1. FOREWORD
Enemy Territory started life as an expansion pack for Return to Castle
Wolfenstein, however while the single player part of the pack was never
finished, the multiplayer part made by Splash Damage was finished. In what
appears to be a crazy move (considering the quality of this title) Activision
and id decided in their infinite wisdom to release the multiplayer part as a
free download. The rest as they say is history.
What makes ET different from the slew of other FPS out there? In one word:
Experience (XP). As you play and use your skills, you will be rewarded with
bonus skills and upgrades to your skills. This can and will give you an edge on
your opponents, unless of course, they have the higher XP. You will also
receive ranks based on your current XP.
->more to come. Maybe.
A lot of the stuff in this FAQ may seem obvious, but Einstein once said there
are only two things that are infinite... The universe and human stupidity....
and after playing ET and seeing how some people play I would have to agree.
To veiw this document in notepad make sure word wrap is on.
2. GENERAL TIPS
Here are a few tips to help your game:
- RTFM!!!! (Read the manual)
- Keep moving
- Lead your target if it is moving, this especially applies to 56k users
- If your team is missing a class fill it, you will gain xp faster as the only
type of that class, plus you will help your team out, though you can do without
a cov ops on some maps.
- Make sure you use all off your chosen class's abilities. For example medics
should heal and revive team mates, covert ops should steal uniforms and scout
for mines, field ops should call artillery on chokepoints and tanks, airstrike
clusters of enemy, as well as giving their team ammo.
- Take the time to learn the layout of the maps
- Listen to voice communications in the game. It can give you valuble clues as
to what the enemy is doing. For example if on the battery level as the axis you
hear "generator destroyed" you can generally assume at least a covert ops has
infiltrated your base . If you hear "Dynomite Planted!" and it says the
generator you can assume you have an engineer running loose in your base.
Almost all of the audio messages are clues you can take adavantage of.
- Always keep your ammo clip full by reloading after a firefight. There is
nothing worse than having to reload halfway through a fight.
- Use the numbers to switch weapons/equipment not the mousewheel.
- If your powerbar is empty and you near spawn and spawn time is 10 seconds or
so away, use /kill to kill yourself and when you respawn you will have a full
powerbar. This does not work on some etpro or shrubet servers
3. READER TIPS
Though I will make every effort to post your tip as you send it to me, in the
interest of comprehensability (did I just make up a new word?? :D) I may edit
or rephrase or retype your tip.
Submitted By - [SPETSNAZ II]
http://spetsnazklan.moonfruit.com
- If your chosen weapon runs out of ammo you can pick up any of the weapons
(default key "f") on the ground that your class can normally spawn with,
including those of the opposite team. Using the above technique you can swap
weapons back and forth as long as you do it within 30 seconds. E.G spawn as a
soldier with flamethrower go to camping spot, kill yourself, respawn with
panzer and run there real quick and swap to the flamethrower then when u want
the panzer just swap back to the panzer. This enables you to have two weapons
at once basically, and can be used for any class, eg cov ops with sten and
garand etc.
4. CLASSES
Soldier
Your basic grunt, the Soldier is the class able to pick from the greatest range
of weaponry, however he has no additional special abilities as do the other
classes.
One thing worth mentioning about the soldier is that when he gets lvl 4 heavy
weapons he is able to replace his pistol with a SMG if you choose to. This
means you can have a panzerfaust and a sub machine gun for example.
- Soldiers can choose from the mp40 for axis or the Thompson for allies. Shared
weapons are the Panzerfaust, Mortar, Flamethrower and Mobile MG42
- Never Spawn as a soldier with an SMG. If you want a SMG you can better serve
your team as a medic or field ops.
- If you spawn with any weapon other than the SMG your speed will be slowed
while walking. To walk at normal speed simply take out your pistol, grenades or
knife.
- Unless you know how to use a mortar dont bother picking one, a panzerfaust
will do you much better
- If you do take a mortar, and know how to use it, the command map can be
useful for targeting, and will be all the more useful if you have covert ops on
your team, as you can see enemy locations on this map, and adjust your mortar
accordingly.
- If your chosen weapon runs out of ammo you can pick up any of the weapons
(default key "f") on the ground that a soldier can normally spawn with,
including those of the opposite team. This go's for any of the classes, but you
can only pick up weapon types that your class can normally spawn with.
- (READER TIP - [SPETSNAZ II]) Using the above technique you can swap weapons
back and forth as long as you do it within 30 seconds. E.G spawn as a soldier
with flamethrower go to camping spot, kill yourself, respawn with panzer and
run there real quick and swap to the flamethrower then when u want the panzer
just swap back to the panzer.
Medic
A versatile class, the medic is the backbone of any team. Possessing the power
to revive fallen team mates and heal squad members, the medic spawns with the
least ammo of any of the classes, starting with 30 rounds (1 clip) and 1
grenade. This improves when you attain level 1 light weapons or lvl 1 medic
which grants you an additional clip and 1 more grenade.
Perks of being a medic include the ability to heal yourself. Medics naturally
regenerate health at 4 HP per second, and can also use their health packs to
heal themselves. Medics also can attain the highest HP of any class with 160 HP.
The other thing worth mentioning is the lvl 4 medic abilty " Adrenaline Self".
When this is used the player is given unlimited stamina and will take only half
damage from all attacks, at the cost of the players entire power bar.
- Medics can only spawn with the mp40 for the axis or the Thompson for the
allies
- When a player is under half health it is often better to kill them and revive
them, then use your health packs on them, as you can get two people up to full
health as a starting medic with this method, and when you get full revive it
lets you save your power bar for adrenaline self.
- Remember to revive your team mates. IF some one calls for a medic you can
press "g" to see on the command map where they called from, indicated by a
small red cross symbol.
- If you can see someone that needs reviving a syringe icon will appear above
their heads.
- When you start as a medic try and get at least one clip of ammo before
heading into battle. Often picking up dropped weapons is a good source of ammo.
Field Ops
Vital For any team is the field ops, who is the teams munitions expert. The
field ops has the ability to throw out ammo packs, which is handy for beginner
medics especially, but is generally useful for the whole team. If there is no
one around, throw your ammo packs on the paths leading out from your spawn
where your team mates can pick them up without going out of their way.
Feild ops can also call in artillery. To do this press B to whip out your
binoculars, then simply press your primary fire key at the center of the area
you want to call artillery onto. Bear in mind that artillery takes a while to
start up, but theres no indication its coming, and once it starts it last for a
while (even longer with lvl 3 field ops). It is great for stopping the tank if
you are axis, and a well placed artillery barrage can stop your oppenents dead
in their tracks.
Another field op abilty is the calling of airstrikes. To do this pull out your
airstrike canister and proceed to let her rip. Airstrikes will arrive almost
instantly, but your cannister will emit a large plume of brightly coloured
smoke which will almost certainly get everybody nearby to run like buggary,
which while sometimes making it hard to kill people with it, makes it very
useful for clearing out clusters of the enemy. Indoors the airstrike cannister
can be used as an impromptu smoke grenade.
- Field ops can only spawn with the mp40 for the axis or the Thompson for the
allies
- Artillery is best called on "chokepoints" or places where the enemy must pass
to complete their objective, for example on the gold rush level constant
artillery around the tank and tank barriers can make it amost impossible for
the allies to finish their mission.
- Dont call artillery where your team mates frequently pass through or if you
do at least tell them.
- Be carefull where you throw airstrikes. If you throw it under any object, the
pilot will abort the fire mission. The same applies if you throw it in front of
the tank, then the tank rolls over it. Try instead to throw it to the side of
the tank, behind it, or directly on top.
- Conversly if you are the receiving end of an airstrike, there are two things
you can do.
A) You can run like hell.
B) You can die :)
Covert Ops
Covert Ops come in two flavours, these are the spy/infiltrator and the sniper.
The spy will steal enemy uniforms at any chance and try to infiltrate enemy
lines to cause as much chaos as possible behind them. The sniper will hang back
and snipe the enemy from a nice distance. Sometimes they will be a mix of the
two depending on how the game is going.
As mentioned earlier covert ops have a special ability to steal uniforms of
dead enemy soldiers, which makes him appear to be that soldier to the opposite
team. This allows him to open enemy team doors, and allows him to get behind
the enemy defence and wreak general havoc. If do anything while in uniform to
hamper the enemys efforts, and one of them sees you, you will lose your
uniform, also level 4 field ops will be able to spot you straight away due to
their enemy recognition skill.
The covert ops also has the satchel charge which is a remotely activated bomb,
and can be used to destroy the smaller destructibles like mg nests,command
posts and the assault ramp on the battery level. It can also be used to set
traps amongst other things, for example place a charge on the train in the rail
gun level, then when the train starts moving, activate it and you should kill
whoevers inside. With a little imagination the satchel charge can be used for
many things, and any covert op should practice messing around with the stachel
charge.
An ablity to spot landmines for his team can make missions much easier for all
involved. To do this take out your binoculars and scan where you think mines
may be. If one is nearby a landmine icon will appear in your binoculars. Keep
them on that spot for about 5 seconds and the landmine flag will appear, and
your team will be notified that you have spotted a landmine.
The last thing to mention for the covert ops is the smoke grenade. It can be
used to provide cover for your team, or if you have stolen a uniform you can
place a smoke cannister there so enemy soldiers will not spot that the guys
pants are missing. A grenade will also do the same thing by gibbing the corpse.
- Both axis and allied covert ops can spawn with the Sten or the FG42 (A Sniper
and SMG combo). Side specific weapons are the K43 Sniper Rifle for axis and the
M1 Garand Sniper Rifle for allies.
- Your team may shoot you if you are in disguise. Get over it!
- Any Enemies that you can see, your team mates will be able to see on the
command map. This can be useful for directing mortar fire, as well as giving
everyone in the team an idea where the enemy is located.
Engineer
The engineer is possibly the most important member of the team. He will be
vital to any plans your team may have with his ability to contruct objects,
plant, and defuse dynomite. The objects the engineer can construct are mg nests
and towers, bridges, assault ramps, command posts, generators, water pumps,
rail gun firing controls and tank and truck barriers. What can be built by an
engineer can also be destroyed by opposing engineers dynomite. Engineers can
also repair things such as broken mgs, the truck and the tanks that are
scattered through the various levels.
On offense the abilty to plant dynomite is normally critical to your teams
success. A lot of map obejectives involve planting dynomite, for example fuel
dump and siwa oasis both need engineers to plant dynomite (and have it go off)
to finish the level.
The engineer will also have to use the dynomite to blow up obstacles blocking
his teams progress. These include the old city wall, tank and truck barriers
and the side and main entrances on the radar map. Occasionally defending
engineers will need to use dynomite to slow the enemys progress, such as the
bridge on the fuel dump level. Engineers can also defuse dynomite, and as it
takes 30 seconds to go off there is a good chance that an enemy engineer will
be able to defuse it, so gaurding your dyno is generally a good idea, but
beware of the enemy rushing to that spot.
The engineer can also plant landmines which are very useful for the team. I
will cover landmines in more detail in each of the maps, giving ideas of where
to plant for each side and so on, however if you feel like experimenting, any
area where enemy traffic is high is a good spot. While you are planting mines
(and dynomite) you are a vulnerable target, so be careful.
- Axis Engineers can spawn with the mp40 or the K43 with grenade launcher
attachment. Allies get either the Thompson or M1 Garand with grenade launcher
attachment
- Note that grenades your grenade launcher uses are not the same as the ones
you throw.
_ Both landmines and dynomite require you to "build" or arm them after you put
them down. This involves taking out your pliers and using them on the mine or
dyno. A small bar appears with either "Arming Landmine" or "Arming Dynomite"
and when this bar is full the mine or dyno is ready for use.
- Defusing landmines and dynomite is much the same as arming them. Take out
your pliers point them at the dyno or mine, and use them. A small bar appears
and when this is full the mine or dyno is defused.
5. WEAPONS
Knife
The last resort weapon for most classes, the knife can also be used for sneak
attacks from behind or to humiliate your opponents if you are feeling cheeky.
The knife always does more damage from behind, bear this in mind if you use it.
Covert Ops at lvl 4 gain the Backstab ability which allows an instant kill with
the knife from behind, extremely useful for a coverts ops in the spy role.
Luger 9mm and Colt .45 / Silenced Luger 9mm and Colt .45
The pistol is the backup weapon for all classes. There is not much to
distinguish between the two pistols of each side, they look different but thats
about it. The silence pistols are only available to the covert ops class, and
the silencers can be taken off and put back on with alt fire.
The pistol is very accurate, but slow firing (relatively), and if you have a
SMG you would be better off using that. At lvl 4 light weapons you get akimbo
pistols (dual weild pistols) which make your pistols much more lethal. Plus
they look cool when they shoot.
- Take the time to line up your shots, this is a pistol not a SMG remember.
- You can fire the pistol faster by pressing the primary fire button really fast
- Drag your mouse down slowly as you fire the pistol, as it slowly climbs.
MP40 and Thompson sub machine guns
Each sides smg is slightly different to the other sides. The MP40 is more
accurate than the Thompson and fires faster, but the thompson makes up for this
with more damage inflicted per bullet than the mp40. To compensate for the
thompsons innacuracy fire in short bursts. The MP40 can be fired in longer
bursts, but it too gets innacurate if you just spray you bullets arounds.
K43 and M1 Garand with grenade launchers
Single shot self loading rifles, with not much to distinguish these two, except
the garands clip must be fully depleted to reload, whereas the k43 can be
reloaded at any time. The only reason you would pick this weapon for the
engineer is if you wanted the grenade launcher otherwise go the smg.
The Grenade launcher is basically a mini mortar, useful for taking out enemy
strongpoints, and clusters of the enemy. The grenades can be bounced of walls,
making it possible to shoot around corners and into hard to reach spots. It has
a good range, but must be aimed higher than your target. If you are aiming at a
target near you try to bounce it of the floor into them. Firing the grenade
launcher takes half your powerbar, so if you cant fire it, make sure you have
enough powerbar.
- The rifle grenades have a timed fuse, so if you fire at a close target it may
take a while to explode
- If you have a near miss with a rifle grenade try just shooting the target a
few times. Odds are the explosion took a fair bit of health off.
K43 Sniper Rifle & M1 Garand Sniper Rifle
Single shot self loading rifles, with again not much to distinguish these two,
except the garands clip must be fully depleted to reload, whereas the k43 can
be reloaded at any time. The sniper variants of these also feature a silencer.
The sniper rifles are also the only rifles capable of a single shot kill. The
target must not have a helmet, and you must get a headshot. If you get a
headshot and the target has a helmet they will still have at least 10hp. If
there are two snipers on your team and you dont seem to be getting many kills,
wait for them to hit their target, then fire yours at the same target and you
will get the kill (if you hit them).
- Note that you must get out of the zoom mode to reload your rifle.
- When you fire the rifle in zoom mode your scope jerks upward. A quick way to
get back on target is to just zoom out, aquire the target, and zoom back in
Sten
A silenced sub machine gun, the Sten is extremely accurate, and can be used as
a psuedo sniper rifle if you can aim proficiently. The sten holds 32 rounds,
but is prone to overheating, and therefore must be fired in short bursts, or
you will find that you cannot fire the sten at the most crucial moments in a
firefight as it has overheated.
The sten is the best choice for a covert ops who is going to see a lot of close
quarters action, otherwise you may be better off with the sniper rifle.
FG42 Paratrooper Rifle
In my opinion one of the worst weapons to choose, many people disagree with me
and say these weapons are awesome if you know how to use it. The FG42 is
basically a sub machine gun with a scope. The catch is that you can only fire
single shots while zoomed in, and its innacurate as hell when used as a machine
gun. As a sniper rifle its not too bad with 3 shot kills, if you get headshots.
As a AMG it blows chunks, unless used in very short bursts (3 rounds or so), as
it is very very innacurate.
I cannot judge this weapon one way or the other having not used it as much as
all of the other weapons. I would normally pick what role my cov ops will be
doing in the team (eg sniper, spy) and pick my weapon accordingly, the k43 or
garand for the sniper and the sten for the spy. If you need to change your role
as a cov ops, simply change your weapon to match your new role.
Update:
I have been informed that the FG42 is "awesome" as a close combat weapon, I
will play more with it and update this with my findings.
Panzerfaust
A rocket launcher, the panzerfaust is ideal for taking out clusters of the
enemy, enemy strongpoints and the tank. Considered by many to be a cheap
weapon, if you take the panzerfaust you are basically assured at least 1 kill
before you die, due to its one shot kill properties. One of the best weapons to
choose as a newbie to ET it is easy to aim, and even if you miss you still may
get a kill due to spash damage. In the hands of an expert the panzer is lethal,
and will be vital for any good defense or offense.
- In general it is best to aim for the feet of the enemy when shooting, as even
a near hit will kill them, and if you aim for the body and they dodge and are
not in front of a wall, you will not kill them, and will most likely get gunned
down yourself.
- To abort firing while the panzer is warming up press the lean left or lean
right key
Machine Guns
The MG42 is the heavy machine gun of ET. It comes in two flavours, Mobile and
Emplaced. The two are much the same, for specific differences see below. There
is also a tank MG that while much the same as the MG42 has a few minor
differences.
- On any MG the key to living is to change your position often. If you stay on
a MG in the same place too long, you will get killed, as you are a priority
target for the opposing team.
Mobile MG 42
The mobile MG42 is one of the options for the soldier class. It is not very
accurate while not deployed, in fact unless you use very, very short bursts you
will be lucky if you hit anyone. To improve accuracy lay down and engage alt
fire and you will deploy a bipod for your MG. This has the disadvantage of
restricting your arc of fire to about 90 degrees, so make sure you can cover
the whole area you need to cover.
When deployed the MG's accuracy greatly improves though the screen shakes like
crazy when you fire it, to counteract this just use short bursts, this will
also stop the MG from oveheating too quickly. Ideal for covering narrow spaces
through which the enemy must pass, if positioned properly you should be able to
wreak havock with the MG.
- The Mobile MG only comes with 150 rounds, so you may want to pick up some
ammo on your way out of the spawn if possible.
- If you have less than 15 - 20 rounds left AND a spare clip, you should fire
of the remaining clip to avoid running out of ammo during a firefight, as the
mg takes 3 seconds or so to reload.
- Remember you can still move when you have the mg deployed, though you cannot
turn to the sides, you can use the strafe and foward and back keys still.
Emplaced MG 42
An emplaced version of the Mobile MG42, the Emplaced MG is like a permamently
deployed mobile mg in terms of accuracy. The main difference between the two is
that any class can use the emplaced MG's and the emplaced MG has unlimited
ammo. Other than that the same rules for the mobile MG42 apply.
- When you get on a emplaced MG42 the direction your crosshair is pointing when
you hit the use key will be the direction the MG crosshair is pointing.
Tank MG
While much the same as Emplaced MG, the Tank MG has a few vital differences
that make this subheading worthwhile. One of these differences is that when
firing the tank mg the screen doesnt shake like crazy, making aiming much
easier. The other difference is that the tank MG is much more accurate than an
emplaced or mobile MG42, making killing much easier, though this may an effect
of the reduced shaking of the screen.
However while on the tank you are a very vulnerable target, and once people
realise you are up there you had better get off or you will die rather quickly.
The only exception to this is if the opposing team has to come around a corner
to get to the tank. In this case someone on the tank can greatly impede the
opposing team.
- A good tactic for the tank MG is to use it to kill somebody, then as everyone
on the opposing team tries to kill you, hop off the tank and open up with your
SMG. Once they realise you are not on the tank, hop back on it and start
blazing away again. Repeat ad infinitum (that means To Infinty for you latin
illiterates out there) or until you die. If you are a medic you can also heal
yourself while you are off the tank. This tactic can also be used for Emplaced
MG's.
Flamethrower
Spewing forth a huge jet of flame, the flamethrower is potentially a
devestating weapon. However keeping you from realising that reality are two
factors:
- You are slowed when carrying the flamethrower, and slowed even more when
firing it.
- No matter how far you can shoot with the flamethrower nearly every other
weapon can shoot further
That being said in the hands of someone who knows how to use it the
flamethrower can cause a great deal of annoyance amongst the emeny. Because you
are slowed when firing and carrying it, it is best to wait in ambush in a nice
confined spot (like a room) where your flames will do maximum damage, and the
target can not run too far.Fire short bursts of flame at your target and
remember to keep dodging. The fire will bounce of the wall too, and this can
be used to your advantage to bounce the fire around corners and kill enemy
soldiers inside bunkers and suchlike.
- Beware of cooking yourself and your teammates. Nothing sucks more than
getting flamethrowered by your own team in your own spawn, unless its getting
panzered by your own team in your own spawn.
-If you fire the FT at someone who is too close too you, you risk a chance of
setting yourself on fire.
- When facing a flamethrower hit sprint and run backwards away from the
flamethrower guy while shooting at source of the flames (as often you cant see
the actual person firing the FT)
Mortar
A bit of a mixed bag the mortar, when in the hands of an expert can wreak great
damage on the oppoising teams. The way the mortar works is like this....
You deploy your mortar with alt fire, then elevation and bearing displays
appear. Basically to shoot closer to you aim higher. If you raise the mortar to
its maximum azimuth and fire the mortar shell will go striaght up and come down
on top of you (unless you are on a hill, then it can be kinda fun firing the
mortar behind you). Conversely to shoot furthur away aim lower. The only
problem with this is that hills may get in you way. After you have fired a
round, press g to open your command map. When your mortar shell hits, the
location it hits will be marked by a small target symbol, use this information
to adjust the targetting of your mortar.
If you have a cov ops on your team any enemys he can see will marked on the
command map. This can be used to help target the mortar too.
- If you want to use the mortar a lot it might be a good idea to write down
elevation and bearing combinations, so you dont have to figure them out again
every map.
- When I get around to it I will post some bearing and elevation numbers for
each map.
6.MAPS - This part is still being written -
Squads assume 10 people playing a side. If more or less are playing use the
same general strategy, but with classes varied according. e.g if 8 are playing
on battery (as the axis) lose the eng and 1 of the feild ops from squad 1.
Duplicate squad members should be removed first, unless as in the case of the
engineer in sqaud 1 they are not vital to the defense of the beach, whereas the
two covert ops are kept because they can blow the assault ramp instantly, which
is vital to the defense of the beach. Remember this is just a guide and should
be adjusted to the flow of the battle. In a non clan game use the same strategy
appropiate to the class you have picked.
-Battery
-Discription
In this level allies must destroy the controls of a large shore battery
codenamed "siegfried". A beach landing scenario, the allies must fight their
way up the beach, contruct an assault ramp, and plant dynomite on the gun
controls. Capturing the west bunker is optional, but always helps. The other
way in is through the back, but you will need a cov ops in uniform to open the
axis team door, unless the generator has been destroyed (a cov ops satchel
charge will take care of this). If youve ever seen the movie "The Guns Of
Navarone" this level is reminiscent of that movie, the blast doors near the
rear axis team door especially remind me of the movie, as does the gun itself.
-Axis Stage 1 West bunker intact
Squad 1
Medic, Fld Ops, Fld Ops, Cov Ops, Cov Ops, Panzerfaust Soldier, Eng
This squads job is to stop the allies building assault ramp, or failing that,
from taking the west bunker or sneaking through to gun controls. The medics job
is to run around and heal and revive squad members, only attacking when he can
not aid his fellow team. One of the fld ops should call artillerty near the
west (MUST CHECK) allied spawn, the other near the assault ramp construction
boxes. If the assault ramp is constructed, immediatly try and call artillery
where the construction boxes would be. This should hopefully stop anyone coming
up the ramp, and give the covert ops a chance to destroy it. If there is a lull
in the fighting one fld ops distribute ammo packs to the team, the other save
your powerbar for artillery, when you see them coming up the beach call it in
on the assault ramp construction boxes. The covert ops job is simply to satchel
charge the assault ramp if it gets built, and perhaps take out enemy snipers.
The panzer should hang around the west bunker, and can fire at will at any
target, but groups of allies will advance regularly up the beach making them a
perfect target for the panzer. If any of your own team go on the beach, whether
on purpous or accidentally, you should panzer their bodies to stop enemy covert
ops stealing the uniform and going in the back way. Annoying snipers should
also be panzered. The engineers job is to keep mines planted in front of the
door to the bunker to stop enemy engineers sneaking in without capturing the
west bunker. The engineer can also plant dynomite on the assault ramp in case
both of the cov ops are dead, and if dynomite is planted on the gun controls,
can also try for a mad dash to defuse it (for this reason try and keep your
stamina bar at least halfway full). This engineer should also keep the west
bunker MG42's repaired.
- DONT GO ON THE BEACH
- If the assault ramp is built enemy engineers (for that matter any class) may
try to "sneak" in to the gun controls, without capturing the west bunker first
- Beware of staying in the west bunker. It is often the target of panzer
attacks or mortar rounds. If you must hang around in the west bunker try not to
stand to close the the window.
- If you see the assault ramp being constructed lob a few grenades down there.
- If the beach seems too quiet odds are they are going through the back way.
You had better start running for the gun controls :)
Squad 2
Eng (1), Eng (2), Medic
This squad will cover the back way into the bunker, in case any enemy cov ops
manage to get a uniform. This squad will spawn in the bunker and immediatly eng
1 will make a run for the back door and start laying mines along the back
passage ahead of the command post. Meanwhile Eng 2 will go around and construct
the various mgs around the bunker, ending with the one near the back team door.
While this is going on the medic will gaurd the back team door, in case
engineer 1 gets killed and his uniform stolen. If after laying mines back to
the cmd post no allies have appeared, eng 1 should build the command post, then
lay mines right outside the door and all the way back down to the team door
area. After all this is done their job is simply to gaurd the back door and not
go out it. If Dynomite is planted on the gun controls in this period it will be
this squads job to defuse it.
- DONT GO OUT THE BACK AFTER ENG 1 IS DONE THERE
- Beware of enemy covert ops trying to come through the back door.
- Keep an eye out on the kill messages. If some is killed by eng 1s landmines
you know they are trying for back way.
- On the same track if the command post is damaged, contructed or has dyno
planted, you can also assume that they are coming your way.
-Axis Stage 2 West bunker captured
Squad 1
Medic, Fld Ops, Cov Ops, Cov Ops, Panzer/FT Soldier
This squad will try to destroy the assault ramp, and take back the west bunker.
The medic, feild ops and panzer/FT will gaurd the bunker and try to stop the
enemy. The room outside the spawn, and the long corridor with the mg nest
pointing down it is a good place to this, as is outside the west bunker itself.
Meanwhile the cov ops will assist in this. When there is a lull in the fighting
the cov ops will try to destroy the assault ramp, and take back the west
bunker, in that order. A good way to do this is to jump out of the mg nest
window, located up the ladder near the spawn point. Engineers are priority
targets for all classes, and make sure you put a few extra rounds into them to
stop medics reviving them. If the assault ramp is destroyed and the west bunker
recaptured, then go back to stage 1's strategy.
Squad 2
Eng, Eng, Eng, Medic, Medic
This squad will gaurd the back way and the gun controls. After the west bunker
is captured 1 medic and 1 eng should go immediatly to the gun controls and
gaurd it. The other squad members should gaurd the back team door, as plenty of
enemy cov ops should be coming through the back way. If dynomite is planted on
the gun controls then all of this squad should converge on the controls as soon
as possible. If the assault ramp is destroyed and the west bunker recaptured,
then go back to stage 1's strategy. If the assault from the west bunker is
particulary strong the team gaurding the back door can reinforce, but the team
in the gun controls will have to be on particular alert.
- AGAIN DONT GO OUT THE BACK
-Allies Stage 1 West bunker intact
Squad 1. Eng,Eng,Eng,Fld Ops,Medic,Cov Ops,Cov Ops,Cov Ops,Mortar/Panzer
Soldiers for whatever is left of the team.
Your goal here is to build the assault ramp and gain access to the gun
controls. This may or may not include capturing the west bunker. When the level
starts the engineers should build the beach mgs and the command post. After
this their main goal is to build the assault ramp. Feild Ops should be
supplying ammo to the mortar(s) and/or airstriking the area above where the
assault ramp is built. Artillery can be used but this is generally not
advisable as you are likely to splat your own team as they go for the west
bunker if the ramp does get built. The covert ops (all of them) meanwhile will
be snipering the crap out of the axis and trying their utmost to get their
hands on a uniform. When and if a uniform is obtained the covert ops should
inform their team they have a uniform, then proceed to the rear axis team door.
Once there with a engineer, open the door and let him in then follow yourself.
Destroy the generator controls with your satchel charge, then proceed to the
gun controls to back up the engineer. Once the generator is destroyed those
blast doors doors will open and allies can get in through the back way freely.
To get to the back way quickly, choose to spawn at the command post. The
Mortars/Panzers meanwhile will be keeping a constant barrage into the west
bunker to stop axis troops holeing up in there. A skilled mortar user should be
able to mortar right into the bunker. The medic will be backin up the troops
making the assault on the ramp area.
Once the assault ramp is built if you are an engineer you can try to sneak to
the gun controls without capturing the west bunker, this can be a game winner
if you manage to pull it off. Covert Ops should still be trying to get a
uniform and open up the back way as this will make them divide their attention
between the west bunker and the back way. All other classes should be running
for the west bunker to capture it for the allies.
-Allies Stage 2 West bunker captured
Squad 1 Eng,Eng,Eng,Medic,Medic,Medic,Fld Ops,Cov Ops,Panzerfaust
Soldier,Flamethrower Soldier
Once you capture the west bunker you can begin to make a proper assault on the
main bunker. Theres only two ways in here, the door directly ahead of the
spawn, and the blast doors which have to be opened from the inside. Either way
opens (directly and indirectly) into a corridor with a mg nest pointing right
down it, and after this there is a room which opens directly into their spawn
pretty much. From here on its like a maze so I wont describe it, but if you are
finding navigating the axis base hard, remember the blue signs point the way to
the gun controls, and the yellow ones lead to the generator. The green ones
will lead back out the the west bunker.
Basically the engineers should try to make it to the gun controls and plant
dynomite, and gaurd the dynomite until it explodes. Medics should follow then
engineers and keep them alive and topped up with health, as well as providing
cover while the engineer is doing the plant. Remember this does not mean ignore
the other classes as well, if they are fairly close and need a medic go and
help them then resume your course back to the gun controls. The feild ops
should be keeping the team supplied with ammo, especially the soldiers and
medics, as well as backing up the soldiers. If nessecary escort the engineers
to the gun controls if there are no medics around. The two soldiers main job is
to clear the aforementioned corridor and room area of axis soldiers to allow
the engineers safe passage through that room. Once you are in or near this room
you should stay and camp it killing axis soldiers as they spawn. This will
greatly impede their defensive efforts, making things much easier for the
engineers and medics trying to make it to the gun controls. The covert ops will
be assisting with all of this, and when the chance arises should steal a
uniform and go and destroy the generator (if it is intact) to open the rear
blast doors, as well as the doors on the lower level of the gun control room,
and the metal door near the west bunker/axis spawn area.
If the rear blast doors are open the engineers can also try to enter the base
the back way, this is a more direct route to the controls, and if you are lucky
less heavily gaurded. If an more than 1 engineers is trying to get through the
back way a medic should follow them as back up.
Once the dynomite is planted mayhem will ensue. Most of the axis will do a
runner for the gun guntrols at this point, so get yourself a nice camping spot
in the gun room, against the wall oppisite the gun in the 4 corners is a good
spot. If you are lucky and your engineer was camping his dyno 30 seconds later
the level will be over.
-Siwa Oasis
-Discription
Two anti tank guns stop allied tanks from adavancing. Allies must attack and
destroy these guns to allow tanks passage. The only problem is the axis
obviously dont want them to do this. To gain access to the guns the allies must
either blow up the old city wall or repair both water pumps. There is a axis
team door next to the old city wall that a engineer and cov ops team could
conceivably reach, but it should prove difficult to do this.
-Axis Stage 1 Old city spawn axis
Your goal here is to stop the allies repairing the old city water pumps,
planting dynomite at old city wall, or doing the "wall jump" over the old city
wall. To this end engineers should mine the old city courtyard extensivly
especially near the wall and water pumps. Engineers should then hang around the
old city and gaurd it, recapturing when nessecary, and defusing dynomite and
replacing mines as nessecary. If there is a lull in the fighting, /kill, spawn
near the anti tank guns a build the command post A Mobile MG42 and/or panzer
camping the doorway near the allied command post will come in handy, They
should also keep an eye out for enemy running on the lower level. Another
Panzer should also go and gaurd where the well is across from spawn, allies
will be coming 3 ways here, up the well, from behind you up the ladder, and
down the stairs. A Feild Ops will come in handy, mainly for calling artillery,
as there is a ammo/health room next to your spawn anyway, but if your team call
for ammo and you are nearby give them some ffs! A medic/s should be gaurding
each panzer soldier, and generally the team as well, giving out health packs
and reviving as needed. Covert Ops does not have much to do at this stage,
apart from satchel charging allied cmd post, and should try and steal uniforms
and cause as much havoc as possible.
-Axis Stage 1a Old city spawn allies
GET THE FLAG BACK AS QUICK AS YOU CAN! A good time to do it is when you have 2
seconds to spawn as the allies shouldnt be able to get it back before your side
respawns. Failing to get the old city back will mean the allies will be able to
plant dynomite at old city wall, unless you do something about it. The Fld Ops
can call art near the old city wall, or the old city spawn however you may hit
your own team trying to defuse dyno, or reclaim old city. Do it anyway its
better to have half their team dead and one or two of yours rather than them
gunning you down like dogs. You could also throw airstrikes, but you hardly
ever hit anyone with those. The Panzers will be taking out engineers and medics
first then the rest of the allied team as they see fit. Medics will be hanging
around healing people, reviving and making the odd dash for the old city spawn.
A covert ops in unifrom can also try sneaking in to get the old city wall back.
-Axis Stage 2 Old city wall breached
You must defend the guns for this reason 1 - 2 people should stay with each gun
at all times, preferable and engineer and medic. With that out of the way,
Engineers should plant mines, the doorways into the axis fort, and the side
path near the tunnels, as well as the tunnels themselves are all good places
for this. You must keep these mines replenished too, as people set them off go
and replace them. Another good place is at the base of the stairs going up to
the guns, and at the base of those wooden stairs across from your spawn. Allies
always try and run up there. When you are not planing mines you should be
either building the cmd post repairing the garrison MG or garuding one of the
guns. Medics should hang around the guns or the places where the allies enter
the fort area (the tunnels, the multistorey building), healing and reviving as
nessecary. Feild Ops should try and art either their spawn area, or one of the
two exits mentioned above, distributing ammo as it is needed. A Mobile MG42 in
the tunnel will really screw them up if the player is good on the MG, a good
spot to set up is just as you go in the tunnels, before the water as they will
have to come around a corner and stand in good veiw of you to get a decent shot
off. Other good spots are near the guns (the passage leading to them), and near
the multi story building the allies come out of from the old city wall.
-Allies Stage 1 Old city spawn axis
Your objective here is to dynomite the old city wall. Capturing the Old city is
optional but definatly makes things easier. There are 3 paths you can take to
the old city, the tunnels, the route past the command post and the route under
the command post. The tunnels take you to a well pretty much directly across
from the axis spawn, which can be seen from the doorway near it. The route past
the command post leads around the back way, eventually ending on the roof above
the axis spawn. The route under the command post leads to roughly the middle
area between the other two, and from there you can choose your route. All
routes have crossover points, and they all eventually lead to the axis spawn
and old city wall.
To begin with the engineers should contruct the Oasis water pump (near the
allied spawn), and the allied command post. After this there is an MG nest
overlooking the old city courtyard that can greatly help your team if built.
The engineers should then try and dynomite the old dity wall as quickly as
possible, capturing the old city if convenient. The feild ops should give out
ammo, and airstrike the old city courtyard area, artillery can be used but
remember if the old city is captured you may end up shelling your own team. If
dynomite is planted call artillery on it to try and stop enemy engineers
defusing it. Also capture the old city if you can. Soldiers should try and hang
around other team mates and just provide general back up, a few good camping
spots are on top of the axis spawn, and the buildings around the courtyard near
the Garrison MG nest. Again Capture the old city if you can. Medics will
provide back up to the engineers and try and keep the rest of the team in
fighting shape, capturing the old city whenever possible. The covert ops goal
will be to get a uniform and capture the old city.
- The best time to capture the old city is when your team has about 2 seconds
to spawn, this way your respawning team mates will appear in the old city, and
the axis wont have much time to get it back before this happens.
- The best route (but the longest) to the old city is past the command post,
down the hole, follow this path and you will eventually end up on top of the
axis spawn.
- If you can breach the old city wall the spawn nearby becomes allied
permanently
-Allies Stage 1a Old city spawn allies
Once the Old city is captured the allies main goal will be to dynomite the
wall. To this end the whole team should be backing up the engineers as they try
and plant dynomite. Feild Ops throw airstrikes over the old city wall, and give
out ammo as needed. Medics backup engineers, anyone else is secondary at this
time. Soldiers backup the engineers, a good panzer spot is above the axis
spawn, on the broken walls. They will be coming over the little ledge to the
right of old city wall. Another Panzer should also cover the axis team door to
the left of the old city wall. once Dynomite has been planted at the old city
wall engineers can repair the old city water pumps.
- Be on the lookout for axis soldiers coming from the direction of your first
spawn, sometimes there are a few still gaurding that direction when the old
city is captured.
-Allies Stage 2 Old city wall breached
when the old city wall is breached your task will be to destroy the two anti
tank guns that are stopping allied tanks from advancing. These are located at
oppisite ends of a courtyard near the axis spawn area, and must be dynomited to
be destroyed. This will mean getting an engineer to each gun. There are
basically two routes to the axis spawn area, the tunnels or past the old city
wall and through either the top or bottom of the building. They both lead to
the same area but on opposite sides, making each handy for getting to a certain
gun. Once inside the axis fort, there are a couple ways to the guns. Directly
across from the axis spawn is a wooden staircase which can be used to get to
the guns, but if you are unlucky enough to have the axis team spawn behind you
as you run up the stairs you will probably die. There is a ladder underneath
the axis MG nest in the middle of the courtyard area that can be used to access
the guns. There are also two staircases near the guns themselves, the easiest
route, but also the most deadly. There is a path connecting the two guns
through the building, this is the area that the first two routes open on to.
Which ever way you choose its going to be tough to get to those guns.
Engineers should obviously be trying to get to the anti tank guns and dynomite
them. Soldiers and Medics should be backing up the engineers, the medics
healing other team mates as nessecary, the panzers shooting anything that moves
(except your own team of course). Feild Ops should be ditributing ammo as
nessecary, as well shelling the axis spawn area and throwing airstrikes into
the tank gun courtyard area. Covert ops should generally get uniforms and wreak
as much havoc as possible behind enemy lines, destroying the axis command post
as nessecary. There should be plenty of mines around the entrances to the guns,
and much resistance from axis soldiers as you fight your way to the gun. Once</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
you make it to the entrances to the axis fort area proceed carefully.
- There may be mobile MG 42's scattered around especially in the tunnels, have
a panzer or a rifle grenade engineer take them out.
- Watch out for panzers when exiting the route from the old city wall through
the building to the axis spawn.
- Remember the engineers need to stay alive as long as possible, sacrifice
yourself to save them if nessecary.
- If you plant dynomite on one gun, try running through the building to the
other gun. Chances are the axis will be so busy with the gun you just planted
dynomite on, no one will be gaurding the other one.

7. USEFUL CONSOLE COMMANDS
To access the console press the ~ (tilde) key. This is located to the left the
number 1 on most keybaords.
/kill
Instantly kills the player, useful for respawning with a full power bar and
ammo.
/cg_fov xxx
increases the players veiwing feild, xxx is a number between 90 and 120. This
gives a fisheye lens effect that increases peripheral vison. You can set higher
numbers than 120, but beware as punkbuster may kick you for it.
/draw_fps x (or its /cg_drawfps x) Ill check and change this.
Displays a frames per second counter just under the mission time clock. x is 1
for on 0 for off.
/bind x "command"
binds the command to the x key. You can replace x with any key. e.g /bind i
"kill" will bind the /kill command to the "i" key. This can be used for the
vsays so you could bind need a medic to m for example.
