Get ready for edge-of-your-seat action and challenging tactical gameplay. Prepare to put your senses to the test against terrifying new threats to world peace and security. The fate of the world just might depend on you. No pressure.

TRAINING
Choose a training mission where you can hone your skills before starting a campaign.
Playing the Training Missions
The red lines on the ground of the training area are your paths. As you follow them through the training field, voice cues and texts pop-ups will explain how to perform important tasks in the game.
The entire set of training courses takes place in a single mission space. When you finish one training mission, you can go forward to the next. You can also follow the red line back to a previous training station and repeat that one as many times as you'd like.
Ending Training
To exit Training, press START and select Quit. This will take you back to the Main Menu.
TACTICAL EXERCISES
The Tactical Exercises are short missions designed to teach you some basic combat skills. The better you get at these, the better you'll be at playing the actual game and the more fun you'll have.
Skills
Each exercise will introduce one specific skill:
•
Shooting: Learn to eliminate an opposing force. Use different classes of weapons and get a feel for how each one operates.
•
Rescue: Find and rescue a downed pilot and escort him to safety.
•
Demolition: Learn how to really do some damage. Infiltrate an enemy facility and plant demo charges to destroy part of it.
•
Anti-vehicle: Learn to destroy vehicles such as tanks and armored personal carriers with heavy weapons. Ambush the vehicle column and protect your demolition soldier.
•
Defend: Direct your teams to good firing positions in order to protect a radio station from incoming waves of enemies.
This section is also the best place to perfect your skills or experiment with new strategies! Do not hesitate to try the exercises again from time to time, for practice.
