I saw everyone piling up reference images, so I thought, why don't I reserve my exotic spot as well.
Here's where it's gonna take place:

Chittorgarh - India
The layout is very experimental and the best way I can sketch it out is something like this:

The timings are in such way that if CTs were to go straight to the bomb sites, the encounter would happen right before the entrance of the sight and they won't have much time to prepare and take further positions, but they can choose to send several units on a risky middle route, which only CTs can access, without a boost, that gives them a chance to attack the Ts before they've reached the sites and allow their teammates on the site to get a more advantageous position. It's also a good flanking path. The sites are generally easier to take than on other maps, but with this new middle path CTs can surprise attack the Ts and they can never expect when the action is going to begin. This middle route is also made in such way that it allows both teams to take sound cues and listen if there is anyone rushing. A CT rushing down the middle route can communicate to his teammates which site the Ts are rushing in and tell them to hold back, while he prepares to flank them, or plan a double pressure attack. I don't know if this is gonna work, but I'm willing to try my best to realize my idea.
I'm going to post some greybox images this weekend or next week at latest. Might also look to collab with an environment artist.
