------------------------------[01] - Introduction------------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This guide is based on the Challenges section of the TimeSplitters 2 game. I
wrote this in order to help anyone out who needs just a little bit of help with
those levels, ie a new strategy to try or the times they need to beat.
I don't claim that the stategies shown in this guide are the best ways of doing
things, they most likely aren't, but the ways I've shown in this guide are all
decent enough to get at least Gold in the Challenges which is all you need to
get full percentage for them.
For Platinum times that involve challenges that have no end except for a time
limit, do not stop right at the point that I have specified as the Platinum
time as some are still not entirely sure about. They are just times around that
time (they are mostly right) and so try to beat it rather then get it as with
all other things like Bronze Silver and Gold.

To send me an e-mail regarding this guide's subject, please send it to:
dark52 (at) darkspyro (dot) net
I will try to respond to all e-mails sent to me as quickly as I can, however I
cannot promise to answer questions I don't know the answer to or are not
related to the subject of this FAQ.
Please remember to use a subject that will tell me exactly what game it is in
question of, as I have several guides for other games also and I generally
don't bother opening e-mails without a subject or are just called Hello.
And also, if you would, please mention the game somewhere in your message too
as I would like to know what game it is you're on about as some questions can
seem a bit vague without context.
While the guide may not be my first prioritory at the moment, I still want any
contributions you can send me. If you see a strategy below that you know is
rubbish AND you have a better one, then send it to me (as long as it isn't just
copied from someone else's guide, you have to have made it yourself) via the
address above.
While I will accept critcism of this guide (which is not very good) please give
a good reason as to why you feel that way about it and what I can do to improve
the guide so as to negate your criticisms as I will always be wanting to
improve this guide as much as I can.

guide a rather basic Autumn clean. Oh, and changed the author name too.

The times given below are formatted like this:
01:30 = 1 minute 300 seconds

[04a] - Glass Smash
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
i) Pane in the Neck
Times Needed For Completion: Bronze : 01:00
Silver : 00:30
Gold : 00:18
Platinum : 00:11
How to: As soon as the level begins race forwards, and side step to the
middle window of the huge building. Fire the grenade (R1)
straight into the building and then run up the stairs turning
while you do. Shoot straight into the next room through the door
and then go along the bridge, back and fall off and then shoot
through the door there. Then go left and shoot through the door
there then go behind you and shoot through the end window (on the
left) towards the door and that should complete the level in at
least the Gold time if not Platinum
Rewards: Cheat: Rotating Heads
ii) Bricking It
Times Needed For Completion: Bronze : 01:30
Silver : 00:45
Gold : 00:35
Platinum : 00:28
How to: Go the same directions as the previous challenge except smash
each window with the bricks and go inside the building up top.
The last building needs precision throwing from the window
through the door but that should get you the statues and prizes.
Rewards: Weapon: Brick
iii) Stain Removal
Panes Needed For Completion: Bronze : 23 Panes
Silver : 28 Panes
Gold : 32 Panes
Platinum : 32 Panes by 00:47
How to: As soon as you start use the flaming grenades (R1) to fire
through the three windows nearest you then simply strafe around
the platform on the left (at the start) shooting out all the
windows that you can see. Then shoot out all the big ones at the
end and then after getting the one behind you (down the corridor
bit) go back getting any you missed. Repeat the same as the other
side until the time runs out or you get them all.
Rewards: Character: The Hunchback
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[04b] - Behead The Undead
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
i) Fight Off The Living Dead
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 10,000
Silver : 15,000
Gold : 20,000
Platinum : 160,000
How to: Run into the corner (with the stairs in front, the door to the
left and then get the shotgun out. Use the aim to aim for the
heads (L2, but your aiming doesn't have to be exact just around
the same height for them all) and make sure to shoot them all
almost as soon as you see them. As the shotgun regenerates in
front, you'll need to run out to get it so just do that. If you
keep watch then there really shouldn't be a problem getting the
Gold (to get the Platinum you'll have to concentrate real hard)
Rewards: Sewer Zombie
ii) Sergio's Last Stand
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 5000
Silver : 15,000
Gold : 25,000
Platinum : 35,000
How to: Thanks to an email from -- about this level and fire extinguisers
I found the fire extinguiser, which makes the level a lot easier
I can tell ya. To put yourself out if the zombies get you just
walk while holding the extiguiser downwards and firing. To get
more points while shooting the zombies you can go for their arms
before the head if they are a distance off, such as in the first
wave.
To reload as fast as possible simply switch to fists and switch
back.
Rewards: Character: Sergio
iii) Day of the Dammed
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 10,000
Silver : 15,000
Gold : 20,000
Platinum : 25,000
How to: You've only got your fists so no need to reload at all but you'll
need to keep a better watch then ever before. They'll come from
all directions after the first two waves (ie waves 3 onwards)
This little tip has come in from jorus_f3no255:
It helps for me when you walk into your punch and walk back; i.e.
, while you're moving toward the zombie, press the punch button
so that while your fist is still moving, you're walking forward,
and your fist into the zombie's head. Not sure if this may help.
Also, the zombies ALMOST ALWAYS come in a set pattern; after wave
3, the ones from the hall come, and then, as if you were facing
the hall, a Feeder Zombie comes from the forward right, then the
forward left, then the rear left, and then the rear right. This
may repeat as many times as the game desires as the wave
continues.
It's a 100 Points per head you take off (zombies taking their own
heads off don't count as points) and 25 for a limb (an arm for
example).
Rewards: Character: Feeder Zombie

How to: Walk forward and grab the Sniper and other gun. Use the sniper to

out of the tunnel and watch out for the man in the compound who,
if you go too soon, will spot you. Then run down into the
compound, take him out and then go back out again. From slightly
down the fence to the left, snipe the woman and then move round
to the stairs on the big building. Use your Uplink to see the
bloke there and kill him as he moves away. Run up the stairs, go
into the building and open the doors via the switch and then run
out along the platform and down into the building. Grab the
mines, then run back upstairs and blow the dish up. The run for
the dam to complete.

Gold : 00:55
Platinum : 00:45

Times Needed For Completion: Bronze: 01:30
Silver: 01:05

ii) Fall Out
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 1200
Silver : 1500
Gold : 1650
Platinum : 1700
How to: Thanks to an email from jorus I tried this one again and found
enough to complete the level. Again only go for the bad guys. I
will now give you detailed descriptions of where to find each:
The first is beyond the first big box, the second is past the
car, the next is on top of the next box. The next comes out from
beind a box on the sidewalk (an old man comes out of a box before
it so don't shoot him. The next is behind the line of crates, the
next is past the car (half hiding behind a post) the next is on
the other side of that car. The next comes out from behind a box
round the corner and the next is in the newstand. Right on the
next corner is the next one, then the next two are on either side
of the big boxes there. The next is in the big shed which the
doors fly off of. The next comes out from behind a taxi (behind
an old man). The next is on a taxi. The next is at the front of
the taxi and the final one is on the other side in the alcove
bit. If you get them all right away then you'll get the Platinum
just like me.
Rewards: Character: Marco the Snitch
iii) Pick Yer Piece
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 700
Silver : 875
Gold : 1000
Platinum : 1250
How to: As far as I use it, the Tommy Gun is the best for this range.
Right at the start move back to get the pistol (on the right) and
a cut-out will appear at the window for an easy 100 points. Now
go forwards get the Tommy Gun and learn the popups that occur as
each time they are the same (after you shoot a cutout it doesn't
appear again though) shoot like mad (only when aimed towards a
cutout) and get all the points you can. 12 perfect shots and a 50
will get you the platinum.
Rewards: Character: Sgt Rock

[04f] - Timesplitters 'Story' Classic
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
i) Badass Buspass Impasse
Times Needed For Completion: Bronze : 05:00
Silver : 03:00
Gold : 01:30
Platinum : 01:15
How to: To complete within the 1m 15s needed for Platinum, you've just
got to really run down the road and back as fast as possible
ignoring everyone and everything. In fact with the time given for
the Platinum theres barely enough time to get the never mind
back. The times are the ones given in the game but I got Gold
with a time of 1m 46s so not entirely sure about the times here.
Rewards: Character: Badass Cyborg
ii) But Where do the Batteries Go?
Times Needed For Completion: Bronze : 10:00
Silver : 07:00
Gold : 05:30
Platinum : 04:15
How to: Shoot those pesky flimsy robots right away and grab their guns.
Head inside the big old building and shoot away. To get a great
gun with a shield, go up the ramp and along that corridor and
shoot all the bots there. The shield on the lasergun is activated
with the R1 button.
Then go back to the area with the ramp upwards and go along the
corridor. When the big bin starts attacking get it with a grenade
from the gun you get right off and blow it to shreds. To the
right and behind of the bin is an armor powerup. Grab it. Now
carry on into a huge area with a slope going round. Take care of
the big gun that shoots ya with a grenade and then shoot all the
bots that appear and then either run past the bin or blow it up
again, it seems to be a bit stronger then the other. Then start
up the shield and move on. Theres a big robot (a real R109) with
a Minigun take him out and grab the gun. Use it for most of the
rest of the level now as it is the best weapon you have. Carry
on down the corridor and up some ramps taking out the bots until
you get to an area with two bins. Blow em up and run past. Down
the corridor is your target. Grab it and use the minigun to get
out. On the outisde use the shield (if you still have it) and run
for the gate. Complete.
Rewards: Character: R One-Oh-Seven
iii) Hit Me Baby One Morgue Time
Times Needed For Completion: Bronze : 08:00
Silver : 04:00
Gold : 02:00
Platinum : 01:00
How to: Ignore almost every zombie that you come across except for the
occassional ones you can take whilst still running. Try not to
stop at any point and make your way around the course as fast as
possible. Make your way to the small balcony to grab the prize,
run back to the other balcony jump off and run into the portal.
Rewards: Character: The Cropolite
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[04g] - Monkeying Around
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
i) Simian Shootout
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 600
Silver : 1000
Gold : 1800
Platinum : 2000
How to: Woohoo, easy one this. Don't use your cross hair aiming thing for
this level as that just makes it harder. Go to the righthand side
of the fountain and just past it. Face lef (from where you start)
and just shoot at every monkey that flys over you and past. This
should easily grab you thousands, I got over 3000 on my first go!
Rewards: Character: Insect Mutant
ii) Monkey Mayhem
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 1000
Silver : 1500
Gold : 2500
Platinum : 3000
How to: To get the Gold (or Platinum) just aim for one door, the door on
the left which the first monkey comes out of seems to me to be
the busiest, and shoot all the melons that come out, try to get
as many shots as possible to be deadly accurate to get the 150
points instead of the 50. If you do this you should succed, much
easier then waving the sniper around like a madman.
Rewards: Character: Misfit
iii) Dam Bursters
Points Needed For Completion: Bronze : 4000
Silver : 6000
Gold : 8000
Platinum : 9000
How to: Switch the Minigun on (R1) and shoot all the monkeys that come
flying and rolling down the forzen lake towards the dam. This
ones more luck then skill so just shoot like mad at them. You
might find it easier to aim though to give you that extra bit of
accuracy.
Rewards: Character: Robofish
Level: Circus
Cheat: Paintball
