--->Storyline<---
The first blast wiped out your Space Center. In just 3 hours, the high-
tech weapons satellite is going to strike again...
It's your job to make sure that it doesn't.
Play the role of Jean-Luc Couger, a special operative for an independent
goverment agency called S.C.A.T. (Strategic Covert Actions Team). A
terrorist group called the "Crying Lions" has infiltrated the high-tech
security complex that houses the GULF Strategic Weapons System, a high-
tech satellite with laser capabilities. They have already destroyed the
Center for Space Research, and their leader has announced that they have
no demands - the main agenda is destruction. The GULF system needs from
3 to 4 hours to power up before the next blast, so Jean-Luc and the
other operatives have just about 3 hours in which to accomplish the
impossible - take back control of the GULF complex, or disable it so
that the terrorists may not make use of it.
Several years ago, the country of Saroczia was ripped apart by civil
war, the result of ethnic strife and mounting pressures. In order to
bring peace to its troubled neighbor, Argent agreed to lend its military
support to the government in Saroczia. After a year of long fighting,
the government of Saroczia seemed ready to stand on its own. The leaders
of the anti-government movement vowed that one day they would achieve
ethnic independence, and left Saroczia to spread out over the globe
as mercenaries. After several years of stability, and with the military
might of Argent behind it, Saroczia has reached new heights of
popularity with the people; the independence movement is all but dead -
except for the small group led by Kenneth Coleman - who know holds the
fate of Argent in his hands.

--->Game Controls<---
--->Attack Mode
Automatic Sighting system (R + A)
The automatic sighting system focuses your weapons sight on the enemy in
front of you. When faced with more than one enemy, the system focuses
first on the most dangerous enemy. Using the control stick, you can
switch the focus to other enemies by simply moving the sight to the
general area of the enemy you wish to target.
Reload (B)
This reloads your weapon. It is possible to load while in motion or with
your back to the wall.
Weapon Toggle (C Up)
This button allows you to choose among the weapons that you are
carrying.
Manual Sighting (R + Control Stick + A)
The control stick guides the targeting system of the weapon. As
mentioned previously this allows you to change your aim to different
enemies. It also allows you to shoot objects other than your enemies.
(eg. drums, crates, etc.)
Setting Bombs (Directional Button + Down)
Set and explode bombs using this control.
Hand to Hand (A)
Pressing the A button while in close proximity to an enemy character
allows you to kick your enemy. Although it does not do much damage, it
does throw your enemy off balance. This is useful when you need to
reload. Also, it is possible to defeat your enemy with one blow if you
can strike from behind before they realize your presence.
--->Movement
Movement (Control Stick)
The control stick causes the character to move in the indicated
direction. Movement speed is controlled by the angle of the control
stick. The greater the angle, the faster the character moves.
Back to the Wall (A)
Pushing the A button while close to a wall allows you to put your back
to the wall. The control stick allows you to move slowly along the wall
while in that position. This is useful when approaching corners.
Crouching (Z)
Crouching allows you to hide behind short objects. The control stick
allows movement while in this position as well. You can move from box to
box and avoid much enemy fire. Also crouching throws off your opponents
aim at times.
Evasive Action (A + Control Stick)
Use of these button while ducking down allows you to do a forward roll.
This is useful if you need to move quickly while staying under cover.
Opening Doors (A)
This button allows you to open doors and get the items or enemies on the
other side of those doors.
Picking up Items (A)
Allows you to pick up and use various items.
--->Camera
Changing Point of Focus (C Left + Right)
This spans the camera from left to right allowing you to view around
you. In Capture Camera Mode, it allows you to choose which enemy to lock
on to.
Camera Toggle (C Down)
This allows you to choose between camera modes. If pressed while an
enemy is in your field of view, this locks the camera on that enemy
(Capture Camera Mode). This is useful when fighting Boss Characters with
underlings.
--->Weapons<---
--->Confirmed Weapons
Rocket Laucher - A Gun which shoots Rockets out, usually
big, I havent seen one yet in any screen shots, but Im
sure its the weapon everyone wants.
Plastic Explosives - Basically, bombs, plastique, possibly
in an objective you have to lay a bomb, from what I have
seen, the explosives are cool.
Flamethrowers - A gun which throws out flame, I hope
enemies start on fire which would be a neat effect.
Assault Rifle - More of a "machine gun", a great weapon to
have.
Shotgun - Slow but powerful, the shotgun hopefully will give
you the feeling of the kick on one.
Pistol(always with infinite ammo) - a hand gun!
--->Unconfirmed Weapons
Frenchi Spas12 - Basically a type of Shotgun, This isnt
unconfirmed, but I found it in screen shots.
C4 Explosive - A type of explosive, its in a movie, do you
know which one?
--->Strategy Hints<---
--->One at a time
Take your enemies one at a time. One on one is both easier and safer
than ten on one. Jumping out in a crowd and starting to shoot guarantees
that you will get hit a number of times. Don't lose life points
needlessly. Make effective use of the terrain to sneak up on your
enemies. Be careful about making unnecessary noise. The enemy has very
good ears and will converge on the area from which the noise
originates.
--->Explosives
It is also good to use the exploding crates and drums. Use the Control
Stick to sight on these explosive items. Enemies hiding behind or near
these objects take a lot of damage.
--->Use Surprise
After sneaking up close to an enemy, jump out and shoot them. For
example, at a corner move to the very edge. Then jump out and shoot them
before they get set. Whenever possible, get around your enemy and shoot
him in the back. This is extremely effective. Frequently, you can kill
him with one shot.
--->Timely Reloading
You are defenseless while reloading. So don't do it while in the middle
of a gun fight. Nine times out of ten, you will get shot. Getting shot
stops the reloading process. Find someplace out of sight of your enemy
to do your reloading. Whenever possible start a gun fight with a full
magazine.
--->Camera
There are two modes for the camera: Normal Mode and Capture Camera Mode
(CCM). CCM locks the camera's orientation on an indicated enemy. Each is
different in ease of control and in speed (time it takes to lock on to
an enemy). Each has its strong points and its weak points. Choosing
which to use at any given time is important.
--->Walkthrough<---
--->Stage 1
You start out with a machine gun, a shotgun and the pistol. You should
start out behind a large blue box, turn around and shoot this guy, But
do not let him run away and get his friend, finish him off right away.
After killing this guy pick up the magazine and run behind the next wall
where you will find another enemy. Nail him like the last guy, then if
you keep on going you will see two boxes like this:
box
box
you
Go to the first box, then run to the next box. You might see some bad
guys, kill them with your pistol. Then run to a large white box and hide
behind it, then to a blue box ahead. 3 enemies should come in sight, 2
of them like to move around alot, kill the two on the ground, dont worry
about the one on the roof yet. After killing them, go to the truck and
hide behind the bumper, I use the shotgun for this guy. I pop out and
the guy should "fall" to his death off the roof. This should be very
simple if you take your time and use stealth. Now walk to the door, if
the enemy has his back facing you, simply pistol whip him. then to your
left you will find a bag of goodies with ammo. Pick the ammo up. Now
dont just run outside the door, there is one guy who follows you and
pops up! I reccomend hiding behind something, but you can get away with
just shooting him. Now keep on going to the silver box and you should
get a cut scene. After the cut scene two enemies approach, take
your time and take care of the first one, the other guy should be by the
last box, take him out. Now you get to your first laser trap in the
game. Shoot the box like you do in training mode and continue. Be
careful and crouch between the 2 boxes, try not to let the bad guys call
for help. Finish all of them off, If you feel like wasting ammo, use
your machine gun or shotgun, but a pistol is fine. In the right corner
pick up some ammo for your shotgun,then shoot the brown box. Crouch
and run ahead to the first blue box, then kill the next 2 enemies. Keep
on crouching between boxes double checking everything and takin your
time. Then you come up to 2 enemies blast them away with a pistol and go
ahead. Crawl down the ladder to the checkpoint. Get your machine gun out
cause you need to kill the next guy quickly so he doesnt go back, crouch
under the first box and he should show up, after shooting him, crouch
behind the next one. If you go ahead you will see a blue laser, you can
check out the cut scene but basically theres a laser switch you need to
shoot up there. So take a right. Now take a left, get ready for your
biggest challenge yet. Run crouched to the first box. Take a breath,
then use my strategy:Run crouched until you see enemies start to run,
then run back to the box you were at. There should be 3 enemies for you
to kill. Use your machine gun and try not to get hit. When you do that
try to let the guy on the upper level leave also. Once killing both
of those guys, climb up the ladder. I have a new strategy, just crouch
and pick the enemies up with your machine gun because it has a longer
range. Then pick up the C4 Explosive and there should be a plateau where
you can see the water. Then shoot that guy with your machine gun
quickly, and pick up the magazine. Run across the bridge and shoot the
guy quickly so he doesnt get behind his wall. After this one shoot the
box to get a med kit! If you turn to your left you will find a laser
switch on the other side, shoot it and hide by where you shot the guy
from above. Some baddies should come back, Shoot them! And go back down
the ladder. Back in the water hide by the med kit and shoot the bad guy
with a pistol. Then theres a guy waiting to your right, dont go left!
pick him off and continue by taking a right, then you should see 3 bad
guys, I would use a shotgun or a machine gun, but do this slowly and try
not to get hit. Shoot a box to continue on. Move ahead and crouch, there
should be 3 or 2 guys waiting for you, take your time, these guys are
smart, and use your machine gun to take them out! After getting them run
to where you were shooting your enemies, but watch out because a
man may walk up behind you, so be ready. Now go into the room with the
big fence around it and by the medkit there should be a ladder, go down
it. After the cut scene there is a laser hovering, I use a shotgun and
shoot the enemies, then I shoot the laser conrtoller thingy and
continue up the ladder. After doing that, hide behind the blue box and
kill the enemy. Go into the door and you have beaten level 1!
--->Level 2
When you reach the edge of the building, the camera perspective changes.
You now look down over an open area with some crates in it. An enemy
will move across this area from left to right. You can only target him
with your submachine gun. You don't have to take him out, but if you
want to, you'll have to lead your shot a little in front of him. Target
him with the bottom C button, aim with R, and use the joystick to move
your laser sight just barely in front of him as he runs. Another enemy
will enter from the upper right; he'll take cover behind a crate and
start shooting. Use your submachine gun on him, too. You can waste him
pretty easy, or just ignore him and run away. When you're finished here,
move to your left and run toward the camera until the perspective
returns to normal. Follow the fence to the door and go through the door.
You're in a room with one long conveyer. Move to the edge of the
conveyer and head right; you'll trigger a cut scene. Some crates will
start moving. Guards face you on the other side of the belt; hide behind
the moving crates to reach the far end of the conveyer belt. Go around
the end to the left. As you work your way down the other side of the
belt, you'll come up from behind on two guards. You can pistol-whip each
one if they didn't see behind the moving crate. Continue past where the
second guard was and go through the door. You're back out on the roof.
To your left is a large structure that looks like a generator or large
fan housing. Crouch down in the middle of it; an enemy will position
himself just around the corner of the rail up ahead. When you see him,
target him and take him out. Once he's out of the way, move to the edge
of the railing (just before it turns the corner). The railing provides
adequate cover from your next enemy, a guy with a machine gun. The rail
he's hiding behind may protect him from your auto-aim shots. You might
have to auto-aim, then pull back very slightly on the joystick to raise
your laser sight and hit this guy in the head. Once he's gone, continue
around the corner to the next generator-thing and hide behind it.
There's another enemy behind the far rail. He can't hit you even if you
stand up behind this generator structure. Swing out and get rid of him.
Again, you may have to aim high. Now go around the generator and follow
the path around. You'll see a recess in the fence with a ladder going
down. Go down the ladder. As soon as your feet are on the ground, crouch
down, turn left, and blow up the wooden crate. The brown crate on top of
it will drop down, making the back of the truck accessible. You'll have
to backtrack quite a ways to the ramp that leads up to the truck, but
it's worth it: there's an ammo pouch in the truck. Now move to the right
of the ladder, around the blue container. You'll find a laser switch.
Take it out. Go behind the sand bags for some health, then come out from
behind the sand bags, and follow the wall of the large white container
they're up against. Go around the first corner, put your back up against
the white container's wall, and slide to the left. You'll see three
enemies waiting for you. Target the enemy furthest to the left and take
him out one shot at a time. Remember the other two guys will try to aim
and shoot before you swing back behind the container each time you
shoot, so be quick! Once the far left guy is gone, target and take out
the middle guy, then the guy on the right. Continue around the corner
and go through the door. Run around the blue container to your left.
You're in an empty alley with a small building and an explosive barrel
at the other end. Shoot the barrel as soon as you can see it. The
building has an open doorway facing into the alley. DO NOT go in the
doorway, there are two enemies standing inside it. Sneak up to the wall
just to your side of the doorway, put your back up against it, and pop
these guys with the swingout technique. Enter the building, go to the
desk in the corner and get the key. Get the health in the other corner
if you need it. Walk out of the building and quickly crouch down behind
the small blue box. Take out the enemy on the other side of the small
blue box, and stay down. Take out the other enemy behind the low wall to
your left. If you only hit this guy once, he'll try to run away, so make
sure you finish him quickly. Go back to the door you came in from and go
through it. Crouch down and move to the red box on your left. If you're
lucky, the enemy won't see or hear you, and will just continue
patrolling past. The next time he walks by, wait for him to turn his
back on you and pop him. Go around the red crate and put your back up
against the white wall adjacent to the red crate. Swing out and take out
the enemy at the top of the ladder. Go around the corner and put your
back against the white wall. Slide to your right and blow away the three
guys behind the sand bags. One might reposition himself in front of the
sand bags, but he won't rush you. Try using your shotgun on these guys,
they're close together. Go past where the lasers were and through the
door in the fence. Head up the ramp on your right. You're back in the
hall with the exploded wall. Immediately run to the red box and crouch
down. An enemy will position himself on the other side of the box. Don't
worry, he won't shoot you when you're crouching. Be bold and take him
out. Use the crates for cover from the enemies behind them. Once the
first guy is out, move up to the conveyer belt. You'll have three new
enemies, each one behind a different conveyer belt (near, medium and
far). Use the crates for cover and start with the nearest enemy. You can
take out all three with your pistol. Cross the room (around the conveyer
belts) and go through the door. Go down the hall, through the double
doors, down the ramp, and make a U-turn. Crouch down behind the small
blue box and drop the nearest enemy. You can use your submachine gun to
take out the far enemy from behind the blue box. If you're out of
submachine gun ammo, you'll have to make a run for it through the
doorway to the big red container, where you can swingout and waste this
guy. Note that as soon as you reach the big red container, two new
enemies will jump off the roof of the building past the container. These
guys wear all black, and they carry knives. They will run up to you and
stab you, killing you instantly. They won't hide behind something and
wait for you to shoot. Be ready for them! Don't put your back against a
wall, just stand still behind the big red container, facing the corner
each enemy will have to turn. Have your shotgun loaded and ready, and
when the first thug in black comes around the corner, blast him-twice if
you have to. Do it again for the other thug in black. Once they're out
of the way, continue over to the building they jumped down off of, and
open the door. You've completed level two!
--->Level 23
Firstly you start out right in front of a helicopter pad, still alive.
Slowly move your way to the right side of the first crate in front of
you. Hug agaisn't it, you'll see a terrorist pacing back and forth, when
he turns around (with his back facing you) nail him with you gun handle.
Now move to the next crate and hug agaisn't it, when the terrorist turns
around, nail him with your handle also. Quickly turn around and aim your
gun at a terrorist on top of the crates making a run for it, it isn't
Terry Fox, so take him out with a couple of hits. Now sneak up the
ladder onto the top where the terrostist was making a run for it. A
video sceen will show you that there is a machien gun post inplacement
inside the back of a 18 wheeler. Quickly run all the way across with out
him hitting you, then take the ladder down to the other side of where
you started off. When you start moving another video sceen occurs, and
shows you that there is a terrorist and a machien gun post, don't waist
your time, and just run across. Once you get across to the next set of
crates, another gun placement, and a couple of terrorist wait for your
appearance, just do the same as you did before and just run across to
the next part, where another video sceen takes place. It shows a group
of four trigger happy terrorists, when video sceen is over, crouch run
to the blue crate then roll over to it. If you do it correctly, then you
should just see the bullets wisping past you head. Once you have some
cover, slowly run to the pillar closet to them and get a lock on one of
them. Hug the pillar, and spin around a take two shots at him (the two
shot rule, if you go for three they always get you). Work your way
though all of them till they're all dead. Now run for the door located
on the right side, go trough it. In this small little room pick up the
medi pack, if you need it, then open the door going inside. Run up to
the first pillar and hug agaisn't it, two terrorists will come running
up from either side. In this case you can just spin around at one, and
keep on firing at him, because the other guy won't be able to get you.
Then spin around the other side and take out the other guy. (note: this
guy usually runs to an explosive crate over near the other pillars, just
duck once he starts firing, and he'll nick the crate and kill himself).
Now move up to the next pillar and hug it, another two buddies, will
come up from either side, just take them out like you did above. Run
the rest of the way down the tunnel, and you'll meet up with a shot law
leaning agaisn't a wall. He'll force you onto the elevator, and you'll
get to watch him die with honor. Anyway once you come down, you'll get a
checkpoint, and will have to battle Gunt.
--->Bosses<---
--->Lila
First, you hug the first column your at and target the helper with the
boss. Then, pull out your shotgun and blast the helper away, it will
help to do it first. Then, run across the room verticly to the coloumn
next to the medkit. If you still have the rocket launcher, pull it out.
If not, pull out the sub machine gun. Press C-Down to Camera the boss,
and as she takes her pauses from firing, step out and shoot her. It will
take awhile, and you may need the medkits, but it's an easy way to kill
her. The rocket launcher is the easiest to use, but make sure your not
standing in front of a wall or it will reduce your health to red or
death. If you follow these steps and common sense, you should have
beaten that ugly hag, Lila.
--->Sargent Thunder
Sargent Thunder has his self a big ole FlameThrower, uhoh! And there
are 3 enemies surrounding, uh oh! When I beat Thunder I ignored those
badguys up there, and for the most part it works. But Sargent Thunder
shoots his flamethrower in a certain way. Try to keep Thunder from
shooting his flamethrower by hitting him constantly, I just thought of
this, but maybe if you had a C-4 Explosive you could take care of him?
Also if hes by a box, shoot the box it will hurt his health severlely.
So basically its trial and error with this guy.
--->Dan
You start off right in the line of his fire so immediately duck.and
press c-down to lock and pop up and fire he will duck but continue to
fire at the cans. If you dont blow up the cans quit and restart. Next he
will run to your left,stay were you are,so you dont turn on the
lazers.RELOAD. Again fire at him, when he ducks keep firing to blow up
the cans.If you don't blow up the cans Quit and restart the process.
Now he will run all the way to the boxes on the far right. Pull out your
Machine gun. and pre aim at the barrels next to him and blow them up If
you dont blow them up restart. Now run to where the midipack on the
right is and whip out the shotty. Shoot Dan in the Face until he
dies.you will probably have no health left when you kill him. Now a
little movie comes on but you are not done. You start off below Cecil so
immediately run to the medipack on the left pick it up and run up the
ramp. Now it gets extremely difficult. Avoiding the lasers by ducking
walk up the ramp and try to kinda pre aim before popping up to shoot the
little box thing for the lazer. then run to the stationary gun to
shoot Cecil to death.
--->Jin
You start off on the opposite side of the generator as Jin. Shoot him
the second he comes around the corner then run to the other side of the
same generator(to keep track of him), because he blows up or shoots out
fire or some wierd thing to kill you. just keep him coming, after you
and shoot and run. It will not take long to kill him and he wont kill
you fast by him shooting you.
--->Duke
You start off right behind a bunch of explosive boxes so run to the
right immediately. Lure his bullets to the gas can by the pillar by
staying be hind it ata good distance. Once he blows up the can hide be
hind the pillar. Use the back to the wall and pop out technique to shoot
him if you have a shot gun use it. after he is about 3 quarters the way
dead run back to the starting point the boxes should be blown up
already,do not try to shoot him on the way or he goes crazy and doesnt
pause shooting he just spreads lead everywere.once you are behind the
pillar use the pop out technique to shoot him again. Now he will go
crazy and shoot all over the place from right to left once he is
firing towards the right hand of the screen pop out and cap him good. If
you have a shot gun do this a couple more times and you will kill him.
If not run toward the frontleft side and hide behind that pillar after
he blows up the explosives. Pop out when he is firing toward the
opposite side of the screen, he should die be fore you have to run again
but if not run toward the right and hide behind that pillar and do the
same as all the other pillars.
--->Gunt
You start off in the middle of a room. immediately run right avoiding
his rockets (try to stay a little ways from the wall or the rockets will
explode and kill you. then shoot him and run righ up next to him,shoot
him again, run to the other side of him and shoot him. Reapeat this
proces as close as possible to him.If you do this all right you can beat
him without getting hurt.Try to use the shot gun since it takes off the
most damage.
