CHARACTERS At the beginning of the game you can choose from: Bond Natalya Trevelyan Ourumov Xenia Valentin Boris Valentin Mishkin Once you advance through the game a bit, you can choose four new characters: Jaws Mayday Oddjob Baron Samedi Once you actually finish the game on any difficulty, you can choose from many more, including: Russian Soliders Russian Commandants Russian Infantry Janus Marines Naval Officers St. Petersburg Guards Siberian Guards Siberian Special Forces Arctic Commandos Jungle Commandos Janus Special Forces Scientists Civilians Moonraker Elites Helicopter Pilot (one of my favorites) You can have a total of 37 characters when you complete the game. This is a list of the characters that have advantages or disadvantages over the others. Jaws is very tall and easy to hit, and can easily shoot over someone at close range (which you should take advantage of in the main game) Baron Samedi is also rather tall, but not nearly as bad as Jaws. Oddjob is very short and very tough to hit. Great for beginners. The female Moonraker Elite is another short character and can be tough to hit. Boris is also pretty short. Valentin is rather easy to hit (cause he's the fat guy). The Siberian Special Forces can blend in with gray walls. LEVELS! Facility- The Facility from the real game. One of the smaller arenas. Caves- A big arena that is rather dark. Library- It's one of the biggest arenas, consiting of the Stack and the Basement. Basement- If you go here, you can't get into the Stack. This arena is small and dark. Stack- Well lit and with lots of catwalks. One of my favorites. Complex- A big twisting place with many paths and secret passages. Temple-A rather small level with a big room in the center. Good for beginners. Bunker- Large and well-lit. This is the bunker from the original game. Archives- Small and twisty, this is a tough one. Exploding desks and crates everywhere. Egypt (secret)- Very large and lots of cover. Try to take out your target from above. Game Modes Normal You Only Live Twice- You get two chances. The object is to see who will live the longest. The Living Daylights- Flag Tag with guns. The person with the flag cannot defend themself. Person with the flag longest wins. Man with the Golden Gun- Once someone gets the Golden Gun, all they need is one shot to kill someone, even if they are wearing armor. Licence to Kill- Any hit means instant death. Even a slap in the face is deadly. Team- You can team up 3 on 1, 2 on 2 or 2 on 1. Just be careful not to shoot your teammate.

I'm unarmed!" -Oreo "All the more reason you should be running!" -Ed the Moogle -Duck in the dead ends and blast people as they walk by. -Try to take out your target from above. -In the darker levels (Like the Caves) persons with darker clothes will have a small advantage. -Plant mines under boxes of ammo or Body Armor. Then wait until someone comes to get it. They'll never know what hit 'em! -Sometimes if you shoot boxes of ammo (not explosives) enough, they will split into two. -Power weapons can often shoot through doors and thin catwalks. -A sneaky way of attack is to wait inside an air vent and blast anyone that walks by. -Shots to the head can drain more than half of an opponent's life bar or armor. -Sidestep to avoid shots. -Leave Proximity Mines in the shadows so they will be tough to see. -Drop Proximity Mines or Remote Mines to cover your tracks if someone has a powerful gun. Stage Hints Facility -Hide in the bathroom stalls and fire through the door with a power weapon. -Close the door behind you when you are being chased to delay your pursuer. -When you get killed, you may pop up next to someone. So watch out. Caves -Stick to the shadows. Basement -You'll be fighting up close down here, so aim for the head. Complex -The best place to attack is in the vents and balconies. If someone comes from behind, blast them in the head. Bunker -Duck under the stairway to the left of the entrance to the main room and blast someone as they walk in. -Up the same stairs is usually the weapon of choice for that scenario. Archives -Use the bookshelves as cover. Egypt -You'll usually be fighting up close in here too. Tricks Up to three people can play as the same character! Set the game to four players, have Player 4 choose the character to be duplicated. Set to three players, have Player 3 choose the same character, set to two players, set back to four players. If you really want to go insane, turn on No Radar. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
