Conflict: Global Storm

While all members of Red Team are fully weapons trained, it makes sense to exploit each of your squad's individual skills. For example, assign sniper duties to Sherman rather than Connors.

Confined interior environments demand carefully controlled progression and will test your squad control skills, teaching you how to use surroundings for cover.

A deserted modern cityscape is a sniper's playground where every rounded corner could lead to an ambush, so proceed with utmost caution and move quickly and decisively.

This treacherous, disorientating environment provides maximum cover for both defensive and offensive parties; use foliage to navigate undetected and silenced weapons to avoid giving away your position.

Open areas attract armored vehicles and offer minimal cover, requiring heavy reliance on stealth to sniper sweep the area, dispose of infantry, and then tackle heavier opposition.

Avoid charging into a hotzone guns blazing; instead, use controlled, progressive movements, formulate a plan, and then deploy it systematically.

Always scout the ground ahead, paying particular attention to high-level positions for snipers and potential ambush areas.

Remember you're operating as a team - cover fire is crucial for survival; avoid grouping your team and instead position your squad to offer the widest possible area cover.

Prioritize your targets, generally improving your chances by taking care of the biggest threat first, such as dealing with a sniper before assaulting ground troops.

Try to think about how to exploit other items, such as creating diversions with grenades or using thermal vision to spot the enemy in jungle situations.

A natural leader and all-round action hero, Bradley is one of the most respected Special Forces operatives. He is implicitly familiar with any form of assault rifle or pistol, and his cool composure under fire inspires confidence.

Jones is the Special Forces' explosives expert, a demolition genius who also doubles as a dependable SMG/shotgun-toting combat operative.

Connors is a one-man army and heavy weapons fetishist whose superior build allows him to carry the largest arsenal, making him best equipped to dispose of tanks or take over gun turret duties.

A sharp-shooting sniper extraordinaire, Foley holds the record for the longest distance single-shot kill and is exceptionally cool and calm under pressure.

One of the first women assigned to an active Special Forces unit, Sherman is an accomplished counter-terrorist sniper instructor with excellent tactical knowledge and rock-steady aim.

Only really effective in close range situations, pistols remain a reliable fall-back option and can prove the ultimate stealth weapon when equipped with a silencer.

Great all-rounders, with effective stopping power, decent accuracy and versatile options such as grenade launcher attachments.

Not always the most accurate option but their rapid fire rate and compact nature make them particularly suited to close-quarter combat.

When sheer power is more important than accuracy you can rely on a light machine gun to get the job done. Huge magazine capacity makes it an excellent weapon for laying down covering fire (and for decimating anyone who steps into its bullet stream).

Clearly the only choice when eliminating enemies at long range, sniper rifles can still be remarkably effective in more claustrophobic situations in the hands of an expert marksman. Their magazine capacity tends to be limited, however.

Devastating at close range, shotguns rapidly become useless the moment distance gets between you and your target. An excellent choice for interior/building-based missions.

If it's destruction you seek, look no further. Frag grenades will happily deal with infantry while their rocket-propelled cousins can take on tanks and helicopters. Flashbang grenades stun the enemy while WP - white phosphorous - set fire to anything they come in contact with). Claymore mines can deal with vehicles as well as infantry while C4 is usually best suited to clearing obstacles such as barriers or or walls.
