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.

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.
❑
Pull lto 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 with ?, then pull lto throw. The distance
thrown depends on how long you hold down the trigger.
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 with ?, then pull lto fire.

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.

MOUNTED WEAPONS
❑
You’ll discover a number of mounted weapons throughout
the missions. To use one of these weapons, press
A

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.
~ 12 ~ ~ 13 ~

to select it,
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.

BEYOND THE BOX
Xbox Live®is a high-speed or broadband Internet gaming community where
you can create a permanent gamer identity, set up a Friends List with other
players, see when they’re online, invite them to play, and talk to them
in real time as you play.
CONNECTING
Before you can use Xbox Live, you need to connect your Xbox console
to a high-speed or broadband Internet connection and sign up for the Xbox
Live service. To determine if Xbox Live is available in your region and for
information about connecting to Xbox Live, see
www.xbox.com/connect.
Once connected, you must sign-in in order to play COMMANDOS STRIKE
FORCE
™

Quick Match Quickly get into an active session.
Optimatch Search for an active session.
Create Match Start a new session.
Friends View Friends List.
USING THE XBOX COMMUNICATOR
Connect the Xbox Communicator to talk to other players during online play.
The Xbox Communicator is voice-activated.
MULTIPLAYER GAME SETUP
CHARACTERS AND CLASSES
Each side has the same three classes (Commando, Sniper and Spy) and
specific characters. Each player can choose from Allied and Axis characters
and character class.
FRIENDLY FIRE
If you select
Friendly Fire: No, bullets will not harm your teammates,
though explosions and gas grenades will still cause damage.
WEAPONS
You can choose a main weapon. Other equipment is standard issue
for your type of soldier.
SCORING
Scoring depends on the game type, but is divided into:
❑
Player Points — You score Player Points by killing enemies
and completing mission objectives.
❑
Team Points — Teams score Team Points by completing objectives.
Team Points are used to determine the winner of the game.
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).
MULTIPLAYER SYSTEM LINK GAMES
Multiplayer System Link gameplay is the same as Xbox Live gameplay,
with the following requirements:
❑
Each Xbox console must be connected to its own television and to a System Link
via Ethernet. Each Xbox console supports one player.
