Secret conversation options:
In order to say things to other players not previously capable
of such as "Repair me", "I need a ride", and
others, create a character to your liking. Then, in your buddy
list enter CHAT-TEST. Note: This code will only work in
the rooms marked "Inevitable" with an arrow pointed
towards them.
Jack Kension.
If you add CHAT-TEST to your buddy list, Square
will be mapped to the "Voice Chat" function. The operation
which was previously assigned to Square will no longer
be available. For controller configurations A and B, Square
is "Target Lock", and for configurations C and D it
is "Negative". Press the Square activate the
Voice Chat interface. Groups of words and phrases will appear
around the reticle. The right side button cluster (Triangle,
Square, Circle, and X) selects from among
the groups presented. Green text indicates that another set of
choices will follow. Blue text represents the final selection.
You cannot move while the Voice Chat menu is active. If you want
to abort a Voice Chat sequence, press R2. All of the Voice
Chat selections have audio, and half of them have text. The audio
and text generated by the Voice Chat system is only available
on dedicated servers (which usually have an arrow in the server
name). Note that the Voice Chat interface will function on non-dedicated
servers, but there will be no audio or text. If you would like
to remove support for the Voice Chat test and restore the normal
functionality of Square, remove CHAT-TEST from your
buddy list, go to the controller configuration screen and make
sure that your desired control configuration is in place, then
save your warrior afterwards to preserve the restored controls.

Alternately enter EXPERT-A or EXPERT-B (for control
setting "A" or "B", respectively) in your
buddy list. Note: CHAT-TEST cannot be in your buddy list.
In addition to the previous secret conversation options, you can
now throw away items.
Open the conversation menu by pressing Square. This will
not work for player two and will prevent you from using target
lock if your configuration is set to either "A" or "B".
With this in mind, you may just want to go to rooms with green
arrows pointing at them, because they never have target lock.

Once you press Square to active the chat options, use the
following commands to say what you need faster.

Hint: Secret statue:
Start a one player bot match. Set "Bots" to "Off"
and "Max Team" to "1". Choose the Slapdash
level under the CTF heading. Go to the vehicle station and get
yourself a jet (easier to see). Follow the perimeter of the level
(next to the out of bounds wall) until you reach a clearing in
the top right corner. Get out and look in the area to find a statue.
godhand 2002.
Hint: Onslaught:
On the Onslaught mission, the best strategy for surviving the
Derm Forces is to simply repair the generator, then repair the
two turrets. One is on a hill and another is up towards the roof
opening. After that is accomplished, go up to the roof opening
where the flag is located in the capture the flag games, Then,
go to the nearest Inventory Station and select Medium Armor. Select
your pack as Remote Turret. Deploy two turrets on each end of
the turret side of the base and deploy a few more where each opening
to the basement is located (near each of the Inventory Stations).
Then, hide and let your Mortar Turrets (you should have switched
them at the beginning) and Remote Turrets do all the work. After
the first wave is over, switch to the Heavy Armor (Juggernaut
Armor) with a Shield Pack (activate it frequently).
Flingit4B.
Hint: Easy capture the flag:
In campaign mode on the sixth or seventh level, there is a capture
the flag game. If you go directly right from your base, you will
go over some mountains then see a stone structure. Go to it. Once
there, you will find a laser rifle. From where you found the laser
rifle, move down towards the enemy base. Go to the hills to the
right of the base. You will have a very good perspective of the
base. They might catch you and start going after you -- ski down
the hill and use your get at the end of the hill. Go to the tower
to steal their flag. Also, change your weapon when they find you
(the laser rifle is poor at close range). Get to your base as
soon as possible and score 2 points. You can do this repeatedly
until time runs out.
Tygrkyd.
On the capture the flag mode online or offline, look for the opponent's
flag. Then, look for the closest mountain. Climb the mountain
until you can barely see the flag. Then, at that area, use your
jet pack to fly to the flag and accurately catch it by pressing
Left Analog-stick Up. Do not release the jet pack button.
After catching the flag, hold the Left Analog-stick Down
to rise and avoid enemy fire.
BigIQ123.
Select capture the flag mode. Pause and go to the host. Select
enable bots off, take your teammate's items and go to the enemy's
base. Then, get the flag. Note: The turrets will still be on.
Onekid93.
In the sixth level (or any other CTF or C&H level), there
is a base sensor on top of the enemy base. If you destroy it,
the cannons cannot track a heat signature at too great of a range.
You can now take a Dingo, fly around the side, then grab the flag.
Hop back in the Dingo and you can make it out without getting
blown up, making for an easy capture. RagnaroksAvatar.
Hint: Satchel charges: On the first deathmatch, get to the tower. There will
be satchel charges that you can plant. Tygrkyd.
Hint: Quick ammunition: If you are in need of ammunition and do not have an
ammo pack (but for example have an energy pack), on some maps
there are bunkers with packs in them. If you do not have an ammo
pack and there is one on the ground, swap for whatever pack you
have to get instant ammunition. You can do this back and forth
as many times as needed. Flingit4B.
Hint: Free health: Get a repair pack. After doing so, if you are in a
vehicle and it blows up you are left with very little heath. To
fix this, press Circle to get the repair pack then hold
L2 to make it work. You should get your health back.
Richard
Horn.
Hint: Repair vehicles: To repair your vehicles, get a repair pack from a station
or remote station. Select your vehicle, then use it to your liking.
When it gets damaged from enemies, get to a safe spot. Use the
repair pack to restore your vehicle's armor bar. Douglas Ohlman.
Hint: Picking off enemies: There are many floating patches of land that are some
times useful to pick off enemies. Some of the soldiers will see
you before they get killed and start shooting underneath you.
If this happens, jump off, spin, and while in the air, shoot him.
Tygrkyd.
Hint: Single player Botmatch survival and
fighting tips: Use the following tactics to stay alive longer in a
battle and get a good number of kills and points before you die.
Always set your Inventory to Medium Armor and guns to Spinfusor,
Chaingun, Missile Launcher, and the Blaster. Save the Blaster
for last -- since it runs on jetpack fuel, you have unlimited
ammunition for it. Next, set your Pack to Repair Kit. When injured
badly, hide in a mountain pit on the sides and use this to regain
energy, then continue your assault. It also makes for healing
your Base Turrets and Sensors. Set your Grenades to Flares (in
case Heat Seeking Missiles target you or a fellow teammate. Set
your Vehicle to Fighter, since it has agility, powerful Twin Heavy
Blasters, and is easy to control. Now that you are set up for
battle, get to an Inventory Station. Get equipped, then get to
the Vehicle Station and hop into your Fighter. You are ready for
combat. Use the following tricks for a better chance of a successful
assault. Use your Fighter to fly over there, shooting at any enemy
target that you see. Get to their base, and if a Heat Seeker starts
to lock on to you, quickly land your jet somewhere safe. Get to
the top of a mountain where you have a good view on their base
and they can see you. Stealth is always the key to survival. Do
not blow your cover. Stand there, use your lock on, and shoot
at targets. To increase your chances, locate their main Sensors
and Base Turrets and destroy them. If there is no one in your
way and you are feeling lucky, try to make a run for their base.
Get in there and take out their generators to slow them down a
lot more. Then, get back to your hideout, making sure no one is
following or watching you. The AI opponents will not remember
where you respawn. If you are playing online, get in your fighter
and break back for the base, because you will survive too much
longer. MysticalSoulDX.
Hint: Run over enemy for fast kills: Set the map to be a capture the flag level and make
sure it has flat land, but a long stretch between the bases. There
can be mountains, but make sure the path back and forth is just
flat land. A good example would be Katabatik (a snow level). Get
your vehicle to a fighter and set it to third person vehicle under
the player menu during game play. This allows you to see where
you are driving a lot more than in a first person vehicle. Drive
around in the air between the bases, but stay away from the enemy
bases. They will more than likely have a heat seeking turret waiting
for you. When an enemy approaches your base, fly down and hit
him from above, from in front, from behind, or from the sides.
It will instantly kill him if done correctly. It can sometimes
be difficult, but will be easy most of the time. MysticalSoulDX.
Hint: Human bomb: This trick only works if you are playing a two player
botmatch with a friend or two player online. You need someone
next to you in real life so you can tell them what you are doing.
Get a satchel charge and plant it on them. If there is something
that needs to be blown out of the way, tell them where to go,
carry them on a transport, or lead them with a fighter jet or
hover bike. Have them drop down by the target, then press the
activator button. This causes the satchel to go off, blowing up
your partner, with a slight chance of blowing up the target. You
may need to repeat this a few times. MysticalSoulDX.
Hint: Anti-theft system: Use the following trick to prevent your fighter, bomber,
or other vehicle from being stolen online. Place a satchel charge
in the cockpit or seat and detonate it when you cannot find your
ship. Note: If you die, the charge disappears and if you shoot
it, it will explode. Starwrath89.
Hint: Air Fighter bomb: This trick works best if you have two people, since
you can have double the power. Damage yourself to the point where
one hit would kill you, then damage the fighter the same way.
To perform the entire trick, practice your dodging skills in the
fighter jet. Have both you and your friend plant a satchel charge
on the front of the fighter. Get into the fighter and fly to there
base. Find a good target and fly into it. You and both satchels
will explode. Your body will go flying, and the target will more
than likely be eliminated until the other team heals or replaces
it. MysticalSoulDX.
Hint: Supermine: Get a Satchel Charge and Mine Grenades from an inventory
station. Go to where you want to place the "supermine".
Next, look straight up and throw the charge. The mine should land
directly on top . Find a good observation point and watch as someone
sets it off. kleas.
Hint: Floating Fighter: To make your Fighter float in mid-air, fly as high
as desired. Thrust directly up, then just get out and try to land
on the back for front of the Fighter. If done correctly, the Fighter
will float in the air. You can do this trick to pick out other
players trying to sneak into your base. Note: If you fall off,
step into the cockpit, or have more then one person on the Fighter,
this will not work. This also requires some practice. Starwrath89.
Hint: Turrets and armor: The following turrets are best against the corresponding
armors: Flingit4B.
Missile Turret: Light and Medium armor.
Plasma Turret: Devastating to Heavy Armor as well as Light and
Medium.
Mortar Turret: Heavy armor.
Anti-Aircraft Turret: All armors.
Sentry Turret: Note: You cannot deploy it. The Sentry Turret destroy
anything and is best avoided.
Hint: Extra Turrets: Use the following trick if your base defense is not
working or the Turret limit is at maximum. Note: You need a level
with ships. Get a transport and land it near your base backwards.
Those that have Auto-turrets on the back will shoot as long as
they have a target. Note: If you get two transports, one will
disappear because it is one ship. Starwrath89.
Glitch: Crashed dingo: Go to Firestone level in capture the flag mode. Go
to the far right on the flat side to find a dingo. Onekid93.
Glitch: Unlimited armor: Play in two player mode and go to the edge of the boundaries.
Stand next to the boundaries and have the second player shoot
and kill you in the back. You will be pushed past the boundaries
and regain health from the first death and die from the second,
but the CPU will mark you as dead and you will have unlimited
health. Alex Duncan.
Glitch: Unlimited ammunition: Get heavy and log in the blaster as the only gun. Have
no pack and no grenades. Then, load your base healer guns as none.
Go to the base healer and activate. You will have every gun with
no ammunition, but can still shoot. Alex Duncan.
