Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a tactical stealth game where players command a squad of WWII special forces through missions with diverse objectives. Success hinges on completing main and secondary goals, minimizing detection and casualties, and strategically neutralizing enemies to earn points and advance rank.
Story
The Missions
In COMMANDOS 2: MEN OF COURAGE™, you will guide your men through a series of missions inspired by WWII events. These missions offer diverse objectives, new challenges, and multiple strategic approaches.
Each mission has at least one main objective, such as rescue, espionage, assault, or defense. Missions also include sub-objectives and clues to help you achieve your goal. Failure to complete objectives or losing team members will require you to restart.
While creating COMMANDOS 2: MEN OF COURAGE™, our aim was an enjoyable game beyond a faithful depiction of WWII Commandos activity. If game events contradict your history book, please trust your history book.
Your Career in the Army
Army life is challenging. To succeed, you must complete objectives presented before and during each mission. Completing a mission allows you to advance to the next.
Mission Score
Upon successfully finishing a mission, you are awarded points based on your degree of success. Points are calculated from:
•
Secondary objectives accomplished
•
Time taken to finish
•
Damage received
•
Not being detected
•
Visiting different areas of the map
•
Number of enemies neutralized
You receive maximum points for tying up enemies, fewer for knife kills, and the fewest for firearm kills.
As you progress, your accumulated points will increase your rank. You begin at the lowest rank. By the end of the war, successful mission completion and exemplary behavior could earn you the rank of Field Marshal. Your honor, career, and pension depend on your effectiveness.

SETTING UP
SELECT YOUR PLAYER NAME AND THE MISSION
When you start COMMANDOS 2: MEN OF COURAGE™ for the first time, you must create a player identity and assign it a name. As this will be your first encounter you will only be granted access to the training missions. As your experience increases, you will be allowed to risk the Commandos and take on further missions.
Each new player you create will start from scratch, with no experience, and you will have to train him from the beginning.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
Mission objectives of a particular mission will not change even if the difficulty level is altered. The differences you will experience will be in the behavior of your enemies and the supply of tools and provisions.
For example, in Normal difficulty mode the enemy will be less likely to leap into action and will take more time recognizing and shooting at you than in the Hard and Very Hard difficulty modes.
Normal Mode
In Normal mode your firearms have the longest range and shoot extremely fast. Enemies are more relaxed and their reaction times far longer, giving you a larger margin of error.
If a Commando's health level drops to zero, you can bring him back from the brink of death by using any of the multiple first-aid kits that you will find. There is no shortage of ammo and items. Grenades and explosives have a larger damage radius.
Hard Mode
In Hard mode you will encounter more enemies, the range and speed of your firearms is decreased and the enemy's reaction time is faster. Enemy firearms are more deadly. When one of your men dies, there is no way to bring him back.
Very Hard Mode
In Very Hard mode, enemies react as soon as they see you, the range of their guns is the longest and their shots the deadliest. First-aid kits and ammunition are in very short supply. Success could rely on a single bullet, so ammunition must be used wisely.
Just in case this wasn't enough, enemies recover from being knocked out by Commandos far faster. Wine also affects them for a shorter period of time.
TUTORIALS
A number of tutorials are designed to aid you in completing your task. It is recommended that you try some of these before playing the game.
THE GAME
This section contains information regarding the core areas of COMMANDOS 2: MEN OF COURAGE™. You will receive information about your men, the weapons you will use throughout the missions and various tactics that will help you accomplish your objectives. Reading them does not guarantee your success, but will help you recognize your options, rate the enemy's chances and anticipate the different perils that you will have to face.
ASSIGNMENT OF OBJECTIVES
At the beginning of each mission you will receive brief instructions on what is expected from you and your men. You will be given information in the following areas:
•
The overall strategic situation
•
The main mission objectives
•
A tour of the environment, at which point you will see where objectives can be completed and the position of key areas. You'll also receive advice on the tactics you should employ.
If you would rather skip the briefing, press the START button at any point to start the mission. If you need to check any of the objectives while in a mission, you can use the Notebook in the Interface.
INDIVIDUAL SELECTION
To give your Commandos orders you must first select them. Press the button, and then press the directional button or to highlight the target character.
Press the button to select that man. The highlighted character will face the screen. An outline will appear around that Commando and his interface will appear. If your view of the Commando is obscured by a building, tree or wall, rotate the map to bring the character into view.
To select more than one Commando, tap the button and press the directional button or to highlight the other characters you want to select. Once each one is highlighted, press the button to add him to the group. Once all the characters are chosen, tap the button to select. All selected Commandos will then follow the first Commando when you move the left analog stick.
INTERFACE
The Interface is your command center. From here you control the game and give your men the necessary orders to complete the mission.
ABILITIES
Abilities are divided into two main modes. The first is Offensive mode and the second is Interaction mode.
OFFENSIVE MODE
When you move the selected Commando in Offensive mode, other characters and enemies are highlighted automatically by a target icon when in line of sight. The item currently selected in the Offensive mode box can be used against enemies by pressing the button.
Offensive Objects are items you can use against the enemy either for distraction or attack. Also contained are items that can aid your Commandos or Allies, such as
