----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VEHICLES
TANKS - use your joysticks to control, the right will control the turret
1 commander, 1 gunner
Anti Air tank - A tank that seats two, including a driver who controls the main gun similar to the tanks and a passenger who controls the Anti Air stinger.
120 mm Tank - A tank that seats two, including a driver who controls the 120 mm and a gunner who controls a .50 cal
30 mm Tank - A tank that seats two, including a driver who controls a weapon that is faster but weaker than the 120 mm Tank and a gunner who controls a .50 cal
HELOS - right joystick controls altitude, and turns
left joystick controls forward / reverse movement
- there is a missle launcher from the pilots seat, and a gattling gun from the
gunners seat
- you can transport 1 pilot, 1 gunner, 2 passengers
Additional Piloting Tips:
1) If you are the pilot you can fly the chopper forward and eject without getting killed by the chopper itself (the chopper blade etc). However, for the gattling gunner and 2 passengers, you must level the chopper out, so they can jump and parachute safely, without getting killed by the chopper.
2) If your chopper is beeping, you are either being targeted by a stinger missile or your armor is low and about to be destroyed. So be prepared to eject or jump.
3) Repair the Chopper. If your chopper is damaged, take it to any place that has a green wrench symbol and it will repair the armor in full and give your chopper full ammo. You can also have an engineer repair the chopper as well. Sometimes choppers are hard to come by when you are the Americans, so it's better to repair it than take a new chopper from the Middle Eastern Coaltion main base.
HUMMERS - use your joysticks to control
- you can transport 1 driver, 1 .50 cal gunner, 1 passenger in the bed
JIHAD MOBILES - same as the hummers
- you can transport 1 driver, 1 gunner
CARS, PICKUPS - same as the other land vehicles
- 1 driver , 1 passenger

BASIC GAMEPLAY
to heal a teammate, or a vehicle, switch to your icon, then walk up to the object and
hold down the right trigger to repair, or just once for healing
note - you can heal yourself also, so be careful you are close enuf to them
to call in a mortar strike, or laze a vehicle, pull that item up, and hold the right trigger
on that object until the bar on the lower right side is full. or for a laze, just follow and
keep that object red.
you can place c-4 on a vehicle, drive, jump, and detonate. you can throw the c-4 and
wait for the to get near and BOOM, you can place c-4 anywhere, and multiple
charges. to do this, place one, then press Y and you will see the pack again, repeat.
control the flags by getting next to them, and the meter will move until you have
taken that flag.
you can enter buildings, swim, parachute onto rooftops
to use a stinger, hold down on the right trigger until it turns red, it will then fire
-- only works on vehicles, not personnel
landmines can be walked over, they are only for vehicles. you CAN shoot them
- they will show up as a red triangle if your team placed them
the sniper takes about 3 - 5 seconds to reload between shots
the reticle is a tiny ( and i mean tiny ) grey dot in the center. good luck getting used
to this, but, 1 shot, 1 kill no matter where hit - ups and downs
to rocket a tank, try aiming for the rear, it should get it in 1 shot, if not - good luck
stand on health and watch your bar go up (Red Cross)
stand on ammo and reload - for multiple weapons - landmines, rockets, wait and
for the multiple clicks - it is not an auto fillup you have to wait a sec. (Blue Bullet)
move any vehicle for repair to any (Green Wrench)
the american shotgun is better - auto. the terrorist is a pump
the 120 mm tanks take a second to reload, the 30mm fire rapidly
TEAMWORK IS ESSENTIAL !!!!! THERE ARE NO LONEWOLFS HERE - COMMUNICATION IS VERY KEY TO WINNING. EVEN IF YOU OPERATE ALONE, WORK AS A TEAM, AND LET THE OTHERS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE TO LEND SUPPORT
to use the airstrike - when it is available, go up to the comp, press B. then, move the
cursor around the map - you can zoom in/out - and look for a concentration of red,
then press A. watch the teamkills - it does happen though, just be careful
Big Airstrikes - After a big artillery strike is set off, you have to wait for awhile until a message appears on the screen saying "Artillery Strike is now available". Also, on your radar/map will appear a picture or image of a space shuttle looking plane. When that plane appears on the radar/map it means that an big artillery strike is available.
to use the snipers GPS, click on it, let everyone know you are using it, give a quick
countdown, then pull the right trigger. this will highlight all the enemy on the map
for a few seconds - your whole teams maps. very useful for everyone to see
there is health and ammo in the trenches outside six, going to the communications tower.
you are able to shoot the wood blocking the doorways in some buildings, thus allowing more places to sit and explore.
find the radio tower - its by flag 5, going down the road to # 6. there will be a computor in the right side of the building. walk up, press the b button, move the cursor around until you see the highest concentration of red, then hit a. a will also let you get out after.
if you wanna launch a stinger from the sniper, choose the laze, hold it on the vehicle, press the r trigger, hold it on the vehicle until the bar on the lower r side fills up, then you can release. you have to follow the vehicle to get a lock. the same goes w/ the mounted stingers, and the one on the tank.
same goes w/ a mortar strike in the gunner but this icon is a radio. this works on ground targets - (areas).
when you choose your weapons, the numbers to the left indicate how many of your teammates have selected that weapon( the alive ones )
to use a stinger, either from a 30 mm tank, a turret, or the sniper pack, just hold the fire button, and follow the vehicle until lock is obtained. usually you will hear a beep. or, you can watch the lock bar reach the max (lower right) same goes for the mortar strike friom the support guy
when you look on the map ( d-pad left ) you can zoom in and out by the d-pad up and down.
For the sniper's "laser designator" point it at any land vehicle and press and hold the right trigger. You have to keep the crosshair on the vehicle until it completely locks. It will drop a small artillery strike on the target. You only get 1 unless you reload your ammo.
There is two ways to cross the river with a vehicle. Through town on the bridge, or a shallow area of the river. From the Coalition base, follow the road to the right of the town, where you will see a path leading to the river where there are rocks. If you hit this fast enough, you can jump over the rocks and land in the river where your vehicle can drive through. This only works if you are on the coalition side of the river heading to the American side.
only one person can use the far range walkie-talkie at a time. Do not hold down the white button when you are not using it, and try not to hold up the walkie-talkie with talk about how your parents want you to do the dishes. We do not care.
you can pick up other peoples weapons laying on the ground buy pressing the black button.
"Breach before you go in" It always good to go into a building with a Bang, Before going into a building (Flag 4 and 5 are the best) Throw in some "C4" and see if any one is hiding in their, works for me, some times I get 3-4 kils with one blast, even when your going up stairs toss some "C4"!
Do you hate it when people are camping FLAG 4 (The Mosque) I do its impossible to get up the stairs or wait no its not! What I like to is grab a helicopter and parachute on top of the Mosque and come up behind them or catpure the flag behind them, or even throw some "C4" in where they are. Now what if your American and you dont have no helicopter well This has been the case for me many times and it works I go Hijack one.
"Sabatoging Tanks" with "C4" I love doing this! I usually camp around corners or buildings waiting for the tank to come buy then I sneak behind it put 1-3 "C4" on it then blow it!! I blew up 3 tanks one game doing this, but be quick and sometimes you have to sacrifice your life for the team!
***Additional tips***
Crouching tip:
Press X to crouch and x again to lay in the prone position (lay down). Instead of just pressing X to stand from the prone position, you can press A (jump) button and you will go from the prone position to the crouching position. If you are crouching, you can press the A (jump) button and you will go to the standing position. I think using those crouching techniques is better than just using the X button.
Parachute tip:
After pressing B to exit the chopper, press black to open the parachute. If you parachute the entire trip down, you will be an open target to enemy (especially snipers). Try pressing the black button several times on the way down, so you can free fall a little, so enemies will have more trouble targeting you. I even go as far as to free fall then open the chute when I'm closer to the ground. When you are parachuting down you can use the left analog stick to help glide to a specific direction. Use the right analog stick while your parachuting to move the direction you are viewing.
When jumping from a helo, wait a sec before you deploy your chute. if not, it will get sucked into the rotors thus killing you.
Avoiding getting shot out of the air when parachuting is very simple when you jump out of the helicopter DO NOT pull your Parachute right away, wiat untill your close to the ground. you will fall fast and you wont stick out, so makes it very hard for Snipers.
Vehicle tips:
Repair your vehicle or chopper when you can. Most players leave a vehicle or chopper that is lightly damaged or seriously damaged. If your vehicle (or chopper) is damaged or low on ammo, take it to any green wrench and it will build to full armor and full ammo. If you are driving the tank, humvee or jeep solo, press black to man the .50 call gun, stinger, etc. It can come handy in certain situations.
Vehicle Jumps:
There is one jump that is at the river. The road that goes from flag 2 to the river towards the Artillery Strike Computer building. You can jump any vehicle over the river. There is also another jump that is off the top of a building, through the alley, right to the main city bridge. It starts from flag 6 towards the middle of the city. The jump is a sloped roof of a building. You have to drive straight to jump and smoothly ride through the alley to the main bridge.
Fun things to do:
1) Tower Sniping-If you have parachute skills try parachuting on top of the tower in flag 4 or flag 5 for some fun sniping.
2) Car Bombs-Strap as many C4s to any hummer or car. When you plant a C4 the detonator button automatically appears in hand. Press Y to change back to plant more than one C4. Plant them in the front and the front side of the vehicle. Drive full speed towards an enemy then press B to jump out, wait a sec. then press the right trigger to detonate the C4's. You can even destroy a tank with enough C4s and with good technique. I've even planted as many a 24 C4s to a car. It blinked and beeped like a christmas tree until I bailed and toasted some enemy.
