Objectives – Scenarios
Rescuing Hostages (Special Forces) – To get a hostage to follow you, go up to
him and press the “Use” key. The hostage will now follow you until he is rescued, he is killed or you press the Use key on him again to tell him to wait there.
The Terrorists need to stop the Special Forces from rescuing the hostages.
Planting the Bomb (Terrorists) – The bomb is part of your weaponry. Cycle
through weapons to select the bomb (only one terrorist has the bomb). The
Terrorists need to plant the bomb and guard it until it goes off at a bomb site
designated by a red cross. The Special Forces need to prevent the bomb from
being planted. If it is planted, the Special Forces should defuse it. If the terrorist
who has the bomb gets killed, he will lose the bomb. Other Terrorists can pick
up the bomb to plant it. The Special Forces cannot pick up the bomb.
Capturing the OICW (Terrorists) – The Terrorists are out to capture a secret
weapon designed by the government. The Special Forces cannot pick up this
weapon, only Terrorists can.
Escape (either team) – This scenario sees one of the teams fleeing for their lives
while the opposing team tries to hunt them down.
When you start a game, you have $1,000 in your pocket. Throughout the
round, money is given out for a number of different reasons such as: killing enemies, winning the round, rescuing hostages or keeping evidence until the round
ends. If you kill a teammate or a hostage, you will lose some money. The maximum amount of money you can have is $20,000.
Money can be spent on weapons whenever you are standing at your starting
point. You cannot buy anything outside the starting zone.

Settings
To change your personal settings, go to Options › Preferences › TO Settings. You
will then be faced with the following options:
Automatic Reloading – If you prefer to have your weapon reloaded automatically after you have emptied your clip, you should check this option.
Hide Crosshairs – If you don’t want your aiming crosshairs to be displayed,
check this option. Although it is harder to play, it makes the game more tense
and realistic.
Hide Widescreen – When you are dead, you can view the game in widescreen
mode (default). If you wish to view it normally, check this option.
Hide Death Messages – If you don’t wish to know when a teammate or enemy
has died, check this option.
HUD Transparency Fix – If you are having trouble viewing the HUD or using
night vision, check this option.
The Basics
Once you’ve joined a game, you will be asked to select which team you would
like to join, either Special Forces or Terrorists. The numbers of players per team
can be found on the Team Select screen.
If you start a practice session, you will be given an overview of your objective
right after you have chosen your team.
If you have joined a multiplayer game and it is not the start of the round, you
will start off dead until the next round starts. However, if it is the start of a round,
you will be given a Briefing screen.
On the Briefing screen, you will be given an overview of objectives that you
need to complete. This is the best period of time to buy your weapons. No one
will be able to move for the first few seconds (this time may vary).
You can buy weapons, items, and body protection to assist you in the forthcoming round. It is recommended that you buy a weapon, ammunition and
body protection until you have a good idea of what weapons and items work
best for you. After a few seconds, the Briefing screen will disappear and you
will be able to move around.
