HOW TO PLAY
ENTERING YOUR NAME
For both one and two player games you can enter a name on the Enter Name screen. This allows Player One and Player Two to enter a name of up to eight letters.
PHASE BRIEFING
After selecting a mission phase, you will be taken to the Phase Briefing screen. This will show you what you need to know to complete the phase.
A satellite download to the Ranger team helicopter updates a computer between mission phases. This download contains the intelligence info you need to succeed in your mission. Video and text data of all crucial Phase Objectives is displayed. SELECTING RANGERS AND MODIFYING LOADOUTS
When you have absorbed the information in the briefing, it is time to select an appropriate team of two Rangers, from the group of five. Each of the Rangers has a special skill with a particular weapon, this is something to bear in mind when selecting your men for a mission.
The five Ranger types are: After selecting both Rangers, you can modify their loadout (weapons and equipment), by going to the loadout screen. Here you can add, subtract, or swap certain items of the Rangers inventory. There is also a limit to the number of items and the weight that a Ranger can carry. SELECTING RANGERS IN A 2 Player GAME
Selecting Rangers in the two player game is very similar to the one player game. First Player One (or whatever name has been entered as Player One) selects their Ranger and edits their loadout if desired. When they are done then control is handed to Player Two, who can then select a Ranger and modify his loadout as wished. Control then returns once more to Player One who can then start the mission by selecting the pilot. RANGER FATIGUE
Your Rangers are only human, and too much combat will burn them out. When selecting Rangers there will be an indication of the Ranger's ability to cope with fatigue. This directly affects the Ranger's load bearing ability, dramatically reducing what he can carry when going into combat, if his fatigue level is high. NAVIGATION/GPS
Navigating the Spec Ops environment is much like navigating real terrain. Pathways in every mission will lead you to your assigned objectives
