 A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

l.ETTER E T PRESIDE T R.T.F# OI

Thank you for purchasing this Bethesda M
02
Softworks product. We have put an incredible 03
amount of effort into making sure it meets the 04
05
highest industry standards. There is a saying 06
that no artist is ever satisfied totally with their 07
work. But we try to come as close as possible to 08
that elusive “ideal”. Once you have had an 09
I0
opportunity to explore what we have created,
II
we think you will agree. I2
I3
Entertainment Software is a fascinating but very I4
difficult sector of the computer software I5
industry. While it might appear ideal from an I6
outside perspective, the reality is less than ideal. I7
I3
Development time is long and arduous. I9
Competition is fierce. User expectations 20
continue to rise. The resultant software becomes 2l
ever more complex and expensive to produce. 22
Both artists and programmers are expected to 23
24
create exceptional products if their software is
to succeed. The risks are great due to the
E
26
expenses associated not only with creating these 27
complex products, but also with the associated 23
testing, packaging, marketing, distribution and 29
30
warranty support necessary to maintain them.
All this while the shelf life of any but the most
3.1
32
successful product is painfully short. Obviously, 33
only the fittest survive. And we are pleased to 34
say that we are one of the few who have 35
36
managed to do so. But, you, the User, have a i I

37
great deal to do with the equation. And your _ kl
33
part is growing more important. M I
39
40
If our products fail to meet your standards, you 4I
have a perfect right to “vote” with your pocket 42
book. If we don’t please you or deliver value for 13
44
your money, we realize you will no longer

Resistance scientists to analyze the prototype 23
and use it as the basis to develop a practical 24

weapon for his elite strike forces. The result 26
was the Advanced Cybernetic Exoskeleton, or 27
‘A.C.E. Battle Armor’, (also referred to by its 23

ll
Neurolink implants boosted the user's strength
12
13 and reflexes well past normal human
14 capabilities and into the realm of the
ts
I6 superhuman. The armor’s titanium-detrium
I7 alloy outer layer could deflect or absorb most
I3
I9 plasma weapon discharges, while inner layers
20 absorbed shock and controlled the soldier's
21 environment. The ACE had the ability to
22
2.3. deliver hard punishment with extreme
24 prejudice. Col. Connor realized that the ACE
25
26 Armor had the potential to turn the tide of the
27 war.
26
22 It soon became evident however, that there

31 would be certain problems. In order for a

Terminator assault units, the suit had to be
34
35 linked directly to the soldiers‘ nervous system.
36 From medical research at the turn of the 21st

39 implants was a known problem. In addition,
40
4l
from the thousands of Resistance personnel
42 tested, only a few hundred volunteers were
43 found to have the psychological profile and
44
45 physical strength necessary to properly man
46 the armor. Out of that number, less than one
47
43 percent could accept the implants without
49 potentially irreparable brain damage. Still, the

Figure 2-1, Quarters

As a new game begins you’ll find yourself in

your quarters, as seen in Figure 2-1. Located
deep underground in the Resistance
headquarters, this small cluttered room is the
closest thing to ‘home’ that you’ve ever known.
From here you can perform many of the basic
game functions. You’ll find various objects
scattered throughout the room. By using your
cursor keys or mouse, you can move the cursor
around on the screen. As the cursor moves over
certain objects you can click either mouse
button or the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard. This

NOTE: After successfully completing a mission, return

Disobeying orders will to Resistance Command Headquarters. There
result in warnings and Colonel Connor or one of his key staff members
being passed up for will debrief you on the relative success or
promotion. It can even failure of the mission. Your performance will be
result in your being evaluated and a graphic analysis of your
decommissioned and mission path made available to you.
released from the
Special Operations Disobeying Col. Connors orders will result in
Group. warnings from the Colonel himself. Con-
tinuing to disobey direct orders could mean
being passed up for promotion or even being
decommissioned and released from the Special
Operations Group. This is especially true for
indiscriminate use of your weaponry against
fellow Resistance personnel. If you’ve gained a
promotion in rank as the result of your actions
on the battlefield, you will be so informed.

After debriefing, you will return to your

quarters. There you can review your stats / kills
and prepare for your next mission. (See Section
1: Quarters, Page 11.)

IIIEIIIII PHASED PLASMA CANNON (PPC):

Power: 40 watts

Range: Line of sight

Other: Heat loss at 50,000“ C.

The 40-watt Phased Plasma Cannon adapts the

technology of front-line, single-troop plasma
weapons to the A.C.E. battle armor weapon
array. The cannon uses a controlled fusion
reaction to create plasma, which is then directed
towards its target in a bolt. Accuracy diminishes
over distance due to the plasma losing
molecular cohesiveness. Each discharge bleeds
a certain amount of heat from the fusion core.
When the core temperature drops below 1
million degrees centigrade, the fusion reaction
necessary for plasma production cannot be
maintained. For this reason, a heat loss indicator
is situated on the left side of the battle helmet’s
situational indicators. Careful monitoring of this
indicator will allow the user to gauge when to
allow the fusion core time to build up its heat
reserves. To fire any PPC, arm the associated
weapon box with the desired fire trigger.
Pressing the trigger will release a single bolt of
plasma toward any enemy within the targeting
reticule.
 AVAILABLE WEAPON SYSTEMS

TOMAHAWK FUSION GRENADE LAUNCHER:

Power: Not Rated (fusion explosion)

Range: Targets within tactical sensor range

Other: Proximity blast radius

The Tomahawk Fusion Grenade Launcher fires

cartridges which, upon impact, are released
from their containment fields resulting in a
controlled fusion reaction. The result is a
concentrated explosion which covers a spherical
blast area. Targets within this blast radius are
subject to temperatures in excess of 1 million
degrees centigrade. Only those targets with
substantial mass and shielding are able to
withstand a direct hit. Arming the grenades for
firing is accomplished by selecting the
appropriate weapon box with the desired fire
trigger. Aiming the grenade is accomplished by
using the tactical sensor grid in the center of the
battle helmet’s situational awareness displays.
A small white targeting dot will speed rapidly
outward while the fire button is depressed.
When the white targeting dot intersects a target,
release the fire button. With practice, you will
be able to deliver ordnance with deadly
accuracy.

A note of caution: as the fusion grenade

cartridges are actually fired along a relatively
flat trajectory, releasing one while directly in
front of a facing wall can be very dangerous.
The grenade may impact the wall and explode,
possibly causing irreparable damage to the
A.C.E. battle armor.
AVAILABLE WEAPON SYSTEMS

AUTODOC

Power: N / A

Range: N / A, Self Contained Unit

Other: Regeneration of damaged tissue

The Autodoc is an emergency diagnostic

and biomedical unit that connects directly
to the A.C.E. Armor A/I logic array. The
Autodoc unit works by injecting
neurostimulants, recombinant DNA
ubiologics and other ancillary medications
within a micro-controlled gaussian field.
Using Autodoc hardware, Resistance
scientists have been able to repair and
regenerate injured tissue at extraordinary
rates. With the Autodoc linked
cybernetically to the A.C.E. Armor, you will
be able to heal the majority of injuries
suffered in battle in a relatively short period
of time.
