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 the q button 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 directional buttons
4/3.
Objective locations will appear on the
map. Press
1/2 to cycle through
various components of an objective.
PAUSE MENU
Press the w button to pause the game
and display the Pause Menu, offering
the following options:

options.
Exit Exit current mission.
SAVING GAME DATA
Save your game by pressing the w button and selecting Save Game.
On the Save Game screen, use the directional buttons to select an empty
save file to save to and press the
x button. When prompted to overwrite
the current file, select
Yes and press the x button to complete the save.
❑
Selecting Yes overwrites older data, which cannot be restored.
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 red to indicate enemies or blue 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
ANALOG MOVEMENT — The amount of pressure you apply to the left analog stick
affects how your selected Commando moves.
❑
To move slowly, push the left analog stick gently in the direction you want to move.
❑
To run, push the left analog stick as far as it will go in the chosen direction.
❑
To sprint, press the l button while pushing the left analog stick. The
Commando’s stamina drops during a sprint, so it will only last a short time.
❑
Use the left analog stick to also control your Commando when swimming.
INTERACTION — When your Commando is near a person or an interactive object,
text describing the interaction/action will appear. Press the
x button 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 the
x button to initiate the interaction;
use the directional buttons 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 the
, button. 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.
Press the directional buttons
3 and move the right analog stick 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 the
x button to enter keyhole view.
Press the
x button again to exit the view.
BINOCULARS — Use binoculars to survey the scene. Press the f button to activate
the binoculars.
❑
The f 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 the d button 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.
❑
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, then press the d button to throw.
The distance thrown depends on how long you hold down the
d button.
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, then press the d button 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 the
d button 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
the
x button 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 the
x button
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 the
x button 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 r button to use your primary weapon.
❑
Press the d button to use your secondary weapon/item.
AIMING WEAPONS
❑

scope. The sniper scope is steadier from a crouched position
and when holding your breath (press the
d button).
RELOADING WEAPONS
❑
Press the s button to reload weapons.
CHANGING WEAPONS
❑
Press the directional buttons 2 to select/cycle/change your primary
weapon. Press
1 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
the
x button. (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 the
x button.
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, use the directional
buttons to select it, then press the
d button.
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 the 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.

❑
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 holding down the
x button 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).

TROUBLESHOOTING
FIREWALLS
In order to join or host a COMMANDOS STRIKE FORCE
™
game from behind a router with NAT (Network Address
Translation), or firewall, you may need to enable Port
Forwarding. You will need to route, or forward, all data
on UDP ports 9103, 30060 and 30061 to the IP address
assigned to your PlayStation
®
2 system.
Note: Users using DHCP must ensure that their
PlayStation
®
2 system is always assigned the IP address
specified in the Port Forwarding setup; under these
circumstances you may need to change your network
configuration from Auto Detect (DHCP) to a Static IP address
using the network adaptor start-up disc to ensure that
forwarded data always gets to your PlayStation
®
2 system.
If you are still having trouble connecting to other players,
try bypassing the router or firewall by connecting your
PlayStation
®
2 system directly to your DSL modem, cable
modem, or other broadband device.
STATUS
You can check the status of the game servers and read news
about

USB HEADSET
During gameplay, if your USB headset is plugged into your
PlayStation
®
2 system but you are not able to chat with your
opponent, your opponent may not have a USB headset
connected to the PlayStation
®
2 system, or you and your
opponent may have a low quality connection to each other.
