Gameplay:
---------
Battle Tactics 2 is a turn-based modification which means that you take turn with the AI. Each turns lasts about 10 seconds and after that is next one's turn. The loop continues as long as you're alive or all the enemies are dead, or you have escorted the hostage in hostage rescue gamemode. In some maps, once in a while, after one whole game turn has passed, there will be crate drops, that contain ammo, health or a shield. In addition to MP2 weapons there are two new weapons, the M249
SAW and Bazooka. See the "Tips" section in the main menu for more information and tips.

Known bugs:
-----------
- There's a gamestopper bug when enemy dies on its own turn. Very rare but still happens sometimes, especially with the bazooka troop.

- "Warning beep" when your turn time is running out, isn't always exact, due to time scaling.
