INTRODUCTION

Imagine a nuclear weapon that fits in a backpack, with the power to annihilate millions.

Imagine such power falling into the wrong hands.

You are Frank Hayden, an elite Delta Force operative recruited by the CIA. Your

mission: Track down and defuse a weapon of unspeakable destruction known only

as Red Mercury. The terrorist faction that possesses this devastating device will

stop at nothing to realize their twisted goals of chaos and fear. Your pursuit of

these madmen will lead you through some of the deadliest, war-torn locations on

earth.

Your obsessive quest to track down this potential nightmare is far from a solo

mission. The Russians claim they are after Red Mercury to prevent a nuclear war.

Can they be trusted? What about the CIA and its intel?

Figure it out fast. The fate of millions is in your hands.

3. Known Issues

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of known issues that we are working to resolve in a future update:

- Dedicated Server, while at the Waiting for Players screen, with Spectators present, when the user presses Tab, the game crashes to desktop.

- Multiplayer, if the user hosts any LAN game, quits out of the match, and joins an Internet server, the user is unable to join the Internet server.

- Multiplayer, Clicking back while joining is displayed on the server select screen crashes the game

- Internet multiplayer, in Gameplay, if the user picks a class, presses ready, and presses 'Tab', the game momentarily locks up, and then resumes. Note: This only happens after the user picks a class.

- Main Menu - Music returns after it is turned off if the user tasks in and out of the program using ALT-TAB.

- Main Menu, if the user selects Options, selects Audio, adjusts the Music volume level to 0, tasks out of the program using ALT-TAB, and returns to the program, the Music returns until the user enters Audio Options again. Note: This issue also occurs if the user adjusts the Music volume to 0, and adjusts the Video Settings afterwards. Once the program attempts to reconfigure the display options, the Music begins playing during the transition. The issue can be alleviated in the same manner by entering the Audio options menu after the display settings have been reconfigured.

- Multiplayer, with Team Damage set to OFF, if the user views the Class Select Screen, Friendly Fire is shown as ON even though Friendly Fire is set to OFF.

- Class Select Screen, Kills shown as -1 when Max Kills is set to Infinite

- Multiplayer, with Max Kills set to Infinite, if the user views the Class Select Screen, Kills is shown as -1 even though Max Kills is set to Infinite.

- Multiplayer - CTF, Gameplay, With no infinite respawns, game does not end if a team is eliminated

- Multiplayer, in Capture the Flag, with spectators present, in Gameplay, if any team has no players alive, the game does not end. The game should end if an entire team is eliminated regardless of spectators.

- Multiplayer, in Capture the Flag, in Station, if the user joins the game, and presses the M button on the keyboard, the Hayden picture appears instead of the Map Overview.

- Internet, in the Join screen, if the user sits at the Game Selection screen, the background animation and the user’s mouse freeze every 2 seconds.
