03: The Tactics HUD

## Featured in...

Press and hold [ Spacebar ] to pause the game and open the Tactics HUD. Along three sides of the Tactics HUD overlay are tabs with icons representing the actions your squad can take.

Clicking the weapon icons changes the firearms used by each squad member; there are also hotkeys available. Pistols [ F1 ] and Shotguns [ F2 ] are handy at short range. Assault Rifles [ F3 ] excel at medium range. Sniper Rifles [ F4 ] dominate at long range. You can also cycle through Shepard's weapons outside the Tactics HUD by using [ ] ].

Each character can equip all four weapon types, but not all characters are TRAINED to use each weapon. If you order a squad member to use a weapon they are not trained in, their accuracy and damage will suffer.

Clicking on Power icons orders the use of a combat Power. Powers range from Kaidan' biotic abilities, to Ashley's combat techniques, to Tali's engineering skills. Moving the mouse cursor over a Power's icon will describe its effects.

At the top of the two squad member's menus are four additional buttons that allow you to issue squad commands to them. These commands can also be issued outside the Tactics HUD by using hotlkeys.

Move (hotkey [ Up Arrow ]) - Move to the location under your targeting reticle.

Hold Position (hotkey [ Right Arrow ]) - Hold current position.

Attack (hotkey [ Left Arrow ]) - Attack the enemy under your targeting reticle.

Rally (hotkey [ Down Arrow ]) - Return to Shepard's side.

At the top of the Tactics HUD are Shepard's Power hotkey Quick Slots. As Shepard levels up, you gain new combat Powers. To add new Power to your Quick Slots, click and drag any Power icon from Shepard's tab to a Quick Slot.

You cannot utilize your squad member's powers using the Quick Slots.

10: Conversations

## Featured in...

To speak to characters, approach them and press [ E ]. Most will open the dialogue wheel conversation interface; some will simple respond with a comment.

To select Shepard's responses, move the mouse over the option that best suits your personality and click the [ Left Mouse Button]. Friendly or diplomatic options are placed on the top "spokes" of the conversation wheel, while angry or rude options are placed on the bottom. The spoke directly to the right is the default response that is not particularly friendly or hostile. You will never miss any content by choosing the default options, allowing you to safely skim through a conversation.

The spoke directly to the left is used for "investigate" options. Investigate options provide additional background, but are never required to advance the plot. If there are many investigation options, choosing the "investigate" spoke opens a sub-menu of questions. To return to the main topic select the "Return" option on the right-hand spoke.

Only Shepard may gain the persuasion Talents of Charm and Intimidate. When persuasion skills are used in conversations, they are placed on the left-hand side of the conversation wheel, and distinguished by color. Charm options appear blue, and Intimidate options red. If you lack the level of Talent required to access a persuasive option, it will be greyed out and un-selectable.

Your squad members have their own opinions on the sights of the galaxy. If you hear them make "thoughtful" noises as you walk through an area, try talking to them.

 **Walkthrough**

***007: Nightfire*** is a first-person shooter video game that is based on Ian Fleming's British secret agent James Bond, of the secret British intelligence agency, MI6. This game marked Pierce Brosnan's fourth video game appearance as James Bond before the release of his fourth and final Bond film *Die Another Day*, however, in the video game, his likeness was featured, but not his voice, which was provided by Maxwell Caulfield. *007: Nightfire* was developed by Eurocom for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox video game consoles. Gearbox Software developed the game for Microsoft Windows, which Aspyr later ported to Mac OS X. The PC releases are substantially different from the console releases, featuring different missions and a modified story line. *007: Nightfire* was published by Electronic Arts in 2002. In 2003 Electronic Arts released *007: Nightfire* for the Game Boy Advance, this time developed by JV Games.

## Story overview

*007: Nightfire* begins in Paris during New Year's Eve where James Bond saves the life of *Dominique Paradis*, a French DGSE agent, from terrorists trying to set off explosives during the New Year's celebrations; he disarms the bomb with an EMP device and averts disaster. James Bond is then sent to the Austrian Alps to investigate a stolen microchip developed by the United States for space-based air missile defense platforms. His destination in Austria is the castle of Raphael Drake, the head of Phoenix International, which is allegedly a greenhouse organization which disarms nuclear weapons.

103rd Marine Division

## Featured in...

The old saying "every marine is a rifleman" still holds true in the Alliance. Every marine enlistee, from clerk to sniper, goes through a period of infantry training. As a result, the 103rd Marine Division is Earth's largest collection of Special Forces soldiers. Officers from notable battles such as the Skyllian Blitz and the First Contact War, run harsh training exercises in a variety environments, insisting the marines be prepared to storm any beach, on any planet. This training has been useful in the Reaper War, as the 103rd can be fighting in an arctic desert one week, crawling through jungles the next.

*If the player has located Special Ops Team Zeta:*
UPDATED

Nicknamed the Bridge Burners, Team Zeta are combat engineers who specialize in destroying enemy fortifications in hostile territory. This tight-knit group of men and women are respected for their knowledge, renowned for their tenacity, and infamous for their enthusiasm.

*If the player rescues the students from Grissom Academy, and elects for them to go into support roles:*
UPDATED

Biotic students from the Grissom Academy have joined the 103rd Marine Division as a support unit. The students focus their biotics into barriers that shield the marines and help control the flow of the battlefield.

*If the player schedules the first interview with Diana Allers aboard the Normandy.*
UPDATED

Commander Shepard's interview with Diana Allers about the attempted takeover of the Citadel noted Cerberus' tactical missteps, which improved the morale of Alliance ground forces.

*If the player locates the Alliance Marine Reconnaissance Unit War Asset.*
UPDATED

The Alliance Marine Reconnaissance Unit flies recon drones and occasionally puts live recon teams into play. AMRU works hard to ensure information is up-to-date, using VIs to disseminate intel as quickly as possible.

* ***Wii-named***

Remember the Nintendo Revolution? Well, you can forget about it, because Nintendo announced the long rumored name change. It was always known that "Revolution" was merely a temporary code name, but no one expected them to ultimately choose a non-existant word to replace it - Wii. Pronounced "We", the name is supposed to represent inclusiveness, with two I's, representing two peple, or two controllers. "ii" is also a Japanese word for "good", though only fans have been pointing this out, and not Nintendo themselves. Fan reaction is mixed, or in some cases, negative.

Ubisoft reveals the first Nintendo Revolution screenshots in the pages of Game Informer with Red Steel, an upcoming action game with at least some parts in first-person perspective. You play an American battling the Yakuza in Japan, using at least a gun and a Katana. The game is said to be highly immersive, making use of the unique motion sensing control of the Revolution, with game mechanics such as sparing the lives of your enemies and gaining respect.

***100 Classic Book Collection*** is an educational handheld console program published by Nintendo and developed by Genius Sonority, which was released exclusively for the Nintendo DS on December 26, 2008. The program includes a hundred public domain works of literature. Despite the title, many of the included works are not novels, but plays.

*100 Classic Book Collection* features 100 books stored on a Nintendo DS game card. The player is required to hold the DS like a book and is able to adjust the text size. A bookmark feature allows the player to mark their place in a book, as well as resume from that point if the DS is powered off. Several of the works included are *Othello* by *William Shakespeare*, *Oliver Twist* by *Charles Dickens*, and *The Phantom of the Opera* by *Gaston Leroux*. Currently, 10 extra books are available to download through the *Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection*.

The software allows a reader to search for books in a number of different ways, such as by genre and length, for example. Players can also access introductions for the books, and read about the authors themselves.

 **Walkthrough**

**1nsane** is an off-road racing game developed by Invictus and published by Codemasters. It contains no plot and focuses heavily on multi-player.

Levels are set in real world locations, scattered throughout North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The actual design, however, is fictitious.

The single-player campaign comprises a series of championships in different vehicle classes, where the player unlocks new vehicles and locations, based on their score.

Vehicles range from heavy trucks to light buggies and are either fictional or inspired by actual production vehicles. Though the names do not correspond with any actual vehicle, the fact is evident both visually in-game and in the names of the game's files.

## Game Modes

* **Jamboree** - Find the active gate and be the first through it. As the gate is claimed it becomes inactive and another gate lights up. Follow the arrow to the next active gate. The winner is the first driver to claim the required number of gates.
* **Return the Flag** - Find the flag and keep it long enough to get back to the return area. Receive points each time you get it back to the return area. The first player to reach the target number of points wins.
* **Gate Hunt** - There are only so many gates available in your area and they are all active. They become inactive as they are claimed, so get through as many as you can, as quickly as possible. You would better be sure to claim more of them than your opponents, or you will loose.
* **Pathfinder** - All the gates are active and you need to claim them all. Get through every checkpoint in any order first and you will win. Look out for shortcuts that other players may not have spotted yet.
* **Capture the Flag** - Get hold of the flag then drive. You get points for holding onto the flag and bonus points for getting through the active gate with it.
* **Destruction Zone** - The longer you are in the zone, the more points you will get. You also rack up points by smashing into your opponents. The first to reach the target number of points is King of the Hill.
* **Off-Road Race** - A hectic race through the gates. The first to reach the required number of laps wins. Be sure you don't miss a gate, you can't score a lap until you have been through them all in the correct order.
* **Free Roam** - Go where you want to go, do what you want to do.
