User manual GAMES PC COMMANDOS-STRIKE FORCE

[. . . ] TM EPILEPSY WARNING A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. [. . . ] They will also eliminate your Commandos. GAS MASK -- The gas mask protects against gas attacks. SMOKE CANISTERS -- Smoke canisters release a dense gas that obscures enemy vision and causes choking. STEALTH KILL TECHNIQUES Each Commando has the ability to perform stealth kills that will eliminate the enemy with the minimum amount of noise. Sneak up quietly behind an enemy until you are within grabbing distance, then press F to strangle your enemy. Silenced Pistol -- When equipped, this pistol works in the same way as a normal pistol but with minimal sound. CAPTAIN O'BRIEN (Green Beret) Neck Break -- Equip your knife. Sneak up quietly behind an enemy until you are within grabbing distance, then press F to silently break the enemy's neck. Slash -- You can also use the knife to slash enemies. However, this can require a few hits to kill, which may allow the enemy to raise the alarm. LIEUTENANT HAWKINS (Sniper) Stab -- Equip your knife. Sneak up quietly behind an enemy until you are within grabbing distance, then press F to silently stab the enemy in the back. Throwing EXPLOSIVES Explosives are essential when you're executing synchronized sabotage or preparing enemy ambushes. STICKY BOMBS -- Use these to blow up vehicles. The bomb explodes a few seconds after being stuck to an area on the vehicle. ANTI-TANK MINES -- Mines can be deployed on any type of ground (visible for soldiers but not for vehicles) but can only be buried on soft ground. Mines explode when shot and are mission-specific. Knife -- Head and torso shots kill the enemy. Recover a knife by moving your Commando over the knife on the floor. ~ 12 ~ ~ 13 ~ GRENADE -- Explosive used to blow up tanks, half tracks and groups of enemy soldiers. PANZERFAUST -- The ordnance from this disposable anti-tank rocket launcher loses speed and force after a short distance. VISION Vision is relative to the situation and the location of the enemy. For example, the enemy will have more difficulty detecting your presence if you are crouching. Following this logic, you need to be alert when facing more vigilant enemies who will sweep the area for anything out of the ordinary. HEARING The chance of the enemy hearing you is increased when you're executing noisy actions (running, shooting, etc. ) and lessened by stealth actions (moving while crouched, using the knife or the silencer, etc. ). The noisier you are, the more chance you have of being detected and the alarm being raised. EQUIPMENT You have varied tactical equipment, offering certain tactical advantages over the enemy. SMOKE CANISTERS -- The smoke hides your Commando from the enemies' view. As a side effect, the smoke incapacitates those who breathe it in for a few seconds. (See Gas Mask below. ) POISON GAS CANISTERS -- Poison gas canisters take out groups of enemy troops silently. GAS MASK -- To put on your gas mask during an attack, press 2 to select it, then press Left Alt. CIGARETTES -- Use cigarettes to distract enemy guards (visual). ALARM STATUS If a soldier or guard spots you during a mission or an alarm is raised, the soldier or guard will go through a series of stages before returning to normal status. Normal -- Guards perform their usual actions. If something out of the ordinary happens they become suspicious and a timer appears above their heads. Suspicious -- Once the timer appears you have to rectify the unusual occurrence, hide, or get away from that position before the timer completes a cycle. If the timer does not complete a cycle, the enemy will return to Normal status after a period of time. Alerted -- If a soldier or guard goes to Alert status, they will attack, SILVER COINS -- Use silver coins to distract enemy guards (aural). call for support, raise the alarm or run away. MEDIKITS -- Restores a large amount of health. You can also use them on allies to help restore their health. ENEMY PERSONNEL SOLDIERS Low-ranking soldiers of the German Army.
