I n t r o du c t i o n

Take on the role of Frank Hayden, a Delta Force operative on a mission to stop a

terrorist organization from ending millions of innocent lives. The terrorists’ weapon:

a tiny but devastating nuclear weapon called Red Mercury. Your weapons: your guns,

your training, and your wits.

Shadow Ops™: Red Mercury is not your typical first-person shooter. Sure, the

action is fast and the firefights are numerous, but you’ll need a lot more than an

itchy trigger finger to complete your objectives. Can you size up your weapons,

surroundings, and the enemy at any given moment? Whether clearing a building with

a squad to back you up or hunkered in the snow alone, you’ve got to do whatever it

takes to eliminate this terrible threat.

B a si c s a nd T e c h n iq u e s

If you hope to complete your mission,

you’re going to need intel. This section

covers everything from basic movement

to the best methods for dealing with

the enemy.

GAME MODES

C AMPAIGN

Campaign mode contains the

single-player missions and

story. You start by creating a

profile and choosing a diffi-

culty level, a control scheme,

and option settings. Your

Campaign profile also keeps

track of the Co-op levels and

cinematics you’ve unlocked.

C O - OP

The Co-op game consists of short

missions (similar to the ones in the Campaign)

designed for two players. Balance your weapons

and watch your partner’s back. If either player

dies, you both fail the mission.

M ULTIPLAYER

Go head to head against friends in Multiplayer

mode. You can play one of three ways: split screen,

system link, or Xbox Live. Choose from

Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag,

or VIP Escort.

DIFFICULTY LEVELS

There are four difficulty levels: Infantry, Ranger,

Green Beret, and Delta Force. The higher the diffi-

culty level, the more damage you take and the more

hits it takes to bring down an enemy. Difficulty

level also affects how much your squad will help

you. If you’re moving to a higher level, you must

learn to fight your own battles more often.

TECHNIQUES AND TIPS

R UNNING

When moving around while standing up, you run at

full speed. This is dangerous when there are

guards in the vicinity, and it’s better to crouch.

Only run when traversing an already cleared area

or when quickly ducking for cover in the middle of

a firefight.

C ROUCHING

O PTIONS

In the Options menu, you can set

controls, change audio settings

(including turning on subti-

tles), alter your HUD, and

adjust other miscellaneous

settings.

S PECIAL F EATURES

Special Features include

extras like behind-the-

scenes videos on the

making of the game. You

can also watch any

cinematics that

you’ve seen so far in

the Campaign.

™

Crouching makes you harder to hit and steadies

your aim. You can slowly move around while

crouching, so crouch to stay low and watch for

targets. You can also clear low objects like logs and

ledges while crouching.

TIP

Unless you’re certain an area is cleared out and

safe, it’s best to stay in the crouch position at

all times.

L EANING

U SING C OVER

Lean to either side of your cover to get a look at

your surroundings or to fire on the enemy without

exposing yourself. To lean, hold down the Aim button,

then press left or right on the Left Analog Stick.

A IMING

Staying behind cover means staying alive. Learning

to find and use cover in the field is the most

important technique in Shadow Ops™: Red

Mercury. Use almost anything in the area as cover:

walls, corners, crates, trees, rocks, or even your

own men.

Use the Right Analog Stick to aim your weapon.

When you hold the Aim button, your view switches

to a view down your gun’s sights or scope. Either

can be used for scouting, though a gun with a

scope allows you to see (and shoot) much farther.

With most guns, when you have a clear shot at the

enemy, your crosshairs turn red. You can even use

this indicator to shoot guards hidden behind plants

or in thick fog.
