— The amount of pressure you apply to the left analog stick

affects how your selected Commando moves. 

❑

To move slowly, push the left analog stick gently in the direction you want to move.

❑

To run, push the left analog stick as far as it will go in the chosen direction.

❑

To sprint, press the l button while pushing the left analog stick. The
Commando’s stamina drops during a sprint, so it will only last a short time. 

❑

Use the left analog stick to also control your Commando when swimming.

— When your Commando is near a person or an interactive object,

text describing the interaction/action will appear. Press the x button to initiate 
the interaction/action.

— When your Commando is standing over an item that can be picked up,

text appears alerting you to this. Press the x button to initiate the interaction; 
use the directional buttons to scroll through the pick-ups.

The use of stealth is imperative to the success of specific missions during each
campaign. There are a number of ways to remain covert during operations:

— Crouching and moving slowly helps you remain undetected 

by the enemy. To crouch, press the , button. Crouching also helps you avoid
battle damage.

❑

Remember: you can quickly sprint from the crouching position, find cover, 
then automatically return to the crouching position when you stop moving.

— The external view allows you to look around objects while using

cover. Use this to observe your enemy and remain undetected during missions. 
Press the directional buttons 3 and move the right analog stick to adjust the view.

— All Commandos can peer through keyholes. When your

Commando is standing in front of a door, make him look down or crouch; 
a contextual message will appear. Press the x button to enter keyhole view.
Press the x button again to exit the view.

— Use binoculars to survey the scene. Press the f button to activate

the binoculars.

❑

The f button activates weapon zoom if the selected weapon has that ability.

— The stealth kill 

allows you to eliminate your enemy

silently, without being detected.

— 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.

— 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.

— 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. 

❑

Press the d button to throw or place an item.

❑

— Use coins to create a noise to distract the enemy. The guard will leave his

position to investigate the noise.

❑

— 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.

— 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.

Stealth aside, you will also need to employ an equal measure of firepower to overcome
your opponents. Ordnance at your disposal includes:

— Grenades are effective weapons against armored and “soft” targets

alike; they are especially effective against massed troops.

❑

To throw a grenade, first select it, then press the d button to throw. 
The distance thrown depends on how long you hold down the d button.

(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, then press the d button to fire.
