Save most of your grenades for double armor kills, shoot right between a helicopter or boat and tank.
The splash will kill 'em both.
Shoot the chickens in the River stage they almost always drop grenades.
Make sure to shoot grenades...they hurt ALOT.
You can concentate on saving alot of POW's in the village stage, you get a free heal at end.
Go nuts with grenades in ammo dump, you get nine at end of round.
Don't even think of using the Zapper for this game....it sux balls.
