RELEASE NOTES

PARADiGM once again brings you another highly anticipated title with
Armored Fist 2.0, the premier M1A2 Battle Tank simulation.  AF2 gives
you access to all the electronic components that make the M1A2 the most
advanced fighting vehicle of our time. To increase potential interest
and utility of the program, AF2 features 3 modes of play.  One of these,
the Easy Mode gives you full control over the vehicle and its systems.
The Realistic and Realistic with Autolock (balance in between the other
two modes) modes are more demanding and offers a more authentic armored
fighting experience.

To make this simulation as authentic as possible, our budz at Novalogic
have recreated the battlefield in great detail.  Thanks to Novalogic's
patented Voxel Space 2 rendering technology, the terrain is highly
realistic and provides unequaled masking. The vehicles and other objects
in AF2 have been constructed using high resolution polygon-based models
so they look good even at close range. Explosions have been created in
great detail, and smoke is translucent, making the appearance even more
true-to-life. Novalogic has also provided an authentic set of tank,
crew, and battlefield sounds - all in Dolby SurroundSound.

In modern warfare tanks rarely operate along, and AF2 faithfully
recreates that aspect of battle.  Most missions give you at least four
tanks to control (some as many as thirty-two), and there is a complete
cast of supporting arms, including Bradely fighting vehicles, artillery
bombardments, and air support from Apache helicopters and A-10 ground
support aircraft.

Enemies you have to face include a variety of combat vehicles from
around the world, including the superb Russian T-80 tank and deadly
BMP missile launchers.  Most dangerous of all is the Hind helicopter,
missile armed and heavily armored.  When coupled with AF2's new AI,
these vehicles will give you all the challenge you can handle.

Features:

~ Virtual displays based on actual vehicle.
~ Enriched virtual sound environment with M1A2 sound effects.
~ Internal tank voices and radio chatter.
~ Supports Voice over Network (LAN only).
~ Multiplayer 2 to 8 players cooperative and head to head missions, with
additional death match missions.
~ Amazing articulating objects from the 50 caliber machine gun to the
windmills and radar dishes.

What was Ripped:

~ One big ass 291 MB video file.  Great video, but simply too big.
~ The low resolution SFX.  Everyone I'm sure has at least a SB16.

Installation:

Unzip and Unrar the files to a directory of your choice (eg, X:\AF2\).
Unzip the af2crack.zip (found in Disk 1) into the place you unrared
it to and say yes when it asks you if it should overwrite certain files.
Run SETUP.EXE to setup VIDEO/AUDIO, MAKEICON.EXE to make cool icons in
Windows Explorer, and AF2.EXE to actually play this kick ass game!

If your interested in how our crackers handled this bad boy (the boys
down at NovaLogic got a little sneaky on this one), be sure to check out
the \crack-nfo\crack.nfo in the game directory (it decompressed there
along with the crack).
