Motion Scanner
General Information
This sophisticated device uses a variety of detectors and advanced computer algorithms to identify moving enemy units. However, it requires some practice to use effectively.
How To Use
Click on the motion scanner icon on the tactical display. Select 'Use Scanner' from the menu. The Scanner display shows an arrow in the centre which is the direction the soldier is facing (North is at the top). The flashing blobs show units which have moved recently. Large units, or fast moving units, will produce larger blobs. Static units will not be detected.
The bigger an object, the bigger the blip it gives off. Also, the more it's moved, the bigger the blip. Be careful not to mistake blips for civilians on Terror Missions, but the biggest blips are almost certainly Terror Units - or your own tanks.
All movement (allied and otherwise) is registered - but - unmoving units will NOT generate a blip. At all.
