The Demo has been around for quite some time now, and there are rumours about a planned US release by real.com. As the original korean manual is very detailed, covering nearly every aspect of the game, and cannot possibly be properly reproduced in a similar quality for a real.com distribution, I decided to write this FAQ to cover the most important aspects of the game, as well as to comment on the weapons and parts used in building the ARMs (mecha). I know that an english version of the manual exists as a .doc-File (my compliments to Micheal "Junkyard Dawg" Ferguson for a job well done), but it is 28 megabytes in size and as such, unsuitable for an online distribution. 1.2 Getting the Game: Hard to do. The game has been distributed in Japan and Korea only, making it extremely difficult to get. Jamie has been known to send packages to foreign customers, but be prepared for exorbitant shipping costs. There are rumours about a US-distribution via real.com as well as a european release via an yet undecided distributor. There also is a company called 'AsiaSoft', seated in the US, who specializes in far-east software. The risk of loss when ordering it from them is lowest, but they are pricey. Please do not mail me for CD-Images, Warez versions or similar illegal stuff. I won't answer such questions, but I will report you to your ISP instead. You have been warned. 1.3 Websites: http://www.axisarena.net - The official website of Axis http://www.jamie.co.kr - Jamie Systems' official website http://the-junkyard.net - The largest english-speaking Fansite Several other fansites exist, but most often, they are written in either japanese or korean. 2.0 Explanations 2.1 Head Parts: Detection Range: Range at which the enemy can be detected/locked-on. Detection Angle: This number indicates the size of the lock-on circle that appears while using guided weapons. Hacking Level: Basically, electronic warfare; having a lower hacking level than the enemy hampers with functions like lock-on, cloaking and similar sensor-based issues. Lock On Efficiency: Affects the lock-on time of guided weapons. Higher levels shorten the time required for a lock-on. Target Keeping Time: The amount of time a target remains locked after a successful lock-on attempt, even when losing it. Weight: Weight in tons. 2.2 Chest Parts: Weight Limit: Maximum allowed weight of the ARM. Note that this value can be exceeded, although it cripples the ARM's movement values. Max Armor: Amount of armor points the ARM has. Max Shield: Amount of shield points the ARM has. 2.3 Arm Parts: Fire Control System: Affects weapon accuracy and firing speed. The higher the level, the more accurate the weapon's fire will be. Capacity for 30mm: The maximum amount of 30mm cells the arm can hold. Capacity for 60mm: The maximum amount of 60mm cells the arm can hold. Capacity for E-Pak: The maximum amount of E-Pak cells the arm can hold. Capacity for Missile: The maximum amount of missile cells the the arm can hold. Weight: Weight in tons. 2.4 Leg Parts: Agility: The relative agility of the ARM. A high number indicates the ability to perform complex maneuvers. Inertia: The relative inertia of the ARM. A high number indicates problems with changing directions/coming to a stop. Speed Correction: A modifier to the booster's basic speed value. Forward Boost Speed Correction: A modifier affecting the forward movement of the ARM with engaged boosters. Basically, how fast you can boost forward. Sideways Boost Speed Correction: A modifier affecting the sideways movement of the ARM with engaged boosters. How fast you can boost-strafe. Backward Boost Speed Correction: A modifier affecting the backward movement of the ARM with engaged boosters. How fast you can boost Backward. Weight: Again, weight in tons. 2.5 Booster Parts: Thrust Type: The type of thruster. Most thrusters of the same type have similar specifications. Active Time: The length of time the booster can be used before needing to recharge. Recharge Time: The time needed to completely recharge the booster. Delay For Recharge: The time that passes before the recharge kicks in. Normal Speed: The basic speed of the ARM when the booster is NOT engaged. Max Speed Fwd/Swd/Bwd: Maximum speed in the noted direction with boosters engaged. Weight: Guess what...weight in tons. 2.6 Weapons: Slot Type: The location of the weapon, either shoulder-mounted or handheld. Bullet Type: The type of ammunition needed to fire the weapon. Bullet Consumption: The amount of ammunition consumed while firing a single projectile. Fires At The Same Time: The number of projectiles fired at one pull of the trigger. Damage Type: Either impact or energy. Impact weapons deplete the shields first, then start lowering the armor. Energy weapons divide their damage evenly between shields and armor. Damage Point: The amount of damage a single projectile inflicts. Shooting Range: The effective range of the gun in meters. Bullet Speed: The speed of the projectile. 0 m/s means that the attack hits instantaneous. Dispersion Angle: The maximum angle which the projectiles can deviate from their intended flightpath. A good Fire Control Level reduces the inaccuracy. Hit Range: The 'width' of the projectile. Any object within this radius is considered hit, taking the weapons damage. Splash Damage Range: The radius in which the weapon inflicts splash damage upon impact. Splash Border Damage: The amount of damage taken by any target inside the splash radius. Firing Delay: The amount of time between the firings of the weapon. Guidance: The quality of the weapons internal guidance system. High numbers indicate good target tracking abilities, while a zero means that the gun must be aimed manually. Targeting Time: The time needed for the weapon to lock-on to a target. Weight Again, weight in tons. 2.7 Characters: Name: Nickname/Callsign of the Character. Corp: Corporation the Character works for. Has no impact on gameplay. Sex: Gender of the Character. Age: Age of the character in years. Bullet Level: Damage modifier on weapons that use either 30mm or 60mm cells as ammunition. Energy Level: Damage modifier on weapons that use E-Pak cells as ammunition. Bomb Level: Damage modifier on weapons that use Rocket cells as ammunition. Melee Level: Damage modifier on melee weapons. Disfunctional as of version 1.3, as all melee weapons use one of the 4 ammo types. Mobility: Modifier on the ARM's agility and inertia. Speed: Modifier on the ARM's speed values. Defense: Modifier on the Armor/Shield values of the ARM. Scanning: Modifier on the scanning range of the head parts. Maximum Load: Modifier on the maximum weight of the ARM. 3.0 Characters All character data is taken from the Axis retail version 1.3. 3.1 DOCWA Characters: Name: Lynn Corp: DOCWA Sex: Female Age: 24 Bullet Level: 0% Energy Level: 0% Bomb Level: 0% Melee Level: 0% Mobility: 0% Speed: 0% Defense: 0% Scanning: 0% Maximum Load: 0% Well, she's balanced. No advantages, no drawbacks, ideal for experimenting with different weapons. A good choice for beginners. 3.2 Nitro Characters: Name: Taxman Corp: Nitro Sex: Male Age: 30 Bullet Level: +10% Energy Level: -10% Bomb Level: +5% Melee Level: -5% Mobility: 0% Speed: -7% Defense: +10% Scanning: 0% Maximum Load: 0% Good with missiles and projectile weapons, but has reduced speed. The added toughness makes more than up for that, though. Stick to missiles and projectile weapons, and everything will work out just fine. Name: Duke Corp: Nitro Sex: Male Age: 27 Bullet Level: -15% Energy Level: +15% Bomb Level: -15% Melee Level: +5% Mobility: +5% Speed: +5% Defense: -5% Scanning: 0% Maximum Load: +5% The opposite of Taxman, Duke is fast and nimble, and good at killing things with energy weapons. The added load capacity should be invested into a bigger booster, as you can't withstand a lot of damage. Keep moving, and you will prevail. Name: Sonien Corp: Nitro Sex: Female Age: 26 Bullet Level: +13% Energy Level: +13% Bomb Level: +13% Melee Level: 0% Mobility: -15% Speed: 0% Defense: -10% Scanning: 0% Maximum Load: +5% Sonien can dish out a lot of damage, but her ARMs handle very sluggish; the defense penalty is also quite severe, making her a difficult character to master. Guided weapons seem like a good idea. 3.3 Cintec Characters Name: Luu Corp: Cintec Sex: Female Age: 15 Bullet Level: -10% Energy Level: +10% Bomb Level: -20% Melee Level: +8% Mobility: +15% Speed: +15% Defense: -10% Scanning: 0% Maximum Load: -5% Similar to Duke. Your only valid choice of weapons are energy guns, and your bad defense value makes sure you must keep moving all teh time to have any success. Best suited for hit and run tactics. Name: Janus Corp: Cintec Sex: Female (?) Age: 18 Bullet Level: -20% Energy Level: +15% Bomb Level: -20% Melee Level: +10% Mobility: +10% Speed: +10% Defense: -10% Scanning: +30% Maximum Load: -5% The last of the hit & runners. Like Duke and Luu, Janus relies heavily on energy weapons and can, despite her high scanning level, use missiles only with limited success. You might want to try using homing energy weapons instead. Name: Norman Corp: Cintec Sex: Male Age: 29 Bullet Level: -5% Energy Level: +15% Bomb Level: -5% Melee Level: -10% Mobility: +10% Speed: 0% Defense: -5% Scanning: -5% Maximum Load: +5% A character with odd values; his penalties on projectile guns and missiles are not as severe as with the others, but he lacks their speed. The higher maximum load is a nice bonus. 3.4 BiTron Characters Name: Morei Corp: BiTron Sex: Male Age: 25 Bullet Level: +15% Energy Level: -15% Bomb Level: 0% Melee Level: -10% Mobility: +8% Speed: +8% Defense: -5% Scanning: -10% Maximum Load: 0% Morei is very similar to Duke, except that his specialty are projectily weapons. He is also one of the few characters that can inflict decent damage with missiles. The reduced scanning range is a slight drawback, but easily compensated by his superior speed and maneuverability. Name: Petrovich Corp: BiTron Sex: Male Age: 37 Bullet Level: 0% Energy Level: -10% Bomb Level: 0% Melee Level: 0% Mobility: -12% Speed: -10% Defense: +20% Scanning: -10% Maximum Load: +10% The Brick. Petrovich can lug around incredible amounts of equipment, and the 20% bonus on both shields and armor makes sure he'll get a chance to use it. Hard to use properly, though, and definitely no choice for beginners. 4.0 Technical Data All technical data is taken from the Axis retail version 1.3. 4.1 Head Parts Name: Millia-Head Detection Range:

6.0 Multiplayer Mode

   6.1 Game Modes
     
      Death Match:
      Basic All-out combat to the death.  All weapons and ammo types
      are allowed. Can also be played in Teams.
      
      Sudden Death:
      Like deathmatch, but all players have only 10 points of armor, 
      no shields, and are equipped with a SR-7 Sniper Rifle with 10 
      rounds of ammo. All pick-ups are replaced with single 30mm 
      bullets. Can also be played in teams.


      Shotgun Arena:
      All guns are replaced with SG-1 Shotguns; all ammo pick-ups 
      are replaced with 60mm ammunition cells. Armor is fixed at 150
      for all participants, while shield strenght starts out with 0. 
      Both armor and shield pickups are available. Ammunition 
      capacity is also fixed at 100 60mm cells. Can also be played
      in teams. 


      Ioncannon Arena:
      Similar to Shotgun Arena, but the weapons are replaced with
      the ICA-6000 Ion Cannon and the ammo pick-ups with E-Paks. 
      Armor is fixed at 150. There are only armor pickups available,
      and ammo is limited to 100 E-cells per player. Can be played 
      in teams, too. 


      Rocket Arena:
      All guns are replaced with AFH-70 Hand Cannons. All ammunition 
      is replaced with packs of 5 rocket cells, and the inertia of 
      all ARMs is doubled. Both armor and shield pickups are 
      available, armor is fixed at 150, and ammunition is again 
      limited to 100 cells. Can also be played as team-based version.

 
      Gladiator:
      The participants weapons are replaced with a MH-100 Motor Hammer 
      and a PC-C5 Plasma Blade, resulting in heated melee combat. 
      Armor is again fixed at 150, but shield pickups are available.
      Can also be played as team-based event. 

   
      King of the Hill:
      The first player to enter the Arena is the 'King', and receives 
      unlimited Overed Boost and Damage Booster. Whoever manages to 
      accumulate more frags than the King times becomes the new King
      and the game starts over. Only the King can be damaged by, or
      damage, the players. Killing the King is worth 5 frags. All 
      weapons and equipment are available. 


      Platoon:
      Like Team Deathmatch, but only killing the Team Leader will
      yield points. The frags gained by killing the leader are
      equivalent to the number of players on his team. Again, there
      are no limits on guns and equipment used.
       


   6.2 Levels

      6.2.1 Original Levels:
          

         Valhalla - Orbital Battle Pit
         
         A network of corridors leading into a central hall; many
         transparent walls enable the combatants to see each other
         from great distances without being able to shoot each 
         other.         

         
         Catacomb - Underground Depot
         
         Maze-like map consisting of 2 levels connected by a central
         shaft. The cramped corridors result in many close-range 
         skirmishes.

          
         Midgard - Hyperspace Transport ATA 742

         A transport ship during hyperspace transfer; the ship can 
         be entered through several entrances resulting in 
         close-quarter battles, but most combat tends to occur on 
         the outside.

         Jotunheim - Palace of Giants
  
         A two-level central hall with a nice-looking glass dome 
         roof; several cooridors branch out, some leading into 
         smaller halls while others are just dead-ends.

  
         Bootcamp - Combat Training Stage

         Large Halls, connected by narrow horizontal and vertical
         hallways. Most of the arena is shrouded in darkness, so
         locating the enemy can pose a problem.

        
         Centropolis - Orbital Elevator Upper Layer 

         A giant space station orbiting earth. The impressive 
         superstructure contains many pick-ups, and the station
         can be entered, revealing spacy hangar bays and a large
         central pit area.      


         Titan Forge - Arm Factory

         One of the most beautiful levels in the game. I giant 
         factory area with numerous towers and many open spaces.
         Long-range weaponry is a must here.

         
         Blood Bath - Battle Stage
 
         A giant hall with stalagmite/stalagtite like structures;
         despite the huge size of the hall, most combat is conducted 
         at short ranges. 


         Gigantic Core - Gigantium Fusion Generator

         Two huge central generator halls with moving structures 
         inside connected by narrow hallways. There are several good
         sniping positions located here.

        
         Mystic Hive - Infected Netsphere Sector

         A creepy level, resembling a Giger-painting. Huge halls  
         filled with organic-looking objects connected by wide,
         organic looking hallways. Long-range weaponry is a must.


         Asgard - Orbital Battle Pit
  
         Similar in design to Valhalla, but without the huge 
         central dome. Instead, the corridors connect several 
         smaller, darkened halls.  

         
         Abyss - Ressource Extraction Base

         A rather huge mining complex set in a mountainous area. 
         Several open areas that are connected by winding canyons. 


         Metropolis 3049 - Battle in the City   

         A rather large area filled with scyscrapers and floating 
         platforms. There are several eastereggs located here, 
         most notably pictures of the programmers and several 
         rather interesting signs.

     
         Star Field - Asteroid Massdriver Ruins

         One of the largest Levels in the game. A huge asteroid belt
         filled with floating debris, most of which can be entered.
         A small underground complex exists in the largest of the 
         asteroids, where the massdriver was located. Again, long
         range weaponry is a must, as well as good boosters. 


         The Netsphere - Core System Kernel

         A virtual-reality arena; basically, just a huge cylinder
         with a central column running through it and a ring running
         along the middle. This is where you face Siren, and 
         unfortunately, you can neither run nor hide in this level.

 
         Musfelheim - Science Facility

         Very similar to the Catacomb level, a network of smaller 
         halls and wide corridors. 
 

         Illusion city - Netsphere Database Sector

         Another virtual reality level, consisting of several towers.
         Due to the illusional nature of the level, it is hard to 
         tell walls from doorways.

    
         Green Field - ARM Examination Battlefield

         A huge open area filled with rolling hills and towerlike 
         structures. Perfect for long-range combat and chases.

 
         Judgement Chamber - Netsphere Sector 9218

         Another virtual reality level, but this one looks far more
         solid. A cross-shaped hall with several catwalks and an
         impressive-looking statue in the middle. The theme seems 
         to be "heaven and hell".

         
         Pyromid - the Colosseum. 

         A circular-shaped arena with several moving walls revolving
         around the middle. Due to the nature of the level, combat is 
         usually short-ranged  

         
         Garuda - Flying Fortress AFB 205

         A huge circular-shaped flying structure with several large 
         entry-hatches. Extremely spacious hallways allow for 
         long-range combat inside as well as outside.
                   

         ATA-740 Longinus - Assault Carrier

         A level very similar to Midgard. Again, the ship can be 
         entered through the numerous hatches, while most combat 
         occurs on the outside.


         CUBE, Tubbyland, and Headquarter
      
         Those are hidden maps; look under section 7.0, Hidden 
         Features, for instructions on how to unlock them.

         Cube is a level consisting of several connected cubes which 
         only differ in color (If you've seen the film, you will 
         know what I mean...)
          
         Tubbyland is exactly that: your worst nightmare come true.
         The guys at Jamie rebuilt the tubby hill and added a few 
         easter eggs.

         Headquarter seems to be a typical room from Jamie's 
         headquarters; noteworthy are the many windows blue screens
         that can be seen on the monitors and the behind of some 
         employee (any information on who this is would be greatly
         appreciated). The level is quite amusing, because it looks 
         like a bunch of overzealous toys are duking it out among 
         themselves.


      6.2.2 Mappack Levels

      These levels were distributed over the www.axisarena.net
      website. They are smaller than the original levels, and, 
      in my opinion, feel a bit more simple.    


         Sanctuary of Agni

         A small temple-like structure with several statues in the 
         middle. A few corridors branch off the main hall, but only
         lead back into it.

  
         Red Myst Colosseum
       
         A small Colosseum; several rows of catwalks surround a 
         central circular arena. Corridors from the catwalks lead
         to hidden bonus items.
 
         
         Crimson Field - ARM Examination Battlefield 
         
         A smaller version of the Green Field level, similar in 
         design but much smaller in size.


         The Final Round

         An open-air bunker complex, surrounded by a wall. Again,
         nowhere to run or hide, so the resulting combat will be 
         very intense.

          
         Gray Rock Colloseum
          
         Very similar to the Red Myst Colosseum, just minor 
         changes in the layout of the corridors.


         Museum

         A small level best suited for one-on-one combat. It 
         consists of a long hall with a statue in the middle and
         two balconys on either end.

         
         Blast Pit - Weapon Training Center

         Another level consisting of darkened halls. Due to the 
         bad lighting, all fighting occurs at short distance.   




7.0 Hidden Features

   7.1 Big Head Mode
    
      Here is how you can get a big head.
      In chat mode, just enter "give me a big head"
      To return to a normal-sized head, enter "get back my head"
   

   7.2 Hidden Levels 
  
      To get the hidden maps, you have to enter a special 'room 
      name' when setting up a game. These names are:
 
       Operator Room => Tubbyland
       Developer Room => Cube
       jamiesystem => Headquarter
 
      The names are case sensitive, so watch your typing.

   
   7.3 Text Colour 

      You can change the colour of the text in the chat window and
      the server browser. Just type "$# NUMBER (0-6)", for example

      $#1 Hello

      The different colours are:

      0 = White        4 = Cyan
      1 = Red          5 = Yellow
      2 = Green        6 = Magenta
      3 = Blue

   
   7.4 Clan Tags

      Clan Tags are small bitmaps that are displayed besides 
      people's names in multiplayer. In order to display one 
      yourself, you need a suitable bitmap, 16x24 pixels in size, 
      with 16 bit colour depth. A blank tag is provided in the save
      directory of the Axis folder 
      (usually C:\Axis\save\clanmark.bmp).
       
      Once you have a bitmap that suits your taste, rename it to
      match your savegame file. 

      If your Character for example is named John, his save file 
      will be John.axs . The bitmap's name would then have to be 
      John.bmp in order for it to show.  
        

   7.5 Chat Macros

      Chat Macros are incredibly handy, yet criminally underused.
      You can assign a certain phrase (most often a taunt or a 
      standard answer) to a Macro.

      The syntax for it looks like this and has to be entered 
      in the chat window:

      /1= Bow down before your Master!
 
      This phrase has now been assigned as a macro. In order to 
      recall it, simply type:

      /1

      "Bow down before your Master!" will now appear on the chat 
      window. It's much faster than retyping the same taunts over 
      and over, and also makes you less of a target as you are 
      immobile while typing. 

      Only the numbers 0-9 can be assigned as macro positions; 
      any higher numbers will not work, despite the manual saying 
      otherwise. 

 
   7.6 Toggle Arm Center Interface
   
      To toggle the Arm Center information off just press 
      Ctrl+Alt+M while in the Arm Center Screen. To toggle the info
      back on just press Ctrl+Alt+M again. Useful for screenshots.


   7.7 Toggle In-Game Displays

      While playing, simply press the F11 key to switch between the
      display modes. These modes are: 
 
      HIDDEN MESSAGE BOX MODE - The chat box will be deactivated.

      SCREENSHOT MODE - makes the entire status displays disappear. 
      Hitting escape in this mode will NOT bring up the in-game 
      menu.

      NORMAL MODE - The default display mode.


   7.8 All Parts/Levels Cheat
 
      Log in and enter the Skirmish menu. There, press left Ctrl, 
      right Alt, and PageUp simultaneously. Then select cancel 
      and you will have access to all the parts and skirmish 
      levels.

      I recommend the 'hard way', though, as it'll teach you the
      basic skills. The graveyards are full of newbies in shiny 
      ARM's that could neither evade nor hit anything. Spare 
      yourself the embarrassment of getting blown to oblivion
      over and over and train with the bots first. You will 
      become a much worthier opponent that way.
