GrewsomeGunner Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 When I play Single player, There are times I'd like to instantly switch to a specific soldier, not the squad he's in. Is there a way to modify key settings for each individual soldier, so I could quick select him? As always, thanks for any replies!! Game on, with terminal intensity!!

Cobblers Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Isn't it: Key 1 = Alpha Squad 2 = Bravo Squad 3 = Charlie Squad And you should just have to press that number key to switch between each player, or am I wrong? Otherwise it's gonna be a mod question m8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa FSB Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hit TAB and select the soldier you want with the mouse it is the quickest way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblers Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 @ Alfa - Yeah, that's all very well and good m8, but with the keys you can access these different players without taking your eyes off the game, whereas if you use the mouse a massive block appears on top of the gaming screen, which would allow any enemy AI players to shoot your head off in the process. Use the keys it's quicker IMO. Same as accessing Windows, the keys are quicker than the mouse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScornDrake Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Try using the next time ether the "Page Up" or "Page Down" Keys to switch to the individual soldiers in Single Player Missions! "Forearmed, forwarned!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Slink Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Try using the next time ether the "Page Up" or "Page Down" Keys to switch to the individual soldiers in Single Player Missions! Cool! I didn't even notice this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit F2 before opening the command map it is a reflex for me this way the AI takes over and you don`t have to worry about getting shot while giving orders. Also one thing i found hit the Space bar to lineup your body try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that in trying to select a particular soldier you can get greased and that is very upseting! You would expect your squad to be alert at all times, particularly when you're trying to select a soldier. G-Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jex Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 SLINK - It means that it'll make your body line up to the way you are pointing. You can only look 90 degrees L and R from where u r lying. U should line your soldier up so he can cover the best fire arcs possible and not be stuck having to move into position. Try lying down and looking as far left and as far right as you can - you will see you can only look so far before having to crawl to allow you to look further each side. G-man - hitting f2 makes the comp take control - hitting f1 after this gives you the 3rd person view. I think u have to hit f2 first off though. hope this helps Jex.
