TIPS AND TRICKS ================================================================ -Open cupboards, filing cabinets and desk drawers by pointing at them and pressing the E key. Ammunition and medipacks can often be found hiding in these locations. -Lower your profile to the crouching position by pressing and holding CTRL to maximize your aiming effectiveness. -Short bursts of fire are often more effective than longer bursts. Keep an eye on your targeting reticule for feedback on your aiming effectiveness. -Aim for the head it typically only takes one shot to the head to kill the living dead, depending on the strength of your weapon. -Bring em to their knees shooting out their legs brings the undead to their knees, making them much slower moving and easier to target. -Smack em down if you ever find yourself unarmed and have to resort to using your hands, use your secondary attack by clicking the right mouse button. The resulting blow will knock them off their feet, buying you precious seconds to make your escape. -Closing doors behind you makes it that much more difficult for the ever hungry to sneak up on you. -Infectious flesh feasters emit a cloud of green. Watch out for them! -Stay scared! ================================================================ LAND OF THE DEAD: ROAD TO FIDDLERS GREEN(TM) single player demo September 27, 2005 ================================================================ I.
