Contact Information -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction -------------------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ and Achievement Guide covers Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 for Xbox 360. Most of this information applies to the Playstation 3 version as well. Commando is a single-player top-down, run and gun shooter released in arcades in 1985. The game starred Super Joe, who went on to play a bit part in the original Bionic Commando. Commando was ported to NES and several computer systems. In Japan it is known as Wolf of the Battlefield. Mercs, AKA Wolf of the Battlefield 2, hit arcades in 1990. Improving on its predecessor in every way, Mercs is a three-player action tour-de-force. The protagonists are collectively known as the Wolf Force. Oddly, there is no storyline connection to the first game. Single-player Sega Genesis and Master System ports followed the arcade release. Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is the latest game in the series. It can be downloaded for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 for $10. Commando 3 retains many elements from its predecessors, including the rescuing of POWs from part 1 and the three-player gameplay and controllable vehicles from Mercs. Like Mercs, Commando 3 has no storyline connection to previous games. Poor Super Joe. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

Controls -------------------------------------------------------------------- Xbox 360 Controls: Left Stick: Movement Right Stick: Aim and fire Right Trigger: Throw grenades (hold to throw farther) Right Bumper: Throw grenades (hold to throw farther) Left Trigger: M-Crash/Exit vehicle Left Bumper: Exit vehicle Playstation 3 Controls: Left Stick: Movement Right Stick: Aim and fire R2: Throw grenades (hold to throw farther) R1: Throw grenades (hold to throw farther) L2: M-Crash/Exit vehicle L1: Exit vehicle -------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Characters -------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolf (blue) ----------- -Life: 4 Speed: 4 Grenades: 4 -Wolf is an all-around great guy. Coyote (red) ------------ -Life: 5 Speed: 4 Grenades: 3 -Coyote is the easiest character to play due to his life meter, which is large and in charge. Just make sure you save a grenade or two for the secret areas. Fox (green) ----------- -Life: 3 Speed: 5 Grenades: 5 -Fox is the most challenging character to play since here life is so low. Still, she can move, baby. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Items -------------------------------------------------------------------- Weapons: These can be powered up by collecting the same item twice. Machine Gun (blue) -The machine gun is the default weapon and really the best all-around gun due to its range and rate of fire. Spread Shot (green) -The spread shot is less useful than you might expect because of its terribly short range. Flame Thrower (orange) -This gun has an excellent rate of fire but relatively weak damage. Rocket Launcher (red) -The rocket launcher is slow, but its shots do a tremendous amount of splash damage. It does not appear until near the end of Mission 2. Items: Medals: -These give you points. Points are good for the soul. Badges: -These increase your score multiplier. POW: -These increase the strength of your weapon. When you die, you will drop only one POW icon, no matter how many you collected prior to being killed. Grenades: -This item completely refills your grenades, up to your character's maximum limit. M-Crash: -This briefcase-looking item adds one M-Crash special attack to your inventory. Health: -These come in multiple sizes, refilling a lot or a little health. Life-bar Increase: -This refills your health and extends your life bar. The more you have, the longer it gets. Vehicles and Turrets: Just approach a vehicle or turret to get in it. Turrets can only hold one person, while jeeps and tanks seat three. Each vehicle can sustain a fixed amount of damage before it explodes, but the explosion does not hurt players. Tanks do not appear until Mission 5. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Gameplay Tips -------------------------------------------------------------------- -In single-player, the rocket launcher is too slow to do you much good. However, it's killer on bosses. Make sure you pick one up right before the final boss. -In multiplayer, one person should carry a rocket launcher while the other players use faster weapons. -Throwing grenades farther than the default distance takes time and will often get you shot. Just run up and grenade targets whenever possible. -It is often better to run through missions as quickly as you can rather than trying to kill every enemy. They tend to endlessly respawn, you know. Just make sure you don't pass up the hostages and secret areas prior to earning their Achievements. -Don't forget to use your M-Crash attacks before dying. You get more when you respawn. -Instead of immediately spamming your M-Crashes during boss fights, wait until the boss is firing at you. The M-Crash will eliminate the boss' fire, helping you avoid damage. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Achievements -------------------------------------------------------------------- These are listed according to their difficulty and how many players are required to unlock them. All Achievements but Veteran and Mercenary can be unlocked on any difficulty level. All Achievements can be unlocked in local multiplayer or online. Single- or Multiplayer: Reckless Driver: 20 Points --------------- Just hop in a vehicle and run over 40 enemies. You can easily do this in Mission 1. If multiple players are in the vehicle, everyone will earn the Achievement. One Man Army: 7 Points ------------ Simply kill 200 enemies. You can do this in Mission 1 if you stick around long enough. Brasso: 10 Points ------ Get a 12X Score multiplier. This requires you to avoid being hit for a while, so wimpier players may have a little trouble. Still, you can easily increase your multiplier by killing enemies from a turret or vehicle. Hero: 10 Points ---- Get a 24X Score multiplier. Like I said, use a turret or vehicle if your reflexes aren't up to getting this on foot. Humanitarian: 10 Points ------------ Save 25 prisoners. Just shoot a prisoner's cage until he is released. You should get this one during the second mission. Sleuth: 20 Points ------ Find all 10 secret areas. There are two per level, and you must grenade certain walls to find them. You have to find them all in one playthrough. -Mission 1 1: Just after the start of the Vehicle Section, look for a red flower on the left wall. 2: Immediately after the vehicle section ends, grenade the flower on the left wall. -Mission 2 1: At the beginning of the level, between the first two prisoner cells, a blue flame marks the left wall. 2: About 2/3 of the way through the level, near the end of the canyon, some tank tracks lead into the wall on the left. An enemy vehicle attacks form the right side as you approach. -Mission 3 1: After riding the 1st flying platform, you'll soon come to a statue that you must detroy to enter the temple area. An APC attacks. To the left of it is a detructible statue, leading to the 1st secret area. Contains: Health Up! 2: Shortly afterwards, you'll walk right past a wall where troops throw grenades at you, but you can't hit them until you walk around the wall. Walk slightly north and there will be a blue circle on the right wall. Contains: 2 prisoners, 3 medals, health -Mission 4 1: After the section with the raised wooden planks, you'll gain access to the first turret. There is an enemy barracks just northeast of the turret. The hidden area is found in the right wall immediately above the barracks. Contains: Medals, badge 2: At the very last bit of the swamp, just prior to entering the base, there's a wall on the left with blue barrels on top of it. Contains: Score multiplier, 3 medals, grenades -Mission 5 1: At the mission start, it's the third building (the one with flags on its face) up on the left. Contains: 4 medals, flamethrower, prisoner, grenades, enemy barracks 2: Once you get the 1st tank, go north until you see a building on the left with flags on its face. Hop out of the tank and grenade it. Freedom: 25 Points ------- Rescue every prisoner in the game. This requires finding the secret areas in Missions 1-3 and 5. You have to do it all in one playthrough, like a man. Mission 2: 30 prisoners Mission 3: 12 prisoners Mission 4: 9 prisoners Mission 5: 14 prisoners Madman: 30 Points ------ You have to get a 24x score multiplier in every level, all in one playthrough. Use vehicles or turrets to effortlessly increase your multiplier. Veteran: 7 Points ------- Beat the game on Black Ops difficulty. This is much easier in single-player than multiplayer. You have to beat the whole game from start to finish in a single playthrough. You can do it! Mercenary: 15 Points --------- Beat the game on Suicide Mission difficulty. Remember to spring through the game as much as possible. Don't pass up the secret areas though, as they contain useful items. Whenever your life is dangerously low, use M-Crash attacks to help you live a little longer. Beating the game on Suicide Mission does not unlock the Veteran Achievement, sadly. Multiplayer Only: Armored Attack: 6 Points -------------- All 3 players must enter the tank in Mission 5. You can use the Mission Select (after unlocking it) to easily get this one. Combined Assault: 40 Points ---------------- Beat the entire game with another player in one playthrough. This is tough since you must share lives and enemies fire way more bullets in multiplayer. Make sure you're good enough to beat the game by yourself and then find a decent partner! Avoid using Fox in two-player games since she is an expert character. The good news is that only one player has to actually survive the last boss - everyone will get the Achievement. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Unlockables, Cheats, and Glitches -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission Select: -Beat the game on any difficulty to unlock this. Note that when selecting a mission, you will be unable to earn the Humanitarian, Madman, Mercenary, Sleuth, Veteran, and Combined Assault Achievements. Cheats: -The following cheat has been disabled by a software patch. I include it here for reference only: The Xbox 360 version has an online multiplayer-only cheat that makes things about a million times easier. At any time during online multiplayer, press the Guide button to bring up the Xbox 360 system menu. Press Guide, Back, or B to close to the menu. Then just resume the game. Your health, grenades, and M-Crashes will be refilled. Kind of takes the sport out of things, dontcha think? Glitches: -The Xbox 360 version has a sound glitch where the machine gun sound effect sometimes continues to fire even when the player has stopped shooting. This happened all through the ending credits for me once. It was very annoying. And why isn't there any ending music, Backbone Entertainment? -Another Xbox 360 glitch involves the screen refusing to scroll any further, preventing the player from progressing through the level. If you can manage to kill your character when this happens, the screen will probably resume scrolling as usual. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Special Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------- -Thanks to Xbox Live member Beldryn for finding many of the secret areas. -Thanks to Paul Haapanen for discovering the screen-scrolling glitch. -Thank you Xbox Live member DeathHeadsSkull for confirming the online multiplayer cheat (and everyone else who figured it out as well). -------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.
