SETTING UP THE GAME
INTRODUCTION
Step into the boots of Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the “All-American” 82nd Airborne Division, and revolutionize the way the war is fought. From a rocky beginning in Sicily to warwinning triumphs in the heart of Germany, fight the epic WWII battles that turned America’s first paratroopers into combat legends. Begin each mission from the air and behind enemy lines, then jump immediately into the action. On the ground, tackle objectives in any order across an expansive, free-roaming environment, using a wide variety of upgradeable weapons to your strategic advantage.
OPTIONS
Adjust screen, audio, and control options from the Options menu.
To adjust options, select OPTIONS in the Main menu. Select GAMEPLAY to invert the Y axis, adjust aim sensitivity, or enable or disable subtitles and the compass. Select CONTROLS to customize mouse and keyboard controls. Select AUDIO/VIDEO to change the volume of the music and sound effects, test 5.1 surround sound speaker placement, or adjust screen
brightness. Select SPRINT EFFECTS to toggle motion blur and speed effects associated with sprinting (turning off Sprint Effects can reduce motion sickness in some players).
To adjust options during gameplay, press s to access the Pause menu, then select OPTIONS.
PLAYING THE GAME
From the coasts of Sicily to deep in the heart of Nazi Germany, jump behind enemy lines and lead the charge to victory for the Allies of the European Theater of World War II.
To begin a new Medal of Honor Airborne campaign, select CAMPAIGN in the Main menu, select NEW, then choose your difficulty level (CASUAL, NORMAL, or EXPERT).
NOTE: Before you begin the first mission you’ll need to complete a jump training exercise to prove that your paratrooper skills are air-worthy.
WEAPON LOADOUT
The weapons a soldier carries are critical to his survival and success on the battlefield. At the Weapon Loadout screen, inspect your options for rifles, auto-rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, and sidearms. As you scroll through each weapon, a box on the bottom right provides statistics on its accuracy, reload time, clip size, and other important information.
Select your primary and secondary weapon and sidearm. When you are finished, select ACCEPT LOADOUT to continue.
If you earn a commendation badge for exceptional marksmanship with a particular weapon, it appears in the Weapon Loadout screen.
NOTE: Weapons become unlocked during the course of the game, so your weapon options grow as you succeed in your missions.
THE FIRST STEP IS EVERYTHING
From the air, assess your landing options. Where you land is up to you—and can sometimes spell the difference between success and disaster.
IN THE AIR
To steer yourself in the air, press W/S/A/D. To flare your chute, press .
Green signal smoke indicates a safe landing area.
If you perform a melee attack (press F) while in your chute, right at the moment of impact, you have the chance of dispatching an enemy with a swift kick.
LANDING
There are three types of landings.
Flared |
If you’ve flared your chute (press ) within a safe distance |
|
from the ground, you achieve a flared landing. |
Botched |
If you fail to flare your chute in time, your landing is botched and you |
|
stumble. |
Greased |
If you can approach the drop zone at a shallow angle, you hit the ground |
|
running in a greased landing. |
TIP: Landing on rooftops can put you in an ideal starting position.
SKILL DROPS
Each mission has a certain number of key landing locations, called skill drop locations. Some skill drop locations are obvious, while others you’ll need to discover on your own. The number of skill drops you complete is recorded in your stats.
