[3] Gameplay notes


This mod has a somewhat more realistic weapon system: shooting while jumping is a lot less accurate than a shot from a steady position, and continuous shooting is less accurate. The accuracy of your current weapon is shown through the size of your crosshair: smaller is more accurate. For weapons with lasersights the wobble in the laser shows accuracy, and the laser becomes brighter when the player is steady.




[4] Weapon list


"Atrom-B" Sniper Rifle

Even though Atrom is mainly a manufacturer of vehicle-mounted weapons, it's expertise in the use of very powerfull guns comes to good use when producing high-powered sniper rifle. t's fast reloading system, integrated scope and high accuracy make the Atrom-B a very effective long-ranged rifle.

"Butterfly" Grenade Launcher
This was long thought to be the weapon of the future: a grenade launcher whith built in rangefinder and electronic timed fuse, making the grenade explode at a set distance. Using an 'Iron Storm' design allows it to be portable, but also makes it impossible to reload it in the field. A small display will show the set distance in the upper right corner of your HUD.

"Berry" Flashbang
When killing isn't an option, flashbangs are used to disorient dangerous elements. They quickly found their way to the Alpha Ghosts, as they know a blinded enemy is soon a dead enemy...

"Candlelighter" Flamethrower
Modern flamers are designed to work under all circumstances. To make this possible a seperate oxygen reservoir is added to the flamer, allowing it to fire in vaccuum and underwater. Designed and manufactured by McGraw, known for it's creativity.

"CX-24 Azazel" Light Machinegun
Corral Explosives is a relatively young weapon manufacturer (started in 2167), but has enlisted the help of various designers from well-known concurrents. This probably explains it's succesfull range of machineguns, such as the CX-24.

"CX-50 Mammoth" Heavy Machinegun
When covering fire is needed, the Mammoth does the job. Featuring a large magazine of 52 bullets, a long range and a fairlylightweight design, this gun is one of the best heavy machineguns available.

"Marsden Grenade"
Grenades haven't changed much over time. The only widespread improvement is the inclusion of a gas-state detonator, originally designed by Jerrold Industries. This reduces the weight of the grenade, making it easier to throw the grenade a long distance. This design was first introduced during the Marsden Incident (June 2116), and has become standard issue for all Alpha Ghost squads.

Combat Knife
Knifes always come in handy. If it isn't for slicing bread or meat, it's for throwing them at enemies. Very cheap, and easy to get, almost everyone uses them. A well aimed knife can do serious of damage.

"Wesley MK 2" Automatic Pistol (Upgraded CX-10)
While pistols aren't very impressive, their light weight, fast reload and high accuracy make up for this. The Wesley Corporation doesn't manufacture weapons themselves, but add upgrades to common weapons. The Wesley MK 2 is an updated CX-10, with added gyronomic stabilisers, 20% larger clips and improved trigger design.

"Wesley MK 12" Shotgun (Upgraded)
An upgraded version of a shotgun, manufacturer unknown. Each shot contains 12 pellets, 8 shots in a clip. Best used in urban conditions, making it easy to get close to the target. Not very effective at long range, but devasting when close.




[5] Hints/tips


-Don't use heavy weapons when wounded, as you can't shoot accurately with them.
-When your screen is blueish, you're confused, and can't shoot as accurate. This will wear of over time.
-When your screen is red, you're heavily wounded.
-When your screen is white, you're blinded. This will wear of, but try to attract as little attention as possible when blinded!
-Don't mix drugs, it's bad for you.
