1: Introduction
---------------------------------
Alien Front Online is a great game for Dreamcast.  I wasn't expecting
anything big when I picked up this game but now I can't stop playing it.
With it's wonderful online experience, challenging tactic mode, and a great
ranking system Alien Front Online is worth buying for any gamer.  In this
guide, I try to give all the information needed on Alien Front Online.  If
i'm missing anything or if you have any new suggestions feel free to e-mail
me at [email protected].  If you are ever online and are looking for a
good challenge check out the room I'm always in.  Whenever I'm on, I'm
usually in it because I make it.  It's called DreThug.  Well, hopefully this
guide will help you brush up on your skills a bit.  Until my next guide,
this is DreThug signing off.

They came without warning, without mercy unleashing unimaginable devastation
on the people of Earth.  Known as the Triclops, the aliens struck fear into
the human race.  They preyed on man, woman, and child alike, devouring them
whole; their three-eyed gaze impassive, betraying no hint of emotion -
making their actions all the more horrific...
The air forces of the world were useless, picked out of the sky by the
orbiting alien motherships.  Only the surface forces are able to fight back,
to give the aliens pause.  The world government has called out is cavalry,
and the tank brigades are beginning to make headway against the onslaught.
The battles have been fiece, but sporadic so far.
Now it is time for an all-out offensive.  Now is the time for you to get
involved.  Will you fight side by side with your fellow man, or will you
accept your role as food in a world ruled by alines?
You must choose your fate.

Humans!  Low level life forms, tiny and weak struggle to evolve against
their very nature.  They resist us with their manufactured vechicles and
weapons.  Though they fight us and destroy their own cities in the process
we, the might Triclops army, will persevere and take control of the planet.
We are stronger in numbers, destructive power, and sheer terror...
After the destruction of the human air ships the mothership commanders
deemed it time for our forces to dominate the surface as we had the skies.
Now we've taken the fight to the humans and are attempting to devour their
hopes, dreams, and spirit. The fight has not been as easy one though!  How
can such a poorly evolved creature put up such a tremendous fight for
survival?
We must rally as the time for human annihilation has come!  The mothership
commands you to descend to the Earth's surface and join your fellow
Triclops.  Will you fight side by side with your three-eyed brethren or will
you let these lowly organisms take their planet back?
You must choose your fate.

4: Starting Up
---------------------------------
This is basic knowledge on Alien Front Online.  If you are having problems
saving or things like that check this section out.

Save Files
In order to save your game, you must have a VMU inserted in your controller.
 When starting the game, the VMU Select screen will appear.  Select the VMU
you wish to save your game files on; each Save File takes 8 blocks of
memory.  To name your Save File, use the D-Pad to highlight, A to select,
Enter to end, and Done to begin using the file.  The file name that you
choose for your save game will be used as your handle name for online play.
Please do not use any information as your file name that you would not want
others to know.

Title Screen
On the title screen, press Start to begin playing Alien Front Online.  This
will take you to the main menu.

Options
Change settings for the game, such as controller settings, sounds, jump
pack, and more.

Online
Initiates an online gaming session.

Tactics
Starts a single player campaign game.  You may sleect which side you wish to
play: Army Campaign or Alien Campaign.

Arcade
Beings a single player timed match.  You can play as either the Army or the
Aliens.

Game Screen
In the upper left corner of the screen is the radar.  Red dots are enemies,
green dots are allies.  Your health bar takes up the top portion of the
screen.  When you are severly damaged, the screen will get a "shattered
glass" overlay.  In the top right corner of the screen is the tally bar.
Depending on the mission objective, this will show the number of enemies
remaining.  Below the tally bar is the sub weapon display.  This tells you
what your current sub weapon is, and how much firepower you have left before
it is used up.  The center of the screen contains a targeting box, which
changes shape depending on whether you have a target.  In online and arcade
modes only, the bottom right and left corners of the screen contain team
information.

Staying Alive
You will discover just how difficult it can be to mantian your vechicle in
good working order during a fight.  There are several mechanisms for
achieving optimal preformance.

The Moter Pool
The Army mantains a repair facility during campaign play.  It appears on the
field as a lighted, green lined box.  Parking your tank within it will
repair damage; the more damaged you are, the longer it will take.  The staff
at the motor pool will also upgrade your vechicle with subweapons, provided
any are available.

The Healing Bath
The Aliens use a heavy-UV light bath to repair damage to their organic
vechicles.  It appears in campaign play as a lighted, red-lined circle
beneath a floating bath-ship.  Parking your vechicle within the circle will
repair any damage you may have; heavily damaged vehicles take longer to
repair.  If any subweapons are available, the bath-ship will attach them to
your vehicle.

Med-Bots
Found only in arcade and online play, med-bots heal up to one-third of your
vechicle's total strength.  They are dropped by vehicles that get destroyed
in battle, appearing as small white boxes with a red cross emblazoned upon
the side; merely run over them to pick them up.


---------------------------------
5: Game Modes
---------------------------------
Here are all of the modes of play in Alien Front Online.

Tactics Mode
Tactics Mode is a single-player campaign with branching missions and
objectives.  You can play as either the Aliens or the Army.  Missions become
progressively harder.  In order to advance to the next higher tier of
missions, you must successfully complete all missions prior to the branching
point.

Arcade Mode
Arcade Mode is a single-player timed match.  You should kill as many
opponents within the time limit as possible.  You are allotted 3 credits, so
you can continue twice befroe the game ends.  Your highest score will be
uploaded to the servers the next time you log onto the network and posted on
the "Worldwide High Score Ranking" table.

Online Play
To begin an online seesion, you must 1) have an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) with dial-up service; 2) have your Dreamcast's modem connected to an
active phone line; 3) have your Dreamcast configured for online use via the
Sega Web Browser GD-ROM (which came bundled with your Dreamcast).  Follow
the Sega Web Browser instructions for connecitng to the internet.  Each
online mission is timed.  When time runs out, your score for the mission
will be tallied, then you will be taken to a new mission.  Play continues in
this manner until you quit the game by pressing Start, then B to quit.  Up
to eight players may take part in a mission, with up to 4 players per team.
If you get unintentionally disconnected during play, the game will
automatically try to reestablish your connection to the Internet.  During
online play, if you join a game after it has already started, you will not
receive any stars for that battle.  On the tally screen, you will receive an
"NA" to show that your score was not affewcted by the results of that
battle.  Also, oither players that were involved in the battle will only
receive the points that they earned after any new users have joined, so
please understand that the points that you receive at the end fo any battle
will not always be 100% accurate.  After the next battle is started,
however, if everyone plays from start to finish, you will receive the
appropiate number of points.  In order to increase the response time of this
game online, we have had to very slightly decrease the consistency of the
data being transferred across the network.  It is an online game, so the
quality of the connection, among other factors, might affect the results at
the end of any online battles.  Please understand that the results of any
online battle may be slightly incorrect (i.e. the number of gates destroyed
in fortress mode is incorrect) from time to time.

6: Army Vehicles
---------------------------------
Here are all the Army Vehicles in the game with a description of each and a
rating.

Name.....................M109-A2
Armor....................Heavy
Weapon...................155MM Homitzer
Speed....................32.4 KPH
Height...................3.925 Meters
Weight...................69.4 Tons
Description:
The M109-A2 is my favorite tank.  Not only does it have exceptional power
but it has great protection.  Although it is very slow, speed is not needed
if you have something with this force.

Name.....................M1A2 Abrams
Armor....................Medium
Weapon...................120MM Smoothbore
Speed....................35.6 KPH
Height...................2.37 Meters
Weight...................51.6 Tons
Description:
Decent is the best word to describe this tank.  Not only is it not as
powerful as the M109-A2, it's not as fast as the MK2 Merkava.  Not worth
using at all.

Name.....................MK2 Merkava
Armor....................Light
Weapon...................105MM Smoothbore
Speed....................41.0 KPH
Height...................3.7 Meters
Weight...................49.9 Tons
Description:
A fast tank that can dish out a beating if used correctly.  If you don't gow
ith the M109-A2 go with this little tank.  Although it can get blown up
easily, it can dodge bullets pretty easily with it's quickness.


---------------------------------
7: Alien Vehicles
---------------------------------
Here are all the Army Vehicles in the game with a description of each and a
rating.

Name.....................SP Walker
Armor....................Heavy
Weapon...................Plasma Cannon
Speed....................28.1 KPH
Height...................4 Meters
Weight...................36.3 Tons
Description:
This bad boy gets the job done with its plasma cannon.  Not only is this the
fastest vehicle in the game it is also the slowest vehicle.  Don't worry
though, this vehicle is great to just kill with.  But beware, you'll get
killed a lot if you choose this vehicle.

Name.....................2L Walker
Armor....................Medium
Weapon...................Plasma Lazer
Speed....................33.5 KPH
Height...................5.14 Meters
Weight...................26.1 Tons
Description:
Many people tend to use the 2L Walker but I feel that it is garbage.  It's
not as powerful as the SP Walker and it's still very slow.  Also, it's
taller in height so it can be shot down easier!

Name.....................Hov Craft
Armor....................Light
Weapon...................Plasma Lazer
Speed....................60.5 KPH
Height...................3.7 Meters
Weight...................22.1 Tons
Description:
By far, the Hov Craft is the best vehicle in the game.  Although it is the
weakest vehicle in the game it is so fast that it can kill enemies by going
around them.  This is the best vehicle to use in the game hands down!

---------------------------------
10: Alien Campaign Walkthrough
---------------------------------
Here is the Alien Campaign Walkthrough.  Here I have listed all the missions
and how to complete the missions.  This will help you beat the game as fast
as possible.


Mission: 1
Alien Cave
P.O.W. Overrun

Mission 1 P.O.W. Overrun
Welcome to the elite triclopsian guard.  You have been grown in the slime
wombs specifically to help us destroy out human enemy!  As a member of our
invading force, you must lean to pilot our triclopsian vechicles.  These
ground contraptions are a bit different from the space ships we are all used
to.  Use this mission to develop your driving skills.  We have provided some
"interesting" ground targets for you to run over.  Use your strafe buttons
to move easily from target to target.  You must learn to love the screams of
our earthling foes!

Objective: Run over all earthling P.O.W. targets within 3 minutes.

This mission is very easy and you should be able to beat it in your first
try.  Start off by picking the Hov Craft because it is the fastest vehicle.
Remember to always look at your radar to see if there are any targets in the
distance.  If you see a red dot that means there are targets located in the
area.  Walk forward and hit the first five targets.  To hit them quick make
sure you strafe to the the side the next target is located.   Continue
forward and you should see some blue lava.  On the left side of that you
should see a row of targets.  Hit those and then continue around the blue
lava.  Now when an opening appears look left and hit the two targets on the
blue lava.  Now look to the left and make sure you didn't miss any targets.
You should have 26 targets right now.  Continue straight and you should see
some more targets leading into an opening.  In the opening of the mountain
you should see some more targets.  Follow the path of targets out to the
other side of the mountain and when you are out you should have 15 more
targets.  Now straight ahead of you, you should see some more targets.   Hit
those and you should have 9 targets left.  Now instead of going straight
turn right and you should see some blue light flashing in the distance.
Head next to the blue light and then take a right in the opening of the
mountains.  Here you should see a path around the mountain and when you are
done collecting the targets from the path you should have four left.
Continue straight and you should reach a cliff that you can't go pass.  Turn
to the right and you should see another opening in the mountain.  In here
there will be the last targets and you should finish the mission.


Mission: 2
Alien Cave
Slimly Shoot Out

Mission 2 Slimy Shoot Out
Now pratice your aim.  We must prove our superior reflexes in combat.  Shoot
and destroy all the floating air targets.  Remember that the pathetic humans
are slow like "benga worms".  Train hard so we can see them squirm!

Objective: Destory all shot targets within 3 minutes

You have 180 seconds to complete this mission. which should be plenty of
time.  Remember to always look at your radar.  If you see a red dot on your
radar that means there is a target in that areal.  Start off by walking
forward.  You should see your first targets.  Shoot each target by moving
the analog stick to the target you want to hit and fire by pressing A.  Hit
the targets and continue forward.  It is a bit foggy so it maybe slightly
hard to see.  Move to the left and you should see blue lava.  Hit the two
targets in the blue lava and make sure you hit the target out of the lava by
turning left.  After hitting that target continue on the blue lava and you
should see another target.  Hit that and then look to the left to hit the
target out of the lava.  Now continue straight and you should see some more
targets.  After hitting those targets look to the left and you should see an
opening in the mountain wall.  Go inside and hit all the targets.  Now come
out from the other side and you should see multiple targets in the distance.
 Go over to them.  Start by hitting the targets on the far right.  Now go
around the little rock to hit the targets on the other side of the rock.
Now continue going straight and you should see a path around the mountains
with targets on it.  Blow up those targets and continue straight.  Go
straight until you see another opening in the mountain.  Now you should see
your last two targets.  Blow them up and you're done with the level.  Easy
eh?


Mission: 3
Alien Cave
They Dare Attack Us?

Mission 3 They Dare Attack Us?
They have found our base.  Look at them trying to stop us.  Ha ha ha! Such
crafty vermin!  This is a perfect time to test your new skills on targets
that blow up so pretty when you destroy them.  Enjoy the light show my
triclopsian brother.  But don't forget they are shooting back!  Kill 10 of
them in this battle and you will be ready to fight for our cause.

Objective: Destroy 10 army enemies before the battle ends.

There are 20 enemies in this level and you must get 10 kills.  This is a bit
hard because your teammates kill the enemies too so you must make sure you
get most of the kills.  Start off by going straight.  You should be the
first person there if you make it fast.  If you see a green dot on the radar
that means there is a teammate there.  If you see a red dot that means there
is an enemy.  Right when you walk straight from the beginning of the level
you should see an opening in the mountain.  Inside there will be a couple
little cars driving around.  Kill them and you should see a big yellow and
green trailor.  Inside the trailor, little cars come out.  Kill them when
they come out as fast as possible because there will be other teammates
shooting at them.  Once the cars run out, your teammates will leave.  Follow
them by going out the same way you came in from and head straight.  You
should then see some red on the radar after you pass the big structure with
blue lights in the middle of the level.  Kill the little car and go through
the mountain pass.  Inside you should see another trailor.  Shoot at it and
cars will come out.  Kill the cars and you should get your 10 kills there.
If you aren't sure if there are any more cars in the trailor shoot at it
more and see if any comes out.  If not, then they are no more enemies.  I
beat the level at the second tank so it's not that hard to do.


On the mission select screen you will be able to select two different
missions.  You can go to mission 7 or mission 4.  Go to mission 4 which is
located in Tokyo.


Mission: 4
Tokyo
Crash and Burn

Mission 4 Crash and Burn
Dowgo Tica!  One of our incompetent scout pilots has accidentally
crash-landed on a small island that the humans call "Asia".  I should have
guessed it was Penuk flying it.  All three of of his dim-witted eyes are
bad!  You must fix this situation.  The humans are trying to study it to
learn our secrets!  Go to this city and destroy out scout ship.  Penuk is
still trying to get the ship out.  Destry it so I don't have to see his
brain-less facer again.  Teno Youk!

Objective: Destory our scout fighter within 60 seconds.  Do not allow your
vechicle to be destroyed.

This level can be hard if you don't know what you are doing.  If you know
what you are doing this level is very easy.  Pick the SP Walker because it
does the most damage.  Start the level by going left.  When you are walking
you should see a car.  When you get to the last little hut that you are
walking next to, stop.  Look ahead and you should see an enemy straight
ahead.  It can't shoot you but you can shoot it.  Kill it, and then walk up
a little until you can see the two other enemies on the far left side.  Kill
them.  Make sure you don't get too close or they can shoot you.  Remember,
that these enemies can't move because they are guns so don't worry about
them chasing you.  After you kill them walk to where they were and you
should see a fence.  Shoot the fence down and stand where the fence would
have been.  Kill the two enemies and walk a little forward.  Now you should
see the scout fighter.  It's purple.  Aim on to it and shoot it a few times.
 It should blow up and you will be done with the mission.  Make sure you
don't walk too far up or you'll get shot by another enemy.  You should never
get hit once in this level if you position yourself right.


Mission: 5
Tokyo
Tokyo Has Got to Go!

Mission 5 Tokyo Has Got To Go!
Our great leader thinks Tokyo is a great place to eat.  Basically because
there are so many people to eat!  We will use this city to store our human
snacks but first we have to clear the table.  Destroy all the buildings and
clear a path for our plans.  Do this within 5 minutes and it will be lady
fingers for all.

Objective: Destroy 80 percent of Tokyo within 5 minutes.  Do not allow your
vechile to be destroyed.

Start off by picking the SP Walker.  Basically in this level you can blow up
all the buildings on the perimeter of the level.  Start off by going to the
right.  Don't blow up anything yet.  When you see the car look to the left
and you should see a tank.  Kill the tank as fast as possible by letting him
come to you.  You'll probably get shot once.  Now retrace your steps and
blow up everything on the way.  The reason I told you not to blow up
everything in the beginning was because sometimes the tank kills you and if
it did you wasted your time blowing up all the buildings before killing it.
Now when you get to the point where you started off go to left blowing up
all the buildings.  Pick up the upgrade.  Once you get to the end you should
see some train tracks.  Pass over them and keep blowing up everything in
your path.  Watch out though because there is a tank lurking around.  After
crossing the train tracks blow up the buildings next to it and you should
see an opening in one of the buldings.  Walk through it and before going
fully out blow up the tank.  Now blow up all the buldings around and you
should win the mission.  If you don't see anymore buildings to blow up and
you are low on health go back to where the car was.  Now watch out for the
tank inside there because it can kill you easily.  Hit the buildings without
making contact with the tank and then you should win.  Luckily, I didn't
even have to do this.


Mission 6
Tokyo
No Tanks!

Mission 6 No Tanks!
Oh look, the earthlings are at it again.  I have to say these silly beings
are fun to watch.  It seems like they are mounting another attack.  Go out
there with eye lasers blazing!  These little insects need to be shown their
place.  That place is in our stomachs!  Remember, your extra vechicles grow
out of the spawn flowers.  If they are destroyed, your extra vechicles will
not be available.

Objective: Destory all army trailors.  If your vechicle is destroyed 3
times, you fail.

This is the hardest mission so far.  This mission took me over a hour to
beat.  Pick the Hov Craft.  When the level starts go forward as soon as
possible.  When you get to the end take a right.  Walk pass the train tracks
and start firing straight.  You should see the first trailor.  After blowing
up the trailor look to the left.  Go left and then go right and you should
see the second trailor.  There should be an enemy there so dodge it and
start blowing up the trailor.  Then kill the enemies when they come next to
you.  Blow up the trailor and then go back to where the first trailor was.
When there, continue forward.  You should see a regualar truck.  Go pass
that and you should see the next trailor.  Blow up the trailor and you'll
see another trailor right next to it.  Get the front of the trailor where
the tanks roll out and start hitting it from there.  Blow that up and then
kill all the tanks that are left.  After that, you've won the mission.  A
few things that you should know is that the trailors put out numerous tanks.
 If you kill the trailor, then no more tanks will be made.  Another thing
that you should know is that there are secondary weapons at the place where
you start the level.  Make sure to get those if you want to beat this level.


Now you can either go to Washington DC or Siberia.  Go to Siberia but move
the cursor to mission 7 instead of mission 13.`


Mission: 7
Siberia
Squash Out Humanity

Mission 7 Squash Out Humanity
These frail little "Denkanuks" just won't give up!  They have set up small
encampments near the entrance to our stronghold and seem to be up to
something.  Be nice and go out there and greet them.  While you are at it,
make sure to maim and run over every army trooper you see and open fire on
all their encampments!  We have a cruel reputation to uphold you know!

Objective: Destroy all army encampments and troopers within 5 minutes.

This may possibly be the easiest mission out there.  Be the Hov Craft to
make this a speedy victory.  Start off by going right.  Go next to the
tracks until you see the first opening.  Then go straight and you should
blow up a tank.  Also inside there you should blow up the other stuff you
see.  Now go straight and you should kill more things.  If you see any guys
on the way make sure to kill them.  Now return back by going straight.  Go
all the way back to where you started and then go left.  Kill all the troops
over there and you should complete the mission.  This missioin is by far the
easiest mission so far in the game.


Mission: 8
Siberia
Whole Lot O' Tank!

Mission 8 Whole Lot O' Tank!
Alert!  The humans are attacking again!  This time they are coming at us
with a "Gowtonix's" Power!  They have tanks are are much bigger than before
and fire off some serious hurt!   Can't blame them for trying.  Yes we can!
Vaporize them all!  Remember, your extra life vechicles grow out of the
spawn flowers.  If they are destroyed, your extra vechicles will not be
available.

Objective: Destroy all army tanks.  If your vechicle is destroyed 3 times,
you fail.

This mission is pretty tough too.  There are three tanks and you have three
lives.  It's that simple.  I can't really tell you where to go because the
tanks all go where you begin the mission.  To kill the tank that doesn't
have the flame thrower quickly keep turning on him (strafe) while firing.
This will kill him easily.  The flame throwers themselves are harder to
kill.  Kill them from a distance but watch out for their primary weapon.
This mission will take you a while.  I tried out all three vechicles and I
found that the Hov Craft is the best by far.


Mission: 9
Siberia
Military Meltdown

Mission 9 Military Meltdown!
It appears we have underestimated these "wakenuk" scum!  They fight with a
fury we have not seen before!  We must drive them back to their mini malls
and suburban nests!  Destroy all the army vechicles you see to protect our
underground lair.  They are close to discovering it!  Make them taste the
eye beam!

Objective: Destroy all army tailors and tanks.  if your vechicle is
destroyed, you fail.

This mission is all about position.  It's a bit hard if you don't know what
you are doing.  Make sure you use the Hov Craft.  Start off by going left.
You should get to a charger.  When then look to the left and you should see
multiple paths.  Take the middle path and then when it branches off go to
the left.  Now you should be on some blue ice.  In front of you should be a
little hill and then a major opening.  You should see red dots on your
radar.  Get as close to the hill as you can so you can shoot the gun.  Once
you shoot the gun go around the little hill and then make it back to the
opening.  Hit the two trailors from a distance.  Now you will see another
gun.  Position yourself next to the hill so you can shoot it down without it
shooting you.  Once you blow up the gun go back to the charger to power up.
Now go back to where the trailors were that you blew up.  Continue pass them
and you should see red on your radar.  Take the path to the left so you are
at the border of the level.  Position yourself to the mountain on the right
and blow up the gun.  Make sure it doesn't hit you.  Now blow up the two
trailors.  Now go back to where you started the level from.  Retrace your
steps, don't take any shortcuts or you might get shot down.  Now you shouild
see another charge up and the railroad tracks.  Go on the other side of the
railroad tracks and start going forward.  Once you see something that looks
like a trailor start firing.  Fire from long range to make sure nothing hits
you.  You know if you are hitting the trailor because parts of the trailor
will be flying up in the air.  Blow up the trailor and you should be done
with the mission.  Not that hard, now was it?


Now you will have the choice to go to Mission 19 The Island, Mission 16
Tokyo, Mission 13 Siberia, or Mission 10 Washington DC.  Go to Mission 10.


Mission: 10
Washington DC
Wipe Up Washington
Note: I believe they made a mistake here and put Up instead of Out.

Mission 10 Wipe Out Washington
Our next plan of attack is Washington DC.  It is the capital of the most
powerful nation on Earth.  Through our efforts we have managed to take most
of it.  But the humans will not give up.  They have strategically set up
gunner units throughout this area.  Go and disable these annoying
contraptions.  DO it quickly, we might be having the president over.....for
dinner!

Objective: Destroy all army gunner installments within 1 minute.  Do not
allow your vehicle to be destroyed.

Start off by picking the Hov Craft.  This mission is pretty easy.  Remember
you must work fast because you only have 1 minute to finish this mission.
Start off by walking forward.  Once you get to the end of the blue lava stop
and hug the left side of the wall.  Start firing off as many missiles as you
can.  You should blow up two gunner installments.  Now aim to the left a
little more and blow up the other gunner installment.  Now go straight to
where the white structure is.  It should be right infront of where you were
shooting from.  Go to the closest side and shoot straight blowing up another
gunner installment.  Watch out for the gunner installment on the far left,
if you go too far to the left you might get shot.  You can't shoot him from
the position you are though so worry about him later.  Now go forward and
you should see a gunner installment to the left of you.  It will be aimed
the other way so feel free to go as close as you want to kill it.  You
should now have atleast 24 seconds remaining.  Now go straight around the
bushes and break through the gate.  You should see another gunner
installment facing the other side so feel free to go as close to him as you
want.  Now you should have two more targets remaining.  Now go forward a
little until you can take a right turn.  Fire while walking to the next
gunner.  He might shoot at you.  Kill him and then walk back and turn left
as soon as possible.  Here you will see the last gunner installment.  Run
towards him while shooting him as fast as you can.  I killed it when I saw
him with only three seconds remaining on the clock.  After killing him, you
should be completed with the mission.


Mission: 11
Washington DC
DC Demolition

Mission 11 DC Demolition
The conversion of Washington is well under way.  Soon, my 3 eye comrade, we
will be sipping "tevo glow juice" under a nice war torn sky.  Our breathing
walls of living flesh have begun their infection over the grand capital
city.  Help them out by clearing the old crude human structures.  Our slime
must flow!

Objective: Destroy all earthling buildings within 2 minutes.

11: Playing Online
---------------------------------
Playing online is the best part of Alien Front Online.  Here I have
everything you should know about playing online.


==========================
Creating A Game
==========================
When you create a game you will be given the following choices:
Game Name
Open
Open/CPU
CPU
Closed

Games
Team
Flag
Fortress

Maps
Washington DC
Tokyo
Island
Siberia
Area 51
Cave

==========================
Games
==========================
Team is a deathmatch type of thing.  You battle the other team trying to
kill as many of their tanks before the time limit is up.

Flag is a game of capture the flag and hold onto it.  It's a great game to
play.

Fortress probably takes the most skill.  Either you have to defend the
fortress or blow up the fortress.

==========================
Maps
==========================
Washington DC is a great map to play on.  There are many hiding spots plus
the map isn't too big to get lost in.

Tokyo is another great place to play on.  Here there are numerous buldings
to protect you.

Island is my favorite place to play on.  Want to go into the water?  Then
play on island.

Siberia is by far the worse map in the game.  You play on snow but the map
is so hard to get around it's not even worth playing.

Area 51 is on sand.  It's a fun and easy map to mess around with.

Cave is an average map to play on.  It's not hard to find your way around
but it's not that fun to play on.

==========================
Earning Stars
==========================
Earning stars is easy to do.  If you want to earn stars you must be the best
player on the team.  Even if you aren't the best player on the team and your
team wins you'll probably get a star.  To get stars all the time play with
people with the same or higher ranks then you.

==========================
Losing Stars
==========================
If you lose to a player with a lower rank then you he/she will probably get
two stars and you will lose one.  That's not a good thing to have happen to
you.

==========================
Chatting
==========================
During a battle, you can talk to your team members by pressing and holding
the Y button.  There is a five second time limit for each message.  If you
should wish to talk to everybody in a battle, including members of the
opposing team, press the Y button twice and hold it.  Again, voice chat
messages are limited to five seconds in length.

==========================
Ranks
==========================
For every 10 stars you get you get a new rank.  Your online ranking will
rise depending on your preformance and wins in battle.  There are a total of
10 ranks.

Stars.....Symbol............................Rank Name
00-09.....A Shooting Star...................Cadet
10-19.....One of these: ^...................Private
20-29.....Two stacked on each other: ^......Corporal
30-39.....Three stacked on each other: ^....Sergeant

you should be better.
