Ok but you can say the same about Counterstrike. The object is to diffuse the bomb. You shoot your way through the enemy until the bomb is diffused. The rest is just details for experts.

I assume in this scenario the terrorist team is trying to plant and detonate the bomb, thereby diffusing its (perhaps damaging, poisonous, or radioactive) components over a wide area, while the counter-terrorist team is trying to defuse the bomb and prevent it from exploding in the first place.
