Thanks for taking a look. I'm seeking information
regarding the game Commandos 2:
1. How do you Pause the game from the keyboard?
There needs to be a "panic" button for this function; going to
the notebook or inventory is too slow.
2. How do you select a group of commandos, and have them all
attack the same target? It seems as if you have to INDIVIDUALLY
put each person in attack mode. This bites intensely. Once ONE
person is in this mode, he starts firing, and there isn't enough
time to command all the others to also go into attack mode.
This aspect alone would make the game a worthless piece of
junk, so I'm guessing I've just missed something.
3. Where in the manual is there
a list of capabilities particular to each charachter type?
4. How do you pause the game, give commands to each man,
then unpause and have those commands executed?
5. How do you remap keyboard commands, especially those
related to left and right mouse clicking?

I haven't bought it yet here, but still have the CD version.
So the following is based upon my memory of playing that.
It's definitely not an incomplete game, however it does take time.
I remember it having good scores in several reviews.


1. The "P" and "Pause Break" key pause the game.
Escape takes you back to the main menu from where you can resume.

2. Hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse in order to select characters.
Than press the "X" to put them all in attack mode.

3. In the manual that came with the CD version there's a chapter that describes each character's background and it's skills. It's on pages 23-28.

4. As far as I know this is not possible.

5. Not sure if that's possible. There should be a list of controls available from within the game. There's also a readme file that lists them. If it is possible to change them, it's probably accessible through the "Options" option in the main menu.
