INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Beyond Normandy - Assignment Berlin!

Your mission should have been easy. Parachute into the outskirts of Berlin, proceed to the Reichskanzlei, and assassinate Obersturmführer Hartmann.

Unfortunately, your aircraft was suddenly under heavy AA fire, forcing you to abandon it prematurely. Strong high-altitude winds carry you east of Berlin. That means you're stuck in the middle of the German/Russian frontline, and still have a mission to complete!

GAMEPLAY

You control the soldier with the mouse and the keyboard. Use the mouse to look/aim into the desired direction, and use the keyboard to control your movements. Holding the shift key allows you to run.

Parachuting:

Your first mission is to land safely on the ground. Once you are out of the airplane, an arrow will indicate the direction you need to take. Use the movement keys to fly into the direction of the arrow, the arrow should remain green and point towards the ground for you to land safely. If it turns red, it means you need to fly more into the direction it is pointing to. If it stays red for too long, you're gonna miss your target.

Ground Missions:

On your way back into Berlin you are alone in enemy territory. This means that it isn't always the most advisable course of action to waltz in guns blazing. Scout the territory before you move forward, and try to get around enemies if they are too many. Don't forget your mission objective!

During you missions, a compass will show you where you are heading. A green arrow mounted on the compass will also show you a rough direction to your next mission target. If you are in the target area, the arrow will dissapear. However, the arrow will not show you the exact route to your target, only the general direction. So be prepared to backtrack every once in a while.

When using grenades, you can control the throwing distance by holding down the mousebutton for a longer time before you release it. The longer you hold the button, the further you throw the grenade.

Driving Mission:

Use the directional controls to drive the car. Make sure you eliminate any enemies as soon as they pop into sight, and watch out for any tank barriers.
