Liberty Coalition Army 2nd Lieutenant Nathan Frost has
been transformed. There was that last searing blast from
the bomb, an excruciating gurney ride into the surgery
unit — Frost wondering if he even had a face left —
some strange talk about BP, pulse and … scarecrows?
Now he is alert, standing, disoriented a little,but
stronger than before.A sense of extreme power is
coursing through him and he sees apprehension
in the eyes of all who pass.
Frost has been transformed into the prototype.
He is the first-born in a top secret program to create
a bio-augmented super-soldier.
Now that joke about a one-man army is true...

WHO ARE YOU?
You are Nathan Frost, a bio-enhanced super soldier. In addition to weapons
expertise with firearms and explosives, you can use specialized bio-augmentations.
These bio-augmentations were surgically hard-wired into your body.You now have
lethal combat skills never before seen on the battlefield.
But there is a tactical downside.You are vulnerable to EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse),
which can disrupt your onboard electronics and render you momentarily or
permanently helpless. Your bio-augmentations begin to fail and you become
snowblind until your systems recover.
MISSIONS
You must complete missions as issued by Coalition Command. In every mission
you must complete all primary objectives (objectives are added as the mission
proceeds), protect yourself and protect your men.You will undertake two different
mission types:
L
Firefight missions
that are all-out urban warfare.
L
Stealth missions
where you attempt to infiltrate key areas before attacking
the objective. Discovery in this type of mission makes the mission much tougher.
MISSION OBJECTIVES
Your orders are assigned as mission objectives.
L Mission objectives appear as yellow circles on the Radar. (See page 10.)
L Press the ENTER key to see primary and secondary objectives (on the Pause
screen) during play.
L Press the F key to toggle Navigational Display mode,which marks the direction
to the next objective.
L Coalition Command will be in contact via radio with objective updates
and intel.

SECONDARY WEAPONS
To use the selected secondary weapon,

THROW/AIM
When using a grenade or riot wall, roll
the mouse to aim your throw, then press

using built-in timers, but you can manually detonate at will
by tapping the SHIFT key a second time after throwing.
GRENADE TYPES
FRAG The explosion sends metal fragments in every direction. Good
anti-personnel weapon for multiple enemies in a cluster.Can
be dodged by target.
EMP Electromagnetic pulse damages or disables electronic
circuitry.Use against sentr y bots , auto turrets or to disable
shield units carried by soldiers.
FLSH Flash-bang stun grenades explode with blinding light and
concussion. They are non-lethal. Use to esca pe a deadly
situation or shock enemies as you attack.
GAS Unleash a lethal cloud of poisonous gas.
SPDR Mini spiderbots deploy to track down and open fire on enemy
forces. Deploy a couple of these to watch your back or even
the odds during a firefight.
Bio-augmentations are the special
combat capabilities that were
surgically implanted during your
transformation. They draw power
from your bio-energy.
Press the ALT key to invoke the
equipped bio-augmentation. The Reserve gauge begins to discharge as you use
the power. When the gauge empties or you press the ALT key again, the bioaugmentation terminates and you return to normal.
ENHANCED VISION Enhanced vision causes all enemies and cloaked mines to stand
out from their environment. It makes dark areas brighter for easier
navigation, and allows you to see enemies through walls.
CLOAK Walk undetected within inches of the enemy. This bio-
augmentation disengages if you open fire with a primary
or secondary weapon.
REFLEX BOOST This slows the perception of time, allowing you to react more
quickly to enemy actions.
ELECTRICAL STORM Discharge a potentially fatal high-voltage electrical jolt in front
of you.
BALLISTIC SHIELD This protective force field surrounds you and absorbs the damage
of attacks. As it absorbs attack, your augmentation meter drains
from the effects of the attack and time.
BIO-AUGMENTATIONS
SPECIAL TOOL
This special non-weapon tool also resides in the secondary weapons inventory:
NANO BOOST This device will completely heal you, recharge your bio-energy,rescue you
from the brink of death and reverse the Snowblind effect.

Deploy this force field to create a protected position anywhere on the
battlefield.

THE SNOWBLIND
EFFECT
HACKING
Perform your hacking skills on electronic equipment using the icepick
(from the primary weapons inventory). You can hack:
L Security panels.
L Computer panels.
L All types of auto turrets.
L All types of bots.
NOTE: The Ogre is not hackable. It is a vehicle piloted by a human.
HOW TO HACK
With the icepick equipped, point and shoot at an electronic object. Once the
icepick deploys by unfolding with an audible clack, you are ready to execute
the hack:
L Point at the hacked security panel and press the LEFT mouse button to bring up
the Hack Panel options. Use the cursor keys to select an option. Press the
SPACEBAR to execute the selected option.Press the R key to cancel the Hack
Panel options display.
L Hacked security panels can be re-accessed (by pressing the RIGHT mouse
button).
L If you are attacked while performing a hack, the hacking process stops.
L A misfired icepick is reusable (successfully fired icepicks are spent).To recover
a misfired icepick, move within pickup range and press the RIGHT mouse button
to return it to your inventory.
REPUBLIC SECURITY SYSTEMS
You will encounter auto turrets,secur ity cameras and trip lines set by the enemy.
Some of these systems are activated when the enemy presses an alarm switch.You
can override certain systems from panels. Turrets and cameras can be disabled,
destroyed or turned against the enemy by using your hacking skills.
VEHICLES
Use Phoenixes, Hydras, Titans and Ogres to move quickly or attack the opposition.
Hydras, Titans and Ogres give you massive firepower. Even though a Phoenix may
be unarmed, you can use it as a ramming weapon.
IMPORTANT: The turret part of the vehicle moves independently from the body.
For example, when you move the Ogre’s upper body to aim the guns (roll mouse),
the legs remain pointed in the direction you are walking (W, S keys).
Your bio-augmentations depend on electronics that are
vulnerable to Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack. When an EMP
is launched or some other electronic interference occurs, your
vision fills with a white static as the pulse overwhelms your bioaugmentation systems. You will lose some or all bio-energy.
L Use a nano boost to overcome the Snowblind effect.
VITAL TASKS

AND ENEMIES
Point your reticle at an object or soldier (friendly or enemy).

cases) by pressing the R key.
