You will now enter Basic Training.
SPECIAL FORCES BASIC TRAINING AREA
Training helps you with the basics of the game. Skilled one-on-one instructors will guide you through all aspects of game controls: soldier movement, weapons handling, driving, targeting, giving orders, squad movement, and calling in artillery and air strikes.
Spend time here to become familiar with the controls. You'll thank these hard-working guys when you're under fire.

The sighting crosshairs will vary in design depending on the weapon you are holding. Crosshair sights can be adjusted in First-person view using the left analog stick UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT.
All sights are initially white. Aiming at a legitimate target will turn the sights RED, indicating you are on target.
