Gameplay DEFAULT CONTROLS On the back of this manual is a list of the default controls. To change any of these go to Setup / Controls. Click the box next to the function you want to change, and then press the key you want to assign to it. Reset Defaults by clicking the button at the bottom. SINGLE PLAYER To start a new Single Player game, choose your Level of Difficulty, select Arcade or Simulation mode, and then click on "Start Game." Both modes provide very different experiences.
You will come across many other teammates in the game that will join you in your fight. By the end of the game, you'll have the ability to control an entire group of nearly ten teammates and be joined by other forces that want to fight on your side. Some are better with certain weapons than others, read on to learn how to equip your teammates with better weapons, or take weapons from them.
Objectives As you progress through the game, you will receive objectives to complete. When you complete an objective, a new one will appear. In some cases you will have numerous sub-objectives (collect fuses for hydraulic machine, etc.), where completing them will both change their status as well as allowing you to complete other listed subobjectives. You can always see which objectives you are currently trying to complete in the bottom left corner of the HUD.
Weapons You will find eight categories of weapons in Devastation's world. To access these quickly, press the keyboard number of the category you want and hit the same number again to select the next weapon in the category quickly and easily. For example, if you wanted to select your hands, you would press the "1" key once since it is the first weapon in the Hand-to-Hand category. If you picked up and wanted to switch to the Wood Plank you could press "1" twice.
Player Setup MULTIPLAYER If you're connected to the Internet, the Multiplayer Menu allows you to host a game on your computer, or to join a game already started. Game Types Simply choose the character you wish to play as, and enter your name. There are 50 characters to choose from. Create Game Deathmatch Everyone for themselves! No teammates, no help. Just a down and dirty fragfest where everybody is your enemy. The most kills at the end of the round wins.
3. Choose Maps: Select the maps you wish to use from the list. The list of maps will change depending on what type of combat you choose. Double click on a map or use the arrows to select or deselect. You can also choose the order in which the maps will play by dragging them up or down. You can leave a game by bringing up the in-game menu and selecting "Quit." Optional Dedicated Server: Selecting the Dedicated Server option will make your computer function only as a host. You will not be a player.
TIPS & STRATEGIES ·At the start of a MP match you are in spectator mode. You are free to fly around the map and explore. Make sure you note the locations of the weapons, pickups and health. It is unwise to go into battle blindly! ·In the single player, use your GPS Device as much as you can. If you are having problems finding an objective, make sure you keep one eye on the action, and one eye in the upper right corner of your HUD so you don't get lost. ·Look for different ways to dispatch your enemies.
