1. This is a great stragety book. In it they have made a page for every available player listing their leadership skills, accuracy, stealth, demolition, ect. This helps you to build a good team depending on the mission you're recruiting for. If you're going to get the game, be sure to get this stragety guide.



2. The strategy guide is absolutely terrible. covert Ops is only training and 3 lousy missions. It should be easily played- no one else's experience is really needed.

   Don't get it!

   Rainbow Six Covert Ops Strategy Guide= a waste of money




3. The covert ops essentials strategy guide is a waste of money. It doesn't make any sense. Why do you need a guide for a game that just trains you? I wouldn't get it if someone sold it for $5.

4 comments about MechWarrior 3: Prima's Official Strategy Guide.

1. Simply put, this book is a must have. It gives you guidelines to go by, to suite your individual piloting and fighting styles. You get detailed info on mech stats, equipment and weapons, along with specifics on how to equip and use them. Even with what is all availible in this book... it is up to YOU to decide the final outcome in each battle. For once there is a book you can use without worrying if it's linear and will it give away the game. I recommend this book to everyone who purchased the game.



2. As with the MechWarrior 2 Guide; this one helps you thru the rough spots AND helps you figure out which weapons make the best combo for you. Don't want to give away the whole book but...a couple of "dogs" in MW 2 are my favorites now.

   BTW, D/L the vers 1.1 patch for the game itself from microprose




3. Wow pretty much sums this guide up. You think it's got a lot of info in it? It's 279 pages! You bet it does! They crammed so much info in this book it's easy to see why it has a listing price of 20 bucks. This book lists every 'Mech along with their cruising and top speeds, normal and max tonnage, primary weapon configurations, as well as a full page description of each of the 'Mechs pros and cons along with suggested weapons and equipment grouping. It lists every weapon, the heat it generates, their damage potential, and range. The walkthrough is very well done with suggested routes to take and what 'Mech to pilot as well as what 'Mechs to have your lancemates control. Before every mission, there is a page which states everything you'll find there, as in missle placements as well as the number and identities of every enemy 'Mech out there. It explains excellent customizing of 'Mechs, giving you awesome firepower for any range, the heat sinks to allow repeated fire, and the armor and speed to live through any battle. The book also explains all the controls and gives you ideas on how to get adjusted to any combat situation. I really haven't even begun to scratch the surface of this book, but this should be enough to help you with your decision to buy it. So....what are you waiting for? buy it!



4. The MW3 strategy guide has a lot of info, but there are a number of obvious flaws. The vehicle descriptions are all messed up when it comes to vehicle weapons (donar choppers don't have ER medium lasers!), and guide's suggested 'mech configurations don't have a lot of ammo and heat management is nearly non-existent. However, the battle-maps and run-throughs are exceptional, as are the combat and 'mech customization tips. Besides the minor glitches, this Prima is one worth using.

1. The Pac Man World 3 guide is a great way to get through the tough spots and to make sure you didn't miss anything. My only complaint with this product is that some of the screen shots are pretty small and hard to see much detail. But, I wouldn't hesitate to order another guide from Brady Games in the future.



2. This guidehas good text but poor graphics. It is however still useful.Hints within the game play are also very helpful.



3. I bought the game first and tried playing it on my own. While it was fun it is not like the pacman games I'm used to playing. It wasn't long before I got stuck, and that is when I purchased this guide. this is an excellent guide because it doesn't give you cheats, and ruien the game experience, but it dose walk you through what to do, where things are, and how to use the different features of the game. I have still not gotten to the end, but I'm enjoying myself now, instead of being frustrated.



4. My wife was trapped in the last stage of this game. She had finished it only with the information contained in this magazine.
   I think price is a little expensive, but if you want finish it, you should pay for it.

4 comments about Black Helicopters II : The End Game Strategy.

1. Mr. Keith does a very good job of blending material from eyewitness accounts, newspapers, and books into a series of chapters that will keep the reader very interested. You will want to know more after reading this.



2. Jim Keith (1949-1999) died suddenly on Sept 7, 1999, as the government was finally revealing it covered up some of the truths of Waco. Most people don't get Keith's writings, that as a reporter he reported, with humor and insights, with tongue-in-cheek intellect. In the future when the mystery of the helicopters, be theyblack, green, or dark blue is revealed, interested historians will refer to this book. Not for the wild theories of UN stormtroopers or other items Keith merely was repeating, but for the fact that things were seen, unknown and unidentified, which may have had a link to missions not yet fully understood. Was there special helicopters over Waco? Yes, of course there was. This book gives a sense that things are happening which may be merely a part of a plan still unexplained today. Unfortunately, Keith will not be around to see his works appreciated within this new enlightenment. That's too bad. And sad.But his books remain, for all to mine for the little gems. Don't be dismayed by the theories. Look at the data.



3. This book contains information that is worth thinking about. Most details are well documented, and while some of it seems out there, one has to wonder about the author's death not too long after this book was published. Hmmmmmm...



4. BLACK HELICOPTERS II (1997)
   by Jim Keith
   
   This book uses the black helicopter phenomenon as a launch pad to explain the possible use of military force against U.S. citizens. The book definitely has a very "1990s" feel to it, alleging that the stage is set for a "new world order" totalitarian state. However you do not have to subscribe to the NWO theory in order to find the information here disturbing.
   
   I'll be upfront: there is a lot of stuff in this book that I think is quite silly. For example, on page 54 Jim states that he believes that staged UFO abductions are a pet project of U.S. intelligence. Chapter 12 is entirely devoted to the idea that stickers on the back of road signs are coded instructions to foreign soldiers. Many of the photos are from "The Spotlight", the magazine of the infamous occult-populist Liberty Lobby organization run by Willis Carto.
   
   Nevertheless, Jim Keith was a thorough researcher, and compiled quite a bit of useful information into this volume. There are three timelines in the book, each of which simply lists incidents related to a specific theme:
   
   -The black chopper chronology (chapter 1) lists first-hand accounts of the helicopters taking place from May 1994 to June 1997.
   
   -Police state chronology (chapter 8) shows how a number of agencies began accumulating more power for use over domestic citizens. Activities are not limited to search and seizure without warrant and soviet-style surveillance techniques. Groups in question include the BATF, Bureau of Land Management, DEA, Delta Force, FBI and FEMA as well as various state troops and local police departments.
   
   -Invasion chronology (chapter 10) lists the use of U.S. money and troops for international tasks and also the presence of foreign national and U.N. troops on U.S. soil.
   
   There is also some useful information on the origins of FEMA and largely forgotten programs such as REX84. In the event of a disaster, there are measures in place to minimize chaos that include relocation camps and the suspension of civil liberties. The concern is that these measures could be implemented at will by the executive branch. These are called "continuity of government" programs. If continuity of government and FEMA protocols interest you, I would also recommend the book 'Inside the Shadow Government' by Harry Helms.
   
   This book contains some excellent material but will probably be ignored due to some of the weirder claims. Since it's publication, however, the federal government has accrued more spying power and is even less accountable. The problem isn't only federal: In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Mayor Ray Nagin placed New Orleans under martial law and Police Chief Edwin Compass III began confiscating firearms. This goes to show that it does not take an internationalist power grab to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights in the U.S. of A.

1. The Ascendancy Strategy guide is a fun book, and it has a very nice poster of the various different specisis in the game. However, there are also three "scenerios" speaking from viewpoints of different alien races as they attempt to gain 'Ascendancy.' I found these to be a bit poorly written, as well as the fact that some things in the guide are just plain wrong.
   Just something to think about, but it you are a die-hard Ascendancy gamer--like I am--then purchase it.
