Hints
There are three difficulty levels in the single player missions in TWINE: Agent, Secret Agent and 00 Agent. These correspond to the difficulty levels in Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. The lower the difficulty, the easier it is to hit your opponents. In Agent and Secret Agent, auto-aim is enabled. In 00 Agent, you're on your own. In addition, certain mission Objectives will be added in the higher difficulty settings. All of these are noted in the text of the walkthrough.
Enemy placement throughout the missions is consistent. However, sometimes fallen baddies will drop different flavors of weapons. In some missions, the 00 Agent mode will not have a large array of weapons (this hurts you as you will be stuck with a Wolfram for most of the level). For the most part, the walkthrough in this guide was based on the weapons in Secret Agent mode. In addition, there is no Body Armor in 00 Agent mode.
Combat Tips
For those of you who have a firm grasp on the conventions of the First Person Shooter, the most important thing to keep in mind while playing TWINE is what happened in the movie of the same name. While the game is not a perfect recreation of the movie, it follows enough of what happens for you to gain clues on how to solve puzzles, etc.
Before you do anything, head to the options screen and tweak your controller set-up. To test out which style works best for you, play multiplayer against a single weak Bot to test out control schemes. Our office favorite is Controller Style 3 (Infiltration) and Advanced Controls Look Up/Down (Invert).
Always read the information given before each mission by M, Chief Robinson and R, as well as the Surveillance. For your convenience, we have also provided this information at the beginning of each walkthrough level. These messages will often give you clues as to how to achieve specific mission goals.
Use walls and features of your environment for cover. Crates, barrels, cave walls, stairs; all of these provide much needed cover to duck behind in the middle of action. Be sure to stay away from explosive objects. Taking cover behind a gas barrel could be much harmful than taking no cover at all.
Likewise, use explosive items in your environment to your advantage. Many enemies can be taken down by a single explosion. This helps you save ammo and cut down on the damage you might take.
Move slowly and cautiously through any new areas. You never know what's lying around the next corner. You are at a distinct advantage if you show some restraint and take your time.
If there is an Item in your Gadgets menu, it will likely be used during your mission. Know your Gadgets by reading the appropriate information on the Gadgets screen.
When battling enemies in open spaces, strafe from side to side to avoid taking lots of damage. If you're moving you're harder to hit. Period.
Always pick up dropped weapons and ammo. This will keep your arsenal stocked and ready to rock.
Know your weapons. Remember which guns have small clips and which have slow rates of reload. Each weapon has a secondary function as well. Often times, these can be more effective than the primary setting.
Go for headshots whenever you can get them, especially when there is distance between yourself and an enemy. One-hit kills save ammo. Don't try for these in heavy combat, though, or you'll be 00Dead.
Make sure you reload before charging willy-nilly into battle. A full gun is a deadly gun.
By the same token, if you want to switch weapons in the midst of a heavy firefight, access the pause menu to change your weapon. This protects you from getting shot whilst switching.
Important: Don't use explosive weapons in close confines. You end up eating your own fire.
Pick up Body Armor whenever you can. It will add what amounts to a second life. Beware, however, when wearing Body Armor, you are not immune to head shots. You'll still take damage if someone draws a bead on your bean.
