-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.
