        - womans weapon... for attracting enemies

        - kick: similar to john´s hand







A2 Overall Gameplay



- If anybody of your partners gets killed the mission is lost and you have to start all over, ofcourse if you have

  a save you don´t. So be sure, all of you characters are in safe places even if you just playing with john on the

  other side of the map. You never know if somebody will pass by .



- save often: mostly when you are in critical locations you will often make mistakes and timing is sometimes realy

  hard...



- The best tactic is to kill your enemies as silent as possible, so you don´t have to deal with huge enemy troops

  which come out of building after alarm is been sounded or you just have been spotted.



- use silent weapons, like john´s knife, hands and gas. after using gas or KO do not forget having Sam tieding

  up the unconscious bodies. silent also means crouching and walking, NOT running. When you run, the enemy will hear

  you and look in your direction.



- In some missions you will encounter civialians, you MUST NOT killed them. But if you act aggresively they will

  look for help and you in troble. If there is somebody in your way just knock him down and tie him up with Sam,

  and he will never make troubles again.



- After tieding up enemies, be sure that their friends won´t find them, because they will set the free...



- Always try to atack the enemies one by one. If it is not possible use gas. More than three enemies at the same

  time means you are toast. And believe me, they shoot much much better than you do.



- try to save your special tools for harder missions. most of all tools like: gas,sniper-rifles etc. Use them wisely.
