EPILEPSY WARNING
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following while playing a video game – dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions – IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your physician before resuming play.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE DURING USE

INTRODUCTION |
INTRODUCTION |
You’re back. Are you prepared? The past is about to catch up with you.
You — the hired gun with a sense of loyalty; the assassin with a sense of justice.
And faith? What of faith? Trust in your god, but carry a loaded gun.
Bind yourself with mastery of weapons and thoroughness of groundwork. Know when to take your time, and when to strike
instantly.
Track down those who forced you out of retirement. Seep through the deep fractures of the world. Flow through the quarters of sin, crime,
greed and dishonor.
Be certain, 47, in such places your enemies will hide. Until the only safe place is behind you.
Watch your back, 47.
The enemy is closer than you
think ...
