Newbies
- It will be confusing at first. It will prolly take you 30 - 60 minutes
to get your feet wet/feel somewhat comfortable.
- R1 is your favorite button. It is the default fire for everything. (solder, tank, warhawk, etc..)
- The Square button is your 2nd favorite. It is the "Action" button, and what you use to climb a ladder, get in/out of a tank/jeep/warhawk, etc..
- You always start with a Pistol with unlimited ammo and a Knife.
- Don't leave home w/out at least a Rifle Pickup (gun looking pickup with dark blue outline) and another set of Grenades (canister looking pickup with the green outline). The Portable Missile Pickup (long pickup with an orange outline) makes a great anti-warhawk and anti-tank weapon.
- Stay out of the warhawks. = ) You will most likely be killed by another
warhawk or some anti-aircraft turret. Enter at your own risk/frustration.
- Get your feet wet in an anti-aircraft turret or a tank.
- There are 2 types of turrets: Anti-Aircraft and Homing Missile.
- Both turrets have their reticule turn red with an enemy aircraft is in range.
- The Anti-Aircraft turret shoots flak out rapidly, and can shoot about 25 times before needing to reload. This weapon is also great for killing enemies near by on foot.
- The Homing Missile shoots two missiles at once and then needs to reload. Hold down R1 once an enemy is in range to get a lock (takes approx 3 secs), then release it to fire the missiles.
- On foot you can take out a tank with the Flame Thrower or a few Portable Missiles.
- On foot you can take out warhawks with a few Portable Missiles. Nothing scares a warhawk trying to shoot you like you launching a missile towards it. :)
- When engaged in a 1 on 1 battle solder to solder, while firing your gun, throw Grenades at him him using L1. (Having an extra 2 grenades is really handy here. :)
- If they are not up close, the Rifle may be your best bet.
for killing them. (get to the rifle by pressing Right on the d-pad)
- If they are within like 10 feet, the Flame Thrower is awesome for killing them quickly. (get to the Flame Thrower by pressing Up and Left on the d-pad)
- If they are right next to you, you can kill them with one hit using your Knife. (get to the Knife by pressing Down on the d-pad)
- The Pistol can fire as fast as you can press it and has unlimited ammo! (get to the Pistol by pressing Left on the d-pad)
