I don't have any enemies, where'd they go?
The game defaults to the settings used in your last game, whether multiplayer or single player. So if you last game was multiplayer, with enemies turned off, your next single player game will not have any enemies (therefore if you complete the mission, you will not get promoted).

In multiplayer I am shooting at someone when they appear, why won't they die?
In multiplayer, when you respawn, you have 4 seconds when you cannot take damage. This limits the effect of "campers" (players who "camp" at respawn locations and shoot players when they are at their weakest). Also, keep in mind that many weapons have a great deal of spread in their bursts, so if you shoot an MP5 at an enemy 90 meters away it is doubtful you will hit them.

How can I get more replay?
Try a different level of difficulty, or turn on the random AI. This will place the enemy AI in different locations. Also, playing all the single player missions with or against friends is a great way to dramatically change the game.

Why is my Green Beret equipped with only a knife?
If you do not properly select a weapon in the loadout screen, you can enter the game with nothing but a knife. This happens most often if you carry too much equipment. The best solution is to load out with your weapon first, then select your equipment.

Why do my Squad member run up to the enemy?
Please keep in mind that when you select a Soldier for your Squad (Infantry, Demolition, etc.) you are assigning an AI personality type to that soldier. The Sniper and the Demolition soldier have stationary attack priorities and will attack from their current location, if possible. The other soldiers will move closer to attack, with the Close Quarters soldier moving very close before firing. As such, the Close Quarters soldier is best used in missions with confined spaces, such as the Ship Hold mission in Germany. (So if yo want your men to not run off to get as close to the enemy as possable to kill them, make sure you choose SNIPERS or DEMOLITIONS men and then load them with the weapons you want them to have.) BUT those men won't do well in close quarters situations)

Can I practice my multiplayer skills?
You can practice your multiplayer skills by logging on the lobby and hosting a multiplayer game with random AI turned on. Then select any level, including the DeathMatch and training levels and you will have enemy AI "bots" on. There will be several different weapons loadouts and personality types, just like a real DeathMatch.

How can I better control my Squad?
Move up works in the direction you are facing, so if give the move up command, and then turn around, your squad will move accordingly, in front of you. If you want them to move up and then keep their Position, give them the "Move Up" (F1) command, then give them the "Hold Up" command (F3).
I use this MOVE UP feature and then get to where I am some what between guys and they defend my position. By turning to the rught or left, the men run around me and nail the hostiles. (You must have sniper men with LR300's or Demolitions men with LR300's for best results.)
