Spy
===
The Spy is an expert in espionage and misdirection. Spy teams consist of two players.
Spies have a couple of gadgets for recon, escaping, outmaneuvering and other goals.
These gadgets are NOT included in the Alpha Preview.

The main defense weapon of a Spy is his non-lethal taser. This gun emits a
high-voltage/low-amperage shock which stuns its target for several seconds.


Basic Movement
--------------
w = forward
s = backward
a = strafe left
d = strafe right
c = toggle stance (crouch/stand)
q = dive / roll
shift = interact with environment
clicking mouse-wheel = speed toggle

Use of the Taser
--------------------
- Equip the taser by pressing 'e'
- Aim using your mouse
- Fire by pressing your left-mouse-button
- You can walk around and use switches while aiming
- To holster the taser, press 'e' again.

NOTE: when having the taser equipped, you are visible in the Merc's EMF vision.


Visions
-------
Visions are the Spy's best friend, but can also be his worst enemy.
Spies have an advantage in recon and can spot certain things better, or
have less trouble finding their way in low-light conditions.

Using the visions will trigger their electrical systems and that will be easily
visible on the Merc's EMF systems.


Night Vision
------------
Night Vision is handy when navigating through darker areas, like vents. The cones of
cameras are also visible in Night Vision, so you can time your movements through
high-security areas.

To switch to Night Vision, press 2.
Pressing 2 again will make your vision go back to normal.


Thermal Vision
--------------
Thermal vision is used to spot warm surfaces, like the body heat of humans, the outside of
electrical mines/lights and so on.

To switch to Thermal Vision, press 3.
Pressing 3 again will make your vision go back to normal.


Mercenary
=========
When it comes to brute-force, the Mercenary is not someone to mess with.
Armed with deadly grenades and an arsenal of gadgets [not included in the Alpha Preview]
they are the perfect protectors of property of their contractors.

Their heavy armor makes them slow, but the speed of their bullets makes up for that.
The main weapon is a Tavor rifle, which has limited ammo [unlimited ammo in the Alpha Preview].


Basic Movement
--------------
w = forward
s = backward
a = strafe left
d = strafe right
c = toggle stance (crouch/stand)
shift = interact with environment
left-mouse-button = fire weapon


Visions
-------
The pay of your contractors is good enough to buy some special gadgets like
vision-enhancing modes integrated into your helmet.


Motion Tracking
---------------
This vision tracks changes in motion that weren't programmed in to spot fleeing intruders.
The object that moves has to be bigger than an apple for it to be picked up.

To switch to Motion Tracking Vision, press 2.
Pressing 2 again will make your vision go back to normal.


Electro-Magnetic Field Vision
-----------------------------
EMF in short enabled you to spot objects that use electricity. This can be cameras, computers,
but also high-tech intruders using their visions or weapons.

To switch to EMF Vision, press 3.
Pressing 3 again will make your vision go back to normal.


Known issues
