There is a bonus game included on this DVD. If you want to play it,
first of all you have to fill out a questionnaire placed on City Interactive website. You will find a link to the online questionnaire website
using a special link within the game folder inside the Start menu.
Once you fill out the questionnaire, you will be given a unique code,
which you can use to install the bonus game. You will find a link to
the bonus game’s installation program within the game folder inside
the Start menu.
2. Playing the Game
2.1. Main Menu
Every time you run the game, you will first find yourself inside the Main
Menu. This menu presents you with the following options:
Single Player – by selecting this option, you will be able to either start
a new game, or load a saved game if you already have a game in
progress.
Multiplayer – this option allows you to set up a new multiplayer
session, or join an existing multiplayer session through the Internet
or LAN.
Options – the options menu allows you to configure the game in a
variety of ways. In particular, you will be able to reconfigure the controls, change the graphics settings to better match your hardware configuration.
Profile – Code of Honor 2 allows multiple players to maintain their
own separate game settings and saved games on the same installed
copy of the game. The Profile option allows you to create, load and alter the player profiles.
Quit – when you’re done playing the game, you will be able to exit
back to Windows using this option.
2.2. Getting into the Action
Once in the game, your goal is to complete the objectives set to you as
you go through the seven missions that form the single player storyline. You will find yourself fighting terrorists… and more. Rescuing
the hostages from the terrorists certainly won’t be easy!
Here are a few useful tips to help you get through the game:
Use the “lean” buttons to stick your head out from behind a wall and
4
spot enemies. The enemies around the corner can still spot and kill
you – but you’ll be a much tougher target.
Always be aware of your environment. Sometimes, you’ll be able to crouch
behind furniture and use it as cover. Be careful, however – wooden furniture can be shot straight through. This can be an advantage, when the
enemy hides behind a table, but when you’re the one hiding...
Sometimes, you can make use of your surroundings to get at the enemy in different ways. This is especially true in the factory, where you
can use valves to release hot steam and fire, killing your enemies without firing a shot.
Use the zoom option to increase your accuracy and shoot enemies
from a longer range.
Pay attention to the weapons that you use – not all of them are good
for everything. As a general rule, assault rifles are excellent long range
weapons, but in close quarter, they become significantly inferior to
smaller weapons like the MP5 or Bizon submachine guns. The latter,
on the other hand, are of precious little use when firing at long range.
Then there’s the shotgun – this weapon fires a number of pellets; the
further away the target is, the more the pellets will spread out along
the way. If all the pellets strike the same enemy, you are almost certain
to kill him. Once the pellets spread out, however, the weapon’s effectiveness is greatly diminished.
Sometimes, you can attack your enemies with the knife and kill them
silently, without alerting the others to your presence.
Grenades are always one of your most useful weapons. You can use
them offensively, to kill enemies outright or flush them out from behind cover; however, they can also be used in defence to prevent the
enemy from pursuing you.
If your health is low, step back away from combat and wait – you will
eventually recover.
Never underestimate your enemies. If you hide behind cover, bear in
mind that your opponents can and will walk around the cover eventually to pursue you.

2.4. Multiplayer Mode
Apart from the single player storyline, Code of Honor 2 also offers multiplayer action. You will be able to choose from three different game
modes in multiplayer:
Deathmatch – in this mode, you must simply fight against everybody
else. You gain points for killing enemy players, and lose points for dying or for killing yourself.
Team Deathmatch – like in ordinary deathmatch, you gain points for
killing your opponents; this time, however, the players are divided into
two teams. You will be penalised for killing teammates.
Capture the Flag – in this team-based mode, the objective is to capture the enemy team’s flag and bring it back to your own base. Killing
other players is less important here... though of course, they certainly
won’t just let you walk away with their flag...
3. Game Story
Île Royale – the Royal Island. A former penal colony on the coast of
French Guyana. Once known as one of the world’s most extreme, terrifying prisons. Following the closure of the prison in the 1940s, the
island was put to new use, first as a factory, then as a science facility.
The most recent addition to the experimental facilities on the island is
a small, underground nuclear reactor.
In June 2008, the facility is suddenly attacked by terrorists from Hernando Mendoza’s Global Revolutionary Front. The entire civilian staff at
the facility is wiped out. The nuclear reactor is in terrorist hands...
Hernando Mendoza sends a pre-recorded message to the French government, demanding ransom. He threatens to destroy the reactor if
they fail to meet his demands.
Destoy the reactor... if the reactor were blown up, nuclear fallout would
spread acrosss the region, reaching even the south of the United
States. Millions would die.
To resolve the crisis, the French government dispatches a small Foreign Legion commando force. Their job – secure the reactor, and hold
it until reinforcements arrive.
You, Sergeant Claude Boulet, are one of the soldiers in this force...
