-Misc 6.0 Notes:

-Assassination Gameplay: One member of the CT team will serve as the VIP.
-The object is to get the VIP safely to the pre-defined escape points. If he
-dies, the CT's lose the round. If he makes it safely, the CT's win. VIP has
-a unique skin, only carries a knife, and has ample body armor. Certain
-weapons cannot be purchased by each team in this gameplay scenario.
-Escape Gameplay: The T team starts out in a fortified location and must
-"escape" to one of the pre-defined escape points. The CT's must exterminate
-them before they can escape. The T's win the round once 50% of the team has
-successfully escaped. They can also break into the armory to steal weapons,
-or just get out of there. The two teams will switch roles after every 8
-rounds of play.
-After buying NVG, you toggle it on/off by using the "nightvision" command. Be
-warned that the NVG will not be effective on every hardware setup. It may or not
-work well for you.
-To switch between right and left hand weapons, go to:
-multiplayer > Customize > Advanced Options
-There will be a checkbox for you to select the hand of your choice.

--------------------------------------------------------------
-Counter-Strike is a modification (MOD) to the excellent game, Half-Life. It modifies the multiplayer aspects of Half-Life to bring to it a more team-oriented gameplay. Not terribly unlike Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike provides the player with an experience that a trained counter-terrorist unit or terrorist unit experiences.
-The MOD is team-based featuring one team playing the role of the terrorist and the other team playing the role of the counter-terrorist. Each side has access to different guns and equipment, as well as different abilities. Maps have have different goals such as: hostage rescue, assassination, bomb defusion, Terrorist escape, etc.
-Weapons include the usual assortment of pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, grenades, demolition devices. Each side has access to a different subset of weapons so for example only the counter-terrorist can use the M4A1, and only the terrorists can use the AK-47.
-We are confident that we've created a MOD quite unlike any other. We hope you will be immersed in
-the frightening and intense world of Counter-Terrorism.
