- Select some bots from the BOTS checklistbox on the far right or some random bots from the RANDOM BOTS field
- Click the START GAME button

 Multiplayer.

 If you want to play with other people, you have to decide how first:

a) You start a game and others join you

    Click on the OPTIONS menu. In the NETWORK options select connection type (Connection - LAN /Internet). Set the online players limit (Max Players - should be small if you have a slow internet connection). The game can be registered in the lobby server in internet games (REGISTER IN LOBBY SERVERS), so other players can find your game in the JOIN GAME servers search. Now select a game mode, some maps from the list and press START GAME in the first menu. If your game has been successfully registered in the lobby server you will get a message in the game.

b) You join a game

    Click on the JOIN GAME menu. If you know the IP address of the server you want to join then type it in the REMOTE HOST IP field. If you want to search for active servers in the internet or LAN, click REQUEST SERVERS. Double click or select a game from the list with the lowest PING time and with players on, then press JOIN GAME.

Recommended Respawn Time: 6-10 seconds.

4. Teammatch
    There can be 4 teams on the map (Alpha Team, Bravo Team, Charlie Team, Delta Team) that fight against each other. The team that gets the highest score (sum of all kills) wins.
 

5. Capture the Flag
    A competition for two teams (Alpha Team & Bravo Team). To score you have to steal the opponents team flag and bring to your base with your flag.
 

7. Hold the flag

    Two teams (Alpha Team and Beta Team) fight over the yellow flag. The team that holds the flag gets points every couple of seconds.

Respawn Time:
Normal Respawn -
Time, in seconds, that you remain dead until your next respawn.
Used in Deathmatch, Pointmatch and Rambomatch.
Maximum Time in Team Games -
In team games (Teammatch, Capture the Flag, Infiltration) the respawn system is called Wave Respawn.
During the game there is set a global respawn timer for all players. It's cycle depends on the number
of players in the game. When it goes to zero everybody that have been killed before - respawn and the timer
starts again. For example: When there is 20 players (10 in each team) the timer will reach zero every 40 seconds.
Every 40 seconds everone that died in that time will respawn. Maximum Time in Team Games is used so that this
time isn't too long, it shortens it to the value you set.
Bonuses:
Option to turn off bonuses.
Frequency -
Frequency of special bonuses appearing. 0 - never... 5 - lots.
Weapons:
Option to turn off weapons.
Maximum Grenades:
The maximum amount of grenades you can carry. It is also the number of grenades you pick-up in the
boxes. On respawn you get half of this amount.
Friendly Fire -
If checked you can kill your teammates. Not recommended in internet games.
Bullet Time
When all players are nearby (on one screen) and someone is killed the game goes into bullet time mode which is a cinematic slow motion effect.
Mouse Sensitivity -
The sensitivity of mouse cursor movement.

Sound Volume -
The sound volume in percents. Also affects the MP3 player volume.
Music Volume -
The volume of the Game Music in percents.
Explosion Effect -
The effect that happens when something explodes near your player (you become deaf for a few seconds and hear a whistle sound).
Distant Battle -
Turns on/off distant battle sounds.
Game Music -
Original game music that can be played during the game.
MP3 Music -
A list of MP3 files that will be played during the game. Soldat uses M3U lists which can be created manually or with an mp3 player like Winamp. You need to put the playlists in the Soldat MP3 folder (ex. c:\soldat\mp3).

Standard arsenal:

USSOCOM
 Standard US special forces weapon. You get it always after respawn as a secondary weapon.

You become the immortal master of fire! You get a flamethrower to burn enemies and also immortality, all in one. Flame your opponents without risk and laugh at them when they try to runaway!

  Berserker

Duration: 15 seconds

In one word: massacre! Your weapons are four times stronger in Berserker Mode. Crush your enemies with a couple of shots!

  Predator

Duration: 25 seconds

Become the lonely hunter! In Predator Mode you are invisible. Also, no one can hear your gun fire but if you fly and fire too much, you will become a ghost and therefore easier to strike! Also, remember that if you're hurt by the enemy he will see your blood. Try to steal your opponents flag in CTF mode now!

After pressing the "/" key you can enter one of the following commands:

Commands from a parameter:

These are parameters that can be used when running Soldat.exe:

- Soldat.exe -dedicated (starts a Soldat dedicated server)

- Soldat.exe -start (starts the game without entering the menu)

- Soldat.exe -dedicated -start (runs the dedicated server automatically)

- Soldat.exe -join IPnumber (port password)
(runs the game and connects to IPnumber , port and password are optional;

Soldat.exe -join 62.93.201.70
Soldat.exe -join 127.0.0.1 23073 tikikaka)

- Soldat.exe -demo name (freecam speed notexts extract)

notexts (0/1) - no texts, menus or cursor will be displayed during playback (default 0)

Soldat.exe -demo demo12
