Desert Storm (hs_desertstorm) or Sandstorm (for Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies) is the first Human Scenario map in Counter-Strike Online.

Official Description[]

After we have obtained the sample of Phobos corpse from the unidentified facility, our troops started to transport it to the headquarters. We have decided to take a roundabout way through the desert for a safer route. While traveling in the desert, a large scale of fire started to rain above our head in a sudden. Due to this sudden attack, we need to find cover quickly and hide ourselves in the nearby ruined place to ensure the safety of the samples. Even with a glance, we could notice that enemies are coming in armies with lots of elite soldiers with huge airborne weapons. They were not zombies! Who are they?

- From the diary of transportation support troop commanding officer, Victor.

Story[]

  1. While the search force was in constant battle with zombies and giant bosses, the transport units with samples of the prototype Phobos were detoured to the zombie-free desert.
  2. A transport unit is attacked by a large number of enemies with no known affiliation while moving. It was a state-of-the-art unknown force combining elite soldiers and huge aerial weapons.
  3. Victor divides the unit into two to safely transport the sample and removes the unit with the sample to the rear, and the rest meets the enemy in an abandoned village.
  4. In the end, even the air weapon, the RAH-66 Comanche, is mobilized to attack, but using the abandoned building as a shield, he succeeds in turning the Comanche into scrap metal.
  5. CF. The Comanche is the new weapon of the Vanguard Company, possessing excellent ground warfare ability and formidable firepower. He is known to benefit from attacking weakly armed cockpits.

Tips[]

Round 1 ~ 9[]

  • Use the default MP5, automatic sniper rifles or Plasma Gun to engage.
  • Avoid going outside, as there is no cover and enemies will quickly kill you.
  • Beware of grenades, they are capable of bringing your health down extremely quickly.

Round 10[]

  • Use anti-material weapons like AT4, M95, AS50 or AT4-CS.
  • Hide downstairs, or use Airstrike when the Comanche is about to use its rockets.
  • Set up Sentry gun on upstairs to aid in engaging Comanche and Vanguard troop.
