By clicking on the 4 MODE buttons in the upper right of the game area the player can select between INVENTORY, COMMS, STATUS and OPTIONS mode. the most common mode used is INVENTORY.

 

Right clicking

Clicking with the right mouse button on a vehicle or prize brings up a list of options from PICK UP to INFO. In addition if the subject is a multi-man vehicle you can pick which spot you wish to command as in the example below..

 

in this case the player can select from six crew positions he wishes to command.

The positions on this vehicle are

Driver -he steers it

SMG turrets - the battle tank has four Submachine gun turrets in the Foward right to rear left postions

Turret - This will allow the player to use the main gun.

The player can then click on any position and get info or take over that position. Note the first player to enter a vehicle then establishes ownership of that vehicle and from then on only members of his team can enter that vehicle.

 

Choosing weapons.

 

By right clicking in the inventory area the player can assign his weapons to a particular slot. In the above example the player is holding a Laser pistol in his right hand and a grenade in his left hand slot. he has just right clicked on the "Molotov Cocktail" weapon and can now assign it to one of his weapon slots or drop it for a team mate. Note the "Crazy SMG" is highlighted in red this indicates you have no ammo available for the weapon and so is inadvisable to put it in a weapon slot.

 

 

Some Important numbers.

Located in the Infantry Alpha are a few key numbers.

First in the upper right:

MARINE: 30 means your marine has 30 Hit points. this is how much damage you can take before you die. IF you enter a vehicle then you might see anther number below it such as BUNKER 200. This means the bunker position you are in has 200 HP left which means you should be safe from damage for quiet a while.

 

 

Secondly in the Upper LEFT.

This indiactes how much AMMO the weapon in your left hand and right hand has respectively. in this case your LEFT hand weapon has Infinite ammo (denoted by a "---" and your right hand weapon has 100 shots left.
