GAME INTERFACE 2 4/13/2006
At the bottom and top of the screen are 2 black bars where youll receive different types of information. On the top bar, different hints to help you during a mission will be displayed. There can be indications about your current objective, tips on how to use a weapon, etc. On the bottom bar, there are several important elements. Your life bar is located on the lower left side. When the bar is full and green, it means you are at full health. As you take damage, your life bar will start to go down. You can avoid taking damage by staying under cover or you can replenish your life bar by picking up Med Packs dropped by fallen soldiers. The second element is the icon representing your equipped weapon. Press * to cycle through the weapons in your inventory and your character will automatically equip the selected weapon. The third element on the bottom black bar is the ammunition icon for the selected weapon. When the icon turns red, your character will automatically reload the weapon. If you run out of ammo for a weapon type, you cant shoot with that weapon anymore. You might find ammo during the missions, but not always, so dont waste it: shoot to kill. Only the jeep and tank machine guns have unlimited ammo. An important element of the interface used during combat situations is the crosshairs. When the crosshairs are near a valid target, they will automatically lock on that target and turn red. Shoot when this happens. As a soldier, you can enter aim mode with any weapon by pressing 0. This will help you eliminate your targets quicker, but youll be unable to move. In aim mode, you can move the camera to aim precisely at your target, so the autoaim feature is not available when aiming. When entering aim mode with the sniper rifle, the special Snipe Mode is activated, allowing you to shoot enemies from a great distance. You can zoom in and out on your unsuspecting target with the 2 and 8 keys. Objectives during a mission may vary from going to different locations and eliminating enemy infantry troops to destroying enemy armored vehicles and positions. All these objectives are indicated by Objective Icons. An objective icon will almost always be displayed on the screen during missions, showing you either the general direction of your destination or the enemies you must eliminate. They also show you the distance that separates you from your current objective. Follow these indicators as they are your best guide around the area. However, keep in mind that sometimes you might be left with no indicator youre on your own then.
