The boards kept going away, so I decided to make a permanent home for all of the various scenarios in an FAQ. It includes a plethora of scenarios, both my own and contributed by others. It also includes a section of reference information about the various option that are available for your perusal in the combat simulator. Enjoy! If you would like to contribute, send your scenario to me via e-mail at killian@mintsol.com or, preferably, post your scenario on the MB at Game FAQs along with a message that says that you would like me (ProtectorOne) to use it in my FAQ. Proper Credit will be given, of course.

They start out ridiculously easy, but by the time you reach Challenge 30, you'll become very frustrated. They are good practice, but the real reason to play them is to unlock the weapons, arenas, scenarios, and preset games that you'll be awarded for beating each of them. There are plenty of good challenge FAQs out there, so I'm not going to go into detail about those. LOAD/PRESET GAMES In this mode, you can just select any of the preset games that come with the game, or you can load any game that you have saved to either the game pack or to a controller pack in advanced setup. The presets that come with the game are listed below. When you select one of these games, it transfers you over to the "Quick go" menu. (note, not all the presets are available immediately, some of them must be unlocked in the challenges, like the weapons and arenas.) No Shield Automatics Rocket Launcher Simulants King of the Hill Complex Farsight Hold the Briefcase Pistol One-Hit Kills Capture the Case Cloaking Temple Explosives Slayer Tranquilizer Slow motion. QUICK START The quick start menu is an easier way to set up a quick game, When you start, you are first are asked to select teams from one of these: Players only (free-for-all with only humans) Players and Simulants (free-for-all with humans and sims) Player Teams (team game with only humans) Players vs. Simulants (duh) Player-Simulant teams (allows you to assign a certain number of sims per team) Once you select one of these, you will be taken to the Game Setup menu, where you can adjust the following things: Scenario Options -One hit kills -Slow motion (on, off, smart) -Fast movement -Display team -No Radar -No Auto-Aim -No Player Highlight -No Pickup Highlight Arena Weapons (allows you to choose from any of the weapon presets) Limits (time, score, team score) Number Of Simulants Simulant Difficulty Finished Setup (takes you to the "quick go" menu, where you can start the game, load your player, alter you player's settings, or drop out. --------------- 1.2 Advanced Setup The Advanced Setup menu is where the real fun begins. You can customize almost every aspect of the game here, and there are 4 sub-menus, accessible by moving left or right. GAME SETUP Scenario Options -One hit kills -Slow motion (on, off, smart) -Fast movement -Display team -No Radar -No Auto-Aim -Kills Score (in all modes except combat, this is an option) -No Player Highlight -No Pickup Highlight Arena Weapons (this time you can choose from one of the sets, create your own random set, or even select a random set.) Limits (time, score, team score) Player Handicaps Simulants (you have 8 slots for sims, and you can choose whatever personality and dificulty you want, or leave them blank. Teams (allows you to assingn any player, human or sim, to any of the 8 teams, and also allows you to switch between teams and free-for-all) Load Settings Save Settings (saves the current settings as a preset.) PLAYER SETUP (these setting effect only you.) Name Character Control (what style control you use) Player Options -Highlight Pickups -Highlight Players -Highlight Teams -Radar Statistics (displays your statistics Load Player Save PLayer STUFF Soundtrack Team Names Lock (allows you keep certain players from changing the settings) Ratio (Normal, 16:9) Split (Horizontal, Vertical) Start Game Drop Out Abort Game CHALLENGES- You can load one of the premade challenges in this mode. --------------- 1.3 Scenarios COMBAT This is the most common mode to use, the classic shoot-em-up, in either free- for-all or teams. A kill scores a point, and a death loses a point. HOLD THE BRIEFCASE In this mode, THere is a briefcase on the ground, somewhere in the arena. You gain points by finding the briefcase, and holding it. For each 30 seconds, you get one point. Additional Options include Kills Score, Highlight briefcase, and show on radar HACKER CENTRAL Here you objective is to first find the Data Uplink, then take it to the hidden terminal, whip it out, and download the virus while sitting there completely unarmed. This can get tricky for obvious reasons. Options again include Kills Score, Highlight Terminal, and Show on radar. POP A CAP Search and destroy is the goal here. At the beginning of the game, a random player is selected as the victim. Players are either told "Get ___!", "Protect ____!", or "You are the victim!". If you are the hunter, find the green "cap", and bust a cap in him for two points. If you are on the victim's team, or the victim yourself, you get a point for every minute the victim stays alive. The additional options are pretty much the same. KING OF THE HILL This is a team game, and is played by claiming a certain area. When the game starts, a certain room is selected as the "hill," and is highlighted green. If a player wanders into that room, it changes to the color of his/her team, and a timer begins to count down. If the time expires, the team gets a point for each player in the hill at that time. If they all leave the hill, the room turns green again and is anybody's claim. The timer is also reset. If an enemy enters the room while it is under someone else's control, the timer stops and does not continue counting until the enemy is killed or leaves. If the enemies take the hill, it changes to their color and the timer starts over for them. Options include Kills score, hill on Radar, Mobile hill (hill moves after time expires) and Time (anywhere from 10-120 seconds per point) CAPTURE THE CASE Pretty straightforward, the idea is to go find the enemy's case, and bring it back to your own case. The area where a team's case is located is highlighted in the color of that team. You can't return another team's case to your area if your case has been captured, and if you kill the person carrying a case, that case returns to the team's base area. --------------- 1.4 Simulants This section goes over the different bots available in multiplayer, and how to defeat them. For the special simulants, the normal difficulty is described. DIFFICULTIES For a normal simulant, the mission is clear; win the game. A bot assigned no special personality will do everything in its power to beat you, or to help you if it's on your team. They have difficulties ranging from cakewalk to headache to death on a stick. MeatSim: How do you beat a meat sim? Well, you can stand in one place, take a good 10 seconds to set up your aim, and shoot. They will rarely ever hit you, and they're horrible at avoiding fire. Seriously, if you can't beat a meatsim, then I strongly suggest you start a stamp collection because video games are not your thing. EasySim: A good step up from the Meatsim, but still far from formidable. These bots are still horrible shots, and they will only occasionally move with some degree of intelligence. They actually will kill you if you stand in one place, so just move around, and shoot at them, and you'll be fine. NormalSim: These are supposed to be the level of the average player, and they do a good job at that. They are the first real match you will face. They will fire shortly after they see you, and with decent accuracy, so don't screw around. Headshots help, but just be the quickest on the trigger and you'll usually come out victorious against these guys. Movement helps, also. HardSim: Here's some competition for ya. These guys have good accuracy, are rather fast, and are pretty smart. The biggest difference between these sims and the normalsims are that they almost never stop moving, while the normals usually stop to fire their gun. You can beat them by using you radar to know when they're coming, and keeping on the move, always. If you see them, strafe. If you're rounding a corner, strafe so that you're ready for the sim because their reaction time is GOOD. Take cover from them when you need to, because if they catch you reloading, you're dead. PerfectSim: This sim is the ultimate enemy without being cheap. They are smart, and they will strike with blinding speed and near-perfect accuracy (80-90 %, depending on the gun and the range.) The main difference between these and the hardsims in that the perfect sim will always go for the headshot. Solution? you must also go for the headshot. This means turn auto-aim OFF unless you REALLY trust your reaction time. Precision aim and the speed-strafe is a must. The way to get better is to practice. Play a falcons-or-magnums-only game with no auto-aim against hardsims and when you have slaughtered them sufficiently, move on to the perfectsim. When you can beat the perfectsim, move on to the... Darksim: These things dress in the tuxes, because they posess the skill of a 00 agent, if not better. They will respawn with the most powerful weapon, and a shield, and are cheatingly fast. I've even seen them walk through walls. Their one flaw is that they are (fairly) predictable. They will come flying into a room while speedstrafing, scoring 100% headshots the entire time. The way to beat them is by being unpredicable. That, and get lucky. That's right. Lucky. You need a fair bit of luck to beat the CheaterSim. PERSONALITIES These sims have been assigned an odd personality trait, as described below. The description is for a sim of normal difficulty level, but they can also be set from meat to dark. KazeSim: This sim will stop at nothing to get the kill, and will fly into a battle headfirst, completely willing to take himself out as well. The way to take them out is to back up, firing the whole time, just as you would with a charging Skedar. They will get up close to you and melee, so try to take them out from far away. Best weapon is something with good accuracy and stopping power (like a laptop gun). CowardSim: These guys will run away from you if they are outgunned, so just peg them in the back as they run away. Be wanred, though- if they are attacking you then they have either a better gun and/or more health than you, and will almost always attack from behind. This makes them pretty dangerous, so pay attention to them, then score some headshots and move on. PreySim: More dangerous than the previous two, these guys will attack the weakest players in the game, but unlike the cowardsim, they have no fear. To combat them, know the weapon locations and grab one as soon as you respawn then head for the shield immediately (which you should do anyway) so you can give it a surprise when it ambushes you. JudgeSim: This sim will always go after whoever's in the lead, so use this distraction to your advantage, and if you're in first, watch out. It will attack you and you only, so either have a teammate knock it out or simply be prepared for it. Attacks like a KazeSim with slightly better judgement. FeudSim: Similar to the JudgeSim; it picks one player and chases it for the entire game. Use this to your advantage when it's not chasing you. If it is hunting you, expect it, and keep killing it, there's nothing else you can do. Vengesim: This spiteful sim atacks whomever killed it last. You might want to leave it alone, because if it is chasing you, then it's like a feudsim until someone else kills it. FistSim: When facing a fistsim, don't be anywhere that you can be ambushed from behind, because that's what they do. Carry the weapon that has the greatest stopping power, but don't worry about accuracy too much. (Cyclone is a great example.) Make sure to carry a spare weapon. If you get ambushed, speed-strafe away for a while, find him on your radar, and mow him down from far away. PeaceSim: This Sim does nothing but disarm people and go around collecting guns. So, if you kill him, you'll be rewarded with a stockpile of goodies! Just like the fistsim, don't let him get too close. If he attacks you, however, you want him to run away from you, then peg him in the back. RocketSim: When you're fighting this sim, stay away from tight spaces. This sim will always use explosive weaponry when available. Stay in areas where you can take evasive action. Also, fight fire with fire. Blow up their explosives in their face for maximim hilarity. SpeedSim: This sim has about twice the speed of a normal sim, so you'll need to count on power, not accuracy to bring him down. Use automatics, and try to get it cornered with nowhere to go. Don;t try to chase it, rather attack it when it's charging at you. TurtleSim: This sim has a shield that's about twice the strength of a normal shield, so you need some serious firepower to bring it down. It's also really slow, so go for power over accuracy. (DY357-LX, maulers...) They're slow, but they're not stupid, so run circles around them or they'll waste you. --------------- 1.5 Weapons DEFINITIONS Here's how each weapon will be described: Name Ammo: type, rounds per clip (total capacity) Zoom Level, (Double) Primary Fire (PF) type: see descriptions below Secondary Fire (SF): lists secondary fire Strategies: This describes how best to use each weapon, when and when not to use it, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Primary fire types: Single- Rounds can only be fired (or thrown) one at a time before reloading. Pump- Gun needs to be cocked between each pull Manual- Fires one round per pull of the trigger, has some sort of recoil period before you can fire again. Semi-auto- Fires one bullet at a time as fast as you can pull the trigger, will also keep firing if trigger is held. Auto- Keeps firing until trigger is released, or runs out of ammo. Melee- Is slashed with, used in a point-blank range attack Abbreviations Used: rof: rate of fire PF: primary fire mode. SF: secondary fire mode WEAPONS Falcon 2 Ammo: Light, 8 rounds (800) No zoom, double PF type: Semi-auto SF: Pistol whip Strategy: Use this gun with a good degree of stealth. The falcon 2 is very accurate, but weak. This gun is good at close to medium-long range, so sneak up on a guard, pop him, reload, and move on. This gun reloads and fires fast, but don't try to take on packs of pad guys with automatics on with it. The secondary function is OK in single player for knocking out civillians, but totally useless in multi. Falcon 2 (silencer) Same as Falcon 2. Strategy: The silencer makes this a deadly, stealthy weapon, which allows you to take on enemies one at a time. If it were up to me, there would be a melee attack button, and the silencer would be a SF, but it's not. This gun has the same strengths and weakness as the Falcon 2 Falcon 2 (scope) Same as Falcon 2, plus a 2x zoom Strategy: The scope is a far useful tool than the silencer. It allows for greater precision, and greatly extends the effective range. With the scope, try to aim for effective headshots instead of using the auto-aim or the red box for someone in the distance, like you would with the other guns. This conserves ammo and assures you a kill. In multiplayer, the extra features give you little or no advantage. MagSec4 Ammo: Light, 9 rounds (800) 2.4x zoom, double PF type: Semi-auto SF: 3 round burst Strategy: This gun is horribly innacurate, so use it only at close range. The secondary function in great for nailing close-up headshots, but it eats ammo quickly, so be careful. Loads of fun in the multi, especially double, but not so hot as a single player weapon. Use as a backup, only for if you run out of Dragon ammo. Mauler Ammo: Light, 20 rounds (800) No zoom, double PF type: Semi-auto SF: Charge-up shot Strategy: This is a fairly accurate, fairly powerful pistol in its primary fire mode, but the secondary fire is where this gun really shows its stuff. Charge up 5 shots (takes about a second) and you get a perfectly accurate one-hit-kill weapon. This gun is amazing in both the single player and in multi. Use whenever you have it, unless you really need to conserve ammo, or if you need a zoom lens for some reason. Phoenix Ammo: Light, 8 rounds (800) No zoom, double PF type: Semi-auto SF: Explosive Shells Strategy: On PF, this is an alien version of the Falcon 2. The secondary fire, however, is like a rocket pistol. It's powerful, and unlike the Mauler, it doesn't use up any extra ammo. The downside is that it's loud, inaccurate, and dangerous in SF. Use if you need a hall-clearer, or if you're fighting someone with explosives, but use in PF or put it away if there are any allies or neutrals in the level. DY357 Magnum Ammo: Magnum Bullets, 6 rounds (200) No zoom, double PF type: Manual SF: Pistol Whip Strategy: Even in multi, one headshot from these will put anybody down (except for Skedar) but be careful of the slow rate of fire. Much better in pairs, but still useless against an asssault rifle. Use for taking on weaker guards, or for killing people one by one. Great for the G5 level (fire through doors) but not so hot in the airbase. A useful tactic is to shoot someone through a door. DY357-LX Ammo: Magnum Bullets, 6 rounds (200) No zoom, double PF type: Manual SF: Pistol Whip Strategy: These guns are absolutely deadly. You don't get to use the LX in single player, but they have perfect accuracy, and are always a one hit kill. Use the auto-aim to drop someone dead from across a room, or use your radar to kill someone before they open a door. Just always be careful of the lag between shots and the long-ish reload time. Aim with care. CMP150 Ammo: Medium, 32 rounds (800) No zoom, double PF type: auto SF: Follow Lock-on Strategy: An innacurate, fast-firing SMG of mid-strength. Because of its quick reload and high output, this gun is great for taking on packs of weaker guards such as the shockies in the first level, or the bodyguards in the third. Use the secondary function on enemies that like to jump around a lot, or the annoying ones that cloak. Cyclone Ammo: Medium, 50 rounds (800) No zoom, double PF type: Auto SF: Magazine discharge Strategy: Weak gun. Also has horrible accuracy, doubly so on SF. It's only redeeming qualities are its large magazine and fast RoF, which make it a good gun for cleaning corridors. Double them up and switch to SF for a game-high 60 combined bullets per second, twice as fast as the reaper. Use only at close-mid range. Callisto NTG Ammo: Medium, 32 rounds (800) No zoom PF type: auto SF: High impact shells Strategy: Always keep this gun on the secondary function. Your magazine will last 3 times as long, the shots are twice as powerful, and you get near-perfect accuracy in SF mode. It doesn't cost any extra ammo AND you can fire through things. Use whenever you have it, always. RC-P120 Ammo: Medium, 120 rounds (800) No zoom PF type: auto SF: cloak Strategy: This gun is powerful, shoots at lightning speed, and has a HUGE clip. Use for taking on strong enemies, even in packs. Burns ammo, especially un the useless secondary function, but a wonderful all-around piece of equipment. Use at close to long range, especially effective against assault rifles. In multi it's a great gun to use, but watch out for sims using the cloak function Laptop Gun Ammo: Medium, 50 rounds (800) 2x scope PF type: auto SF: Deploy as sentry gun Strategy: The most underrated gun in the game. It has a large magazine, fast rate of fire, powerful bullets, and good accuracy. It's even got a scope. Use this gun in solo for effective shooting down those packs of Pelagic II guards, much better than a single CMP150. Did I mention, it's got an awesome secondary function? Throw it anywhere, and let it do the dirty work for you. (uses 200 ammo every time, however.) Great gun. Dragon Ammo: Heavy, 30 rounds (400) 2x scope PF type: auto SF: proximity self-destruct Strategy: This is the weakest of the assault rifles, but it's a good gun. It's the best for taking on groups of guards because it takes the longest time to drain the clip. If it's stealth you're after, this is NOT your gun. You can even get detected if a guard fires one at you. Good gun in single, but won't stand up one-on-one against a K7 or AR34 at close range, especially in multi. It's pretty mediocre, but I'd choose it over a K7 or an AR-34 in solo. Use the proxy mine in multi for a nasty trap. K7 Avenger Ammo: Heavy, 25 rounds (400) 3x scope PF type: auto SF: Threat Detector Strategy: Don't try to use this on more than two people at a time, it just won't work. This gun loses its clip in a really short amount of time. It's best for taking people on over mid to long range, because it's pretty accurate and very powerful. The threat detector highlights autoguns, proxy mines, etc... Useful. Be careful, because this gun is deadly in the hands of a Mr.Blonde or stripey. Use with care- don't get caught reloading. AR-34 Ammo: Heavy, 30 rounds (400) 3x scope PF type: auto SF: use scope Strategy: Despite what the game says, this rifle is horribly innacurate. It's the best gun at close range, when used for prowling halls in the G5 multi, or for saving hostages in the CI. This is a really good gun, it's magazine lasts a good while, and it's more powerful than the Dragon, but you have to know how to use it. By that, I mean whip around a corner, drop everyone in the room, and reload. Do not try to do this in rooms like the big one in the temple, it won't work. SuperDragon Same as Dragon SF: Grenade Launch SF ammo: 6 (40) Strategy: In PF, same as Dragon. In SF, the grenades are wonderful. The guards in solo never use them, but they can be useful in taking down groups. Just fire one, and they fall like dominos. Be careful, because if you miss, it could hurt. A lot. Shotgun Ammo: Shells, 9 rounds (100) PF type: pump SF: Double Blast Strategy: The shotgun is absolutely deadly at close range, and this is why. With each pull of the trigger, the shotgun fires 6 individual pellets. These pellets each deliver roughly half the damage of a Falcon 2, but if you hit with all 6, the total damage is equal to that of 3 normal bullets. Ouch. This is good, but these pellets spread out, so the farther away you are, the less likely all of the pellets are to hit. This gun's effective range is therefore severely limited. However, when set on double blast, with one pull of the trigger you can empty the rough equivalent of 6 falcon 2 bullets into your opponent's chest, provided they all strike. Turn those into headshots and you're absolutely deadly in ant close-range encounter, even against one- hit-kill weapons, as the shotgun doesn't really require time to aim. Be warned, though, because the reload time will kill you if you don't time it right, so reload every chance you get, especially with SF on. Sniper rifle Ammo: Heavy, 8 rounds (400) Variable scope, 1x-30x PF type, semi-auto SF: crouch Strategy: I love this gun. It's an absolute wonder in the solo mode, (just pop a stripey in the head and watch the snow turn red with his blood) so it's a pity that the multi doesn't really have any good sniper spots. Don't try to use this gun in multi, you'll get yourself killed. The same applies to close-quarter combat in the solo levels. Always crouch if you can, this steadies your aim significantly. Farsight XR-20 Ammo: Orbs, 8 rounds (100) X-ray scope, zoom=? PF type: manual SF: Target locator Strategy: If you have this gun, find a place to hide and ALWAYS use the SF. This gun was meant to be an anti-camper device, but it just made the problem 10 times worse. Thus, camping is the obvious strategy for this gun. Set up either a laptop sentry, proxy mines, or a teammate nearby, stand on top of an ammo box, and go to town! Farely useless in the solo except in PA for the pillar things. Whatever you do, don't let your opponent see you face to face with this gun in your hands. If you miss, he will waste you. Reaper Ammo: Reaper Ammo, 200 rounds (800) PF type: automatic SF: Grinder Strategy: Whatever you do, do not try to take on the skedar with this gun. While its rate of fire is blindingly fast, this is IMO a slow gun. If you need to burst into a room where you're outnumbered, go in spinning at full, and mow them down. Grinder would be cool, but the effects are pretty bad. Devastator Ammo: Grenade Rounds, 8 (40) PF Type: manual SF: Wall hugger Strategy: For use of the grenades, see the superdragon entry. For some reason, even easysims seem to have pinpoint accuracy with this in multi, so I avoid this gun if I can. The wall hugger is good for blowing holes in walls, knocking down pillars, shattering Carrington's wine collection, etc. Again, take great care with this gun whenever you use it. Rocket Launcher Ammo: Rockets, 1 (3) PF type: single SF: targeted rocket Strategy: Use for dropping the dD hovercopter right out of the sky. Also useful in the same level for taking out the two bodyguards near the pillar in the ECM room. In multi, it's nice for completely wasting an enemy, but the timing is hard. Use the targeted rocket if you can't aim, but beware- this makes it much slower. (you can actually outrun a rocket on SF) Slayer Ammo: Rockets, 1 (3) PF type: single SF: fly-by-wire rocket. Strategy: The PF rockets are the same as the rocket launcher, with a bit faster reload. The SF is where this rocket really shines. Use it to camp or launch a pre-assault on the hill in multi, just be careful, because you are vulnerable when you are seeing throught the rocket. Set up like a far-sight, or use it to sneak into a camping spot that may have been booby trapped. In solo, it's mildly useful, but hardly worth the effort. Combat Knife Ammo: combat knifes, 1 (10) Double PF type: Melee SF: Throw poison knife Strategy: The poison knife throw is a nasty weapon, but be careful, they can still shoot at you while they're dying. For a dirty trick, throw a knife into a dead player's body, and they'll respawn poisoned! In PF, the knife is much better than your fists. Held double, they're deadly. Go for the head, and you will soon hear the "swish-UUH-thud" of a foe dropping dead. When up against a gun, always try to hit from behind, and zig-zag or circle your victim. Crossbow Ammo: bolts, 5 (69) PF type: manual SF: instant kill Strategy: This gun is great in the solo mission, because the sedate effect puts guards right out. Always sedate in the solos, because if you kill too many alaskan guards, you'll fail the mission. Also a wonderful stealth gun, the only thing to be careful of is the long reload and the small magazine. The SF is the fastest rof of any one kit kill gun, but see above. Tranquilizer Ammo: darts, 8 (200) PF type: semi-auto SF: lethal injection Strategy: how to use this gun in single player- don't. this may seem odd after the crossbow strat, but trust me, the sedatives are much weaker, and the SF is useful at point-blank range only. This gun may not look it, but it can be deadly in multi. There's a specific way- you need to use both modes; tranquilize someone until they're stoned, 4 darts usually does it, then switch to SF, sneak up to them and give 'em the lethal injection. Laser Ammo: N/A PF type: Semi-auto SF: Short stream laser Strategy: In the solo mission, this gun is absolutely useless. Do not use it, except to break open the safe. Even in multi, the beam is OK if you aim for the head, or in a one-hit-kills match, but otherwise don't use it unless you're out of ammo. Grenade Ammo: grenades, 1 (12) PF type: single SF: proximity pinball Strategy: Pretty standard in PF. Pull the pin, toss it at your intended target, and after about seconds, it explodes. Grenades are great for taking out something that you'd otherwise have trouble aiming at, like mines in the ground, or someone below you when you're up on a catwalk. The SF is crazy. Toss it into a room, and watch it bounce around until it hits a human, the BOOM! They're toast. Great for large, heavily populated rooms like the ones in temple or car park, or the hanger in A51. N-bomb Ammo: n-bombs, 1 (10) PF type: single SF: proximity detonation. Strategy: This grenade-like device has 2 things that are cool about it; It disarms people and it dizzies, even through a shield. It only does minimal damage, but can give you a huge advantage over a whole crowd. Use the proxy function to lay nasty traps in hallways, some even wait until someone is weakened by the bomb, and pop in and kill them while they're unarmed and dizzy. Nasty. Mines (timed, proxy, remote) Ammo: __ mines, 1 (10) PF type: single SF: Threat detector, detonate (remote) Strategy: The mines are all the same in the way that you throw them and the damage they cause, the only difference is the detonation device. The timed mine simply has a 4 second timer, stick it on to someone to really give them a hard time. The proxy mines detonate when anyone comes near them (including the one who set the mine) and are absolutely wonderful for laying traps. The remote mines are my favorite, and operate with a remote detonater (duh). Either switch to the SF and press Z, or press A and B at the same time to blow up all of your mines. The SF is the same as that of the K7, except you can't throw the mines while in this mode. GADGETS Shield The shield protects against all attacks except the N-bomb and the Skedar's melee attacks. The additional bonuses are that every hit counts as a limb shot, and you can replenish shields over and over again (in multi). Take the time to find the shield, they can save your life. Data Uplink This has a link back to grimshaw at the CI, and is used for hacking into computers and other devious tasks. Use it to score a point in hacker central Night Vision These goggles are used to see in the dark by enhancing visible light, Don't use them in normal light, because they will wight out. X-ray scanner These can see through walls and cloaking devices, but be warned, as their range is limited. They lose objects at point-blank and after about fifty video-game feet. Combat Boost Use the combat boost to slow down time and give you a better reaction time than the sims in high pressure situations Radar Use the radar to track either the hackers, the three special pillars, or your enemies. In multi, you are the dot in the middle. Something at 12 o' clock in relation to you is also shown as 12 o' clock on the radar. Little half-circles mean that the object is not on the same floor as you, little squares mean you are on the same floor. Game-important objects like the hill are usually shown as hollow, and the color of an object indicates the team. If it has no team, it is shown as yellow-green. Cloaking Device Seen in: Mr. Blonde's revenge, multi. (used by guards in G5, deep sea, attack ship and Skedar ruins.) The cloaking device is wonderful, but can be foiled by an IR or X-ray scanner. It deactivates when you fire, use that to your advantage. Also, It doesn't make people totally invisible, they can still be seen as "wavy air blobs" --------------- 1.6 Arenas Area 52 This area shares only a little in common with the in-game levels. It's a lot like the skedar arena with its wide open areas linked by tight hallways, but bigger and more complex. Be careful not to get ambushed in the wide open areas and use the bottlenecks and dead ends in the arena to your advantage. Snipers seem to like the towers in the big open area, but I never did. Unless you're going for a weapon, avoid the afformentioned big area, it's too easy to get mowed down in. If you know someone is in one of the two rooms with only one entrance, don't go in through the door, but either shoot through the glass or open (yes, you can) a window and surprise them. Base This Arena is surprisingly mazelike, and is a wonderful place to get sniped from above. Assault rifles are best in this arena, because they are good up close in the hallways as well as in the long room. Don't get caught trying to shoot someone on the pathways above you, because if they don't drop down and kill you, someone else will. Similarly, if someone's on the floor below you, drop down on them while firing for a nasty surprise. Car Park This arena is great practice for distance combat over the wide open floors. If you find yourself outgunned, use the boxes or pillars for cover, and retreat into a stairwell. Use some of your short-range weaponry to surprise your attacker, but be careful not to get surprised yourself. The stairwells are the number one spot to get mowed down from above, so avoid them if you can. Use a gun with a scope on the big floors. Complex This level is.. well.. complex. The way that the rooms link up never made any sense to me. Often in this level it's simply the player with the best reaction time that wins, because the rooms are so small, and the halls are so tight. If you know your way around, you are much better off. The hiding spaces are also key, like the nook over by the ladder, and the shadows under the ramps. Facility Being a Goldeneye player, I find the misspelling deeply offensive. This level, while medium-sized, has several distinct levels that give it a big feel. There are many little cul-de-sacs where campers LOVE to hang out, so take care of the annoyances with some anti-camper weaponry. (a proxy mine on the door, the laptop sentry gun thrown into the room, a well-fired slayer rocket...) weapon of choice for this arena is the Callisto NTG. It fires through doors, and has good accuracy for those across-the-hall battles. Some find it awkward, so the Laptop Gun is another good choice, especially if you like the scope. Avoid the K7 avenger or the CMP150, they drain their magazines too fast. Fortress Ugh. The colors on the walls do nothing more than encourage screen-looking. The rooms with the elevators on these rooms are camper heaven, so look out. If smeone's using one of the sniper platforms, sneak up behind them and kill while they're defenseless. This is a big arena, but hard to get lost in. Go for a scope in the big central area, range doesn't hurt in the halls either. not much else to say about this level, except to shoot people while the SLOW doors are opening. G5 building Close quarters combat, anyone? This is an arena that takes a lot of skill, and if you get lost, you are doomed. That being said, choose power over accuracy in this arena, and keep moving, as there aren't any good camping spots. There are several spots where you can fire into another room without actually being there, so lob a well-placed explosive for some dishonorable kills. Pillars are good for cover from sims, not so much for humans. Grid For some reason, this is the most common slo-mo arena. Maybe it's the feeling of being "the one" Don't, however, do the "strafing behing pillars while firing move," all it does is wastes ammo. Instead, sneak across the room, slip behind the pillars and blindside your opponent while he tries the same thing. (like in the VR room in CI:defense) This is the only arena where look ahead is useful, for those flying attacks. If you can't find a good weapon, or if you need a breather, then head for the hallways, but otherwise stick to the main drag. Pipes The main thing in this arena is not falling to your death. Often the good gun is down on the pipes, but be careful. Lots of weapons have powerful kickbacks that will send you falling to your death if you get hit by the bullets. (or someone else if you hit them.) Like in the ravine, the red walkways can be shot through, so use that to your advantage. THe place to be is in the narrow halls, carrying a powerful weapon. Ravine The main thing to avoid here is falling to your death. Scoped, accurate weapons are best for anywhere here. Don't try anything short-range, you'll usually get mowed down before you get close enough. The elevator is great for surprise attacks. There are no real camping spots, so movement is key here. Stick to the walls while strafing, and you'll be aple to pick off opponents as the walk through the room. Ruins This level is small, but it's a maze. The hallways are the favorite of darksims because of all the holes in the floor. If you're looking to camp, this is not your arena. There is more than one entrance to almost every room in this level, and you'll only get mowed down if you stay in one place. Wasting people through doors is a common practice here for those who use the radar wisely. Sewers Ugh. The easiest level to get lost in by far. The layout is symmetrical, and the wall textures will tell you what floor you're on, but it's still easy to get lost. Close-range weapons and good reaction time is key. Skedar This arena is really easy, and is a good spot for beginner players. There's no pits, very few ambush spots, and the layout is fairly simple. The camping spots are the places where the shields show up in the weapon presets. Survive by keeping moving in the hallways, and don't get caught in one of the open areas, rather surprise other people. There are usually a couple good cover objects in each of the rooms, so use these to your advantage. The spots to avoid are the "snowy" rooms with the weird terrain and tunnel entrances. Temple The Temple from Goldeneye is back, and this time you can actually fall through the big hole! Yay. This level has one big, gaping, main room, a couple of smaller rooms, and a bunck of hallways. You'll want something fairly accurate for over the long distances here. You can lay a trap for someone throughout the entire level, so use your proxy mines and laptop sentry guns. Often I'll just camp in the main room, but this doesn't usually work againts multiple sims. Try to find the good weapon, and guard it. Villa This place feels huge. It's big, but its mostly open spaces, multiple levels, and twisted layout give it the most vacant feel of any level. Also, it doesn't have any cramped hallways at all so people tend not to get frantic, even bots. Keep a quick trigger finger, and keep moving so you don't get surprised. A good weapon is usually on the little pedestal thing that you can only get to by falling off of the catwalk, so get it. Warehouse The Warehouse consists of one huge room, and several other smaller rooms linked by hallways. The big room is the most common place to get mowed down, and the smaller rooms are the best places to camp. Where, then should you spend your time? Find a good weapon, and patrol the hallways. Oh, and there is no 6th weapon slot here for reasons known only to Rare. --------------- 1.7 Character IMPORTANCE The character that you use is somewhat important, some make a bigger deal of it than others. I'm not going to list all of the multiplayer characters available, because you can see them all in the game, and I can't really provide any additional information. I can tell you that all the characters differ in three ways; size, shape, and color. There may be minute differences between the speed you can travel at, but barely enough to make a difference. Other than that, nothing else is different. All characters have the same health, (provided no handicaps are used) and any difference in skill lies all in the player using it. About the three traits that can be changed: Size and shape: The size of a character determines how hard it is to hit. For example, Joanna is a smaller target than, say, Mr.Blonde. You might want to consider using one of the smaller players to get that extra edge. The extreme of this is the superfreak. A Maian body with a Human head. Very hard to hit, but I never use it because it's slow and hard to score headshots with. The shape of a player matters, because if you have a big head, then headshots are more likely when you get hit. I just choose the coolest looking player. Color: Color determines how hard you are to see. If you pick in a color that blends in with the environment, you will be harder to distinguish, that's why the army uses camouflage. Of course, none of this matters if you're playing with bots, or screen-lookers, or auto-aim, or random arena, or people who don't want to have to wait for you to change your character... RANK AND STATISTICS As you play more and more games in the combat simulator, you will obtain more impressive statistics. As your statistics advance, your rank will progress from Beginner:21 to, eventually, Perfect:1. There is some fancy method to your advancement through the ranks, but I will not try to either explain this or copy an explanation from somebody else. There are plenty of decent explanations available online, just googe "Perfect Dark Statistics." I can list the ranks for you, though. 21: Beginner 20: Trainee 19: Amateur 18: Rookie 17: Novice 16: Trooper 15: Agent 14: Star Agent 13: Special Agent 12: Expert 11: Veteran 10: Professional 9: Dangerous 8: Deadly 7: Killer 6: Assassin 5: Lethal 4: Elite 3: Invincible 2: Near Perfect 1: Perfect The game also keeps track of a number of statistics for each saved player. Some of these inlfuence your rank (marked with an asterisk) and some of them don't. Most of them are pretty obvious. Name- Duh... Your name Kills*- How many players, human or simulant, you have killed. Deaths- How many times you have seen the red screen of death. Accuracy- The percentage of shots fired that have actually hit their target. Head Shots- The number of headshots you have Ammo Used*- The amount of ammo that has left your barrel. Damage Dealt*- The amount of health that you have taken from other players Pain Received- The amount of health that you've lost. Games Played- The amount of games you've played Games Won*- The number of games you've won Games Lost- The number of games you've lost Time Spent*- How many real-time days, hours, and minutes you have logged. Distance*- How many virtual kilometers your character has traveled Accuracy Medals* (green) Head Shot Medals* (yellow) Kill Master Medals* (red) Survivor Medals* (blue) Your Current Rank --------------- --------------- Section 2- Multiplayer Scenarios CREATED SCENARIOS This is probably the section you came here for. These are all games that need to be created in advanced setup, not the presets that come with the game. For a list of those, or a list of the challenges, there are plenty of other FAQs. Weapons are listed in order of which slot they should go in. (1,2,3,4,5,6) --------------- Fear (Created by me) Scenario: Combat (free for all) Options: OHK, no radar (perfect darkness makes it even more hellish.) Sims: 2 Kazesims, normal or higher, I play with 1 hard and 1 dark Weapons: Farsight, Dy357, Magsec 4, Shield, Cloaking device, Shotgun. Limits: anything Arena: Any, my favorites for this one are G5, ravine, and ruins. This one it a very fast-paced adrenaline rush of a scenario, and is my personal favorite when I'm on my own. Turning off OHK takes away a bit of the panic, but can add a different strategic twist to the game. --------------- WAR! (me) Scenario: Capture the case Options: no radar Sims: 3 maians, hard, normal, and perfect, against 3 Mr. Blondes, hard, normal, and perfect. (you can use an easy or darksim if you want) Limits: 10 points, unlimited time. Arena: ruins, area 52, and villa are best, but anywhere works. Weapons: Phoenix, Mauler, Reaper, Callisto NTG, Farsight, Slayer. This gives you a great opportunity for a team battle, and allows you to use the command functions. (Hold A, press Z three times to bring up the menu.) Plus, it has some fun fights between the sims, but it's not recommended for more than two human players because of the framerate. --------------- The Ultimate King of the Hill (me) Scenario: King of the hill Options: set the limits high, the time per point high, and turn mobile hill OFF for best fun, but the hill can also move to avoid camping if you wish. Sims: Any (see below) Try giving a turtle and a speedsim to each team. Teams: 2 equally matched teams Arena: The best are Area 52, villa, car park, temple, and pipes Weapons: K7 avenger, DY357-LX, Laptop Gun, Proximity Mine, Slayer, Farsight This is a wonderful team battle as well, and calls for some extreme strategy. The key to winning this scenario is making the best use of the weapons for both laying traps and for seige tactics. Have fun! --------------- Ragdoll Physics (me) Scenario: Combat Options: OHK off, Radar, free-for-all Limits: Time only, points unlimited. Sims: Kazesim (easy), FistSim (normal), MeatSim Arena: G5, sewers, or complex Weapons: Magsec 4, Shotgun, and Cyclone in any 3 slots you like, with the other 3 slots disabled. What a riot! I love the absolute bloody mayhem that this scenario creates. The lack of weapons only adds to the chaos, and once you throw in some crazy bots as cannon fodder, then the fun really begins. --------------- Stealth (me) Scenario: Combat Options: no radar, free-for-all Limits: first to 10 points, unlimited time. Sims: none if you're playing against a human, otherwise use a shieldsim set to normal or above. Arena: Base or warehouse (you'll lose weapon #6, so put the item you like least in that slot) Weapons: Falcon 2 (silencer), cloaking device, sniper rifle, shield, combat knives, crossbow. A fight for the "most dishonorable" award. Camp, ambush, and surprise like your life depends on it (which, in fact, it does) in the ultimate spy-oriented scenario. --------------- The Matrix (common knowledge) Scenario: Combat Options: slow motion ON, fast movement humans vs. bots, or free-for-all if you're alone Limits: 5-10 minutes Sims: 2 normalsims, 2 cowardsims (normal) Arena: Grid Weapons: Falcon 2, CMP150, Falcon 2, CMP 150, AR34, K7 Avenger There are about five thousand different versions of this scenario, but this is my personal favorite, and the one I feel best emulates the matrix. --------------- 4th of July (me) Scenario: Combat Options: player handicap 200% Teams: free-for-all Limits: 15 min. Sims: 2 easy rocketsims, 1 normal kazesim. Any more will freeze the game Arena: Skedar, temple, or ravine. Weapons: Grenade, remote mine, devastator, phoenix, rocket launcher, shield Kaboom. There will be many explosions in this game for sure, so don't play it unless you're willing to die often. If you play in paintball mode, it will look like someone bombed the paint section of a hardware store. --------------- Goldeneye (me) Scenario: Combat or Pop-a-Cap Options: Radar, Kills score Teams: You can do "good vs. evil", or just no teams. Limits: 20 team points, 10 individual points. Sims: Any you want, I've tried to create various characters like Bond, Natalya, Boris, Valentin, 006, Jaws, Oddjob, and Goldeneye guards, but have never quite been able to work it out. Arena: any of the classic arenas. Weapons: Falcon 2 (D5K Deutche), Falcon 2 silencer (pp7), CMP150 (ZMG), RC-P120 (RC-P90), K7 avenger (KF7 Soviet), Remote Mines (duh) Aaaah, the good old days. This will really remind you of Goldeneye. That is, if you've played Goldeneye. For best results, breathe heavily when hit. OR, The Man with the Golden Gun All of the options are the same as in "Goldeneye" except for the weapons. Weapons: Proxy Mines, Combat Knives, N-Bombs, Shield, Cloaking Device, DY357-LX This one, obviously, becomes a mad hunt for the golden magnum. (golden gun) You can really play it in any arena, but the classic ones are actually the most fun. Play with 4 humans for total man-hunt effect. --------------- "Heroes" Battle (me) Scenario: Combat Options: No radar, no highlights. Teams: good vs. evil, you pick which team you want to be on. Limits: 100 team points Arena: Temple Sims: DarkSim (Joanna Combat), Dark PeaceSim (Carrington), Hard KazeSim (Johnathan in pilot disguise), PerfectSim (Elvis Waistcoat), Normal PeaceSim (President), Hard CowardSim (Trent Easton), Perfect Kazesim (Mr. Blonde), Hard FistSim (Cassandra DeVries) Weapons: Anything you want This is based on a scenario from Battlefront II, where you get to play as and against the heroes from the series. It's a long battle, and it's full of really powerful characters. So is this battle, and it's always a really fun game, especially since the temple adds to the whole "epic" feel of the game. --------------- The Martix- Escape from Agent Smith (me) Scenario: Hacker Central Options: No highlights, show on radar, kills score off, fast Limits: 1 point Arena: Complex Weapons: Falcon2, CMP150, Magsec 4, AR34, Shield, laptop gun 1 perfectsim- Dinner jacket 2 with Trent's head (Agent Smith) The story is simple. You are Neo, and you are stuck in the Matrix. Agent Smith has discovered you, and is trying to kill you. Remember that if you die in the Matrix, you die in the real world. (If you die, you fail). Don't try to kill Agent Smith, he will only respawn, just keep him at bay long enough to escape by finding the phone, and completing a call (hacker) --------------- Shotgun Fun (me) Scenario: Pop a Cap Options: No radar, no highlights, fast movement Limits: 15 minutes Arena: Facility (Oops... I mean "Felicity") Weapons: N-bomb, Nothing, Shotgun, Nothing, Grenade, Shield Sims: Easy kazesims so that there are 4 total players, human or simulant, sims dressed in office clothes. This is, obviously, a battle for the shotgun. Don't think you're safe if you have it, though, because you can lose it in a heartbeat. The Grenades are very hard to use here because of fast movement, but the N-bombs are a good way to nab the gun, as is strafing up to someone and disarming them. The Shotgun appears in two places that are impossible to camp in, so don't try. The cramped halls and long reload time just add to the panic and fun. --------------- How Not to Be Seen (me) also known as: Backstabber, SceenLookFest2004, and What the Hell? Scenario: Combat Options: no radar, no teams Limits: 20 points, 15 minutes Arena: Ravine Weapons: Cloaking Device, Farsight, Proxy Mines, Laptop Gun, Shield, K7 Avenger Teams: 3 or 4-player free-for-all. This is a killer scenario, where people are pretty much told to camp. Players will set up base camp areas, where they have proxy mines and sentry guns, and go Farsight-camping. There are disadvantages, though. The --------------- THE ROSSDUDE COLLECTION All of the scenarios in this section were created, tested, and improved upon by RossDude at GameFAQs, and are included in this FAQ with his permission. All of the stories, commentary, etc, that go with the scenarios is are also his work. Slow Down *** This scenario took me 40 minutes to think up, test, and modify. The weapons are all placed correctly so that you can get doubles easily and so on. Also, the Combat Boosts combined with Fast Movement make it like Bullet-Time, from The Matrix. It's so fun, even if you don't like Combat Boosts or hand-to-hand combat, use the Combat Boost then take out a gun to use. Trust me; the Combat Boosts add a very nice touch to the game, and the inclusion of radar allows you to trigger a Combat Boost appropriately. And now for my final words - this is a very well thought out game and I really enjoy playing it. I hope you all do too! Warning: Do not activate a Combat Boost after the ten-second countdown starts, or else the game will freeze.

All of the weapons are in good places, and are spread out from each other so that you don't get annoyed by picking the same one up several times in a row. I think it has a really good plot too.

One night, right after you've fallen asleep, your house is suddenly broken into by half a dozen men, dressed in black, wearing masks and body armor, and also carrying CMP150s. They knock you out before you have a chance to actually realize what's going on. When you come to you find yourself in a strange looking, brightly lit place. You hear a voice come on over the PA system - "You are here to test out our newest biological experiments! By checking your background records we have found that you are skilled in hand-to-hand combat and weaponry. Good luck, you shall need it!" Suddenly you hear doors opening and footsteps everywhere.

You’re well on your way, and almost there when one of the engines blows. The fire begins to spread everywhere. The crew scrambles around the shuttle trying to find a way to survive the catastrophe... You crash land in a small canyon on the planet. You’re the only survivor out of the whole crew of four people. You check the consoles and send an emergency call from your area. Shortly after you send the signal you receive a reply saying they're sending a rescue shuttle after you, using a new, and faster, propulsion system to get there quicker. You let out a sigh of relief. That's when you notice fuel leaking into the shuttle from the second battered engine. Knowing that is not a good thing, you go out in your space suit and explore for any kind of shelter, a cave, anything. What you find puts you into shock. You have found the old ruins of an alien base. Carefully, you start exploring the base, unaware of the surviving alien that makes his living there… ----- Arrowhead – A Game of Intense Combat ***** Players: 1 Scenario: Combat Options: Slow Motion, Fast Movement, No Radar, No Auto-Aim, No Player Highlight No Pickup Highlight Arena: Grid Weapons: 1.

Blank Teams: Player 1 vs. simulants 1 and 2 vs. simulants 3 and 4 Soundtrack: dD Research Description: This scenario was inspired by spxiii’s “Arrowaei!!” I went for a completely different feel for this setup, and it’s noticeable. It requires strategy and good use of cover. The slow motion makes combat very intense. Everybody will be going for the Crossbow, but it’s a treacherous journey to reach it. However, you can still win the game without it. You can take the more stealthy approach by cloaking and carefully knifing people. This is one setup where it’s actually more useful to slash someone. The Shield will give you a second chance when taking Crossbow fire, but it will also give the simulants an extra chance too, so you need to be watchful. This is a much slower paced game when compared to my other scenarios, but it’s still very tense and challenging. ----- Heightened Senses ** Players: 2 Scenario: Capture the Case Options: No Radar, No Auto-Aim Arena: Fortress Weapons: 1. Falcon 2 (silencer) 2. CMP150 3. Laptop Gun 4. AR34 5. Shield 6. Cloaking Device Limits: Team Score: 30 Simulants: 1. Hard-CowardSim 2. NormalSim 3. NormalSim 4. Normal-TurtleSim 5. MeatSim 6. Hard-KazeSim 7-8. Blank Teams: Red: Player 1 and Player 2 Blue: Hard-CowardSim, NormalSim Yellow: NormalSim, Easy-TurtleSim Magenta: MeatSim, HardSim Soundtrack: CI Operative, dataDyne Action Explanation: For the simulants, I chose all those types and difficulties because it makes the teams more even. A Hard-CowardSim just may run from you, but he has a NormalSim on his team to back him up. The NormalSim and Normal-TurtleSim are very hard foes. NormalSims can be tough and the TurtleSim's shield is a real pain, but the TurtleSim is extremely slow. The MeatSim is right out pathetic, but the Hard-KazeSim makes up for a lot of his mistakes. As for the weapons, I chose all of those because the game is about stealth, speed, sniping, and some straight out combat. The Falcon 2 (silencer) is there to add to the stealth effect. The CMP150 was put in there as a standard automatic weapon. The Laptop Gun was added as helpful protection to guard the case. The AR34 is in there because of its power and good scope. The Shields are all located in the sniping boxes and you have to go out of your way to get them. Lastly, the Cloaking Device was added to sneak around. ----- Slow Down 2 *** Players: 1 Scenario: Combat Options: Fast Movement, No Radar, No Auto-Aim, No Player Highlight, No Pickup Highlight Arena: Grid Weapons: 1.

Blank Teams: Only the two EasySims should be on a team together Soundtrack: dD Extraction, End Credits Explanation: This is a different version of another one of my scenarios called Slow Down. Fast Movement coupled with Combat Boosts makes the game seem like Bullet-Time from The Matrix. Without radar or auto-aim you can expect to be caught off guard and surprised often. The two EasySims are in there to even things out since they are on a team together. The Easy-TurtleSim has a high chance of surviving because of its shield. Do not encounter it in close quarters. The NormalSim was also added to even things out since he’s got one of the highest difficulty levels in the scenario. And the Normal-SpeedSim is everyone’s biggest foe. It’s fast and has a high difficulty level so it will be hard to bring down. It also moves faster than the other simulants when you’ve got a Combat Boost in effect. All the weapons are in their correct slots so do not switch them around. The Falcon is in there to use in collaboration with a Combat Boost, because you can fire it at any rate (as fast as you can pull the trigger) while regular automatics fire at a slower rate. The Laser is in there as a last resort really. It’s weak, but its secondary function combined with a Combat Boost makes it deadly. The CMP150 is your only form of auto-aim so use it well. The Combat Knife was added for extra fun with the slow motion effects. And the AR34 is a sort of equalizer. With slow motion, its reload is incredibly slow. Also, it is pretty hard to come by. Also, because of the simulants (especially the SpeedSim), camping is pretty much eliminated. You constantly have to be moving. Warning: Do not activate a Combat Boost after the ten-second countdown starts, or else the game will freeze. ----- Bot Complexity **** You work for a government agency that designs and manufactures robots of all sorts. One of the robots made, the C-102, was a highly efficient machine. It kept learning and figuring out new things everyday. There was one problem though; it learned too much. Soon it wanted out. The agency couldn't let this happen, for the robot had such limited memory, and when the memory runs out the bot could overload; it could wreak havoc with its unnatural abilities in such a state. So the agency made a complex for the bot. A place to study and maintain it, keep it safe. But the bot wanted out... One night, you were assigned to the security room of the complex to keep track of the bot. You are sitting in the control room relaxing when suddenly, the cameras turn to static. You stand up and grab a nearby Dragon. Just then, the bot bursts into the room, knocking the door off its hinges. You roll to the right and pop back up on your knees. Just as you're about to pull the trigger, the bot slams its cold metal fist into your face, knocking you over. You roll back, and hop onto your knees again, ignoring the pain. As you look up, you see the bot run out of the room with your Dragon. You sound the alarm for backup, and get a reply saying they'll be there within ten minutes. Ten minutes is too much time. You've got to stop the bot before it escapes... Bot Information: The bot has two battery backup units, so bringing it down may prove hard. Bringing it down three times should kill it though. After you destroy one of its battery backup units, it will become more aggressive and will try harder to stop you.

Retrieve experimental Shield item. Before you can destroy the bot, you'll have to obtain two experimental weapons that the bot cannot be allowed to get. One is the Shield. It is located on the roof of the complex, so you'll have to climb up there to get it. Go for it first, seeing as if the bot gets it, it will only make it stronger. 2. Retrieve experimental weaponry. The second item you'll have to obtain is the RC-P120 experimental weapon. It is located in the columns room, so make quick haste to get it. With that weapon the bot will have the ability to be even more cunning and powerful. 3. Destroy bot. After obtaining the items, make sure to take out the bot. Remember though, it has three "lives" so watch your back. Also remember, it has access to all areas of the complex. Proceed with caution. Explanation and Tips: Make sure when setting this up that all the weapons are in the correct slots. If you mix the slots up, weapons like the Shield and RC-P120 (mission critical items) will be moved and harder to find. Without radar it can be very hard to find the bot, and very surprising when he finds you. This is why you must be very careful and proceed with extreme caution. The Shield should come in handy as the RC-P120's secondary function should also. Remember that you only have one life. That is what makes this scenario challenging – completing the objectives and destroying the bot three times before you die even once. ----- Rescue Santa! *** You’ve gotten word that the one and only Santa has been kidnapped by immature terrorists! The terrorists know that Santa’s reindeer will try to rescue him, which is why he’s been kidnapped. When the reindeer arrive, the terrorists plan to slaughter them right in front of Santa! It’s up to you and only you to save Santa, his reindeer, and Christmas… Rules: 1. If you die once, you lose. 2. To win, you and Santa must be in the hill at the same time the timer runs out. Note: Because Santa is a FistSim, he’ll only use Lasers on Short Range Stream. The beam is one of his magical powers, which he is using to fight off the terrorists.

Blank Teams: Player 1 and Santa vs. the rest Soundtrack: Air Base X, Crash Site X Description: This is a very easy scenario, even with such a dumb simulant on your team. All of the weapons appear in the right spots - spots where they are a little hard to use. The terrorists aren’t too bright and usually just run into your gun. If you want the game to be harder you can just up the difficulty of the terrorists. Also, the music seems to fit in perfectly when playing. If you didn’t understand the story as to why this scenario is King of the Hill, it’s because the hill area is where the reindeer are going to pick up Santa. You and Santa are trying to stay there to get picked up and the terrorists are trying to stay there to slaughter the reindeer. I made this, even though it’s a little kiddy, out of the Christmas spirit. Hope you enjoy it!

Normal-SpeedSim 5. Normal-PreySim 6. Perfect-TurtleSim 7-8. Blank Teams: Disabled Soundtrack: A51 Rescue Explanation: What makes this scenario so hard is the equaled out weaponry combined with a huge level and many simulants bent on winning. All of the weapons were either placed in hard-to-use areas or easy-to-use areas. The Falcon 2 (scope) appears in two spots where a scope can come in handy. The DY357 Magnum appears in three places, all of which are hard areas to use the gun in. The Sniper Rifle appears in two areas. One is in a decent sniping spot and the other is on a high perch over looking the whole level, which is perfect for sniping, though it is very treacherous to get there. The Laser was just popped in for the FistSim, and with One-Hit Kills on, the FistSim is a very deadly adversary. The Shotgun is hard to come by, as is its ammo. All of the simulants go for it, few get it and keep it. The simulants each have a special role in this scenario too. The FistSim is one of your deadliest foes because when he gets his hands on a Laser, he’s almost invincible. His beam stretches very far. The ShieldSim will take an extra hit to bring down so that makes him very deadly. The PeaceSim is the great equalizer. He will run around punching everyone and taking their weapons. The SpeedSim is a hard-to-hit target and he also springs upon you and kills you in an instant, so you’ll have to be cautious. The PreySim always seems to go for the Shotgun and usually uses surprise attacks on you. And lastly, the TurtleSim will be the hardest to bring down. He has to be hit twice to be killed, and because of his high difficulty level, he’s very sneaky. ----- Heightened Senses II: Loss of Vision *** Players: 1-2 Scenario: Capture the Case Options: No Radar, No Auto-Aim Arena: Felicity Weapons: 1.

Teams: Player 1 and Player 2 (or NormalSim if playing solo) vs. two teams consisting of two PerfectSims Soundtrack: Deep Sea X Description: In the Felicity, the cramped halls and slow-opening doors make for some intense battles. The fact that there are many weapons that distort vision makes this even worse. Also even worse, is the fact that the N-Bomb has a blast radius that can stretch through walls. The many doors in the level make the Callisto NTG the most effective weapon around because of its ability to shoot through them. The Cloaking Device is the core of the offense, with such a small level you can run from one side to the other before its twenty seconds are up. Each base has its own weapon either located within or very nearby, adding to the tension of capturing a base’s case. ----- Race for the LX! **** Players: 1-4 Scenario: Hold the Briefcase Options: Fast Movement, No Radar, No Auto-Aim, Kills Score Arena: G5 Building Weapons: 1. N-Bomb 2. Nothing 3. Combat Boost 4. N-Bomb 5. Shield 6. DY357-LX Limits: Time: 10 minutes Simulants: 0-3, for a total of 4 players Teams: Disabled Soundtrack: Your choice Description: The idea behind this scenario is a chaotic race for the LX. It’s the only weapon you can do any real damage with, so it will obviously be the most wanted gun. It appears on a ramp in one of the main rooms, with N-Bombs below it, so opposing players can bomb the one wielding it. The many N-Bombs scattered about make it quite hard to hold onto the LX, or any weapon for that matter. With the scenario being Hold the Briefcase, and being able to kill opponents for points, makes holding the case quite frustrating. It also eliminates camping, as someone can camp with the case and earn a single point every thirty seconds, while players on the other side of the level could be scoring twice as much. Warning: Do not activate a Combat Boost after the ten-second countdown starts, or else the game will freeze. Note: Yes, I am letting you pick the simulant types and difficulties for this setup. If you want maximum craziness though, use KazeSims! ----- This scenario was created by me and a friend. It is based around the forces used in many of the games and movies. If you've ever played Dark Forces II for PC then you should be familiar with them. Star Wars: Force Battles *** Note: To get the full effect of this scenario, player two (or just player two’s controller) must be a part of the game. This must be done so that that when knives are thrown at you, they cause your vision to blur. This adds “Force Blinding” to the game.

You have received word that one chemical, being shipped in later tonight, is highly dangerous, and being exposed to it for just a few minutes would kill you. So they have put you on guard, with a few other guards, to make sure that the shipments make it through to the facility safely. Little do you know how valuable the chemical is… That night, while you’re at your post, you hear noise coming from down the hallway. You walk down the hall to check it out. “Hello?” you call out, but no one answers. All of a sudden, you see someone in the loft above you! A bullet flies by your head, barely missing you! Just then another bullet flies by your left arm from behind you, barely missing you again! You aim up and shoot the man above you, then roll to your right behind a wall. You turn on your intercom and request backup from the other guards, saying that terrorists have broken in and are most likely after the chemical. They reply saying they are on their way. As you pop a new clip into your gun, you ready yourself for a tense battle… Players: 1 Scenario: Combat Options: One-Hit Kills, Display Team, No Auto-Aim, No Player Highlight, No Pickup Highlight Arena: Pipes Weapons: 1.

Blank Teams: Player 1 and simulants 1-3 vs. simulants 4-6 Player Costume: CI Soldier with any head Soundtrack: A51 Escape X Explanation: Terrorists have broken into the facility and are attempting to obtain the chemical. In order for this to be done, they have to eliminate you, and your fellow guards, first. I chose the Pipes for this scenario because it has the “chemical facility feel” to it. It also has three floors, making it a good place for a SWAT type scenario. And you may think that with radar on, this will be an easily won scenario. But think again, the radar is harder to read because of the three floors. Now here come the weapon explanations. All of the weapons chosen have been chosen because they resemble weapons that would be used in this type of situation. Most of them are self-explanatory, but you may be wondering why the Sniper Rifle and Falcon 2 (scope) have been included. The Sniper Rifle appears on the highest floor of the arena, making it quite a valuable weapon. On top of that, it appears in a very long hallway that has an opening that is actually a drop-off to another room, making that area perfect for sniping. The Falcon 2 (scope) appears on a platform next to the pipes on the basement floor of the arena. The scope can be useful for the large portion of the level it appears in, and there is a drop-off right above the pipes so it can be used for taking out any snipers above you. Tips: -Don’t get caught climbing a ladder at any time. You are very vulnerable while doing so, as you move slowly and it is harder to aim. -Remember that you can shoot through the red catwalks. A lot of times, you’ll encounter enemies on these catwalks, located above or below you, giving you the perfect chance to take him out! -Remember that you have simulants on your team. It is a good idea to protect them and give them commands. ----- Deadly Adversary II: Difficulty Uprising ***** Players: 1 Scenario: Combat Options: One-Hit Kills, No Radar, No Auto-Aim, No Player Highlight, No Pickup Highlight *Note: For extra fun, try using Smart Slow Motion – it’s fun dodging the rockets in slow motion!

Normal-RocketSim 4. Perfect-TurtleSim 5. Dark-PeaceSim 6-8. Blank Teams: Disabled Soundtrack: A51 Escape Explanation: This is the sequel to an older scenario of mine, Deadly Adversary. Deadly Adversary was a very hard game, in that the weapons were equaled out and strategically placed, and there were many challenging simulants running around bent on winning. In this sequel, I have taken the challenge one step further… In the first Adversary, a Falcon 2 (scope) occupied slot one, as it appeared in areas where a scope could be useful. Well, the Falcon is still there, but the scope isn’t. This makes it harder for you to hit your enemies. I left the Magnum in slot two, as it appears in long range areas with multiple entrances. Even with two of these, you’ll still have a hard time holding your ground. In the last Adversary, there was a Sniper Rifle in slot three, as it appeared in the two most perfect spots for sniping. Now slot three contains a Laser. The Laser’s accuracy is just about average, but it has no zoom capabilities whatsoever. Also, with the FistSim included in the game, he’ll use it on Short Range Stream, and his beam has the ability to stretch clear across the level! The Sniper Rifle has been switched to slot four. It appears in two very high traffic areas, where sniping can barely be done, if at all. The two areas it appears in are completely surrounded with entrances, as they are right in the middle of the level. The Shotgun has been moved to slot five, now enforcing long range targeting. May I remind you that the Shotgun is terrible at long range. And lastly, the Slayer has been added and put in slot six. It appears near the middle of the level, in a dangerous area. This makes it dangerous to use Fly-By-Wire missiles, which is something the RocketSim will be doing a lot. Many times, you will find yourself turning a corner, and staring dead-on at a missile! Also, if you’re anywhere near the blast radius, you will die instantly. Now as if the weapons don’t complicate the scenario enough, here come the simulants. The FistSim has been kept from the first Adversary, as he can become your deadliest foe when he has his hands on a Laser. As I said before, the beam can stretch clear across the level! The CowardSim has been included to add a bit of wonder to the game. Since all of the weapons are fairly strong, will he run from you or fight you? Are you going to take the chance to find out? The RocketSim is the newest and best addition to the scenario. He will mainly try to get his hands on a Slayer, in which he will usually use Fly-By-Wire missiles to hunt down his enemies and kill them from a distance. As I said before, many times, you will find yourself turning a corner, and staring dead-on at a missile! The Perfect-TurtleSim has been kept from the first Adversary to complicate matters. Even though he moves slowly, don’t underestimate him. He has a shield, so he will take an extra hit to bring down. Plus, his difficulty level is very high, making him quite accurate with any weapon. And lastly, the PeaceSim has been kept from the first Adversary, but his difficulty level has been brought up tremendously. At Dark, he is very fast, and will take away your weapon in an instant. ----- Outbreak – Surviving The Tests ***** You work for a corporation that handles biological testing. This also includes viral testing. During one viral experiment, the test subjects mutated. They mutated into what resembles large insects. This is the case for both the male and female subjects. During another viral experiment, the test subject completely mutated. Its body became small and gray, while the head enlarged. All subjects showed extreme aggression… One night while working in the lab you hear a scream and the sound of glass breaking. You rush through the halls until you find the source of the commotion. The experiments. The experiments are loose and feeding. It’s up to you to stop them before they escape and multiply, but can you survive?

Blank Teams: Player 1 (Red) vs. all (Brown) Soundtrack: dataDyne Research X, A51 Escape Explanation: This is a tension scenario. The arena is very small and compact, and it’s six on one. The simulants will enjoy surrounding you, and making you really think of a way out. The Shotgun appears in the main hallway. You will find it extremely hard to camp by, because there are an extremely large number of entrances surrounding it. Sometimes you may be able to camp in the back halls near it, but good luck doing that for long. The subjects tend to come from each and every hall to overpower you. The reason I chose the Joanna Trench Coat outfit to go with the brown helmet is because it gives a good insect feel. And the males are just more muscular. Tips: -Don’t bother climbing up the knocked over blue tower to hide. No ammo appears in that room and the subjects can still hit you. Likewise, if you respawn in the closet room, run. No ammo appears there either, so you are seriously stuck. -If you see a subject with knives, stay away from it. Simulants switch functions instantly, so they will cut you fast. And with 20% health, one slash will take you down. -Stay on the move. Camping usually just puts you in a tough spot, and tough spots are hard to get out of (alive). Experience of mine I’d like to share: I respawn right next to the Shotgun, so I run over and grab it. I set it to Double Blast. I turn and see a female subject ready to throw some knives at me. After blasting at it a couple times, it throws a knife directly at me the same time I pull the trigger. The first blast knocks the knife out of the air (which would’ve hit and killed me) and the second blast hits and kills the subject. Very cool. ----- This scenario was created by me and a friend. I lost the original, but have done my best to recreate it. Predator *** Players: 1 Options: Fast Movement, No Radar, No Auto-Aim, No Player Highlight, No Pickup Highlight Arena: Ravine Weapons: 1. Combat Knife 2. Falcon 2 (scope) 3. Sniper Rifle 4. Cloaking Device 5. Cloaking Device 6. Laser Limits: Score: 10 Simulants: 1 Dark-PreySim – A51 Guard body with brown helmet Teams: Disabled Soundtrack: Skedar Ruins Description: This scenario is partially based around fear. The Predator is a Dark-PreySim, so he will usually try to sneak up behind you to attack, and he moves pretty fast with such a high difficulty level. Fast Movement also intensifies everything. The Predator will usually be cloaked, so you’ve got to keep your eyes open for him, especially since he blends into the level anyway with his brown costume and helmet. The Predator will also usually use the Laser, or a Falcon 2. This forces you to try to keep up and get good weapons so that you can fight back, which helps eliminate camping. Lastly, the player is not allowed to cloak. That ruins the whole feel to the game and makes it far too easy. ----- Fear ***** Players: 1 Scenario: Combat Options: Smart Slow Motion, Fast Movement, No Radar, No Auto-Aim, No Player Highlight, No Pickup Highlight Arena: Ruins Weapons: 1. Combat Knife 2. Falcon 2 3. Nothing 4. Sniper Rifle 5. Cloaking Device 6. Combat Knife Limits: Time: 15 minutes, Score: 10 Simulants: 1 Dark-SpeedSim – Mr. Blonde body with white Biotechnician mask Teams: Disabled Soundtrack: A51 Rescue Explanation: I have had this setup saved to my game pack for a long time. I find it to be extremely tense, and it’s probably the scariest setup I have played. Your opponent is blazingly fast (DarkSims are fast enough, but this guy is also a SpeedSim) and you will feel very slow compared to him. Fast Movement will only make him seem faster, as well. Luckily, Smart Slow Motion is on, so you will know when he is nearby (even if he is cloaked) and you’ll have a chance to react. The Smart Slow Motion also intensifies these encounters. The stalling doors make for some very tense escape situations. The weapons also make this scenario quite stressful. The Falcons don’t appear near each other, so you’ve got to traverse the level to get doubles. The Sniper Rifle appears in two spots, only one of which will allow you get any use out of it. Thus, camping might not be the best idea. There are also Combat Knives scattered about, which may give you the upper hand if you can throw one into your opponent in an attempt to blind him. Lastly, there is the Cloaking Device which only appears in one dangerous hallway. However, the player is not allowed to cloak. This makes the scenario too easy, and takes all the fear out of it. ----- The Most Stressful 2 Minutes of PD (Created by PD Savage) There is no story to go with this. There are no costumes, and I am not even going to suggest tracks from the playlist. "Why?" you ask? Because I set out this morning to try to make a new scenario with the best possible ratio of set up time to enjoyment. In other words, I wanted it to be quick to set up, but fun to play (with a lot of replay value). Here is what I came up with: Players: 1-4 Scenario: Hill Options: One-Hit Kills, Display Team, No Auto-Aim, NO Kills Score, Hill on Radar, Hill Time: 120 seconds (2 minutes) Arena: Pipes Note: Some people like to play this on Temple or Complex. I personally like Pipes the best, but if you want a slightly different experience give it a try in the Temple or Complex. Weapons: Custom: 1. Falcon 2 2. Falcon 2 (silencer) 3. Falcon 2 (scope) 4. DY357 Magnum 5. Shotgun 6. Mauler Limits: Team Score: 1 (yes, 1) Player Handicaps: None (100%) Simulants: 1:Easy TurtleSim 2:Easy TurtleSim 3:Easy TurtleSim 4:Easy TurtleSim 5:Meat SpeedSim 6:-/-Replace any missing humans with NormalSims. 7:-|-Make sure that NormalSims+Humans=4. 8:-\-If the real players are new to PD, use EasySims instead. Teams: Sims 1-5: Brown Team All other players should be on their own teams (1 person teams) Explanation: In this scenario, I have basically combined RE: No Relief (the Easy TurtleSims and stress) with *Competitive* Hunting 2 (1 person teams), and adjusted it to work for King of the Hill. Finally, it has all been adapted to One-Hit Kills with pistols (a classic favorite). To sum up the last paragraph (as I know it must have confused someone): I have tried to combine everything that people like into one little scenario. All of the weapons have intentionally been put in spots where they are difficult to use successfully - this forces (well, encourages) players to take a long detour to grab the best weapon for where the hill is, buying the person on defense a few precious seconds. You may assume that a good player can hold the hill for the two minutes against his friends and some EasySims on the first time. While *remotely* possible, this is VERY unlikely. Try it - you will be surprised at how long a single match can last. The EasySims may have horrible aim, but their shield can give them enough time to nail you with a shotgun in close quarters. Also, the SpeedSim, while virtually harmless, will keep harassing you when you are trying to hold the hill - making you vulnerable to attacks from behind! One last note: If the Hill happens to be a tiny corner joint of a hallway or something, just restart to get a new hill. Certain hill locations are so small that figiting Sims are unable to hold them. ----- Weak Alliance (Created by PD Savage) You WILL like this, and you WILL save it to play later. Trust me. No gimmicks, no goofy themes... Just serious, intense, well planned gameplay. Scenario: Combat Players: 3 or 4 Options: One-Hit Kills, No Radar, no highlights, no auto-aim For Spice (100% optional): Fast Movement & Smart Slo-Mo Arena: Grid Weapons: Custom 1: Phoenix 2: Laptop Gun 3: FarSight XR-20 4: Shield 5: Remote Mine 6: Slayer Player Handicaps: None (100%) Simulants: None (they cannot use Farsight, Slayer, Laptop Gun, or remote mines well, so they SUCK at this) Teams: No permanent, official teams should be formed/enforced. Just make and break them as you go. Explanations: The idea of this scenario is that people will constantly ally, fight together, stab one another in the back, lie, ally with the other guy... Many powerful weapons have been thrown into the mix, so it is impossible to win if you do not ally every once in awhile, but at the same time, it is very tempting to shoot someone who trusts you (FARSIGHT!). Just make sure no one takes the game too seriously... Every part of this scenario has been set up to keep things as interesting as possible. The level is cramped (to give people without a Farsight a chance in hell), but complex enough to keep things fun for these powerful weapons. Every weapon has a reason for being in the slot that it is in, so do not switch them around. (The weapons are great, trust me.) JUST TRY THIS before you say anything about it. It is pretty quick to set up, and there is only one option to consider (the Fast Motion & Smart Slo-Mo together can add some interest). Save it to your memory card or the game pak - you will not regret it!. ----- Doors Can’t Hold Me, You Can’t Either (Created by PD Savage) This is based on a scenario called "Save the President,"posted by Twistydog, so if you enjoy this, you probably should check out his post, too! Players: 3-4 Scenario: Combat Arena: Felicity Options: No Auto-Aim, No Radar, Smart Slow Mo, Fast Movement, No Player/Pickup Highlights Limits: Kills: 25 Kills (Individual, even if playing with teams) Team Score: 35 Kills (turn on both for 4 player matches) Weapons: Custom: 1.DY-357 2.X-Ray Scanner 3.DY-357 LX 4.Callisto NTG 5.DY-357 6.X-Ray Scanner Handicaps: None Simulants: None Teams: If 4 players, 2 on 2, otherwise, 1 on 1 on 1 Explanation: This level has a butt load of doors, and nearly all of the areas are claustrophobic. All weapons in this setup fire through doors (The NTG only does it with the High Impact Shells function). X-Ray Scanners are lying around in 3 spots that are a bit out of the way, but you will have a serious problem if you do not pick one up. A majority of the kills in this match will end up going through the doors, especially with the NTG and the Gold Magnum, so grab an X-Ray Scanner if you want to know what is going on around you. You are VERY vulnerable to people camping behind doors, since the Smart Slo Mo and Fast Movement prevents you from just sprinting by their door. With 4 players, you can make for even teams of 2, which can REALLY complicate matters, because it can be quite difficult to identify another person's team by looking through a door with an X-Ray Scanner (Plus, no radar!). To make things even worse, the kill limit to win is still lower per individual (One person alone can win it for the team faster if he hogs all the kills!). So a team with 2 mediocre players will put up a very interesting fight with a team that has 1 good player and 1 rookie. This match can even work out to be a struggle from both sides if the setup is 3 vs. 1, since the one person does not need to get as many kills as the team members have to work together to earn. ----- The Ultimate Scenario Scenario Authors: EdTheJanitor37 The True PD Savage Twisted Marionette catch22boy Agent 00 Ranstallion * This is called "The Ultimate Scenario" because ideas from several people went into making it.

These should be played with one player, because the number of simulants won't allow for two without framerate problems. Unless stated otherwise, all of the limits should be set to unlimites unless otherwise noted under "limits" Obtions should be no radar, human vs. sims, highlight teams OFF, unlimited points, and all other options set to default, Unless it says otherwise. Soundtracks should be set to fit the level. ----- Mission 1- dataDyne Central: Extraction Scenario: Combat Arena: Pipes Limits: 10 minutes Weapons: Falcon 2 (silencer), CMP150, Shield, Dragon, Shotgun, Falcon 2 Simulants: 1 easy cowardsim (Cassandra), 1 easysim (dD infantry), 1 easysim (dD security), 1 normal kazesim (shock trooper), 1 normalsim (dD trooper), 1 easy kazesim (female bodyguard), 1 easy peacesim (dD scientist) The pipes are designed to look like the basement of the dadaDyne building, so they naturally make a good setting for the first mission. Your job is simply to stay alive until the dropship can come and pick you up. The major difference this time is that you get to kill Cassandra and the Scientist! The sims to watch out for are the two normalsims and the female bodyguard. ----- Mission 2- Carrington Villa: Hostage One Scenario: Combat Arena: Villa Weapons: Sniper Rifle, CMP150, Shield, Devastator, Laptop Gun, CMP150 Simulants: 2 easy fistsims (negotiator, Carrington), 2 normal cowardsims (dD snipers), 1 easysim (dD infantry), 1 normalsim (shock trooper) Limits: 20 team points Teams: You, Carrington, and the negotiator against the dataDyne team. Your goal is simple- protect the negotiator and Carrington while eliminating all hostiles. The game ends when all of the members of the dD team have been killed. The weapons aren't in convenient spots, so you'll have to set up very carefully if you want to camp. The key to winning here is to protect the two friendlies, they will get mowed down. Perfect Agent Mode: This time you are the negotiator. You only have to protect Daniel, but you face a much tougher squad this time. Settings: No negotiator, bump up all of the sims one difficulty level, except Carrington. All other settings are the same. ----- Mission 3.1- Chicago: Stealth Scenario: Combat Arena: Sewers Weapons: Falcon 2 (scope), CMP150, DY357 Magnum, Shield, Remote Mine, Falcon 2 (scope) Simulants: 1 normalsim (G5 Guard), 1 hardsim (G5 Swat Guard), 1 normal cowardsim (FBI agent), 1 easy peacesim (CIA Agent), 1 normal turtlesim (dinner jacket and brown helmet- security bot) Teams: You vs. sims vs. security bot. Limits: 10 minutes Story: You are a CI soldier placed in Chicago to protect one of the institute's star agents as she infiltrates the G5 building. She has already downloaded a virus into the security bot that causes it to fire on the G5 troops, but be careful, as it will still fire upon you as well. Your job is to hold off the troops for as long as possible, preventing them from interfering with our agent on the streets. You will recieve the all clear when she has entered the car park successfully. Good luck. ----- Mission 3.2- G5 Building: Reconnaisance Scenario: Hold the Briefcase Options: Display on radar OFF, kills score (OFF) Arena: G5 Weapons: Falcon 2 (silencer), CMP150, Cloaking Device, Dy357 Magnum, Cloaking Device, Shield. Simulants: 1 easysim, 1 normalsim (both G5 guards), 2 Hard Kazesims (G5 SWAT guard) Limits: 10 team points The briefcase is Dr. Carrol's personality. Your job is to obtain it, and keep it with you for 5 minutes while Grimshaw scans it to a backup at the institute. The enemy cannot be allowed to obtain the case for more that that amount of time, because they will erase Dr. Carrol's personality if they do. Use the stolen cloaking devices wisely, as you face dangerous opposition in their SWAT team. Make good use of the weapons that you can find. ----- Mission 4.1- Area 51: Infiltration Scenario: Combat Arena: Area 52 Weapons: Falcon 2, Magsec 4, Grenade, Shield, Dragon, disabled Simulants: 2 normalsims (area 51 trooper), 1 easy kazesim (A51 guard), 1 easy rocketsim (A51 pilot), 1 hardsim (A51 pilot) Limits: 30 team points I really like this one. It's a long battle for survival, much like the solo mission. When you see tan, you know it's a normal sim, but when you see blue, you don't know whether to duck for cover from a Hardsim or not. The easy guard can give you double MagSec 4s, just like he does in the solo mission, and the rocketsim means you have to constantly watch out fo grenades and land mines (proxy dragon) just like in the mission. Have fun! ----- Mission 4.2- Area 51: Lockdown Scenario: Combat Arena: Warehouse Limits: 15 minutes Weapons: Dy357 magnum, SuperDragon, Dragon, Phoenix, Tranquilizer. (The warehouse has no 6th weapon slot, so don't bother.) Simulants: 1 Normal fistsim (elvis), 1 Hard Kazesim (Johnathan in disguise), 1 Perfect CowardSim (Joanna labtech), 1 hardsim (A51 guard), 1 hardsim (A51 pilot), 1 dark peacesim (biotechnician), 1 easysim (overalls) Teams: Elvis, Johnathan, and Joanna vs. guard, pilot, biotech, overalls, and you. Yes, you're a bad guy. My personal favorite, you get to be the bad guys. You simply have to contain the 3 fugitives until the interceptors can be deployed outside the base, thus completing the lockdown. In order for this to happen, however, you must protect the technitcian who maintains the interceptors. You will have help from the security, and the doctors inside the base will also do their best. The simulant setup here is really brilliant. Elvis can be dangerous, but is largely stupid. Johnathan is formidable, but seckless. Joanna is, of course, a perfectsim, she is only a cowardsim because she's stealthy and likes to avoid getting caught. Your team can also be very helpful. You have the idiot techie to protect, but you have 2 hardsims to help you do it, and a peacesim to help equalize things. ----- Mission 5.1- Air Base: Espionage Scenario: Capture the Case Arena: Base Limits: 1 team point Weapons: Crossbow, Dragon, Disabled, K7 Avenger, Proxy Mines, Shield Simulants: 2 Normalsims (NSA Lackey), 2 Normal Kazesims (NSA Bodyguard) This game can be very short or very long, depending on how you play it. Here's the story: you are an inside agent at the Alaskan airbase for the Carrington Institute. Your cover has been blown, but you have been able to get in contact with the institute, and Carrington has instructed you to go recover your confiscated equipment, and take it back to the hiding place, where it will be recovered by Agent Dark. You also have obtained evidence of the conspiracy (your case) which cannot be slipped back into enemy hands. ----- Mission 6- Deep Sea: Combat Scenario: Combat Arena: Ravine Limits: 20 Minutes Weapons: Falcon 2 (scope), CMP150, Shotgun, Laptop Gun, Cloaking Device, Farsight XR-20 Simulants: 1 darksim (Elvis), 1 each easy, normal, hard, perfect sims (all in Pellagic II outfits) Teams: You and Elvis Vs. the Pellagic II guards. Long range strategic combat is the deal here. Obviously, the shotgun is not necessarily the weapon of choice in the ravine, but the sims will still cloak and use it on you. You are inside the giant ship, fighting off the guards so that Elvis can disable the megaweapon. ----- Mission 7- Carrington Institute: Defense Scenario: Combat Arena: Felicity Limits: 5 minutes Weapons: AR34, K7 Avenger, Shield, Combat Boost, Combat Boost, RC-P120 Simulants: 2 hard shieldsims (Shock troopers without helmet), 1 hardsim (Mr. Blonde), 1 normal fistsim (Grimshaw), 1 normalsim (CI Soldier), 1 perfect Vengesim (Joanna party dress) Team: Hardsims (dD) vs. you and everybody else. (CI) You have a challenge here. The Facility can get cramped, especially with only automatic weapons, and the hardsims are pretty good opponents. 5 minutes seems short, but it's long enough. Joanna will help with the killing, but she'll always be after someone, and not too easy to command. Grimshaw is the real guy to protect here, but the soldier will need some help, too. Like the level, this is a real adrenaline rush of a scenario, much like the next one- ----- Mission 8- Attack Ship: Covert Assault Scenario: King of the Hill Options: No radar, hill time 120 seconds. Limits: 1 point Arena: Skedar Weapons: Mauler, AR34, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Simulants: 2 Normal Kazesims (Mr. Blonde), 2 Normal Cowardsims (Blonde), 1 hardsim (Elvis) Teams: You and Elvis vs. sims. The challenge here is to quikly find a weapon, then take it to the hill, and hold the "bridge" for two minutes. The Coward sims will not attack you unless they're armed, but the Kazesims will stop at nothing. This gets very tough with all of the sims. Using Elvis as a teammate will really help you. ----- Mission 9- Skedar Ruins: Battle Shrine Scenario: Combat. Limits: 7 minutes Options: Player handicap 400% Arena: Ruins Weapons: Combat Knife, Callisto NTG, Phoenix, Reaper, Cloaking Device, Slayer Simulants: 1 normal fistsim, 1 easy rocketsim, 1 hard turtlesim, 1 easy kazesim (all Mr. Blonde). Teams: You vs. sims Your job is to kill the skedar king. (turtlesim) You'll have to hold off his army for 20 minutes until the Maian fleet arrives. If you die once, or fail to kill the king before the time expires, you lose. This scenario can be rather frustrating, because the sims will team up. The knives aren't much use to you, but the fistsims can be deadly with them. --------------- --------------- Section 3- Legal Stuff DISCLAIMER This FAQ is all my work, except for the exceptions listed in the credits.
