THE MAIN SCREEN
───────────────
Shows up to five terminator windows
Shows map on left side
Shows movement pad on right side
Shows Freeze Button,Freeze Time Left Bar, and Squad Switch Buttons
on bottom rigthand corner
MOVEMENT & ATTACK
─────────────────
You can use the arrow keys or use the mouse by clickin on the movement
arrows on the movement pad (right side of main screen). The little circle
in the middle is a fire button (LMB).
You can also move the mouse pointer to the left, top, or right of the
screen and a little arrow should show up, clicking the LBM will do that
action.
HINT: In a long corridor/hallway you can fire all the way down the hall
and kill enemies not seen on screen. This is very helpful if you are just
sitting there and know a bunch of aliens are approaching.
HINT: I have noticed that fast repetitive firing is not very effective,
use short burst in varied positions, it only takes one shot to kill the
enemy, so wasting 10 shots on the floor is gonna get you wasted. Also,
movement seems to be hampered by shooting too fast, so make short controlled
burst. (Geez, sound like a freakin' army dude!)
In the main screen you can see what is going on with the other terminators.
YOU CAN make the guy fire the weapon by pressing the LMB on the window
of the terminator you want to use.
When aliens are close up, terminators use hand-to-hand combat, if they
are equipped with good hand-to-hand combat weapons, then they have a good
chance of winning, but the dudes with blasters usually loose. I just
push the LMB like hell when I am up close.
SWITCHING TERMINATORS and SQUADS
────────────────────────────────
In the main screen, just press the RMB on the terminator you want to
control. Your old current terminator switches windows with the one
you selected.
In order to switch squads (if you have more than one), click on the
Squad Switch button (it looks like an exclamation point on a striped
background, lower right corner of the screen, or left upper corner on the
detailed map screen)
DETAILED MAP SCREEN
───────────────────
In order to get here, push the RMB on the map while on the main screen,
(its the left lower window on the main screen).
Once here, use the arrow keys to move around the map.
With this screen you can tell your guys where to go and what to do. Just
select the terminator you want to use and click on where you want him to
go (LMB). You can do it step by step or in one big step. I think you get a
total of four different movements for each guy (like move to here, turn,
move to here). You'll see, its not hard.
HINT: When moving your guys, make sure you are not having one guy wait
for another to move that is not going to move. The default path for a
dude is not always the one you want. All you have to do is select a
different point to get around the guy and then move to where you want
to go.
The top of this screen has a few buttons. There are two turn buttons,
one is turn to the right and one is turn to the left. Use these to make
your guy turn a certain way after he moves to where he needs to move (if
you need him to). Ok, then there's two door things, open door and close
door. (I personally never used these) Just use them the same way, move
to an area, click on open/close door and whatever.
Underneath those buttons you should see some more. One is line of site,
another is change squad, and another is erase last movement (in caes you
mess up). All these are pretty self-explanatory. There is also a 'GO'
button in which you can see your dudes move around in a top-view fashion.
HINT: If you want a guy to follow you, you can make him go to a certain
point, but keep your guy in front of him and go to that point. The guy
will go behind you b/c he is waiting for you to move. I used this
technique a few times so that I had my men with me (behind me) and then
they would split up after they reach the desired point.
HINT: You can use this screen to get an extended view of your surrounding
area. This way, you can tell if there are any enemy dudes around you,
the normal map screen shows less.
OTHER TERMINATORS
─────────────────
The other terminators will automatically fight on there own. The only
weapons that I don't think they will use automatically is the flame
thrower.
WEAPONS
───────
Blaster - Fires long range, standard weapon (automatic)
Flame Thrower - Kills everything in a 3 square radius, will kill your
own terminators too though. You get 6 of these
AC (dont know what it is) - you get 10, its a projectile weapon (automatic)
Axe and Claws - Hand to hand, they kick, you can crush enemies, but
if you miss, C-YA!
(I trust the blaster...)
automatic means that the terminator will use it automatically (without
you having to fire for him)
PICKING UP ITEMS
───────────────
Put the pointer on the object and press the RMB, if you push the RMB later
and the pointer is on the floor, you can drop the object
OPENING/CLOSING DOORS
─────────────────────
Moving the mouse pointer to the left or right of the screen (the arrow
should come up), and then pressing the RMB.
Right = Close Door
Left = Open Door
(Note: This is how you secure an area)
FREEZE BAR
──────────
When in freeze mode, everything stops, it lets you think and plan your
attack. You will probably use this most while in the detailed map
screen.
FREEZE TIME BAR
───────────────
This bar shows how much freeze time you have left, it regenerates while
you are in 'live' action and decreases while in freeze mode.
