Yet another James Bond game, with new gadgets and weapons, even some old.
NightFire is one of the best of the available Bond games. It has the best
AI Bot capabilities of any other Bond game, and tons more MP options. Plus,
you finally get to drive a "Fully Loaded" Bond car. Though i think EA went
overboard with the cars. There are a bit too many "Chase scene / Arcade" levels
where you're chasing something in a car, or stuck in one place with a turret
that you are supposed to kill enemies with.
But all-in-all, the upsides of the game overcome the bad, making it an
excellent game to buy.
I decided i'd make a FAQ on the MP mode for NightFire because alot of people
who are Next-Gen gamers and like FPS's, are going to get NightFire. Without
ever playing Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, or any other old FPS game, one could be
left harmless to an experienced gamer in a MP scenario. This FAQ will help you
to learn how to become a skilled player.
Alot of people get FPS's for their excellent Multi-Player replay value, and
often times it takes a really long time for a person to get suited and be a
profficient killing-machine. You will develop your own styles as you learn
your way around the levels and weapons, but I will provide tons of excellent
strategies for all MP purposes. Again, if there is anything you'd like added or
corrected, e-mail me and i shall do so.

/ \
| <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< II - Game Modes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
\_____________________________________________________________________________/
Quick Game ------------ This is the setting just for a basic game that you
don't have to spend alot of time setting up. The game
rules are as follows:
Mode: Arena
Human player 1 - Bond
Human player 2 - Snow Guard
Human player 3 - Black Ops
Human Player 4 - Yakuza
AI Bots - Drake
Rook
Kiko
Weapon set - Normal
Arena - Random
Mini-Vehicles - Helicopters
Limits: Score - 10
Time - 10
Arena ----------------- This arena is a Free-for-All, where you can set up any
number of AI Bots and Human Players. Kill your enemies
and avoid death to get your score. All options can be
modified to add explosive scenery, mini-vehicles, etc.
Team Arena ------------ Simply a regular Arena, with teams.
MI6 (blue) vs. Phoenix (red). Your character's side
must match your team's side. You couldn't play as Rook
on the MI6 team. Each player's kills and deaths total
to get a team score.
Capture the Flag ------ Sneak into your opponent's base and capture their flag.
Bring it back to your flag to gain points. While you
are getting your opponent's flag, they may be getting
yours as well, so be careful. You do not have to have
your flag at your base to earn points, simply walk over
the flag pedestal to get your points. Characters must
be of opposite teams; Bond vs. Drake for instance.
Uplink ---------------- Three Satellite dishes are strewn about the level. Walk
into one to activate it and claim it as your satellite.
As long as that satellite is still yours, it will
constantly add points to your score. You may take
a sattelite claimed by the other team; simply walk into
it to claim it as your own. The more satellites you
have, the more points you obtain.
Top Agent ------------- Endurance. Each player has 10 lives. Once you run out
of lives, you are out of the game. The last agent
remaining wins.
Demolition ------------ There is a designated target - a satellite, that the
Phoenix side must protect from MI6. The MI6 side uses
satchel charges that they start out with to destroy the
satellite. That is the only way one can destroy the
target. MI6 gets points for destroying the satellite,
Phoenix gets points for protecting their satellite
during the entirety of the round.
Protection ------------ Same as Demolition, only Phoenix attacks an MI6 target.
Industrial Espionage -- Both teams have their own computer set, which is at
their base. There is one CD lying randomly on the
ground. To earn points, get the CD and bring it back
to your base. IT's just like "Capture the Flag", only
with one target.
GoldenEye Strike ------ Taken from the James Bond Movie "GoldenEye", the point
of this mode is to obtain the GoldenEye Key, and
Crystal. With both, you activate the GoldenEye
satellite, which then shoots this really cheap-looking
laser beam at your opponent for an instant kill. You
only obtain points from killing an opponent with
the GoldenEye.
Assassination --------- One player is the Assassin, the other is the target.
Any other players are are on the target's side. You
will know you are the target if above your health meter
there is a green sniper rifle displayed. Same with the
target, only a green crosshair will be displayed. Get 5
points for killing the target, and 3 points for killing
the Assasin. Whoever kills the assasin then becomes the
assasin. The target is randomly chosen between the
other players.
King of the Hill ------ A blue light shines up from the ground in a circle
making that the "Hill". Stay inside the circle to
obtain points, and to win.
Team King of the Hill - Same as the regular, only with teams. All players add
to their team's score.

\_____________________________________________________________________________/
Game Rules ++
Duration ----------------- Time limit, how long until the game is ended.
Points ------------------- Number of points needed to win.
Player Mods +++++
Friendly Fire ------------ With this on, you can do damage to your
teammates. With it off, your teammates cannot
be harmed by you.
Weapon set --------------- Selection of guns used . See the "Weapon Sets"
section for a complete list of weapons in each
set.
Professional mode -------- Try this for a challenge: Damage is more
realistic; bullets do more damage. On top
of that, you can only carry 2 weapons, a large
and a small weapon.
Hit location ------------- This means that damage will be worth more in
different places of the body; hitting someone
in the chest will do twice as much damage
as hitting them in the leg.
Team ID ------------------ This is tottaly cheap; it shows this big
red/blue sign above the player's head that
shows their name. It's cheap because you can
locate your enemy from 300 game-feet away,
but they can also find you.
Enviro mods +++++
Respawn ------------------ You can set where you will respawn, in relation
to your enemy with this. Choose to respawn near
far, or randomly placed from your enemy.
Fixed Gun Emplacements --- This allows turrets that can swivel around to
be used. They are fixed in their position,
and cannot be relocated.
Explosive Scenery -------- This turns the barrels with fuel on, so that
you can shoot them in multi-player while your
enemy is near to create a large explosion.
Grapple ------------------ This adds the grapple hook to your gagdet
inventory. There are several grapple spots
located around levels, which you will then be
able to access. These usually are only speedy
ways to get to places that would normally take
alot longer.
Mini-Vehicles ------------ Turns Tanks and Helicoptors on. See the
"Mini-Vehicles" section for information.
_____________________________________________________________________________
/ \
| <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< IV - Levels >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
\_____________________________________________________________________________/
Skyrail --------- This is one of the most open levels in the game. It's got the
two "bases", and a few little canyons of the side and several
rocks in the middle. It comes included with skyrail carts
that move from one base to the other. This map is great for
just about any mode of combat you would like, but best for
"Capture the Flag" and "Industrial Espionage".
Fort Knox ------- This level is rather closed; not much you can do with
movement. It's hard to use helicopters in this level, as
the many lights and hanging fixtures obscure movement. The
tank works well here because the leves are joined by ramps,
rather than by stairs. This is a decent level, good for
sniping with all the elevation.
Snow Blind ------ Look familliar? Part of the level from "The Exchange". This
snowy arena has many good spots for some firefights, down in
alleys, up on balconies, and on flat land. The level is
darker than the rest, so you'll have to use your goggles to
see opponents in the distance (provided you aren't using
"team ID"). This level is best for "Demolition/Protection",
and "Industrial Espionage".
Phoenix Base ---- This is another BIG arena. BIG in the means of open-space.
This level is one of the few i'd dare take huge quantities of
explosives with me. This level is a part taken right out of
"Countdown".
Atlantis -------- This level is half-open, half-closed. It uses alot of ramps,
so the Tank can get around alot more than in other levels.
A good level for "King of the Hill" and explosive fun.
Missile Silo ---- A really tall level, good for Guided-Missiles. Helicopters
and tanks are useful here, as the tanks can get from level
to level up the ramps. Good for "Arena", "King of the Hill",
and "Uplink".
Sub Pen --------- Good for "Capture the Flag", "Industrial Espionage",
"Top Agent", and "GoldenEye Strike". This level is rather big
housing two submarine-docking bays. You can go in the subs
and do a bunch of nifty stunts in this level to get an
advantage over your enemy. Really good for explosives, and
not too good with vehicles, as they cannot get from one
room to another.
Ravine ---------- Look Familliar? Again? This is another part from
"The Exchange". The only major down-side to this level, is
that you cannot use AI bots. So, if you're a "play-alone"
person like me, you won't see much of this level. Also, this
level doesn't permit the use of Mini-Vehicles. A good level
for "Industrial Espionage", "Goldeneye Strike", "Protection",
"Demolition", and "Arena". All-in-All a well-rounded level.

Random - Do I have to say anything about this? It's all random.
_____________________________________________________________________________
/ \
| <<<<<<<<<< VI - Bot personality/Stat Analysis >>>>>>>>>> |
\_____________________________________________________________________________/
Personalities - You can set "Personalities" to AI Bots, which is their strategy
for playing the game. They are different between MI6 and
Phoenix, but generally the same.
MI6 Personalities -
Judge - This personality is the kind that likes to make the game
even. A bot like this will go for the player with the
highest score to try to make it easier for lower-scoring
players to do well.
Guardian - A bot that is a guardian will stay near other players of
their team and protect them from enemy fire. This type is
really only good in Team Modes, because, they don't have
anyone else to protect but themselves in Free-for-All's.
Team Player - Team Players go for whatever the goal is. If it's GoldenEye
Strike, they'll go for the crystal and key. They go for the
game objectives, making the team's overall score high.
Collector - A collector goes for guns and armor on the floor. They
concentrate on pickups, rather than on killing. Not really
useful, unless you want to keep your enemy from getting
a certain weapon.
Phoenix Personalities -
Vengeful - A Vengeful Bot will be true to the word "vengeance" and
kill the person or bot that killed it last.
Greedy - A greedy Bot has the same characteristics of a collector
bot, picking up items rather than killing things.
Berserker - A Berserker will ALWAYS attack the nearest opponent, no
matter how strong or weak. They tend to ignore pickups
and body armor, but concentrate solely on killing.
Assassin - An Assassin will only attack players whom are weaker
then themselves. They could have lower health, or a weaker
gun. But the assassin stays away from stronger enemies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statistics - For some AI Bots, you can set up their stats, to make them "hard"
or "easy" opponents. Some bots, however, have locked stats, which
means you cannot altar them, so they will forever be "hard" or
"easy".
Moving speed - This affects how fast they move.
Slow - They will move at a "walking" pace.
Normal - They will move at a "jogging" pace.
Fast - They will move at a "running" pace.
Aggression - This modifies how eager they are to kill. Basically, this is the
simplest way to set an opponent's difficulty.
Normal - Will only mildly care about killing people.
High - Will kill more than often and engage in combat.
Very High - Will ALWAYS be on the prowl to kill people.
Accuracy - This will determine how often their shots will make impact with
their target. Yet another good setting to set difficulty. With
higher accuracy, comes more damage to their targets.
Poor - Hit rate of about 26%
Average - Hit rate of about 41%
Good - Hit rate of about 65%
Very Good - Hit rate of about 82%
Health - This is just how much damage they can withstand. A high Health setting
means more work for you, and more time they have to hurt you. Low
health means less work for you, and you can cap them off in one or two
shots.
Damage - 50 to 300 range
Reaction - Reaction marks how fast they'll be able to notice that someone is
attacking them and respond with their own bullets. With a high
reaction time, the bot will more-than-likely hit you before you
even begin your attack, making it harder to suprise them. A bot with
a low reaction will take a while for them to return fire, so you can
take off about half their health (depending on what you set it at),
before they even notice you've hit them.
Recovery - This means they will be able to sustain more damage, without
actually taking damage. Say you do 50 damage with a Samurai. If they
have a high recovery, this may only do about 35 damage to their
health. With low recovery, normal damage will do more than normal,
making it easier to kill the AI Bot.

she turned traiterous and helped Bond defeat Goldfinger's plans
to steal all the gold from Fort Knox.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+++++ Phoenix Skins +++++

(Suit) discovered, he was secretly stockpiling them to use in his
"Operation Nightfire". I'm going to stop here as not to ruin any
of the plot.
Armitage Rook - Drake's Elite Bodyguard. During Bond's infiltration into
Drake's Austrian base, Rook got his face mangled when Bond
sent him crashing into a rail car. Remembering this, Rook
vowed to one day kill Bond.
Makiko Hayashi - Best known as "Kiko"; The Elegeant bodyguard who deceived Bond
in an attempt to stop him from finding out too much about

Renard - From "The World is Not Enough", got a bullet lodged in his brain,
which makes him invulnerable to feel pain. This "dead" man, would
keep getting stronger and stronger until the day he died. Attempted to
bomb the world with a nuclear submarine to set Elektra King up to be
a successfull business lord with her father's oil company.
Scaramanga - The Man with the Golden gun, came about in, *drum roll*...........

cheapest advantage: "Oddjob's hat". It's in your inventory, and is a
one hit KO. It is highly accurate, even at long ranges, and it keeps
returning to your inventory. But, he is shorter than most, making him
vulnerable to easy head shots.
Nick Nack - Scaramanga's henchman. This midgit arrived in "The Man with the
Golden Gun" as the short but deadly side-kick to Scaramanga. This
guy is really short. I mean really short. He's hard to hit in MP,
and really fast.
Max Zorin - Formed KGB agent bent on world domination. First arrived in
"A View to a Kill".
_____________________________________________________________________________

| <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< IX - Mini-Vehicles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
\_____________________________________________________________________________/
The Mini-Vehicles are another new thing to the Bond games. These
remote-controlled machines are quite useful for attacking opponents,
from the other side of a level. You can use a Tank and a Helicopter. Both are
a little hard to get used to control-wise in the beginning, but after a while,
it should become quite simple. On the Enviro-Mods, you can set the vehicles to
all tanks, all helicopters, random (both), and none.
Mini-Vehicles have their advantages, and their disadvantages. For one, they
have unlimited ammo with their mini guns. Though, they do overheat. Once the
number on the lower right hand corner gets to 100, it must get back to 0 before
you can shoot again. It's best advised to fire with burst, or go for head shots
so you don't overheat too soon. Vehicles, will not deal any damage to you if
they are shot, they will simply explode in their area. You can get alot of
Time out of one Vehicle, as they are small targets and are difficult to hit.
On the downside, they are remotely-controlled, so your body is left vulnerable
to attack. You cannot defend yourself while you are controlling a vehicle,
unless you use the vehicle itself (which is not a good idea, because you could
hit yourslef). It is not good to use Mini-Vehicles against large sums of
opponents when you cannot keep track of them all. The best time to use a
vehicle is when you have a friend around to guard your body from on-comming
attacks.
In some modes, such as "Demolition/Protection", where the time restarts, if you
had a helicopter or tank in remote-control, the sound may still play in the
background. This can be really annoying with a helicopter, because the copter
makes a really loud noise, whereas the tank is a quiet "hum". So make sure to
detonate your vehicles before the time restarts to avoid annoying sounds.
Tank - This vehicle is land-based, so it's generally slower, and takes a while
to get around obstacles such as rocks and railings. The tank cannot go
up most sets of stairs, unless they are shallow. If you are trying to
get up a set of steep stairs with a tank, you will get caught right at
the last step. Provided the there is a wide ledge along the stairs or a
wall, you can cheat your way up onto the top. Simply run into the wall,
and hopefully you'll bounce up to the top. It may take a couple of
tries, but it does work.
The controls for a Tank are really messed up IMO, because you use the
joystick to move forward and back (up and down on the joystick), and
the C-stick to move left and right (left and right). Using the Left
and right directions on the Joystick will move the turret, so you're
camera will face away from "forward". This may be a good thing at some
point, but when you need to move, you press forward and can't see where
you're going, which can be a hassle. If it were me, i'd have the
c-stick move the turret, and the joystick move the body.
CONTROL - "R" fires the mini gun, "B" fires armor-piercing
shells, "A" detonates the vehicle. "C-stick" moves
the tank body left and right, and the turret up
and down. "Joystick" moves the tank body forward
and back, and the turret left and right.
ADVANTAGES - The Tank, like the helicopter is small, and is hard to hit,
so you can get alot of time from one tank. Again, as with
the helicopter, it has an unlimited supply of bullets. A
tank has 10 armor piercing shells, which can be fired at an
arch by pressing the "B" button. The Tank will not explode
if it runs into a wall or obstacle, it will wimply bounce
right off, so that you can keep going. By pressing "A", the
tank will self-destruct and can kill your enemies if you
want to return to your body and kill some people at the
same time.
DISADVANTAGES - The armor piercing shells are arched, so their range is
not too great. They are land-based, which means they're
going to be slower and would have to take the long way
around to a certain spot. Also, the turret can only aim
up so high, so targets who are several feet higher
than you will not be shoot-able. The controls are a
little confusing, and the tank cannot strafe.
Helicopter - The helicopter is Aerial, and therefore can move much faster, and
can avoid obstacles by simply flying over them. Though, it will
blow up if it touches anything. It is much more manuverable, since
it can go anywhere it wants (but the floor, or a wall). It is best
advised to only fly in out-door locations, as in-doors there are
more obstacles, and it is harder to control. As with the tank,
it has infinite ammo, until it overheats.
The helicopter can strafe, unlike the tank, but there is no button
to make it go straight up or down. You'd have to use the c-stick
to aim the helicopter up, and then press "forward" on the joystick
to head upwards. A little confusing at first but it gets to be no
biggie after enough practice.
CONTROL - "R" to fire the mini gun, "B" to fire Stinger-missiles,
"A" to detonate the helicopter. "C-stick" strafes the copter
left and right, and aims it up and down. "Joystick" moves the
copter forward and back, and turns left and right. "C-stick"
up/down, and "joystick" forward/back will move the copter
vertically up and down.
ADVANTAGES - The helicopter can fly which makes is faster and an even
harder target for an opponent to hit. It's aerial, so head
shots are easier to hit. The stinger-missiles are slightly
heat-seeking; they well move to follow a target to some
extent, not too dramatically though. The helicopter can
strafe, which makes it easier to move and dodge attacks,
and fight back at the same time. Also, it does not have to
worry about bouncing up stairs to get somewhere.
DISADVANTAGES - If ever it collides with anything, it instantly blows
up; making it not good for battle in tight locations,
such as inside a sub, or in a house. It only has 5
special weapons, compared to the tank's 10, so it must
rely on the mini gun more often, which is much weaker.
The sound is rediculously loud, which drowns out
gunfire and music.

This is probably the section the most of you are going to read, as it's the
part that isn't all "operating the MP" and information stuff. Anyways, below
are strategies I have thought of, or other people have, for weapons, levels,
and just general stuff. For the most part, i'm sure you guys all know the
weapons unless you're just starting and haven't used them in the solo-levels.
Either way, there'll be a section on utalizing the weapons' secret abilities
and best ways to use various weapons.
This is the section that will teach you to become a superior killer. I'm sure
you'll adapt your own style from the various displayed, or even find your own
type. Either way, i hope this helps in some way.
If you have any tips you'd like to add, or strategies, e-mail them to me, and
I will add them to the section they belong in. If you know of a fighting style
that is not mentioned on the FAQ, e-mail it in with a short description, which
and I shall add to the FAQ. If you submit anything that I put in the FAQ,
you will of course be mentioned in the credits.

| <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< X.A General Strategies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
\_____________________________________________________________________________/
This section, is simply for things that aren't big enough to have a category.
Basically, the general "TIP" section with a few really big things.
--------------
Speed Strafing - For those of you who are old-time gamers, you'll know
what this is, but for those who don't, here's how it
works. It's a combination of using the control stick
and the c-stick to move in slightly different angles.
Moving in these angles has it's advantages, but the
main one, in speed. By pressing forward on the joystick
and left on the C-stick, you'll be able to run
diagonally to the left, while still look forward.
To be true to "speed strafing", you must angle yourself
45-degrees to the side of the direction you want to go.
Then, press forward on the joystick, and the c-stick
should go the opposite side you angled yourself. If you
angled yourself 45-degrees to the left, press right on
the c-stick. Then, you should be moving the way you
want to go, while looking off to the side. This moves
you much faster. If you begin to stray off course, use
the control stick to direct yourself back.
There is alot to do with strafing and such, just mess
around and find a bunch of useful variations.
Circling - A technique that varies off of speed strafing, this is
used to circle your opponent, and fire at the same
time. In doing this, you can be moving, which makes you
a harder target, and still shoot at your enemy. To do
so, push "C" to the left, and thej oystick, slightly to
the right (do not push it all the way, otherwise you'll
just spin in a circle where you are standing). Then you
should be moving in a circle.
To move faster, push the joystick further forward.
This will require you to move the joystick around more
to keep you on-course, but it is much faster and you'll
be a harder target.
Fixed Guns - These are pretty cool, because they shoot rockets, and
they have an unlimited supply. These can be useful for
putting your opponent on a run, and mass destruction.
These are a little worse than any other weapon, due to
the fact that they are stuck in their place, and
leaves you vulnerable to attack from behind. However,
they have unlimited ammunition, which is always a plus.
While you're using this, you're a sitting duck to a
sniper if they find you first, so only use these
if you know exactly where your enemy is. Most people
won't mess with you if you have one and they have
close-range weapons. You'd tear them up. So keep in
mind alot of people will hide in safe spots until
you've given up.
Use these primarily against moving targets; if they're
in a safe spot, they're not going to do anything until
you stop. Do not stay at one for too long, your enemy
may get a sentinel and send a guided rocket to get you,
or get a good sniping spot to get you away from the
turret.
Fixed guns are varried, it's all random in what gun
one will be. There are several, such as a gatling gun,
laser beam, laser overcharge shot, rocket launcher,
grenade launcher, and so on. Most of these (except for
the explosives) are best in close-ranges, and not for
firing all the way across the level, because they are
innacurate.
- Use the "strafe" alot, you'll find it helps so dodge bullets, and still keep
yourself aimed at your target.
- Play solo missions to unlock game modes and options.
- Play solo missions to get weapon upgrades.
- If you are using "explosive scenery", keep an eye on barrels. You can shoot
one while your enemy is standing next to one and blow him to smitherines. But
watch out, as you can do that to him, he can do that to you.
- In "grapple mode", use the grapples. You'll find they take you to places with
good weapons, and/or to another location a much faster way.
- Use "jump" and "duck" to dodge bullets.
- With auto-aim off, the corsshairs will stay at head/neck level, rather than
targetting their chest, so head shots are easier to hit.
- Without auto-aim, a nice tip for headshots: aim slightly down, and jump. You
should be aimed at their head, and they have to adjust their own sight to hit
you. By the time they've done that, they've already been killed by a head
shot.
- Do not use a silencer in MP; it weakens the gun power. Stealth is pretty
useless in MP, as your opponent can use radar to find you. Even without it,
they'd still hear the (silenced) gunshot. So it's just a waste of power to
use a silencer.
- Know the locations of the best weapons and body armor on any given level
for each weapon set. That way, you can head for those locations and have a
weapon to start winning with.
- Be careful when running through the open areas of a level unless you want to
get eaten alive by snipers. Snipers love the smell of wanderings targets and
will shoot you on sight of you are one of them.
- Don't be afraid to be a coward. If you are getting whipped pretty badly and
you only have a pistol or another weak weapon and a few rounds, don't fight,
turn around and run away. Your friends may gawk and call you a coward but
they won't be laughing when you come back fully armored and with an AIMS-20.
- There is always the right weapon for any occasion. You aren't going to go
into a huge firefight with a sniper rifle, 'nor are you going try and snipe
with an Automatic Shotgun. Neither can be done and gotten away with.
- Some weapons are one-hit-kills, like a sniper rifle, golden gun, oddjob's hat
and more. So watch out.
- Some skins have height differences, like Oddjob, Nick Nack, and JAWS. At gun
level, oddjob's head is level, so he can easily be taken out with a head
shot. Nick Nack is a midgit, so you're going to have to aim down to hit him.
JAWS is huge, and you'd hit him in the stomach at gun level, so aim up to hit
him in vulnerable areas.
- Try "Professional mode" for a real challenge.
- Falling from really high places will take damage from your health, regardless
of body armor.
- The grapple hook has an amazingly long range; it can reach from nearly the
other side of the level in "Ravine".

| <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< X.B - Fighting Styles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
\_____________________________________________________________________________/
This section provides the basics on combat fighting styles and techniques. This
will show the most common fighting personalities used by humans, with
advantages and disadvantages, and random other tactics that would help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camper - A camper, is a person who gets the cheasiest gun in the game
for instance, a Phoenix samurai, and goes to a dead-end and
waits for the enemy to show up with the weapon aimed right
where their head would be to kill them instantly. This type
of fighting style takes no risks, and can often be quite
boring, as your opponent will wait for you to drop your guard
before attacking. If you were to be a camper, you'd have to
make sure you camped at a dead-end that supplies ammo for the
gun you are choosing to use, so you can just stay put there
and not have to leave your spot.
A good weapon to choose is the AIMS-20, as it has its
body-heat sensors that can clearly alert you when your
enemy has entered your area. Also, the Phoenix Samurai, so
you won't have to camp at a not-so-good spot just for the
ammo, you could camp and a dead-end with only one entrance.
You might also use remote mines, or laser trip wires at the
entrance, which would blow them up if they came one way, and
use another weapon to kill them from another point (just make
sure you can get your detonator out quick enough in case they
jump or duck under your trip wire. A Phoenix Ronin would also
be a nice thing to have placed right outside the entrance, so
they get torn up on the way in (if they can get in) making
them easy prey for you to kill. If you have good aim, a
golden gun would be nice, so that you can pick them off in
one easy shot either way.
A good spot to camp is in the skyrail stations in the level
"Skyrail". It's a fairly closed area, where you can keep an
eye on the one door in there. Another good spot, is under the
stairs in the "Ravine" level, as your opponent must either
come down the stairs, or enter the door to get you; both are
easy enough to guard at the same time. An awesome spot, is on
"Sub Pen" inside a submarine. 2 ways in, and if you run out
of options, you can ride the lift up to the top and escape.
Some levels like "Missile Silo" are pathetic camping spots,
so don't try to there. Look for any dead-ends that would work
well, and particularly one with good ammo. Otherwise, you'd
have to keep leaving to stock up, which could be dangerous.
Some spots are only good if the "Grapple" feature is off, so
that you can hide in one spot and only worry about the one
door, without worry of the side entrance. An example of this
is on the "Ravine" level, all the way up the stairs into the
large circular room which stores each side's major equipment.
In here, you are supplied with body armor, and ammo for 3
weapons, making it an ideal camping spot. But with grapple
hooks on, you enemy could suprise you by entering through
the side entrance.
ADVANTAGES - Camping is rather simple, and doesn't require too much
experience to do, so just about anyone can be a camper.
If you've chosen a good spot, you should only have to
worry about people comming in through the one door, and
not need any ammo, because all you need respawns under
your feet. There's not much anyone can do against a
camper; provided the weapons are set right.
DISADVANTAGES - There are ways your opponent could get you out of that
spot; using a guided rocket, or throwing a grenade in
by ricocheting it against an adjacent wall. There are
plenty of ways of killing a camper, but most are
extremely difficult, except for a select few. They
could barrel in with a shield and an automatic full on
ammo and just pound you with bullets until you have to
reload, but this doesn't often work, as their health
will go down really fast. Mini-Vehicles, grenades, and
guided rockets would be the most used against you. This
method is considered to be the cheapest way to kill, so
quite often your friends will dispise you for your
style.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sniper - A sniper, is a person who gets a sniper rifle, or a weapon
with a large zoom, and camps at a high altitude spot, and
picks the enemy off before they can get near enough to fight
back. A sniper, is similar to a camper, only a little safer
in the fact that it takes a while before the opponent can get
close enough to hurt you, or a safe spot to snipe you from.
But by the time they are in a position as so, you've already
dealt enough damage to easily eliminate them without a fight.
Again, a sniper rifle, Phoenix Samurai, AIMS-20, Sentinel,
and a few others are good for this. The Samurai does not
require bullets, so it is yet again an excellent weapon to
choose. The AIMS-20 is burst fire, which means it won't be
too accuracte, but the body-heat sensors will help to target
your opponent from long distances. The sentinel is great for
wreaking havoc on you're opponent, as they see a missile come
right at them. It's quite useful on the guided missile, as
you can manuver it inside buildings slightly. The Auto
function on it should only be used it you have a hard time
operating the guided missile. Use the auto to fire 2-3
rockets off at once, so that the explosion surrounding them
will do some damage.
Some good spots to snipe people are in the Gandola posts in
"Skyrail". Because "Skyrail" is such a big level, there are
several places; in the balcony by the rail car stop, on the
roofs, etc. The roof is a good spot because you can duck down
on the other side to avoid enemy fire, just make sure you
don't fall off. If you're up to a challenge, and have good
aim, try going into a rail car and riding it around and
around shooting at enemies on the ground. In "Ravine", it's a
good level to snipe, but there aren't many good sniping
spots. It's all just open area where you'd be vulnerable
either way. But the best spot would be in the railcar stops.
Not too many other levels are good for sniping, as they do
not have many open-areas with balconies or ledges to protect
you from their bullets.
ADVANTAGES - Sniping is rather safe, as you stay at long distances
from your enemy, so that it is hard for them to get a
good shot off, unless they are a sniper too. You rarely
run out of ammo if you're a good shot; because you
can kill them with one or two bullets. So you don't
need to get too much ammo, maybe only like 20-25
bullets for a nice long period of time. Your moving
skills don't need to be all that great, because you
won't move much if you're sniping.
DISADVANTAGES - If you're a pure sniper, you'd only stock up on ammo
for the weapon you're using to kill with. So if you're
opponent ever shows up and suprises you from behind,
you aren't left with too many choices; to shoot him, or
run. Shooting at him is difficult at such close range
with a sniper rifle, but if you're using an AIMS-20,
you should be fine. Also, you are very vulnerable to
just about any type of explosive, because if you stay
still the whole time, you're an easy target for them to
get a lucky shot off while dodging your bullets. Often,
people will throw remote mines on a nearby wall, and
detonate them, to at least catch you in the fire of the
explosion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commando - A Commando, is a really daring person; they'll take on anyone
with any gun. They'd come after you even with a grenade. But,
for the most part, commandos usually stick with close-ranged
melee weapons, like a magnum, P2K, or a fast and strong
automatic. A commando is the type of battler who gets up in
their enemie's personal space, and delivers shots at really
close range so that they're more accuracte, and much more
powerful. Commando are the most common fighting style, as it
is rather simple: get a good weapon and charge. That's really
all there is to it. Just having the guts to rush in on your
enemy and give them a full clip of bullets to worry about.
Good weapons for these are weapons that are strong, and close
ranged. Something like a sniper rifle, or samurai would not
be efficient for this. Good weapons are, P2K (preferably gold
if you have unlocked that), Storm, Frinesi, Raptor Magnum,
or SG5 Commando (seeing as this says 'commando', it would
be a good choice for this fighting style). Your weapons don't
need to be all that accurate, as a storm displays. As long as
they fill the area with bullets, it'll work. It's also a good
idea to get a full set of body armor before engaging your
enemy. Because your guns will be more accurate, and more
powerful at such a close range, so will theirs. Having the
body armor will give you the edge the beat them.
This techniquie can be used in any level; as it doesn't need
a certain spot to do so. Just some guns, and en enemy. You
can do this out in the open, where you and your enemy have
plenty of room, or in an enclosed corridor, where it's a
bigger risk for both of you.
ADVANTAGES - Your accuracy doesn't need to be all that great, and
you don't need too much experience to be a commando.
Because you are at such close range with your enemy,
your weapon will be stronger, and more accurate. Yet
another great thing about being a commando, is you
don't need a "spot" to be one. You can fight anywhere,
as long as there is ground to support you. A commando
has a large variety of usable weapons, which makes it
harder to run low on ammo.
DISADVANTAGES - As well as your own weapons being accurate and powerful
your opponent's will also be better, making you very
vunlerable to heavy damage. Quite often, a style of a
commando is to not be very accurate, just holding down
the trigger and running at their enemy. This will drain
bullets very fast, so you would need to restock several
times. Your enemy could have an explosive, like an
AIMS-20 in grenade function, and blow you to bits
before you can do any real damage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fugitive - A fugitive, is a person that is big on "hit-and-runs". They
will most likely show up with a weak gun, and shoot you a few
times, and then run. When they run, they pull out a stronger
gun, and most times lead you into a trap. A fugitive may
lead you to a section with several remote mines, which they'd
detonate once they've passed, or to a place with a Phoenix
Ronin. Or, quite simply they'd lead you to a dead-end, and
blast you with a sentinel from their end. This fighting style
has alot of suprises it can deliver to it's enemy. Frequently
fugitives get killed in their second or third try, simply
because their plan backfires in some way.
A good technique would be to use a PP7 or a Kowloon for the
first hits, just to slightly weaken them, and alert them of
of your presence. Then lure them to your trap. Some good
things to use in your trap, would be to set up laser trip
bombs at a wide door, that you can hop over. Most likely
your enemy would notice and dodge as well, so it's a good
idea to follow up with another one right after. Then turn
around and blast them with an automatic.
Another good strategy is to set up a mine field of about 5 to
7 remote mines on the ground or wall, and then set up a Ronin
just past those, so your enemy will get blasted, and then
shot by 2 guns if they survive that. Or you could simply set
up remote mines all over walls of a corridor, and blow them
once you've passed. Another good idea, is to set up a Ronin
in a tight, dead end place so they have nowhere to run and
take alot of damage trying to escape.
Some key levels to do this are "Sub Pen", "Ravine", "Skyrail"
and "Snowblind". A few others are acceptable, like "Atlantis"
for their corridors. "Sub Pen" is good to trap people in the
subs, and if you are getting caught in an explosion you can
ride the lift to a safe escape. In the mean-time, your enemy
is stuck down in the sub. "Ravine" has a few good spots; like
the circular stock room on each end, and under the stairs. If
you have "grapple hook" on, another spot is the ledge that
looks into the circular room. This is only good if you're
enemy follows you with the hook, otherwise they'll take the
long way and totally skip your trap.
ADVANTAGES - Rarely will you ever participate in melee combat, so
for the most part you're safe. You don't need to get
too many bullets, as you'll be using other things for
your traps.
DISADVANTAGES - Quite often, a fugitive will kill themselves on their
own traps, because they detonated something wrong, or
didn't jump/duck at a tripwire. The only other thing,
is that you'll have to evade enemy bullet-fire while
you're leading them to the trap, which may be rather
hard to survive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kamikaze - One would either run at you with an explosive weapon, or a
grenade, and detonate it right in both of your faces. They
get a kill, but they also lose a kill because of suicide.
They are usually part of a team, taking out the best player,
or the player with the most kills so he loses all his
weapons. They can take out commandos quite easily, but with
the only gain being him losing all his weapons. They usualy
go for double kills.
As stated before, kamikazis would equip a sentinel, militek,
grenade, or AIMS-20 (grenade mode), and rush into the middle
of huge clumps of people and shoot at the ground, or detonate
a grenade on themselves. Most times, they go for groups, so
that they would get a score higher than "0". If you were to
decide to be a kamikaze, you don't require much training.
Just find clumps of opponents, or a group of people circling
each other in a fight, and simply run and blow up all of you.
ADVANTAGES - Good for a team, you can take out the good players on
the opposite team. You won't need much ammo, and don't
have to worry about body armor. You would only need one
rocket, grenade, or whatever you're using for this, as
you'd die, and could just go grab another. You can take
out commandos and campers rather easily.
DISADVANTAGES - Of course, you're setting yourself up for a quick and
gruesome death. Your plan could backfire, and only kill
yourself, leaving your enemy with still a little bit of
health, so you score drops by one. You could also kill
a teammate in the proccess, so watch out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coward - A coward, is quite simply a wuss. Usually one will hang
outside a battle between two other guys, and wait until one
dies, and then cap off the survivor. He waits until his
opponent is weakened before attacking. A coward will rarely
initiate a raw fight, meaning they won't go after someone
who just respawned. The only time one might, is if they were
right next to their enemy, and were to kill them while they
still have a weak gun. For the most part, a coward will hide
in some remote location until they know a player has been
weakened enough to be beaten.
A coward will usually get the "best" gun in the level, or,
the one with the most firepower. Of course this would vary
depending on the weapon setting you have selected. There
really isn't much else to say about a coward...
ADVANTAGES - You will rarely die because you stay away from stronger
enemies.
DISADVANTAGES - You could get caught off guard in your hiding spot,
or on the way back to one by a stronger opponent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategist - A strategist will completely ignore killing, unless it is
required to win a scenario. A strategist will most likely
be used in "capture the Flag", "Industrial Espeionage",
"King of the Hill", and "Demolition/Protection". They will
solely concentrate on the objective just for a win.
EXAMPLE: A strategist in capture the flag would go with
the starting weapon, and just run to and back from the enemy
base getting points for getting the flag.
Mostly, a strategist will be on a team, with a bunch of
other human players. A commando following them up, and a
sniper on a rooftop covering them both. The strategist will
do all the objective scoring, with the others killing the
opposition making it easy for the strategist to win his team
some points.
ADVANTAGES - One will usually win the scenario because they went
only for the objective goal.
DISADVANTAGES - Is very vulerable to damage as they usually keep the
the starting gun.

| <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< X.C - Weapon Strategies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |
\_____________________________________________________________________________/
As you know, various weapons have various capabilities and uses. This section
will show how various weapons can be used in alternate modes, and for any
particular purpose.
Wolfram P2K - The P2K is your basic pistol; accurate, mildly powerful
and silence-able. P2K's can be upgraded to "Gold P2K".
This does NOT mean it will be a golden gun with 16
bullets a clip; it simply means it will do twice the
damage of a regular P2K. The silencer can be used to
attack an unsuspecting target, but it isn't very useful
because it lowers the weapon power. P2K's should mostly
be used in head-to-head combat, if your enemy doesn't
have a shotgun, golden gun, magnum, or any other really
powerful close-ranged weapon.
PP7 - Quite simply a smaller P2K, with a lower power rating.
All things for the P2K bio carry over to the PP7.
Kowloon type 40 - The Kowloon is a Phoenix weapon set, featuring the 2
types; 40 and 80. The 40 is more powerful than a P2K or
PP7 (not gold), but has no secondary funtion. This gun
is useful for head-to-head combat as is with most other
pistols.
Kowloon type 80 - With the 80, you can be a bit more daring and try from
farther distances, and closer ranges. The type 80 has
a three-round-burst fire, like a semi-automatic. You
can use this weapon against other full automatics, and
even a shotgun, but this gun goes through bullets fast,
so be sure to have alot of ammo. Suprisingly, this is
one of 3-4 full automatics in the game.
Raptor Magnum - A semi-automatic magnum = a very deadly weapon. You can
use this at much farther distances than any other
pistol, because the weapon accuracy is 100% (this does
not mean you will hit every time, simply that the gun
will not scatter bullets, but place them exactly where
your crosshairs are). This weapon can take out an enemy
in 2-3 hits, but it is slow-firing. It's secondary
function activates the 100% accuracy, but greatly slows
the ROF down.
Golden Gun - This weapon, is a one-hit-KO weapon, adapted from
"The Man with the Golden Gun". It only has a magazine
of one bullet, so you have to reload after each shot.
This gun isn't advised to be used in fire-fights, but
against pesky snipers, campers, and sneak attacks. For
some reason, it's labled an MI6 weapon, when the owner
is on the Phoenix side, so i don't know about that.
SG5 Commando - This is one of the few, full-sutomatics in the game.
The others are all burst fire, or semis. This gun has a
slight zoom, not enough to snipe with (it's not too
accurate anyways). Very good to use in fire-fights and
in head-to-head combat.
Storm M32 - Yet another of the full-automatics in the game. This
has 32 bullets, but they go down pretty fast. You can
deal alot of damage to someone, but it usually takes
more than one clip. Useful for raiding a base where you
can fire off several bullets while still moving.
Deutsche M9K - A silenced, burst-fire automatic - an excellent choice
for sneaking up on snipers. If your enemy isn't using
radar, it will be hard for them to locate you. Not too
good for fire-fights, as it is burst-fire.
Pheonix Ronin - This is a tricky gun - it looks like a briefcase, and
is placed in the "gadgets" section of your inventory.
Once deployed, the Ronin will open up to be an auto-gun
that will shoot at ANY moving person. Mind you, it will
shoot at you, but provided you have "friendly fire" off
it won't hurt. Ronins have limited bullets, so do not
stand in front of it if you want it to be sufficient in
killing. By "activating" it with your handheld device
