Rex Laboratory

Rex Research Institute is a fictional organization in Counter-Strike Online.

Background

The Rex Research Institute is an organization of doctors and scientists who were creating various types of medicine to try to extend life. Gradually, they changed their objective into trying to find a way to make humans immortal. Due to their continuous experiments on living things, their plans backfired and had instead created a dangerous virus, dubbed the Rex Virus. This caused humans to turn into the undead, the zombies. The zombies managed to escape from the lab, during the chapter Chaos, and started infecting other people. This was also the place where Jennifer was captured and kept alive as a human experimental subject.

Structure

There are several maps showing this institute:

  • Rex - The main laboratory where experiments take place, the Terrorists threaten to destroy the lab for political purposes. (gradually managing to destroy it)
  • Roof - The rooftop battle, Counter-Terrorists were dispatched by the government to engage the Terrorists that were escaping from the institute after the bombing in the main lab. There are no signs of any zombies yet.
  • Abyss - Rex Research Institutes first view after the bombing incident, showing the basement of Rex.Zombies were found. Having no choice, the Counter-Terrorists must combine their forces with the Terrorists to survive the zombie apocalypse.
  • Abyss2 - The 'Rex search-and-rescue unit' was dispatched to find and rescue the survivors (the players).They helped by sending their weapons to help the survivors combat the evoluted zombies.
  • Chaos - The survivors must find a way out of the maze-like Rex basement by following orders from the 'Rex search-and-rescue unit' team leader.
  • Cube - The humans were forced to play a game of death which was planned by Doctor Rex in a simple lab. They were separated into two teams, red team and blue team, and have a race of killing zombies. The humans will try to be the survivors by whatever means.
