	— Singapore/Malaysia description

Sidewinder (hs_sidewinder) is the fifth Human Scenario map in Counter-Strike Online.

Overview

In this map, you must annihilate a certain number of enemies in given limited times. There are 10 rounds. At the last round, XT-300 Goliath will appear as the boss. Destroy it to win and receive either Comanche Record Device, Pilot Tag or Drone Control Chip items.

Storyline

We might be annihilated due to the sudden attack from Drone during the airplane transportation if not for Red Lizard Jim, who allow us to ride onto the Blaze. Secret reports were obtained that Norman, the guy Jim trusted the most, has betrayed the mercenary.

Jim looked very anxious after he heard that his base camp has been attacked.

We have decided to leave early as we had to transport the samples safely. We will, hence, reorganize our remaining support troops and dispatch them to the base camp.

From the diary of the transportation supply troop, Commander Victor.

Trivia

"Sidewinder" can be defined as a heavy blow with the fist delivered from or on the side.
The Singapore/Malaysia blurb is a possible reference to Team Fortress 2's Mann vs Machine game mode, which was released a day after the game mode in TF2 is added.
This is the only map where background and spawn musics do not play, they only play during the boss stage.
Team Fortress 2 's Soldier can be hear yelling "Medic!" faintly in the background.
This map and Blaze are the only 2 maps in Human Scenario that don't have overview. If players spectate and choose Overview mode, they just can see the words "Unknown Area".
