to understand when you are actually using it.
Defending a drop room is sometimes difficult. It’s nice to have one player outside and one closer to the connector ready to help. If you stand inside the drop room, then there is a high probability that you will be blinded and killed – so you can no longer help your team. A flash drive can do wonders. Try it a few times and you will learn to use it on time. If the terrorists turn their backs, you will turn them into Swiss cheese. Even if they do not turn, because of the flash drive, they still cannot see anything and you will kill them.
Be careful!
Hiding on the map, always foresee whether you can come to the aid of other players in time
It is tempting to hide in a chicken coop and attack despicably. But remember that one single hammer will kick you out and put you in a very disadvantageous position, where you can be considered lucky if you manage to shoot at least once.
Be careful when hiding on the map.
If player A is caught, you may not have enough time to come to his aid. And even if you have time, they can turn around and start attacking players on B.
Cobblestone is a map where you must keep all your players alive until your opponents move to the same lot.
