- 3. CONFIGURING YOUR CONTROLS
- ---------------------------------------
- FUTURE SHOCK will allow you to set up
- almost any control scheme you desire.
- The best combination for most people is
- the mouse/keyboard combo.
-
- JOYSTICK: If you want to use a
- joystick for any of the controls, you
- can assign either small joystick
- movements, or large joystick movements
- to any action. First, calibrate your
- joystick and then select the action
- you want to assign the joystick to.
- A small joystick movement will assign
- JOY A to the action. A large joystick
- movement will assign JOY B to the
- action.
-
- Joystick movement type B works very
- well when using it as a RUN action.
- Many gamers enjoy using the mouse/
- joystick combo. If you want to do
- this, configure the joystick to the
- following actions:
-
- Forward = JOY FWD A
- Reverse = JOY BACK A
- Slide Left = JOY LEFT A
- Slide Right = JOY RIGHT A
- Run = JOY FWD B
- Jump = JOY BUTT 1
- Activate = JOY BUTT 2
-
- This way, the joystick will control
- your feet and the mouse will
- control your aim. Try it out!
-
- MOUSE: Mouse movement can only be
- used to turn and look up and down.
- The mouse buttons can be assigned
- to any action, though.
-
- Two items have been added to the
- mouse configuration. Sensitivity
- has been broken up into both
- horizontal and vertical. You can also
- reverse the vertical movement so that
- rolling the mouse forward will look
- up as opposed to down.
-
-
- 4. HINTS AND TIPS
- ---------------------------------------
- Here are some hints and tips that
- should help you defeat SkyNet.
-
- JUMPING: If you are having trouble
- jumping, the game can get very
- frustrating very fast. To make jumping
- easier, the game allows you to actually
- move while in the air (less realistic,
- but more fun). Thus, if you are having
- trouble with a jump, try pressing the
- jump key first, and then moving while
- you are in the air. Also, there are
- many jumps which require you to run.
- Since you can move in the air, you can
- hold RUN, hit JUMP, and then hit
- FORWARD. With a little practice, the
- jumps become fairly easy.
-
- DRIVING: This can be very tricky for
- less experienced players. If you are
- having trouble driving and looking
- around at the same time, simply stop
- the car and shoot the enemies before
- continuing. You will find the car's
- gun and armor to be very heavy. Be
- careful though, if the enemies get
- to close to your car, they may jump
- on top of, or into it. This can be
- an instant death for even the best
- Resistance fighter. Reconfiguring
- your controls may help also.
-
- AMMO USE: Use your ammunition wisely.
- Conserve ammo by using the best gun/
- ammo combo for as many enemies as
- you can. For instance, you could waste
- a lot of time and bullets on a Seeker
- Globe, when one Shotgun blast will
- nuke it! Proper use of grenades will
- will help in ammo conservation.
-
- SEARCHING BUILDINGS: You can go in any
- building with a door. You never know
- what you may find inside. Searching
- buildings has kept Resistance soldiers
- alive many times.
-
- SAVE OFTEN: Death can lie around any
- corner.
