Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching
video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk
of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play
when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
COMPLETE CONTROLS
These are the default controller settings. To change your controller scheme or adjust sensitivity, select
OPTIONS from the main menu, then select CONTROL.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide
consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the ageappropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can
help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem
suitable for their children and families.
ESRB ratings have two equal parts:
• Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols
appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or
rental in the United States and Canada.
• Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a
particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear
on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.

SHANGHAI SURPRISE
For Tyson Rios and Elliot Salem, war is strictly business. They’d served as Army Rangers in Mogadishu
before going into the private sector, earning top dollar as the top operators for paramilitary corporation
SSC… an arrangement that came to a sudden and bloody end. Now Rios and Salem work for the only people
they still trust: each other. And business is better than ever.
Their latest job is easy money—hook up with a fellow merc in Shanghai, plant some electronics, and get
paid. But neither the horrors of Somalia nor the betrayals of the SSC have prepared them for what’s coming.
A new kind of war is about to engulf China’s greatest city, and to survive it, Rios and Salem must decide if
there’s a line even they won’t cross.

PLAYING THE GAME

in your way, upgrade your gear, find hidden spoils of war, and get out of Shanghai alive … if you can.

MORALITY AND CO-OP CHOICES
Every choice has repercussions in a war zone, both immediate and long-term. Throughout the campaign,
you must react to situations that don’t always have clear-cut answers, or where instant rewards come with a
high price tag. Either player can make the decision, but whoever chooses first chooses for the team.
Every interaction affects how people—including your partner—react to you. Review the consequences of
your actions by selecting CO-OP CHOICES off the Extras menu.
PAY ATTENTION, SOLDIER! Civilians trapped in the city are rapidly becoming hostages or victims. You can
change that, if you decide to get involved. Once any enemies are captured or killed, press near a living
civilian to set them free. Then select ID CARDS from your Pause menu to see how your generosity pans out.
MASK GPS
Your mask isn’t just another piece of armor. It’s equipped with a sophisticated tactical GPS to help you
navigate the wreckage of Shanghai, and an enemy tagging system to help you find and identify threats
before they find you. Activate it by pressing .
TAGGING
Tag enemies with your GPS by moving your reticle over them and pressing , then order your partner to
deal with them directly.
STATS

COMBAT
Two men can survive anything if they work together. Find some cover and use team tactics to advance and
out-maneuver hostile forces.
Keep an eye and ear out; a good mercenary can earn a little something for his trouble if he’s paying
attention. You might also find valuable intel to clue you in on who’s attacking Shanghai, and why.
AGGRO
When the situation gets heavy, use Aggro to your advantage. Firing continuously, tossing grenades or just
being out in the open builds your Aggro, drawing the enemy’s attention as you get hotter. Meanwhile, your
partner ghosts out as the opposition starts ignoring him to concentrate on you. That leaves him free to sneak
around, flank enemy positions, and take them out. Alternately, you can order your partner to go loud while
you take the stealthy approach.
PAY ATTENTION, SOLDIER! Just because you’re see-through doesn’t mean the enemy can’t see you. Stay
out of their line-of-sight when sneaking around, or you’ll be right back in their crosshairs.
WEAPONRY
Superior firepower is the only advantage you have left. Pull to blind-fire, or pull and hold for precision
aiming. This works both in and out of cover. If you’re running low on bullets, pick up ammo dropped by dead
enemies or take their guns entirely by getting close and pressing .

your arsenal, then press

already have. Press and hold whenever you’re not in combat and press
Every weapon can be up upgraded to improve its stats and skinned to suit your style… urban camo for the
tactical pros, pimped for the merc who wants to make a bold statement.

HOMEBREW PARTS
Some upgrades aren’t for sale. Find a few makeshift mods on the streets of Shanghai and roll with them.

PAY ATTENTION, SOLDIER! The invading forces have supply cases set up around the city. Eliminate any
nearby guards before they can lock them down, and add their equipment to your own.
COVER
Take cover or get killed… your choice. Press to slide into cover (release while sprinting), or click
to duck down behind it. You can lean out to return fire, either blind or using precision aiming (pull ).
MAN DOWN!

or until he bleeds out, whichever comes first. Tap to grab and drag your partner to a
