What are Nuke Callouts in CS:GO?
Imagine a map of your city with the names of streets, squares, monuments, etc. Callouts do the same. They're used to represent different positions on Nuke. For example, the Fork means the first room that the Terrorists come across when they leave the T Spawn.
You may have a question: why do you need to use callouts to mark key positions on the map? There are several reasons for this. First, they're convenient. It's much easier to say something like Ramp or T Spawn than it is to describe the objects you see at your current position.
Second, Nuke callouts unify communication between players. If their meaning is known, it doesn't matter which country the gamer lives in. Map callouts like Hut, Dark, or Big Box will be understood by an African, Chinese, or American person.
General Nuke Blueprints
Nuke is a popular map where the Terrorist team tries to plant bombs in 2 places: the A Site and B Site. The Counter-Terrorists seek to thwart their enemies in every way possible. If you've played Counter-Strike for at least 5-10 hours, you should be well aware of this game mechanic.
Although Nuke isn't a big map, it has many callouts. The lower level players often get confused about them. Some beginners don't even know they exist. Either way, you must learn all the callouts if you want to play at an average or pro level. The following map will help you do this.

Don't be put off by the sheer number of Nuke Callouts. You don't have to learn them all at once. Right now, it's much more important for you to know their names and read their brief descriptions. This is what we suggest you do.

Rafters |
This is a platform that runs along the back wall of the A Site where the Terrorists are aiming to plant one of their bombs. |

Window |
The Window is a room that follows the Double Doors. You can see a couple of windows here, which is the reason for the name of this position. |
