5.0 The Soldier classes:

SCOUT
The SCOUT KIT is equipped with a long-range sniper rifle, which 
allows him to really reach out and touch someone at a distance.  
He can also spot for teammates who are in an artillery seats 
(vehicles or ships). To do this get your binoculars out 
and press  left click. This will place a camera for a certain 
amount of time, which your teammate can use. 
You can only spot on one location at a time. 

Inventory:
1) knife
2) Cold.45
3) sniper rifle
4) Mark 2s
5) binoculars


ASSAULT
The ASSAULT KIT is equipped with an Browning Automatic Rifle(BAR), which is best 
at taking out infantry. Because of the guns recoil it is most 
accurate in prone.

Inventory:
1) knife
2) Colt.45
3) BAR
4) Mark 2s


AT
The ANTI-TANK KIT is equipped with an anti-vehicle weapon. Most 
vehicles have their heaviest armor in the front, so the best 
tactic when attacking is to hit them in the flank or rear. Be 
careful of hiding infantry.

Inventory:
1) knife
2) Colt.45
3) rocket launcher
4) Mark 2s


MEDIC
The MEDIC KIT is equipped with a very effective short-range sub-
machinegun.  However, the true value of the medic is the ability
to heal teammates. To do that, equip yourself with the MediKit, 
get near the wounded teammate and press the FIRE button. Keep an 
ear open for cries of "MEDIC!". If you look at the MINIMAP you will 
see a red cross icon indicating the wounded teammate's location.

Inventory:
1) knife
2) pistol
3) sub machine gun
4) grenades
5) medikit


ENGINEER
The ENGINEER KIT is equipped with a standard issue rifle(Sniper Rifle without a scope. The 
rifle has heavy stopping power but a long reload and 5 bullets. 
The real value of the engineer is his ability 
to repair vehicles and plant explosives, landmines and 
demolition packs. To repair a vehicle, get yourself the 
wrench and press left-click while near the damaged vehicle. You can 
also deactivate landmines using your wrench. To detonate the 
demolition packs after you have laid them out press the ALTERNATE 
FIRE button to equip the detonator. Press FIRE to detonate. 
Keep your ears open for teammates who need their vehicle repaired. They will 
appear in your MINIMAP as a wrench icon thing.

Inventory:
1) knife
2) Colt.45
3) rifle
4) demolition pack
5) mines
6) wrench


THE VEHICLES:
in a vehicle you can switch positions by using your the
keys 1-6.

AIRCRAFT CARRIER
The AIRCRAFT CARRIER is close to supplanting the Battleship's 
supremacy on the seas. With its brood of dive-bombers and 
fighters it can launch attacks outside of the Battleship's range.
It can also protect itself from an air attack. The LCVPs at the rear 
of the ship can be used to make beach landings.

DESTROYER
The DESTROYER is a multi-purpose ship. Its main role is an 
anti-submarine escort. You can also use its cannons for shore 
bombardment. It has small defenses against air attacks. The 
LCVP's at the rear of the ship can be used to make beach landings.

FIGHTER(Plane)
The FIGHTER is the fastest and most maneuverable vehicle in the 
sky. It combines excellent air cover and decent ground attack. With machine gun fire and bombs. 

DIVE-BOMBER(Plane)
The DIVE BOMBER is a 2-person vehicle which provides excellent 
ground attack with decent air cover. A back-gunner 
position is useful when a teammate needs a quick pick-up. 

LIGHT TANK
The LIGHT TANK is an infantryman's worst nightmare. A driver-
controlled cannon and machinegun coupled with a couple of
mounted machinegun for anti-air and anti-infantry makes this
two-person vehicle very versatile. Be careful of Heavy Tanks or 
hidden anti-tank infantry.

APC (Anti Personnel Carrier)
The APC is one of the most versatile vehicles on the 
battlefield. It can provide light armor protection for 6 
soldiers as well as anti-air and anti-infantry support from it's 
machinegun. Also, any soldier seated in the passenger compartment 
will automatically be healed and their ammo will be replenished. 
It will also replenish the ammo of any vehicle within a 10 meter 
radius of the APC.

SCOUT CAR
This 2-person vehicle is the fastest vehicle, and least 
armored. It is best used to quickly penetrate the opponent's line 
or for those quick getaways.

STATIONARY MG
The STATIONARY MG presents a difficult defensive position to 
attacking units. It can mow down any unprotected infantry within 
seconds. It is useless against armored tanks. You will also 
want to be careful, but the machinegun often over-heats.  

ENTER/EXIT VEHICLE
When you are near a VEHICLE/STATIONARY WEAPON, press E to enter/
exit vehicle

6.0 Improving Gameplay Performance
==================================================================

Some machines will benefit from experimenting with your Network, Video and Sound options:

Internet or network performance

  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR AN AWESOME INTERNET PERFORMANCE!

- Before joining an Internet game you should check the settings 
  under CONNECTION SPEED in the Internet tab to make sure that 
  you have the appropriate connection type set. If you experience 
  lag while on an Internet game, try setting your 
  Connection Speed to the next lowest setting.
  
- JOINING MULTIPLAYER GAMES:
  To get the best performance given your computer I recommend tp
  you to follow these guidelines:

  HARDWARE
  Minimum system 	- Join servers that have 20 players

  Recommended systems	- Join servers that have 20 players

  High end systems	- Join servers that have 32 players
  
  BANDWIDTH
  Modem users 		- Join games with a maximum of 16 players.
  
  ISDN users 		- Join games with a maximum of 24 players.
  
  ADSL/Cable users 	- Join games with a maximum of 32 players.
  
  T1/LAN users 		- Join games with a maximum of 32 players.


Video settings

- Systems with 128MB of RAM should run the game with 
  video settings set to "LOW".

- From the Main Menu choose in the "Options" menu. Then select 
  the "Video" menu, select "Texture Quality" and experiment with 
  the slider in order to find the best setting for your computer. 
  You can also try lowering the "Graphics Quality" and "Effect
  Quality" in order to meet your machines level of performance.
 
- Also from the "Video" menu, uncheck the "SHADOWS" check box. 
  This will prevent the game from creating dynamic shadows for 
  soldiers and vehicles and should improve performance.

- Also from the "Video" menu, uncheck the "LIGHTMAPS" check box. 
  This will prevent the game from adding detailed shadows on the  
  buildings, which should improve your performance.

- Also from the "Video" menu, uncheck the "ENVIRONMENT MAPPING" 
  check box. This will remove the environmental effects on water,   
  vehicles and weapons. This should improve your performance.

- Also from the "Video" menu, try to reduce your view distance
  in order to increase performance. This will impact on game play
  since your opponents will see you before you can spot them.

- Also from the "Video" menu, check the "ALTERNATIVE SPAWN INTER-
  FACE" which will give you a black background when you bring up
  the spawn interface while playing instead of keeping the game
  view in the background. This improves the mouse sense in that 
  menu on slower machines.

- Try reducing your video resolution to 640x480 in your "Video" 
  menu. The lower the resolution, the easier it is for your 
  computer to run the game.

- From the "Video" menu you can try to lower your color depth from 
  32 to 16 bit by picking your resolution with the color 
  depth of 16 (800x600x16).


Audio Settings

- In the "Sound" menu you can try to lower your audio quality 
  by checking the 11khz checkbox. Also test with lowering 
  the number of channels used.

- Systems with 128MB of RAM should always use 11khz.

- From the "Sound" menu you can try to lower your sound detail
  to "MEDIUM" or "LOW". This will prioritize sounds harder so 
  that only the core sounds of the game get played.

- From the "Sound" menus second page you can activate "HARDWARE
  ACCELERATION" given that your soundcard supports this. This
  should improve your performance.


Modem users

- Software compression can impact performance for online mode. 
  I advise that you turn all software compression off when 
  playing Battlefield 1942 over a modem.



Maps:
- Game Mode: Select the game mode you wish to host: CONQUEST 
  The full game has Capture the Flag,Conquest
  Team Death Match and Co-Op. 
- Map List: Select the maps you want to have in your server 
  rotation. Each map has been designed with a specific number of 
  players in mind. Keep that in mind when setting the maximum

  more or fewer . 
 This game will feature 16 levels including Omaha Beach, The Battle of Midway, Stalingrad,
  and the Battle of the Bulge.


GAMEPLAY:

  views in vehicles.
- Nose Camera: Toggle this to allow players to turn off the cock-
  pit view while in airplanes.
- Autoswitch teams: Toggle this to cause teams to switch sides at 
  the end of each round. NOTE: This doesn't occur after each map 
  restart but after each round restart.

IP SETTINGS
   This functionality is to be used if you are running 
      Battlefield 1942 on a dual-processor system. In order
      to make this work do the following actions:
      - Install the game as usual
      - Make a copy of the installed directory
      - Run one dedicated server from the original install
        and another dedicated server from the copy.
- Detect Automatically: check this if you want the game to 
  check for the IP automatically.

==================================================================
7.0 Misc.
==================================================================

Landing Craft Maps
- When commanding a landing craft (the driver seat) use the arrow 
 keys up/down to lower and raise the ramp.  This helps your team clear the landing craft quickly.

Clear Key-Binding
- If you have mapped a key to a command in the Options section  you can clear it one of two ways:  1) You can map another key  to that command or 2) You can select that mapped key and press  the ESC to delete all keys bound to that command.

Player List
- The in-game player list (TAB) will only show the first 20
  players on a map. However, if your name will always be 
  displayed. If your score sets you as the 20+ player, your 
  name will be displayed as the 20th player on the list.

Landmines Demolition
- An engineer can disarm these by crouching and using the wrench. 
  When this is done, they will appear in your inventory up to the maximum allowed.

Sniper Zoom
- To stay zoomed in while sniping, keep the FIRE button depressed AFTER you shoot. As long as you keep that button pressed you will remain zoomed and can see the chaos your shot caused. Once you release the button, you will unzoom and reload.

Command Interface Spam
- When you use the command interface too many times in a row which could be considered as spamming, your interface will be disabled for a short while. 

Yellow Icons on Minimaps
- When someone use the command interface their icon will flash in yellow on the minimap for a brief moment. This is to give you quicker feedback on their location and thereby the importance of that message for you.

Alt-Tab
- Battlefield 1942 does not support the ALT-TAB functionality.  

WinXP Issues
- Fast-User Switching is not supported by Battlefield 1942.
- Limited User accounts are not supported by Battlefield 1942, you must have administrator access to install or uninstall Battle-field 1942. If you are playing under a Limited User account, you must use the Run as Administrator option.

Red Server Names
- Red server names indicate a password protected server.

8.0 Adamskas Flight School 101
==================================================================
Are you having trouble flying? Do you consider those airplanes as nothing more than flying coffins? Are your friends making fun of you while they fly upside-down underneath those bridges?

Well, read the following and soon they'll be the ones ejecting from their planes when you appear in the skies overhead. If this is your first time flying, you'll want to try the single-seat fighters first. Then the dive-bombers and finally the B-17 Heavy Bomber. Good luck 
and good hunting!

Key Board Flying
- Is the fine art of flying with the mouse eluding you? If so, try the style preferred by the developer, DICE, keyboard kombat. You can have a more stable flying experience by using the arrow keys on your keyboard, without all the ups and downs of mouse flying.  
And if that doesn't suit you, grab a joystick and try flying with that. But be warned, this isn't a flight-simulator.

Mouse Flying
- Is your natural inclination when flying to pull back or push forward to go up? In either case, Battlefield 1942 supplies you with the controls to do either. To toggle the invert function on/off go to Main Menu>Options>Controls>AIR tab and check or uncheck the INVERT MOUSE box.

Mouse Settings
- Setting the sensitivity of the mouse control can affect how easy you control your airplane. To change this setting go to Main Menu>Options>Controls>AIR tab and move the slider up or down. To see ifthe setting suits you, try climbing to altitude and dive then pull
up abruptly. You can always PAUSE the game; press ESC to go the main menu and change the setting on the fly. Press ESC to go back in the game and see if it's how you like it.

Bombs Away
- Dropping bombs is all about skill and putting the iron on the 
spot. Practice makes perfect, but in general you'll always want to drop that bomb sooner than you might think. The bomb will arc forward because of momentum. Use the camera controls F11-12 to see how they bombs drop.

CockPit
- While in the cockpit, hold the mouse-look button down (default is Left SHIFT) and use the mouse to look around. Release the button to go back to regular flying with the mouse.

No Cockpit Fighting
- If you want to really experience flying as it was meant to be...press F9 when you are in the cockpit. This will turn the cockpit view OFF (provided the server has Nosecam turned on). You can also fly in 3rd person mode by pressing F10.(My personal favorite.)


==================================================================
9.0 Troubleshooting
==================================================================

Video Card Drivers
- It is highly recommended to go to your video card manufacturer's website and download updated drivers for your card.


Sound Card Drivers
- It is highly recommended to go to your sound card manufacturer's website and download updated drivers for your card.

==================================================================
10.0 Other Issues
==================================================================

Sound Card
- Note that the game might not run if your system lacks a sound card. Also, your soundcard must support DirectX 8.0. This differs depending on operating system.


Game Resolution
- Changing resolution might affect the quality of the fonts in the  menu. The game operates best with the default resolution of 800x600x32.


Desktop Resizing
- Some systems may not resize the desktop upon exiting the game. The user can manually go into desktop properties and reset this.


Keyboard Controls
- Some PC keyboards cannot recognize certain combinations of 3 or more simultaneously pressed keys. This is an inherent problem to Battlefield 1942.


Ejecting CD-ROM
- Do not eject the CD-ROM while installing the game. This has resulted in blue screen crashes on some systems.


Changing Resolution while Hosting a Game
- When hosting a non dedicated server you should avoid changing your settings as some clients may get disconnected while the changes are being set.
