Slow motion dive

Press A to shoot, then press L to do a slow motion dive.

Avoid getting shot in hotel

In the hotel, there is a room with a shotgun on a chair. When you open the door, you will have about three seconds to move or else you will get shot.

Avoiding death by grenades

When someone throws a grenade, do a slow motion dive directly over it. If timed correctly, you will not die but still will take a lot of damage. This also works for the M-79 grenade launcher. Do not try this with a Molotov cocktail, as you will be set on fire.

Disabling traps

When you enter a room with a tripwire trap, toss a grenade then exit the room. If you see a tripwire trap and do not have a door behind you, take out your sniper rifle and shoot it. Remember You can use any gun, but the sniper rifle/berreta is recommended as you do not normally use them very much.

Opening boxes

When you find boxes that are not very big or steel, swing your baseball bat or lead pipe at it. This will open those boxes easily without wasting bullets.
