6. SPECIAL NOTES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARACHUTES
When you bail out of a plane you will quickly notice that there are no parachutes in this mod, but don't panic. Transformers are very tough machines, so you won't really need a parachute. Just try to minimize your forward velocity prior to bailing out and DO NOT LAND ON STATIC MODELS!!! You'll see why.

MATRIX KITS
If you see a Matrix (looks like a floating ball), you can pick it up. By doing so it will turn you into a new transformer with different weapons, features, abilities, and/or transformations. Anyone can pick up a Matrix; however, if you pick up an enemy's Matrix you may not be able to master all of it's abilities. For example, you cannot transform into an opposing team vehicle. See our online knowledge base (keyword "kits") for a list of Matrix's and Locations.

TO TURN OFF MUSIC/ADJUST MUSIC IN-GAME
----------------------------------------------
To turn music off while in game:
Options > Sound > Music

To adjust the volume while in game:
Options > Sound > Music Volume
