Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs
High scores for this game are obtained through saving POWs. Make sure your jeeps is full eight men before letting them off at the helo pad. DO NOT move while the transfer of men happens. You will receive not only a huge score bonus but also be upgraded automatically to the best weapon possible. Also, pick up glowing POWs while at full power weapon and you will receive 10,000 each! These are the POWs that come out of the shooting bunkers.
A word of advice only keep seven men on board until you reach the helo pad area, as there is almost always a glowing POW bunker nearby and having only seven men on board will allow you to pick up that last man, get another level of powerup, plus fill your jeep to capacity.
