Control intermission sequences

Platform: Playstation 2

Much like the Codec transmissions, you can also press L1 or R1 to zoom in during an intermission. The harder you press, the more the zoom. You will hear a gunshot. While holding the button, use the Right Analog-stick to move the view. Also during certain parts of some intermissions are sections where it looks like you are viewing the scene through a camera or binoculars. You can use the zoom feature with these as well, and the onscreen distance or zoom indicators will increase realistically the more you zoom in. This also can be done at the beginning of the game, before pressing Start. Note: L1 and R1 are pressure sensitive. How hard you press determines the amount of zoom.
