Also available for Download, Ace: Downloadable Hitman Guide
A bit rough around the edges, but every thing that i've talked about so far is in there, Ace.
******************************************************************************************************
 Quote:Looks like we're gonna be seeing some action, Ace.
Hello, Ace...You're attendin' Frank "Hitman" Hennessy's, mercenary for hire, class on combat survival. Well, i've finally done it, i've thrown in the towel after a lifetime of overthrowing dictators and taken up teaching. So, listen up, Ace, you might just learn a thing or two!
[color:#000099]
The Basics:[/color]
[color:#006600]
Assembling a team.[/color]
Quote:Like, I'm there, Ace.
The campaign begins before you even reach the LZ, Ace, hire the right Mercs to make life a little easier on yourself, consider landing with a Merc experienced in Night Ops, personally, i always like to have "Raven" in front of me., if you get my drift...
Check out the gear your boys are packin', always good to have a boy handy with an S.M.G. or a Medic the first few days, Ace.
Quote:Here's hoping this excursion is idiot-free, Ace.
Use the freakin' right ammo for the job Ace! Don't be like that pinhead Raider, wouldn't know a 9mm round from squirrel droppings! I've brought in "Ice" to cover Guns & Ammo.
What's up, dude? "Hitman" asked me to give you some on-the-job training. I've brought in some Ammo types that should come in handy, gotta stay ready for anything.
 Ball(Grey): Your basic lead, Dude.
 Hollow Point HP(Blue), or
 Glaser(Green): Whoa, dude... blood bath if the bad dudes have no armour!
 Armour Piercing AP (Red): For dipshits with pants!
 Match: When you gotta make the shot, dude, you can't go wrong with these.
 Buckshot: Man, you can blow the unarmoured bad dudes to smithereens with these bad boys!
 Shotgun Slugs: Eats armour for breakfeast, dude!
 Lock-buster Shells, for when you wanna enter with style, dude!
Quote:Burned-up my ammo, Ace.
Make sure ya have your gun fully loaded at all times, Ace, never can tell when you'll need every last round. I didn't get this far with an empty chamber!
Quote:Damn! Jammed gun's dangerous, Ace.
Lucky you have a back up piece on you, right, Ace? Well i'll be, ain't you a piece of work! Try pullin' the trigger. Ace, you might get freakin' lucky and unjam it before it's too late.

Boot Camp[/color]
Quote:
Taking heavy fire, Ace.
Don't forget to use cover, Ace, you can press the "Delete" key to get a better feel for your surroundings. If trees get in your LOS, hit "T" to clear things up. Remember, Ace, if the saps can't see you, they can't shoot you.
The "End" key will show you what's goin' on in front of you, Ace, your Line of sight (LOS) will be displayed. Press - or + for more Intel, and watch you rear ace, you ain't got eyes back there!
(CTH = Chance to hit, the fuller the red bar the more likely your gonna terminate your target, Ace)
Things have changed a bit since i first started, Ace, i'll let "Wolf" fill you in on the details.
Hold on to your socks, your about to get a crash course on dealing with slime balls the Peter Anderson way, this New Inventory (NIV) will leave you prepared no matter how many numbnuts get in your way. Take it easy on the trigger when using Auto Fire or you may fire off more rounds than you had intended!
Be prepared, L.B.E. stands for Load Bearing Equipment, TBC = Turn Based Combat, and RMB = Right Mouse Button.
When you're takin' heat the last thing you want is a Backpack on, only slows you down. Remember, Stay alert. They'll probably pop out the moment you drop your guard.
Firepower, the difference between life and death, you'll need to lay down suppression fire every now and again, or just blow something up. If you want to make it out in one piece, learn how to take out multiple targets and aim at strategic points.
[color:#000099]
Meeting interesting people:[/color]
Quote:
Put in a hell of a shift. Due for some for R & R, Ace.
If ya have to set up camp in the wilderness, Ace, do it in a building, old farmhouse, barn, Hell! it don't matter. I can never get a good night's sleep laying out in the open just waitin' for some sap to sneak up on me! Besides ace, makes thing a bit more cosy, especially if Raven is taggin' along.
If ya got no choice, Ace, get in behind a few rocks or trees, at least that way you have a chance to get a few rounds off when they turn up!
[color:#006600]
Dealing with an attack during the day in wilderness, (see above, Ace to make sure you're in the right spot).[/color]
Quote:Got a sap!
So, they got your nuts in a vice, Ace! Just keep your head down and your butt covered! Send your weakest guy to the rear (Yellow) to keep an eye out for any saps with brains or reinforcements.Up front,(Dark Orange)you need a Merc with a decent gun range ace, order him to where you most expect the saps to attack (Red Arrows).
Keep the freakin' door closed, Ace, keeps the draft out and leaves you less to worry about, have someone ready for unwelcome guests(Green) and keep an eye on those flanks (Red +'s). In this op "Nails" (Light Orange) has a good spot with a Shotgun, remember, use slugs for distance and switch to Buck Shot when you can smell 'em.
Quote:Something's gonna happen. I can feel it, Ace.
Know how many saps have occupied the sector, Ace, and keep a counta how many you bag. You can ready your gun by pressing "L" to look and then press it again when you see it turn red, this'll save you a bita time, Ace, and a few AP's (Action Points).
Whoa, nearly forgot, Ace, never walk past a window, always crawl and use "L" to pop up and see what's goin' on, remember, just because you can't see them ace, doesn't mean they can't freakin' see you. Only use "Page Up" when you know they're too far away to mix you up! Be patient, Ace, they ain't goin' nowhere.
Shoot from behind cover and know how many AP's it takes to get your butt back down again, Ace, take it away from your aim and your laughin'!
Quote:
Caught some noise, Ace.
Pay attention to what your boys hear, Ace, can save you a whole lotta pain if you know where they're coming from! If they know where it came from you'll see a white "Ping" blink on the location.
Quote:Attempting a shot like that would probably be a waste of time, Ace.
Now, i don't like wastin' ammo myself, Ace, but, don't be afraid to let off a round or two, hit the "F" key to get your gun range on a sap, sometimes it pays to take the shot, even if he is outta range. If nothin' else, Ace, lets 'em know you're still there, handy for drawing some heat away from an injured Merc or someone who's in it knee deep!
[color:#006600]
Night Operations with limited resources.[/color]
Quote:Ya ain't been in combat, Ace, 'til ya pulled an eyeball out of your pocket.
This is where it gets hot and heavy, Ace, lucky ya got me to help you out. First things first, Ace, sort out your equipment, if you're going in at night, ya need to be extra careful. You won't have time to spend your dough on fancy gadgets at the LZ, ya gotta make do with what you have.
Now's as good a time as any to use that Camo Kit you've been saving, give that and any Laser Sight, Pistol Suppressor, or Extended ear you have to your "Night Ops" guy, i hope you had the sense to hire a specialist, Ace, at night ya can't see jack shit out there, so load up your point man and stay behind him. Let him take the heat (Green Arrow), that's what he does, Ace.
Quote:I can't see a freakin' thing, Ace!
Stay away from light sources(Cross Bones)but use them to your advantage, even a two bit Merc like Gasket can get the drop on a sap if he strolls in to full light. Keep your belly close to the ground, Ace, those boys probably have Night Vision Goggles, use guerrilla tactics and don't stay in the same spot after firing, make the darkness your friend. You'll have a lot more accuracy firing from a prone position, Ace, but always work in pairs or as a team (Red Dot), you don't want to be caught with your trousers down.
Hit "Alt Z" to order all your boys to stealth mode, Ace, and "=" to select them all, "Page Down" to tell 'em to hit the dirt. Relying on sound is even more important at night(Red Box), you'll hear more than you can see without the proper equipment, Ace.
Wolf here, Night Ops are probably your best bet early on if you are relying on pistols and S.M.G.'s, the gunfights will be up close and personal so gun ranges will be shorter. Throw on a silencer and keep it discreet, Wolf out...
If your going in at night ace without Break Lights or proper gear, ya gotta stack the cards in your favour, choose your entry point carefully, somewhere nice and quiet (Large Green Dots), move slowly over short distances and stop every now and then to take in your surroundings (Green Eye). Don't forget, Ace, you can make Molotov Cocktails by tearing up a rag with your knife and stuffing it into a bottle of alcohol, be sure to set the night on fire!
Hit "G" to toggle on/off the light around your Merc, move towards cover and set up ambushes. Throw a rock to draw out the enemy and be ready to take 'em out, Ace, remember, make the most of the darkness. If you get caught in a thunder storm, be on your toes, Ace, a flash of lightning can give away your position and the rain makes it harder to see those saps!
Most importantly, Ace, take off the freakin' sun glasses!
