Knowing the callout names on a CS:GO map, and being able to relay that information to your teammates, will make a big difference in winning rounds. In this guide we've put together for you, we've worked to make sure you never have to describe an enemy you see on the map as "left or right!" again. Here are the Train callouts and Nuke callouts!
Train Map Callouts
Created by Christopher Mair and set at a train station in Eastern Europe, the "train" map first met players in 2009. After being played for 5 years before joining the competitive map pool, it was added to the competitive rotation in 2014 following changes and improvements. Although the map looks like it heavily favors the CT side, pro teams in esports tournaments have repeatedly proven otherwise. Since it's a map that requires a lot of knowledge, it's also known for not being very popular in casual matches. You can find the detailed callout graphic we prepared for Train below.
Nuke Map Callouts
While Nuke was originally set in a location in Germany, in 2016 CS:GO reworked it into an American nuclear power plant. First developed in 1999 by Jo Bieg, this map favors the CT side and, due to the difficulties for the T side, isn't very popular among players. You can find the Nuke callouts in the graphic below.
