Old Havana (Habana Vieja) is a unique hostage rescue map as it has three hostage rescue zones scattered across the map. Due to this, Havana generally favors the Counter-Terrorists unless they were unable to successfully breach the upper floors of the compound where the hostages are located. Meanwhile, the Terrorists will have a harder time to guarding all of the rescue zones if they have to prevent the Counter-Terrorists from successfully rescuing all of the hostages. Because of the intense action occurring throughout the map, Havana requires an immense amount of skill and practice.
