I'll give this summary:
(Character of choice)
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
-
-
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- (Fists and Tie up for example, these aren't special because used by more
then one Commando).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- (Tips how to use it, combine abilities)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
========================================================================
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
These are seen as normal abilities:
- Punch
- Tie Up
- Hit with bottle
- Use MP40, Rifle and Colt.
- Throw cigarettes/bottles/food.
- Use Whiskey's flute.
- Change to enemy soldier suit.
- Use medkits/food cans.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.1 The Green Beret
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Knife
- Bury in
- Radio/Transmitter
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Can use all normal weapons and abilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- Bury In: As the Green Beret has a normal use, he knows a way to not be
seen, Bury in. Use it when you know you are seen by the enemy to avoid
detection. Unless he gets out you can't do anything with him.
- Knife: It works the same as Punching + Tie Up, but this is fatal, and
makes more sound. Don't use unless a quick kill is needed.
- Radio: This device gets your enemy attention, so they will all go towards
the radio. Nice with grenades or mines.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- Spy or Sapper. Then they can give a silent, but also hard way to disable
the enemy.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.2 The Sniper
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Sniper Rifle
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Can use all normal weapons and abilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- One Special Ability, but he's one of the best. If you have enough ammo,
your enemy isn't save. Shoot out of Towers and Windows to make an
excellent approach.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- Any shoot command. This means all. Set others on guard and select the
Sniper to remove complete armies.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.3 Diver
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Diver suit/No air needed underwater
- Harpoon
- Entering Hook
- Throwing Knives
- Inflated Boat
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Can use all normal weapons and abilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- Suit/Harpoon: He's unbeatable underwater. Nice to go on land sneaky,
and get in a building with the Hook.
- To bad the game hasn't so much water.
- Boat: His boat isn't that good. Although you can make a nice escape
with it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- Solo usage. Because anyone else need Oxygen, the Diver mostly works on
his own.
- Although they can all use the Hook once it's on it's place to get in.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.4 Sapper
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Use any type of explosives: Grenades, Timed Bombs, Tank Turrets, Mines,
Bazookas and Remote Bombs
- Detect any defuse mines
- Cut wires
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Can use all normal weapons and abilities.
- He's very slow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- He will be the commander of your team most of the times. He's the one
who blows it all up, opens the way and removes the traps.
- Grenades are very handy with troop concentrations.
- Watch out with the Timed Bomb, be out in time.
- Take as many mines as you can, you don't know how much you're going to
use.
- Many men in a little hut? Throw a grenade inside.
NOTE: When defusing a mine, defusing it again once the defusing starts to
complete it early.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- Green Beret. Bring them all together with Beret's radio, one grenade
and... boom.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.5 Driver
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Use Molotovs
- Command special vehicles
- Use trap wire
- Use trap
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Can use all normal weapons and abilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- Molotovs work almost the same as grenades with one disadvantage: the
soldiers burn up, so no equipment. Use grenades if possible.
- The Driver is nice for some vehicles, like the Rhino Tank, although
there are not much.
- Wire soldiers is very, very nice.
- The traps mean kill, so works the same as a mine. If needed, do it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- Sapper in a Rhino. Otherwise he works alone.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.6 Spy
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Disquise as any enemy rank: Soldier, Lieutenant, Commander, Commander
in Chief.
- In rank Lieutenant or above orders can be given.
- Use Syringe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Punch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- IMO the best commando. Once you get your hands on a Commanders Suit
you're unstoppable.
- Commands: (YOU) Lieutenant -> (ENEMY) Lieutenant = Only attention
(YOU) Lieutenant -> (ENEMY) Soldier = Look there
(YOU) Commander -> (ENEMY) Lieutenant = Look there
(YOU) Commander -> (ENEMY) Soldier = Look there/Walk
Against any commander of the enemy he'll be detected, even if he has a
Commander suit on. As soldier you aren't able to talk, but you're not
detected unless it's a Commander.
- Distract enemy to let them look at another location, then hit them with
someone else.
- Use Syringe really when needed, if you've someone that can Punch, use
that instead. If you use it, use 2 to knock the person out.
- Syringe usage: 1 Syringe = Unstable, return in 2 sec.
2 Syringes = Knocked out, can be tied
up.
3 Syringes = Instant kill.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- Anyone with Punch, prever Thief. The "Punch" guy hits the enemy once
they're distracted. The Thief is faster than others, so best to use
to knock a distracted opponent out.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.7 Natasha
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Disquise as attractive woman (by default).
- Use lipstick to distract them only to Natasha.
- Can use Sniper Rifle on the field.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Punch and Tie Up (!!!).
- Sniper Rifle out of Windows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- Distract them to let them be knocked out.
- She has free passage, just like the Spy in Commander Suit. With the same
exception too, with a Commander she's detected.
- With only Natasha you won't get far, no Punch and no Tie Up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- Any Puncher who can tie up too. Nice results, but almost the same and
even weaker than the Spy.
- Or the Sniper, to of course get a double result.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.8 The Thief
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Climb on buildings, through windows, behind walls, under beds and on
poles.
- Sneak up on enemy and take stuff.
- Ultimate running speed (ultimate sound too).
- Lockpick almost any lock. He's the only one who can open silver boxes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- Tie Up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- Hit and run if with nobody else.
- With someone who can Tie Up: run towards the enemy and knock down. He's
really that fast.
- Sneak into and inside buildings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- All other than Natasha, which makes the first mission very difficult.
- The Thief can make fast results if with the Spy.
========================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.9 Whiskey
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
========================================================================
Special Abilities:
- Bark
- No enemy of the enemy
- Detects mines
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't use:
- All, come on it's a dog.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies:
- Use Whiskey's whistle to bring stuff from the one to another Commando.
- A nice helper with mines. Put him in the middle of a mine field and let
the Sapper do the rest.
- Because the enemy isn't seeing him as an enemy, it's Bark can be used
all the time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can best be combined with Commando(s):
- The Sapper with mines, all with transport.
========================================================================
