COMMANDOS CAMPAIGN
BRIEFING
A number of unorthodox military operations have been detailed to respond to the Nazi
threat that has cast a dark menacing cloud over Europe. The formation of the first
Commandos regiments has been sanctioned to defeat this seemingly invincible Nazi
army. The Commandos raison d’être is deploying smaller groups of Special Forces
to infiltrate, gather intelligence, engage in sabotage and harass the enemy deep behind
their lines.
You control a Commandos strike force unit. Your incursions will take you into France,
Norway and Russia with three elite Commando corps members — Colonel George
Brown (Spy), Captain Francis O’Brien (Green Beret) and Lieutenant William Hawkins
(Sniper) — at your disposal. You have a full arsenal of weapons, and each of your men
possesses a series of special actions and skills. You must switch between these
Commandos to adapt to all stealth and combat situations.
The missions that lie ahead will challenge you and your unit to the limit. You must:
❑
Assault and defend strategic positions.
❑
Sabotage enemy installations.
❑
Support allied troops in their own operations.
Good luck!
COMMANDOS TEAM

IN-GAME DISPLAY
Using the visual aids on the in-game
display, you can anticipate the threats
you will have to face; the locations of
targets in the current mission; any
weapons available; and your
Commando's health and stamina.
Visual aids include:
TACTICAL MAP
Press Return to open the tactical map.
Use the tactical map to locate your
position and keep track of your mission
objectives and targets.
❑
Move through objectives by pressing
the
cursor keys 4/3. Objective
locations will appear on the map.
Press
1/2 to cycle through various
components of an objective.
❑
Press Tab to cycle through the summary screens.
PAUSE MENU
During play, press Esc to pause the game
and display the Pause Menu, offering

SAVING GAME DATA
Save your game by pressing Esc and selecting Save Game. To overwrite
a save game, double-click on the save you want to overwrite.
❑
Selecting Yes overwrites older data, which cannot be restored.
❑
Press F5 to quick-save. Press F9 to quick-load.
TACTICS/TIPS
For certain missions, you will fight as one or two members of your unit.
Choose wisely — your tactical decisions have a direct influence on the
outcome of these missions. You can also decide the order in which to
accomplish mission objectives. For example, to stop the advance of a group
of Nazi tanks through the ruins of Stalingrad, you can use the scenario’s
tactical advantages (stock up on explosives, use narrow passes to set up
ambushes, etc.). You can decide where, when and how to attack the enemy.
RADAR
Check the radar to get information on your surroundings within
a range of approximately 18 meters. Enemy view range is
15 meters, so besides receiving directions you will also see
enemies in your radar before they see you.
❑
The radar also shows the locations of allies (blue),
checkpoints and objectives. If objectives are on the same floor as you are, they
appear in bold. If they’re on a different level, the location indicator is dimmed.
❑
The range of the radar increases while you’re using the binoculars.
❑
The radar may not show the positions of certain enemies (snipers). You must
discover their positions by some other means.
MEDIKITS
Displays the number of medikits in your possession.
SELECTED SECONDARY WEAPON/ITEM
Secondary weapon or item equipped/amount of item you have.
SELECTED WEAPON
Your selected weapon/amount of that weapon’s ammo you have.
CHARACTER
Displays the Commando you currently control, along with
the character’s
Stance (crouching or standing), Health
and Stamina.
CROSSHAIRS/WEAPON SIGHT
Use the crosshairs and other sights to aim your weapons.
A crosshair automatically appears whenever you have a firearm
selected; a sight appears for knives and piano wire. Crosshairs/
sights turn yellow/red to indicate enemies or blue/green to
indicate allies. If nothing is in your sights, they remain white.
PICTURE IN PICTURE
Provides intelligence on events surrounding the development
of the mission. May also display hints on possibilities
available in your area. Following a picture-in-picture update,
targets show up automatically on the radar.
TIMED OBJECTIVE
In specific missions, a counter appears above the radar. If time runs out before you
complete the mission, you will have failed the objective.
~ 10 ~ ~ 11 ~
GENERAL HINTS
RUNNING — To run, hold down Left Shift while moving forward. The commando’s
stamina drops during a sprint, so it will only last a short time.
INTERACTION — When your Commando is near a person or an interactive object,
text describing the interaction/action will appear. Press
F to initiate
the interaction/action.
PICKUPS — When your Commando is standing over an item that can be picked up,
text appears alerting you to this. Press
F to initiate the interaction; use the cursor
keys
to scroll through the pick-ups.
STEALTH
The use of stealth is imperative to the success of specific missions during each
campaign. There are a number of ways to remain covert during operations:
CROUCHING — Crouching and moving slowly helps you remain undetected
by the enemy. To crouch, press
C. Crouching also helps you avoid battle damage.
❑
Remember: you can quickly sprint from the crouching position, find cover, then
automatically return to the crouching position when you stop moving.
EXTERNAL VIEW — The external view allows you to look around objects while using
cover. Use this to observe your enemy and remain undetected during missions.
Hold down
E and move the mouse to adjust the view.
STEALTH VIEW — All Commandos can peer through keyholes. When your
Commando is standing in front of a door, make him look down or crouch;
a contextual message will appear. Press
F to enter keyhole view. Press F again
to exit the view.
BINOCULARS — Use binoculars to survey the scene. Click the right mouse button
to activate the binoculars.
❑
Clicking the right mouse button activates weapon zoom if the selected weapon
has that ability.
STEALTH KILL — The stealth kill (page 12) allows you to eliminate your enemy
silently, without being detected.
DISGUISE — Use disguises throughout missions to pass undetected through heavily
Nazi-populated areas and to infiltrate enemy ranks, obtain intelligence and give
conflicting orders to enemy personnel. When a mission starts, you will not be
provided with a disguise. Obtaining one is your initial task.
❑
You can only distract uniformed soldiers if their rank is inferior to the rank
of your disguise.
THE SPY — Colonel Brown can only carry one disguise besides his own uniform.
The higher the rank of the uniform he wears, the more freedom of movement he
acquires. He will always wear his normal clothing, unless he obtains a disguise
at the beginning of a mission. He can switch at will between his normal clothing
and the disguise he carries.
❑
In the close-range view, officers can recognize Brown in disguise. SS officers will
shoot at him in their close-range view even if he is disguised.
DISTRACTING GUARDS — Use items in the missions to distract enemy soldiers.
This is useful when you’re trying to gain entry to buildings or move through heavily
Nazi-populated areas undetected.
❑
Press Left Alt to throw or place an item.
❑
Coins — Use coins to create a noise to distract the enemy. The guard will leave his
position to investigate the noise. (If you are being observed by the enemy when
you’re throwing a coin, that enemy will not turn.)
❑
Cigarettes — Use cigarettes to visually distract the enemy. If you put cigarettes
on the floor, the enemy will look in that direction, giving you enough time to sneak
up on him for the silent kill or to sneak past him.
SWIMMING — You can swim underwater to infiltrate areas unseen, making it
possible to surprise the enemy from behind, or to reach hidden underwater access
points. Your swimming time is limited by your Commando’s physical characteristics.
Due to his ability to focus his senses, the Sniper can swim in near-freezing water
without suffering any damage.
ACTION
Stealth aside, you will also need to employ an equal measure of firepower to overcome
your opponents. Ordnance at your disposal includes:
GRENADES — Grenades are effective weapons against armored and “soft” targets
alike; they are especially effective against massed troops.
❑
To throw a grenade, first select it (press 2), then press Left Alt to throw it.
The distance thrown depends on how long you hold down
Left Alt.
ORDNANCE LAUNCHER (Captain O’Brien [Green Beret] only) — The ordnance
launcher is used in the same way as grenades but offers far greater accuracy,
with a crosshair allowing you to pinpoint chosen targets.
❑
To fire the ordnance launcher, first select it (press 2), then press Left Alt to fire.
~ 12 ~ ~ 13 ~
SNIPER RIFLE (William Hawkins [Sniper] only) — Use the sniper rifle
to selectively eliminate enemies without revealing your position.
The precision crosshairs have an enhanced zoom that takes some time
to stabilize. To do that, press
Left Alt to hold your breath while looking
through the scope.
DOUBLE GUNS (Captain O’Brien [Green Beret] only) — This enables you
to carry two guns at once, giving you a constant supply of firepower.
VEHICLE-MOUNTED/GROUND-MOUNTED WEAPONS — Use these
weapons to inflict massive damage on the enemy.
POISON GAS CANISTERS — These canisters release a gas that will
eliminate the enemy. They will also eliminate your Commandos.
GAS MASK — The gas mask protects against gas attacks.
SMOKE CANISTERS — Smoke canisters release a dense gas that
obscures enemy vision and causes choking.
STEALTH KILL TECHNIQUES
Each Commando has the ability to perform stealth kills that will eliminate
the enemy with the minimum amount of noise.
COLONEL BROWN (Spy)
❑
Piano Wire — Equip your piano wire. Sneak up quietly behind
an enemy until you are within grabbing distance, then press
F
to strangle your enemy.
❑
Silenced Pistol — When equipped, this pistol works in the same way
as a normal pistol but with minimal sound.
CAPTAIN O’BRIEN (Green Beret)
❑
Neck Break — Equip your knife. Sneak up quietly behind an enemy
until you are within grabbing distance, then press
F to silently break
the enemy’s neck.
❑
Slash — You can also use the knife to slash enemies. However, this can
require a few hits to kill, which may allow the enemy to raise the alarm.
LIEUTENANT HAWKINS (Sniper)
❑
Stab — Equip your knife. Sneak up quietly behind an enemy until you
are within grabbing distance, then press
F to silently stab the enemy
in the back.
❑
Throwing Knife — Head and torso shots kill the enemy. Arm and leg
hits result in damage but not death. Recover a knife by moving your
Commando over the knife on the floor.
WEAPON USE
Commandos will carry only a limited number of weapons. You must decide what
weapons to carry, and choose those that best fit the Commandos’needs. Each
Commando can carry his exclusive weapon and one or two medium weapons.
Only O’Brien (Green Beret) can carry both a medium and a heavy weapon.
USING WEAPONS
❑
Press the left mouse button to use your primary weapon.
❑
Press Left Alt to use your secondary weapon/item.
AIMING WEAPONS
❑
Move the mouse to aim your weapon using the crosshairs, depending
on your weapon of choice.
USING THE SNIPER SCOPE
❑
When controlling the sniper, click the right mouse button to use
the sniper scope. The sniper scope is steadier from a crouched position
and when holding your breath (press
Left Alt).
RELOADING WEAPONS
❑
Press R to reload weapons.
CHANGING WEAPONS
❑
Press 1 to select/cycle/change your primary weapon. You can also use
the
mouse wheel (if applicable). Press 2 to select/cycle/change your
secondary weapon/item.
SWAPPING WEAPONS
❑
When you find a weapon (either
army issue or one dropped
by an enemy), the weapon swap
icon appears. You can swap the weapon you’re holding for the weapon
you found by pressing
F. (When you swap weapons, you put down
the weapon you’re carrying.)
MOUNTED WEAPONS
❑
You’ll discover a number of mounted weapons throughout the missions.
To use one of these weapons, press
F.
EXPLOSIVES
Explosives are essential when you’re executing synchronized sabotage
or preparing enemy ambushes.
STICKY BOMBS — Use these to blow up vehicles. The bomb
explodes a few seconds after being stuck to an area on the vehicle.
ANTI-TANK MINES — Mines can be deployed on any type
of ground (visible for soldiers but not for vehicles) but can only
be buried on soft ground. Mines explode when shot and are
mission-specific.
~ 14 ~ ~ 15 ~
EQUIPMENT
You have varied tactical equipment, offering certain tactical advantages over the enemy.
GRENADE — Explosive used to blow up tanks, half tracks and groups
of enemy soldiers. The grenade detonates after a period of time has elapsed.
MOLOTOV COCKTAIL — These are thrown and explode on contact. Effective
against vehicles and soldiers.
SMOKE CANISTERS — The smoke hides your Commando from the enemies’
view. As a side effect, the smoke incapacitates those who breathe it in for a few
seconds. (See Gas Mask below.)
POISON GAS CANISTERS — Poison gas canisters take out groups of enemy
troops silently.
GAS MASK — To put on your gas mask during an attack, press 2 to select it,
then press Left Alt.
CIGARETTES — Use cigarettes to distract enemy guards (visual).
SILVER COINS — Use silver coins to distract enemy guards (aural).
MEDIKITS — Restores a large amount of health. You can accumulate medikits
throughout a mission and use as needed. You can also use them on allies to
help restore their health.
PANZERFAUST — The ordnance from this disposable anti-tank
rocket launcher loses speed and force after a short distance.
THE ENEMY
There are different ranks in the Nazi army: soldiers, sergeants, officers and feared SS
and Gestapo agents. There are also civilian Nazi sympathizers to watch out for.
GENERAL BEHAVIOR
All Nazi soldiers can see you, hear you, chase you, follow your tracks, find dead soldiers
and sound the alarms. They can be posted to cover an area, occupied with some activity,
or on patrol. If they are alerted, some will not leave their posts, but others will go
to the alarm location.
VISION
Vision is relative to the situation and the location of the enemy. For example, the enemy
will have more difficulty detecting your presence if you are crouching. Following this
logic, you need to be alert when facing more vigilant enemies who will sweep the area
for anything out of the ordinary.
HEARING
The chance of the enemy hearing you is increased when you’re executing noisy actions
(running, shooting, etc.) and lessened by stealth actions (moving while crouched, using
the knife or the silencer, etc.). The noisier you are, the more chance you have of being
detected and the alarm being raised.
ALARM STATUS
If a soldier or guard spots you during a mission or an alarm is raised, the soldier
or guard will go through a series of stages before returning to normal status.
Normal — Guards perform their usual actions. If something
out of the ordinary happens they become suspicious and a timer
appears above their heads.
Suspicious — Once the timer appears you have to rectify the unusual
occurrence, hide, or get away from that position before the timer
completes a cycle. If the timer fills, the enemy will go to Alerted status.
If the timer does not complete a cycle, the enemy will return to Normal
status after a period of time.
Alerted — If a soldier or guard goes to Alert status, they will attack,
call for support, raise the alarm or run away.
ENEMY PERSONNEL
SOLDIERS
Low-ranking soldiers of the German Army. There are
several types with different behaviors and characteristics.
They can be walking, patrolling, taking a break, fixing
vehicles, carrying supplies, operating radios, etc.

DEATHMATCH
In this classic free-for-all game mode you fight alone without joining a team.
Maps are simple to encourage faster gameplay. Players spawn randomly
on the map. A player wins by reaching the score limit (40 by default) first
or having the most points when time runs out (15 minutes by default).
SCORING
❑
A kill is worth 1 point.
❑
If a player accidentally kills himself (with a grenade, for example),
he incurs a -1 point penalty.

TEAM DEATHMATCH
Similar to Deathmatch, but players are divided into two teams (Allied
and Axis). Maps are arena-style, kept simple to encourage faster gameplay.
Players spawn randomly on the map. A team wins by reaching the score
limit (100 by default) first or having the most points at the end of the time
limit set in the server for that map (20 minutes by default).
SCORING
❑
The same scoring system is used as in Deathmatch. Killing oneself does
not affect the team score.
❑
The team score (total score of all team members) determines the winner.
SABOTAGE
A variation on Team Deathmatch, in this mode the use of Spies is the key
to winning. The mission's overall objective is to sabotage enemy
installations by first sending in characters to interrogate the opposition in
order to gain a code key to arm the enemy bomb.
The Spies on both sides are the only characters who can interrogate players
on the enemy team. Every time an opponent is killed, he will remain
susceptible to interrogation for a few seconds. During this time a Spy can
interrogate him (by getting close and pressing
F with the crosshair over
the victim until the meter is full). If the opponent is a Spy, he can reveal half
of the code key (3 digits); if not, he can only reveal 1 digit. A Spy has
a longer interrogation time (10 seconds) than the other characters
(5 seconds).
Note: The code key is a 6-digit code.
As soon as a Spy finds out the code key, he can go and sabotage the enemy
base. When a Spy successfully sabotages the enemy base, his side scores.
Maps have two distinct base areas, one for each side, where players spawn
and sabotage.
The first team to reach the score limit or with the most points at the end
of the time limit configured on the server for this map wins.
Note: Each team must have at least one Spy.
SCORING
❑
Players score points by killing or interrogating opponents
(1 individual point).
❑
Team points are awarded for sabotaging the enemy base (1 team point).
