As a Counter-Terrorist on de_train, the two most important concepts are making use of your spawns and awps. Furthermore, where you spawn should alter what your team decides to do a particular round. If your spawn is closest to upper, you should be the player upper that round. If you spawn closest to Z-halls, you should be the player pushing out Z or holding the mid angle. Et cetera. De_train is an extremely spawn-based map and your team should use this to their benefit.

Counter-Terrorist Pistol
This pistol strat is designed to counter any sort of initial rush from the Terrorists, namely out middle or inner. However, after setting up, it will also be able to hold any pick-off strat that they may decide to attempt.
