  • Hostage Rescue, where the counter-terrorists must rescue hostages.
  • Bomb / Defuse, where terrorists must plant a bomb in a critical area and counter-terrorists must defuse the bomb.
  • Escape, where the terrorists must escape from the counter-terrorists.
  • Assassination, Where the VIP must be escorted by the counter-terrorists to an escape point.
