BAD
BOYS
II
Over the past six months a powerful, new drug has been emerging
in the Miami scene and it is spreading fast. Orchid has been
pounced upon by the youth community for its short-lived
euphoric effect, but there are some dangerous side effects.
It’s highly addictive, with long-term usage causing serious
hallucinations; this has caused several bizarre deaths.
As key members of the Tactical Narcotics Team (TNT), you play
Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. You are familiar with the
dangerous effects of the drug and with the highly organised
brutality of the cartels that feed the market.
Most sinister has been the emergence of a legendary figure in
the East coast drug scene, Tulio Mendoza. He has been spotted
in Miami. As a general of the Columbian cartels he has massive
resources under his control. It is certain there is only one
reason for his presence, to snuff out the competition and
dominate the market.
Mendoza is thought to have links worldwide, however there are
rumours that in Miami he has created an alliance with the
Russian Mafia. He has remained untouched by the law. His total
disregard of human life is only matched by his desire to
constantly consume the finest Cuban cigars...

Policing the streets of Miami is dangerous work, but playing in
turn as Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett you have the right stuff
to take down the vicious criminals you meet.
Will you go in guns blazing or will you use cover to your best
advantage? Will you be able to arrest and disarm criminals when
under fire? Can you make sure your partner’s back is covered?

During your investigation you can switch between two main Game
Modes. Explore Mode allows you to explore the Miami environment
and look for evidence whilst dispatching criminals. If the
action gets heavy, use Cover Mode to take cover behind objects
and scenery.
As your investigation progresses, there are two additional game
modes: Sniper Mode and Boss Mode.
In Explore Mode you will see yellow Cover Points placed behind
objects and scenery. Move close to a Cover Point and it will
highlight orange. Now press the space key. You will move to the
Cover Point and enter Cover Mode.

COVER
M ODE
Using cover is the best way
to protect yourself while
taking down gun-toting
criminals. When you’re in
cover enemies can’t shoot you
(unless they come in from
behind). When you’re leaning
out of cover you present a
reduced target to your
enemies, greatly reducing
their chance of hitting you,
while you have the
opportunity to kick some ass.
This is the way to explore the
mean streets of Miami.
Investigate your world carefully,
try to find evidence linking
gang members to serious crimes
and make sure no one gets the
drop on you.

The best cops try to keep the kill count down,
and the arrest count up.
To arrest and disarm criminals, shoot them in the hands. They
will go down, hands above their heads and drop their weapons on
the floor. Feel free to use their dropped weapons; they won’t
need them where they’re going. Try not to shoot criminals after
arresting them; there is nothing worse than a maniac cop,
executing criminals in police custody.

WEAPONS
SUB MACHINE GUNS
P I STO L S
MP5 – The standard
police issue sub-machine, its
only negative point is the
relatively small clip size.
45c –
Standard
police issue
handgun. Very
reliable with a 12
bullet clip size.
45s – The
average pistol
on the streets
but not as
reliable as the
police issue 45c.
9mm Silenced –
Modified, silenced
handgun with a standard
12 bullet clip size.
Best used when
discretion is called for.
Enforcer – The
most powerful
handgun in the world. High
velocity bullets but with a
poor fire rate. Another
favourite of the more up-market
criminal.
Easy
9mm – The
Tactical Sub
Machine Gun –
preferred submachine gun of
criminals is cheap,
easy to maintain, has
a large clip size but
is inaccurate.
A silenced
sub-machine gun,
used where surprise
is advantageous.
R I F L ES
Carbine – The standard
police issue assault rifle, is
both powerful and accurate and
well regarded in the force.
SH O T G U N S
12 Gauge –
The standard police
issue shotgun. Highly reliable and most
useful for close range gun battles due to
its inaccuracy over distance.
Steygeur – A well-made assault rifle
that is marginally superior to the Carbine.
AK – The cheapest assault rifle on the
streets, is generally a good all
rounder, but has a suspect aim.
Spaz – More powerful than
the 12 Gauge, with a faster fire rate and larger
clip size, this is the king of shotguns.
14
Sniper Rifle – The
only weapon that is accurate over
massive distances. Highly powerful, but
with a long reload time; it can only be
used in the most special of circumstances.
