·You can interact with the CAMNET Security Cameras to see who or what's ahead.
Press "E" for ON/OFF, and use the MOUSEWHEEL to switch cameras
·Improvised weapons such as wood planks and bottles come in handy, but when
those are scarce, you've still got your two fists. Knives and swords are quiet
weapons. Use them in tight combat to allow you to keep your presence hidden.
·Walk quietly and use the element of stealth to even your odds. Use the "SHIFT" or
"CAPS LOCK" keys to walk slowly and avoid making footstep sounds. At the same
time, keep a sharp ear open for your enemy trudging through garbage or water.
·In heated combat, remember to keep moving, because a moving target is harder to
hit than a stationary one. Strafing is a great way to avoid being shot - the A and D
keys will make you strafe side to side while keeping your crosshair on your enemy. If
you're going to stand still, use common sense and crouch behind something.
·Many weapons are great for close combat, while others are better suited for long
distance play. For instance, the shotgun is great in close quarters, while the sniper
rifles are the ultimate long-range weapons. Grenades that explode and cause splash
damage will hurt you if they explode to close to you.

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. For example, if there is a group of
guards standing near an oil drum, instead of trying to take them on straight up, shoot
the drum and see what happens.
·Interactive items are everywhere in the devastated world. Use your hands to pick up
and throw items like chairs, bottles, boxes, drums, buckets, body parts, you name it.
If you can push or kick it, you can probably pick it up with your hands. First stand
over the item and press "1" to switch to your hands, then press "FIRE" to try to pick
them up. Press "ALT" to drop or throw them. If you press and hold "ALT" you will
wind up and eventually throw whatever you are holding with much force.
·You can move small and large items to make traps or barricades, or throw items to
distract enemies. Throwing explosive items is possible as well. Look for oil and
kerosene drums, gasoline cans, and other nasty items and use them creatively.
Many of these items make excellent weapons, and can take out an enemy when
thrown directly at them. Experimentation is encouraged, as some items will yield very
interesting results.
·You can interact with doors, devices, or teammates. Simply stand close and aim your
crosshair directly on what you want and press "E" for INTERACT. Often, teammates
will give you more information on what they are doing.
