  • General Gameplay Tips

    1. There is a trick for reloading without having to endure the blurry vision effect. Just hit reload, the melee button and reload again. It adds time to the reloading process, but allows Keller to clearly view the battlefield.
    2. The game uses an unlimited re-spawn system that pays attention to player position. Pushing Keller forward into a new area halts the spawn point from working. Running forward also pushes Keller's squad forward.
    3. Use members of the squad to shield Keller in an intense firefight. They cannot be killed and choose excellent strategic positions near cover.
    4. There are five types of secondary objectives: Armament, Blackmail, Intel and Recon and Destruction. Armament objectives are always weapons and only need to be picked up. Blackmail objectives always have to be destroyed. They appear as safes, laptops and lock boxes.
    5. Intel objectives are picked up automatically when Keller is in the vicinity. They appear as red folders, rolled up blueprints and white metal cases. Recon objectives are also automatically picked up. They appear as blueprints or small cases.
    6. Destruction objectives are only available on the Black Ops mode of difficulty. Keller has to locate and shoot every destructible item in a level.
    7. Look around the landscape for large versions of the health kit when playing on easy or normal difficulty. Three of these can be taken into reserve for later use. Simply hit down on the D-Pad to use a health kit.

    1. If Keller happens to die, reloading to the last checkpoint requires all secondary objectives to be picked up again.
    2. Finishing the game on normal difficulty awards silver weapons with unlimited ammo on hard difficulty. Finishing on hard mode awards unlimited ammo and unlocks Black Ops mode. Finishing all the objectives in Black Ops mode awards the M16 assault rifle for use in any level.
    3. Sound suppressors aren't useful unless the enemy dies before firing a shot back at you. The sound of enemy fire alerts other soldiers in the area immediately. Aim for one shot kills to the head and the silencer works wonders.
    4. Burst or single shots are more effective at long range than automatic fire. The weapon recoil naturally moves the aim up. Target the upper chest to hit the head with the second bullet in burst mode.
    5. Try to keep a short range secondary weapon in reserve at all times. Keeping a shotgun handy is the fastest way to deal with a charging soldier.
    6. Grenades can be shot in midair to cause an earlier explosion. Throw grenades behind shielded characters and shoot them to for a quick explosive kill.
    7. Elevated positions work well against shielded enemies as well. Wait for a shielded enemy to approach and fire rounds in the head from above.
    8. Armored shotgun soldiers fall down after taking enough damage. Follow up with a shotgun blast to the face while they attempt to get back on their feet.
