===============================================================================
About the author:
===============================================================================
This Walkthrough is writen by Carlo von Ranzow (1984).
I wrote this walkthrough since I couldn't find any for this game at hardcore
difficulty. It's my first walkthrough ever. And I must say that it was fun
writing it. I wrote it while I played the game using the windows-button to
switch between the game and notepad. I wrote literal what I did in the game.
I tried to make this walkthrough as detailed as possible.
If you have any comments, questions or additional notes please feel free to
contact me at "carlo_avp2@hotmail.com".

===============================================================================
1.0 FAQ:
===============================================================================
FAQ:
Q1: What are trophies good for?
A1: Nothing. It's just for fun.

Q2: Why is this walkthrough so detailed? You describe almost every single
enemy?
A2: I wrote this walkthrough for the hardcore difficulty. On that difficulty
you will most likely need a walkthrough that covers how to kill the enemies
instead of just pointing out the way.

Q3: Can't you make this walkthrough less detailed?
A3: No. If you like it less detailed then you either don't need a walkthrough
or you are not playing on the hardcore difficulty.


===============================================================================
2.0 General hints/tips:
===============================================================================
Always heal/recharge at the end of a level so that you can always start the
next level at full health/energy. This saves you a lot of time
healing/recharging every time you need to restart a level.

Don't confuse the PC for a CE ! If you do you and the PC is charged-up
then you will die.

Don't use cloak vs alien's. It just doesn't work.

Stepping into the water will de-cloak you.


===============================================================================
3.0 Notes:
===============================================================================
-If you have an hardcore auto save and you want to complete a section/level
with another difficulty or character then your auto save will be overwritten.
So backup the save file(s) first! (or maybe use another profile? (needs to be
tested)

-When you start off in the first level the game will tell you that you cannot
save in a level. But the game does auto save between level sections.

-My level/section difficulties are rated as follow:
very easy - easy- medium - hard - very hard.
This is based on the following facts:
-How long levels take before it will auto save.
-How tough the enemies are to kill/bypass.
-Whether you can heal/recharge or not.

-At the start of each level I list how many kills you will make if you follow
this walkthrough exactly. But the numbers may not always be for the full 100%
exact. It's sometimes pretty hard for me to count the bodies and splashing
enemies.

-For the total level kills I count cyborgs as marines.

-I think that this game isn't optimized for the hardcore difficulty. Some
levels are harder then the last level. And the first level boss is harder then
the two final bosses in the final level! Really weird.

-Although I don't describe the movies after the levels this walkthrough may
contain spoilers. So be warned.

4.0 Abbreviations:
===============================================================================
Blue vision = T-Vision = thermal vision
CE = Charge Emitter
PC = Plasmacaster


===============================================================================
5.0 Weapons:
===============================================================================
1. Wristblades (No decloaking)
Bad weapon. I never use primary fire, the damage is too low. And the secondary
fire can just take out a regular marine or scientist with 1 blow. You should
only use this in the level "Unexpected allies Section 1" since it is your only
weapon there. Note that this weapon has a little range. In fact, if you stand
to close to your enemy you may just miss him.

2. Combistick (No decloaking)
The primary fire doesn't have enough firepower. Just don't use it against
enemies. Only use it to destroy objects.
The secondary fire kills marines instantly. Best used to kill them while
cloaked and preferably from the back. Note that this weapon has a little
range. In fact, if you stand to close to your enemy you may just miss him.

3. Pistol
Now this is a totally useless weapon. It's the last weapon you will find. It
just can't beat the Plasmacaster. The primary fire is ok. But the secondary
fire is really dangerous. You just tend to hit yourself with it draining all
your energy.

4. Speargun (No decloaking)
This gun's primary fire is very handy and funny too. If you headshot somebody
then his head will fly (with the arrow in it) till it reaches something
solid. Good for stealth missions when having to take out sentry guns.
The secondary fire is only for heavy enemies. It shoots multiple arrows in a
row. Don't forget to pickup the arrows after shooting them. If you shot on a
sentry gun then the arrow is gone. If you shot at a living being then the
arrow will be in his corpse till it disapears. If you made a headshot look at
walls and stuff behind the corpse (if there is nothing behind it then kiss your
arrow goodbye).

5. Plasmacaster
My weapon of choice. I usually just use the primary fire. The bolts can be shot
fast and can be use to take out targets at close and long range. Even if an
alien is right in front of you, you can take it out in 2 shots while back-
stepping.
If you hold down the primary fire button then it will charge-up. As soon as you
release the button it will shoot.
Hold down the secondary fire button to charge-up the PC. Then press the primary
fire button to release the bolt.
The secondary fire is dangerous! You mostly end up suiciding with it. It has
huge splash damage which hurts you a lot and can instantly kill you. Only
use it vs strong enemies at medium-long range in preferably wide areas with
no obstacles.

6. Disc
If you don't have the Plasmacaster yet then this weapon is a good choice. It
doesn't use any ammo, just energy. And like the Plasmacaster it has an
auto-aim function. But it only auto-aims when you have the proper vision
turned on vs the enemy you want to disc.

7. Netgun
You will find almost no additional ammo for this gun. So only use it when you
really have to. It's generally used for protecting yourself from big aliens
like thePredaliens.

8. Remote bombs (No decloaking)
I never found additional ammo for this weapon. It's only used in the level
"Unexpected allies Section 2" (it's your only ranged weapon here) and maybe
in the final level. If you direct hit on an enemy then it will explode doing
considerably more damage then when just throwing it on the ground and
detonating it.
But be carefull, if you miss an enemy, then kill it with a second bomb with
direct hit, the first bomb could still be there. Those bombs will
automatically detonate within a time limit. So if you ever miss just hit
the detonate button to be sure.
