II. INTRODUCTION
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Infantry is a game made by Harmless Games. It?s an online game, much like
Half Life: Counterstrike, except that this is not a first person view, more
of a top to bottom view. In this FAQ, we?ll discuss all the basics and
advanced infantrystuff. Bear in mind, I?m relatively inexperienced in
Skirmish, so expect many mistakes in that section. I usually play CTF
Extreme, and rarely play Skirmish, so this will mostly be in a CTFX player
point of view.
BTW, Skidjzu = DarthSidious, but I use DarthSidious at GameFAQS and Skidjzu
at Infantry.
-=~*-=#}-= BIG UPDATE -=~*-=#}-= (May 1, 2002)
Infantry is now officially Pay to Play. You have to subscribe to Sony
Station, 6.95$ per month. There IS a guest mode for non payers, but you have
no experience, and you start with a new name each time namely
"~Guest[randomnumber]" which sucks, because the arenas have about 15 people
in them, and most of them are ~Guest150 or ~Guest160 etc.
Sony have ruined infantry. I, for one, am not paying. Neither is most of the
infantry community. Down with Sony! Still, this guide is useful......I
think. =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
III. HOW TO PLAY
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Well. You obviously need an internet connection. Go to www.infantryzone.com
and sign up, and login. Once that?s done, click on the big download button
on the top left, let the stuff download, then you should have some popup box
on your desktop saying where you want to install stuff, and it will install
some files in the specified directory. Then go run the stationclient,
download more files, enter infantry, then download zone-specific files. For
a WAY better explaination, go to www.infantryzone.com and read the manual.
Once all that is downloaded and you?re finally in infantry, go to help, and
read Luminair?s Newbie Guide.
http://infantry.station.sony.com/onlinemanual_manual.jsp Helps a LOT.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
IV. CONTROLS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Well, go to the keyboard config, you?ll see the controls. They?re way too
many to list here, so I?ll just give you some advice on how to set them.
First, you need to set your strafing buttons, which are EXTREMELY important.
To set your strafe buttons, at the place where you choose your zone in
infantry, before you get into the game, click on view, then keyboard config,
then change the strafe keys. The defaults are useless. =[ Second, you need a
good weapon firing key, and a secondary weapon key next to it, and some
other weapon keys next to them. I recommend setting the ?enter to type?
option on, as that helps a great deal with keyboard configs. This is a good
newb setup, which is why it suits me. =]
Up: Hyper Forward
Down: Hyper Backward
Left: Turn Left
Right: Turn Right
RightWinKey(next to alt): Weapon 1
AppKey(next to control): Weapon 2
Right Alt: Strafe left
Control: Strafe Right
Enter to Type: On
/: Weapon 3
.: Weapon 4
,: Weapon 5
And the rest are mostly defaults. This works for me, so your tastes may
differ. Whatever. Please note that AppKey and RightWinKey may not be on all
keyboards, so you might have to use some other keyboard config. This is a
good setup for newbs like me. =]

VI. CTF and CTF:X
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
------------
OBJECTIVE
------------
The objective of all CTF zones (listed below) except for Eol, is simply to
get all four flags, and then hold them for 60 sec onds. That's it. You get a
reward after the game ends, whether you win or lose. If you win, you get
huge amounts of $$, especially if the game's gone on for a long time. =o In
Eol, the objective is simply to kill. Simple.
-----------
ZONES
-----------
Haruna (CTF)
Heinrich's Point (CTF)
Twin Peaks (CTF)
Chaos in Eol (CTFX)
CTF Extreme (CTFX)
The difference between CTF and CTFX are mainly that they have different
itemsets, and some of the weapons work in a different way. For example,
Kuchler GL is stand and fire in CTF, but you can fire it while moving in
CTFX. Also, Chaos in Eol is NOT a capture the flag zone, but it's called
CTFX because it uses the CTFX itemset. Imagine Skirmish with items and money
and loads more classes. That's Eol.
-----------
CLASSES
-----------
This section is based on the CTF Extreme itemset. No Eol, and the Kuchler GL
is stand and fire on CTF, while it's move and fire in CTFX, so use these
setups for CTFX only. =[ Most of these are usable in CTF zones as well,
though.
[-~Infantry~-]
Infantrymen are the best class to start with. They get good weapons,
exceptionally good armor, and can take plenty of hits. This is my personal
favorite class, aside from captain. Please note that the following infantry
setup is my personal favorite, and yours may differ.
Best Setup for Infantry (IMO)
=======================
Maklov AR mk 606 / Kuchler AR249
Frag Grenades (4)
Suit Supercharger
Carapace / CMP6
IDF Generator / PF Generator
3 Repulsor Coils
Ammo Rifle (300)
Enhanced Sensors
This is my personal favorite setup, and I've been using it for ages. About
the Maklov AR / Kuchler AR, you can use whatever you want. If you're a
beginner, go with Kuchler, and change to Maklov later on, as Kuchler fires
in a slightly crooked line,
which helps your aim. Kuchlers also have good spread, making more bullets
hit. The Maklov fires in a perfect straight line, which is great if you're
good at aiming, and if you aim right, all three bullets hit, which takes off
a considerable amount of energy and hp compared to one bullet. Go either
Cara + IDF, or CMP6 + PF, whatever you want. Just don't use PF with Cara,
cause it sucks in my opinion.
[-~Infiltrator~-]
Infils, or 'commies', as they are sometimes called, are the speedy, sneaky
ones. They are NOT made for direct combat, but rather, for stealing flags or
sometimes backstabbing and kill stealing. >=D They take skill to use (=P),
so not recommended for beginners. They can use the best energy weapons, but
cannot use many, if any, ammunition consuming weapons. Again, this is my
personal infiltrator setup, and your ideas may differ..
Best Setup for Infiltrator
===========================
Kuchler PR209g / Kamenev PR K111r
Plasma Bomb
Pulsar / Particle Accelerator / Electron Beamer
Improved Cloak
Suit Supercharger
Blink Generator
Repulsor Coil (3)
I usually use Kamenev PR, Plasma Bomb, Electron Beamer, and the other stuff.
BTW, I'm a newb infil, so..... :P
[-~Jump Trooper~-]
Jump Troopers are basically light infantry. They get good weapons, but die
rather easily. My favorite class aside from Captain. Fast, with the fastest
strafe acceleration in the game. Their setbacks are the fact that they can't
carry too much without being overweight, and their armor isn't as good as
infantry or captain.
Best Setup for Jump Trooper
===========================
Maklov AR mk 606
Kuchler GL m8
Drop Armor
PF Generator
Suit Supercharger
Enhanced Sensors (if flagging, otherwise don't use this)
Ammo Rifle (200)
Frag Grenade (4)
Light HE (50)
Bullet Mines (20)
Plasma Mine (2) (for you mine lamers out there :P)
Classic AR + GL combo, add the best armor and the usual Generator,
Supercharger, and Sensors, get the neccessary ammo, and you have a good JT.
[-~Captain~-]
Captains require 525000 exp to get, and they're my class of choice under my
main alias. They can summon, get great weapons, the best armor, and grenade
launchers. They're almost JTs, but can summon, and get better armor.
However, they're rather slow, but their strafe acceleration matches that of
an infantry. Probably the best soloing class.
Best Setup for Captain
=======================
Maklov AR mk 606
Kuchler GL m8
CMP6/Carapace (I use CMP6)
PF/IDF Gererator(I use PF, but if you're using Carapace, go IDF.)
Suit Supercharger
Enhanced Sensors
Ammo Rifle (400)
Frag Grenade (4)
EMP Grenade (4)
Haywire Grenade (4)
WP Grenade (4)
Light HE (50)
That's my fav captain setup. CMP6 + PF for me, but you may want to get cara
+ idf. Please note that Carapace sucks because it's almost impossible to
kill you if you have Cara + IDF. That's my opinion... Also, please note the
abundance of grenades.
Get them regularly if you're full of $$. They are very useful. When
attempting to kill someone, simply charge throwing loads of nades, and then
finish them with AR, they'll usually die quick. If a large rape squad is
coming towards you, throw LOTS of nades at them, then use your dropship
recall to get back to the DS, and hope you kill someone. :P

Luminair's Newbie Guide.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
VIII. TIPS AND TRICKS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- Strafe. Always. A moving target is harder to hit than a stationary target.
Whoever strafes better usually wins.
- Learn to Circle Strafe. Circle strafing is strafing in a circle around an
opponent, keeping your target locked on them all the time. Makes you quite
hard to hit, while they're quite easy to hit. Please note this is almost
impossible using a default keyboard setup. To be able to c strafe, you need
to be able to reach the movement keys AND the strafe keys at the same time.
- Learn to lead. This means shooting wherever you think they'll be after the
shot goes off, basically if they're moving around alot while shooting. This
is basically predicting.
- Get all the equipment you need as soon as you can, depending on your
class, you?ll need different equipment.
- Learn about all the weapons, classes, armour, special items and what they
do, etc.
- When someone?s at the enemy base, and need help, try attaching to them to
give them support fire. Attaching is done by highlighting the person?s name
from the namelist on the top right, then pressing the key that is for the
suit teleporter. This will transport you to the person. Alternatively,
request summon if they say they can summon.
- Work with your team. Walking into an enemy rape squad will get you killed.
FAST. Even if you have the l33test strafing skills on the planet. Stay with
members of your team, and go flagging or bounty hunting, or whatever.
- Don?t spam or start calling people fags just as soon as you start. It
won?t make you that popular...
- Don't walk straight into rape squads. (big groups of people running around
killing) You'll be dead before you know it. Never face more than two people
alone, you'll die otherwise unless you're really skilled. Try weakening them
with a frag grenade or two from afar, and then moving in for the kill with a
weapon, usually an assault rifle or something, strafing to give them a hard
target to hit.
- Don't rape (travel in large groups) unless you're playing Eol. CTF Extreme
was made for capturing flags, not btying. Play Eol if you like travelling in
large groups killing hapless lone people. :p
- To get $$ and exp, win games, or be there till the end of the game. You'll
get lots of $$ and exp if you MVP% is higher, which goes higher depending on
what you do. If you can't get on a good flagging private team, and are stuck
on a private team, then go solo, and rack up kills. That's a good way to get
your MVP up. If you're on a private team, when attacking, try to get a flag
or two. :P That raises your MVP a lot. Also, carrier kills(killing a guy
holding a flag) raises your MVP like MAD. Carry kills (killing someone while
holding a flag) also get you lots of MVP. Once, while soloing, as soon as
the game started, I ran for a flag, and since I got it, I had my MVP up a
lot. Then, since I was soloing, I had no need for the flag, so I ran outside
and started killing as many people I could. I killed about 8 (I'm a Captain)
with the flag on me, which got my MVP% up like mad. Then, I simply ran
around killing anyone and everyone I could, to get my MVP higher. When the
game finally ended, I racked up loadz of $$, even though I didn't win.
Killing people only nets you 5 exp though, so that's not so good for getting
exp unless you be there till the end of the game. Phew......
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
IX. MACROS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Macros are fixed messages you don?t have to type, but just press a key and
the message is sent out. Useful for when you?re at the enemy base, and in
the middle of some fire, and you want to tell your teammates your there
without having to type. You should always have these, as they make life much
easier.
This is assuming you have ?enter to chat? option on.
To make a macro, simply type the message you want to make into a macro, then
press Shift + (the key that you want to store the macro) then the macro is
stored.
To send a macro, just press shift + the key that you stored the macro in.
For example: Let?s say I wanted to make an ?at enemey base? macro.
I type in the message:
//I?m @ the NME base, Attach to CTF now! ( %coord )
And then I press shirt + F9. %coord is replaced by the coordinates your are
in. NME means enemy. So now, everytime I?m at the enemy base, I press shift
+ f9 and my teammates come to help. Simple. Let?s say I was at an enemy base
at J15. I press shift + F9. The following message will be output:
I?m @ the NME base, Attach to CTF now! ( J15 )
This will inform your teammates of the flag, and they?ll come to help you
capture it.
There are more variables like %coord.
%coord - The current radar coordinate you are at.
%count[ItemName] - Displays the amount you have of ItemName in your
inventory.
%date - Todays date on your machine.
%flagcount - Number of flags you have.
%flagdrop - Time left before flag drops.
%killed - The name of the person who you killed last.
%killer - The name of the person who killed you last.
%selfname - Your own name.
%squad - Your squad's name.
%tickname - The name of the person you have highlighted on the playerlist.
%tickitem - The name of the item currently highlighted in the inventory.
%time - The current time on your machine.
Also, there are bongs. These are voices that come with macros. For example,
if you made an attacking enemy macro, you could add a bong to it to make it
more attention grabbing.
So if you were at the coordinates J5:
'@NME! Attach to CTF! My current coordinates are %coord. %24
would be your attacking macro, and what would come out would be: (ignore the
things in [])
[yellow] @NME! Attach to CTF! My current coordinates are J5. [voice says
'Attacking enemy!']]
The use of bongs is to grab the attention of your teammates, which might
make them wake up and attach.
%22 says: Acknowledged
%23 says: Affirmative
%24 says: Attacking enemy!
%25 says: Defending position!
%26 says: Enemy Sighted!
%27 says: Requesting Summon!
%28 says: We are under attack!

SQUADS
---------
You know clans in Quake? Well, this is Infantry's equivelant of them, only
they're called squads. Squads have a name, an owner, and (usually) members.
Squads can compete in various squad competitions, like the CTF Players
League, the Skirmish Players League, or the CTFX Players League. Or you can
just have squads for the heck of it. =P Whatever. Anyway, here are some good
squads to watch out for in CTF Extreme.
Reflectionate
Janes Addiction
Jive
...and so on.
