Safety Information
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including 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 sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit
room, and not playing 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.
Other Important Health and Safety Information
The Xbox Instruction Manual
contains important health and safety information that you should read and
understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rearprojection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are
played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay
may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to
appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage
may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or
pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be
played safely on your set. If you are unable to nd this information in the owner’s
manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video
games can be played safely on your set.

computer-controlled opponents and teammates.

Battle Operations
When you begin a

match, you rst select
whether to join the counter-terrorist or terrorist team. You
can also choose to be automatically assigned to a team or
to watch the game rather than playing (see page 10).
Rounds
A
Counter-Strike
match is made up of timed rounds. The
number of rounds is set by the game host. Each round
represents a single attempt by terrorists and counterterrorists to ful ll their objectives. One team usually
emerges from a round with a victory. The team with the
most round victories at the match’s end wins the match.
Terrorists and counter-terrorists start a round at different
insertion points and get freeze time to safely buy weapons
and equipment for the upcoming battle. Once freeze time is
up, players begin combat.
Buy Menu
The Buy Menu appears at each round’s start. From it, you
can buy primary weapons (ri es, heavy, and SMGs), pistols,
and equipment, such as Kevlar armor. Each player starts
with some cash to buy items and earns more by achieving
objectives (see the back cover). To choose an item, move
your left thumbstick to it and press A.
When you select a weapon on the Buy Menu, a chart
shows how that weapon compares to others in repower,
rate of re, accuracy, and reload speed. On this chart,
the rst number listed for Ammo shows how much the
weapon’s ammo clip holds and the second shows how
much ammo you can have in reserve. Under Special, you’ll
nd capabilities used by pressing the alternate re button.
Buy primary weapon ammo by pulling the right trigger
repeatedly, and pistol ammo by pulling the left trigger
repeatedly. To close the Buy Menu, press
B. To reopen it,
stand in a buy zone and click the left thumbstick.
Be aware—the game’s host sets a limited time period to
buy gear. You cannot buy items after this time has passed.
