A group of players can create a clan for multiplayer modes. There are both player and clan leaderboards available online for the game, so each player can see his position among the others at any moment.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Air Traffic Control: Get two helicopters easily

When you begin the Air Traffic Control level, you will start out as a sniper. Directly behind you is a chopper. Turn around as soon as the level begins if you want a good shot. You should be able to shoot and the chopper will fall a short distance directly in front of you. Make sure you hit the pilot, and not the chopper. When the jeeps come by, hotswap to one and go directly past the turrets and into the helicopter inside the heliport. You have now acquired two helicopters, making this level very easy.

Avoiding missiles

When in multi-player mode and flying a helicopter, if you start to get laser targeted by missiles fly as fast as possible and, at the same time, get as low and close to the ground as possible.

Avoid GTAM

The only ways to avoid a GTAM is to either immediately bail out and dodge a couple buildings, or have an artillery strike fall on top of you.
