A. Introduction
---------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, the Arcade Awards.  Minor, unrewarding, and simple, yet they're the source
of lots of confusion.  There's always someone looking for a strategy for one of
them, or trying to complete their list.  Occasionally, people want to know how
many of them are out there, or what all of them are.  Fortunately, this FAQ is
here to answer any questions you might have about them.  With any luck, it will
succeed.

You see my e-mail address at the top?  If you can't figure out what I added to
block spam, you don't deserve to e-mail me.  As long as you're capable of
taking out useless info, you can e-mail me with any questions or comments.  Put
the word FAQ in the title.  Now, shall we begin?


B. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
-----------------------------------

If you have a question about this game that specifically relates to the Arcade
Awards, read this.  If you still have a question, you can then e-mail me.  If
you ask something I answer in here, or e-mail me to ask about things other than
Arcade Awards, you will be blocked.  So read this first.

Q: What's an Arcade Award?  How do I get one?
A: After a match in Arcade mode, you can receive up to three Arcade Awards.
The Awards you earn scroll across the screen that appears at the end of a
completed match.  You can view a list of all Awards that you've earned in the
Player Progress menu.  They're in the "View Arcade Awards" section, for obvious
reasons.  The number at the top is the total number that you've earned.

Q: How many Arcade Awards are there?  What are they?
A: There are 59 Awards, but you can only get 58 without an Action Replay.  For
the complete list, see section D.  That's what it's there for.

Q: What do you mean I can only get 58?  What's the missing one?
A: Brutality Award, although it can be unlocked with Action Replay, is not
accessible in the game.  For more details on Brutality Award, look it up in
section E.

Q: What's the point of getting Arcade Awards?  Do they unlock anything?
A: The Arcade Awards are only there for show, and as a measure of how you play.
Some people want to collect them all, even though there is no reason to do so.
They're just for fun, but some of them can be pretty tricky to earn.  That's
why this FAQ is here.

Q: How do I get Brutality Award?
A: The short answer is that you can't.  The longer answer is that we've tried
almost everything we can think of, and there doesn't seem to be a way to earn
it.  Unless you want to cheat with Action Replay, you're pretty much out of
luck.  For more details on Brutality Award, look it up in section E.

Q: How do I get something that is not Brutality Award?
A: Look in section E, or use Crtl + F to find the name of the Award.  If the
information there doesn't help you get it, either e-mail me or ask on the
boards.  I'm not a robot, so don't be discouraged if I don't respond for a few
days.

Q: How did you come up with these strategies?
A: Most of the Awards have been in the series since TimeSplitters.  Back when
TS first came out, people were trying to get all the Arcade Awards to see if it
unlocked anything.  They found strategies and basic information through lots of
testing.  Most of them have been the same ever since.  As for the ones that
change and get added, people just try until they show up or earn them
accidentally.  We were lucky this time, because we had a mostly complete list
straight from Free Radical.

Q: I got Brutality Award without cheating.  Why are you a liar?
A: If you have a method that actually works, please, by all means, share it
with the rest of us.  I'll gladly give you full credit for it in this guide.
Otherwise, don't waste our time with your lies.  If you actually got the Award
in this game, you must have been trying for it.  It's not the kind of thing you
would ever get accidentally, so don't try that excuse.

Q: What took so long for this FAQ to come out?
A: Everyone kind of wanted it, but nobody really had the motivation to sit down
and do it.  I finally got tired of answering the same thing over and over, so
here it is.  Better late than never, right?


C. How to Read This Guide
-------------------------

This is a sample entry, to help you use this FAQ.  Not all sections will be
listed under each Award.  If it's not there, assume that it can be set to
whatever you prefer.  Just make sure 'Always start with gun' is on, unless I
say otherwise.  As always, if you're looking for something specific, use Ctrl +
F and search for it.

#. Award name
Description: What the Award is for, in one sentence or less.
Suggested Mode: The type of game you should play, be it Deathmatch or Capture
                the Bag.
Suggested Level: If a certain level or type of level helps, it will be listed
                 here.
Suggested Weapons: A lot of Awards are easier with the right weapon set.
Suggested Players/Teams: Sometimes you need a few humans or bots on the right
                         team.
Other Settings: Occasionally you'll need to do something to another setting.
Strategy: This is what you really need to do to get the Award.  This will
          probably be the longest section.
How to avoid it: If you keep getting this Award over the one you really want,
                 try this.

E. How to Get Each Arcade Award
-------------------------------

This is the section that most of you are probably here for.

1. Most Lethal
Description: Have the most kills in a match.
Suggested Mode: Deathmatch to 50 kills
Suggested Players/Teams: Ten low level bots
Strategy: Win the match and you should get it within a few tries.  Be careful
          to avoid other Awards.
How to avoid it: Don't kill so many people.  Let allies do the work, or just
                 stop killing.

2. Most Losses
Description: Have the most deaths in a match.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag
Suggested Level: Venice
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You and nine high level bots.  Blue: One low
                         level bot
Strategy: Run to one of the rivers next to your base.  Jump in.  Repeat until
          your team wins.
How to avoid it: Die less.

3. Lemming Award
Description: Commit suicide often.
Suggested Mode: Elimination to ten lives
Suggested Weapons: Rocket Launcher in slot 1
Suggested Players/Teams: Ten bots, the recommended set should work well.
Strategy: Fire at the ground as soon as you spawn.  Repeat nine more times.  If
          all goes well, you should earn the Award.  If not, try again.
How to avoid it: Turn explosives off.

4. Most Professional
Description: Be the best player in a match
Suggested Players/Teams: Lots of low level bots
Strategy: Don't die often, win the match, and blow all the other bots away.
          Have good accuracy and know the level.  In other words, be the most
          professional player.
How to avoid it: Relax and let someone else have a chance.  You're doing too
                 well.

5. Multi Kill
Description: Kill more than one person at the same time.
Suggested Level: Anything small
Suggested Weapons: Explosives
Suggested Players/Teams: As many players as possible.
Strategy: Get a whole bunch of people together, then use an explosive and take
          them all out.  The more the better.
How to avoid it: Use guns and aim at one person at a time.

6. Longest Spree
Description: Kill the most people in a row.
Suggested Mode: Team Deathmatch
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You.   Blue: As many bots as you can handle
Strategy: Kill as many of them as you can between deaths.  Make sure you get at
          least one kill per life.  If you can avoid the other Awards, you
          should be set.
How to avoid it: Don't kill people so fast.  Give someone else a chance.

7. Most Effective
Description: Use your weapons well and don't die often.
Suggested Mode: Deathmatch
Suggested Players/Teams: Recommended set
Strategy: Reload your gun after every kill.  Play well, and don't die too
          often.  The reloading is the key to this Award, but you have to play
          fairly well.
How to avoid it: Ease off on reloading and die a few more times.

8. Pathetic Shot
Description: Have horrible accuracy.
Suggested Weapons: Automatics
Strategy: Shoot at walls, floors, and the sky until the match ends.  Fairly
          simple.
How to avoid it: Auto-aim helps, and so does pointing your gun at opponents
                 before you fire.

9. I Hit Dead People
Description: Shoot dead people.
Suggested Mode: Elimination
Suggested Weapons: Automatics
Strategy: After someone dies, fire a clip into their dead body.  Easier in
          elimination, since the bodies stay there.
How to avoid it: Use pistols, or don't fire so many bullets.

10. Brain Surgeon
Description: Shoot people in the head.
Suggested Weapons: Guns with decent accuracy
Suggested Players/Teams: Make sure a few Monkeys are opponents.
Strategy: Aim for the head.  It shouldn't take too many tries, especially with
          the monkeys.
How to avoid it: Aim lower, and playing as a shorter character can help.

11. Fists of Fury
Description: Punch often.
Suggested Weapons: None.  Turn them off.
Strategy: Punch like a maniac.  If you get a few kills, you should get this.
How to avoid it: Use a gun.

12. Glass Jaw
Description: Get punched to death often.
Suggested Mode: Team Deathmatch to 10 or 15
Suggested Weapons: None.  Turn them off.
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You.  Blue: Ten high level bots
Strategy: Run up to the bots and let them pummel you to death.
How to avoid it: Have a gun in the match.

13. Decapitator
Description: Knock off zombie heads.
Suggested Mode: Team Deathmatch to 15 or 20
Suggested Weapons: Baseball Bats
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You.  Blue: Lots of zombies
Strategy: Aim high enough to knock off their heads and just start swinging.
How to avoid it: Don't play against zombies, or use guns.

14. Fists of Steel
Description: Punch effectively for the entire match.
Suggested Mode: Elimination
Suggested Level: Zeppelin
Suggested Weapons: None.  Turn them off.
Suggested Players/Teams: One Daisy Dismay
Strategy: Stand on top of the Zeppelin, walking back and forth.  Catch her as
          she's coming up the ramps and punch her to death.  Try not to die
          yourself, and try not to miss.  It may take a few tries, but it
          works.
How to avoid it: Use a gun.

15. Traitor
Description: Kill your allies.
Suggested Mode: Team Deathmatch or Capture the Bag
Suggested Players/Teams: Human allies.
Other Settings: Friendly fire damage on.
Strategy: Play normally, but shoot your teammates when possible.  If one of
          your allies earns a lot of positive Awards, you should be able to get
          Traitor.  If you must use bots, it will be tougher.  Do your best to
          avoid the Awards that you get over this one.
How to avoid it: Turn friendly fire off.

16. Vandal
Description: Break lots of glass.
Suggested Level: Chinese
Strategy: Just run through and shoot all the windows.  Wait for them to
          respawn, and do it again.  Then play normally.  Unless someone else
          is trying for it too, you should have no problem.
How to avoid it: Don't play with explosives, and aim at your opponents instead
                 of the windows.

17. Hypochondriac
Description: Get health often, even when you don't really need it.
Suggested Mode: Elimination to one life
Suggested Level: Mapmaker, a large room (5x5 works well) with health on every
                 tile
Suggested Weapons: Pistols
Suggested Players/Teams: Two human players controlled by the same person.
Strategy: Shoot the character that is supposed to earn the Award once.  Then
          run them over to grab a health pack.  Shoot them again, and have them
          grab health again.  Once you've done it 20 or so times, have the one
          that's been grabbing health kill the other one.
How to avoid it: Only grab health when you're below half health.

18. AC -10 Award
Description: Get armour often, even when you don't really need it.
Suggested Mode: Elimination to one life
Suggested Level: Mapmaker, a large room (5x5 works well) with health on every
                 tile
Suggested Weapons: Pistols
Suggested Players/Teams: Two human players controlled by the same person.
Strategy: Have the player that is supposed to get the Award get armour. Shoot
          them once.  Then run them over to grab more armour.  Shoot them
          again, and have them grab armour again.  Once you've done it 20 or so
          times, have the one that's been grabbing armour kill the other one.
How to avoid it: Don't get more armour until yours runs out.

19. Where's the Health?
Description: Don't get health, even when you really need it.
Suggested Mode: Elimination to one life
Suggested Level: Mapmaker, a large room (5x5 works well) with health on every
                 tile
Suggested Weapons: Pistols
Suggested Players/Teams: Two human players controlled by the same person.
Strategy: Shoot the player that needs the Award until they're almost dead, then
          stand on the health with the undamaged character.  Have the one that
          needs the Award shoot the other once.  They should immediately
          collect the health and then go stand on the next one.  Walk the one
          that needs the Award onto the spot where the health used to be, then
          shoot the one on the health again.  Repeat this until you've gone
          around the room, then have the one that's been collecting the health
          fire the final few shots to end it.
How to avoid it: Grab health when you're below half health.

20. Where's the Armour?
Description: Don't get armour, even when you really need it.
Suggested Mode: Elimination to one life
Suggested Level: Mapmaker, a large room (5x5 works well) with armour on every
                 tile
Suggested Weapons: Pistols
Suggested Players/Teams: Two human players controlled by the same person.
Strategy: Have the player that doesn't need the Award get armour and stand on a
          second suit.  Walk the one that needs the Award onto the spot where
          the armour used to be, then shoot the one on the armour.  They should
          immediately collect the armour and then go stand on the next one.
          Have the player that needs the Award stand on the new empty spot and
          shoot them again.  Repeat this until you've gone around the room,
          then have the one that's been collecting the armour kill the other
          player.
How to avoid it: Grab a suit of armour during the match.

21. Hoarder
Description: Hoard weapons instead of using them.
Suggested Weapons: Anything with bullets.  Shotguns tend to work well.
Strategy: Don't use weapons, just go around the level collecting them.  This
          Award is really common, and you might get it even if you're actually
          shooting.  If you don't get it, just shoot less and try again.
How to avoid it: Don't pick up weapons off the ground, and try to use all the
                 ammo you have before you get more.  Automatics also help.

22. Sloth
Description: Move very little.
Suggested Weapons: Put the best one in slot one, or make them all the same.
Strategy: Stand still.  You can shoot anyone you see, but don't move.  If you
          die, respawn and stand still again.
How to avoid it: Move more.

23. Most Frantic
Description: Move a lot.
Strategy: Just run in circles, and don't let go of the control stick.
How to avoid it: Stand still for a little while every now and then.

24. Backpeddler
Description: Move backwards a lot.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag to 5
Suggested Level: Venice
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You and eight bots.  Blue: Two bots
Strategy: Don't even try to play.  Just walk backwards the entire match.
How to avoid it: Walk normally.

25. Sidestepper
Description: Sidestep a lot.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag to 5
Suggested Level: Venice
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You and eight bots.  Blue: Two bots
Strategy: Don't even try to play.  Just sidestep the entire match.
How to avoid it: Walk normally.

26. Ledgehopper
Description: Kill yourself by jumping off ledges often.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag to 5
Suggested Level: Venice
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: Two bots.  Blue: You and eight bots.
Strategy: Run upstairs if you don't spawn there and jump out a window into the
          river.  When you respawn, do it again.  Keep killing yourself out the
          windows until your team scores the fourth point.  Once that happens,
          go to a window and stand so that you'll see them coming back.  Wait
          until they're about to win, and jump out the window one last time.
How to avoid it: Stop jumping to your death.

27. Most Sneaky
Description: Use walls and corners to surprise opponents.
Suggested Level: Bunker
Suggested Weapons: Guns
Strategy: Strafe around corners for cover while you reload.  Pop out from
          behind corners to ambush opponents.  Use the fact that the level
          isn't open to your advantage.  Cover and sneaky shots are key.  It's
          a fairly easy Award, and most people get it without trying too much.
How to avoid it: Play in Siberia and stay outside.

28. Most Cowardly
Description: Run away from people who try to kill you.
Suggested Weapons: Weapons that take more shots to kill.
Suggested Players/Teams: Choose a fast character.
Strategy: Shoot someone, wait for them to shoot back, and run away.  Try to
          avoid your opponents, and never stop to fight.
How to avoid it: Slow down, and make sure you don't walk away from anyone who
                 shoots you.

29. Dodger
Description: Crouch.
Strategy: Crouch for the entire match.  If you don't get it, you don't know
          where the crouch button is, or you're playing as a short character.
How to avoid it: Never crouch.  Not even for a second.  Even tapping the crouch
                 button will usually give you this Award.

30. Most Outgunned
Description: Use weaker weapons than your opponent.
Suggested Weapons: An automatic in the first slot and a pistol in a later one.
Other Settings: In the Controls settings, set Weapon Change to something that
                isn't 'if new and best' or 'best'.
Strategy: Use the pistols instead of the automatic.  When you spawn, make sure
          your first action is to grab the pistol.
How to avoid it: Set Weapon Change to 'if new and best', 'best', or 'never'.

31. Best Equipped
Description: Use the best weapon in the level.
Suggested Weapons: Any recommended set you like.
Other Settings: In the Controls settings, set Weapon Change to 'best'.
Strategy: Use the weapon that the game automatically chooses for you, and don't
          switch or run out of ammo.
How to avoid it: Turn 'best' off and switch to a weaker weapon.

32. Unlucky to Lose
Description: Be in the lead for most of a match, then manage to lose.
Suggested Mode: Elimination
Strategy: Stay in the lead for the entire match.  Once it's down to you and one
          other player, keep it close, then lose.  Coming in second in Virus
          may also work, but it's less consistent.
How to avoid it: Don't lose.

33. Weapons Expert
Description: Get and use every weapon in the level.
Suggested Weapons: Six different ones
Strategy:  The description pretty much says it.  Memorize the spawn points of
          all six weapons, get at least one kill with each, and switch between
          kills.
How to avoid it: Use the same one weapon for the whole match.

34. Porter
Description: Secure your bag the most.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag (duh?)
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You and six bots  Blue: Four bots
Strategy: Stay at your base, let the bots grab the bag, and then kill them and
          secure it.
How to avoid it: Let someone else secure the bag.

35. Bag Man
Description: Capture the opponent's bag the most.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag (duh?)
Suggested Players/Teams: Make sure you can handle your opponents.
Strategy: Keep charging the enemy base, and capture the bag.  It helps if
          you're always the one to score.
How to avoid it: Let someone else capture the bag.

36. Most Useless
Description: Do very little.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag
Suggested Level: Subway
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: Harry Tipper and you.  Blue: Mr. Giggles
Strategy: Get a gun you like and kill Mr. Giggles once.  Fire off a few shots
          to lower accuracy and run around for a little while.  Walk into one
          of the tunnels and wait there for a while.  Don't move very fast,
          just enough to avoid Sloth.  Don't pick up any new weapons or armour,
          to help you avoid unwanted Awards.  Wander through areas that are far
          from the fighting, and try to avoid doing anything that could be
          useful, beyond a kill or two on the opponent to avoid Most Peaceful.
          You're going to be using the tips to avoid other Awards on this one
          for sure.
How to avoid it: Do anything that helps your team.  Anything at all.  If you
                 keep getting this, you need some serious practice.

37. Ricochet King
Description: Bounce shots off walls to kill opponents.
Suggested Mode: Team Deathmatch to 20
Suggested Level: Chinese
Suggested Weapons: Scifi Handguns X2
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You and a few bots.  Blue:  A few bots.
Strategy: Set your Handgun to Ricochet mode and go to the corner near the steam
          pipe.  The path leads down to the blue base, and it looks like a blue
          tunnel.  Line up your shots so they bounce around that corner and
          into the blue base.  It will take a little while to get the aiming
          down, but you'll get the Award eventually.
How to avoid it: Don't use Scifi handguns or explosives.

38. Underequipped
Description: Use fists when there are better weapons around.
Suggested Weapons: Any recommended set works fine.
Strategy: At the start of the match, switch to fists and die a lot.  Keep
          changing back to fists. 
How to avoid it: Use a gun.

39. Victim
Description: Get killed by the same player a lot.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag to five
Suggested Level: Subway
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: A second human and a bot.  Blue: You.
Strategy: Kill the bot once to avoid getting Most Peaceful.  Go in the room
          behind the bag, and have the human player kill you over and over
          until the bot wins the match.  If you're controlling both players,
          make sure you move the Victim character around and have them shoot at
          the other player a few times.  It may take a few tries, so just keep
          avoiding the ones that you get over it.
How to avoid it: Stay away from the person that keeps killing you.

40. Bully
Description: Kill the same player a lot.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag to five
Suggested Players/Teams: Have a human ally, or, at the worst, a second
                         character under your control.  Put several bots as the
                         opposition.
Other Settings: Friendly fire damage on
Strategy: This Award is really hard to get if you target an enemy, but fairly
          easy if you target an ally.  Start by killing your ally, then score a
          bag.  Kill him before or right after every point.  If you're stuck
          doing it yourself, play as the character that doesn't need the Award.
          The only thing the bully character should do is kill his ally 5-10
          times. 
How to avoid it: Kill more than one person, and try to avoid grudges with other
                 players.

41. Most Peaceful
Description: Don't shoot much, if at all.
Suggested Weapons: Guns
Strategy: Just go an entire match without shooting a gun at anyone, and you
          should get it without any problem.
How to avoid it: Kill people.

42. Most Dishonorable
Description: Shoot people in the back.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag
Suggested Level: Subway
Suggested Weapons: Guns
Suggested Players/Teams: Human opponents make it easier.
Strategy: Find somewhere that everyone runs by and shoot them after they pass.
          Strafe around behind opponents.  Subway and CtB just make it easier -
          it can work anywhere.
How to avoid it: Make sure you shoot people who can see you.

43. Most Manic
Description: Run around randomly and shoot people as you pass them.
Strategy: The description says it.  This is often paired with Most Frantic.
          Running around like crazy and shooting like crazy is the best method
          to get this Award.
How to avoid it: Calm down.  Move slower and shoot less.  More accuracy and
                 fewer deaths can also help.

44. Cartographer?
Description: Wander around the level.
Suggested Mode: Assault to 10 minutes
Suggested Level: Training Ground
Suggested Weapons: The recommended set
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You.  Blue: Empty
Strategy: Walk through the level like you're practicing the assault.  Try
          different routes and patterns.  Be sure not to finish.  It will take
          several tries, but just keep acting like you're lost.  Feel free to
          shoot out the guns and barrels, and even try shooting them once
          they're destroyed.  If you wander around for ten minutes without
          winning, you've got a chance at it.
How to avoid it: Play normally and you'll probably never see it.

45. Shortest Innings
Description: Have the shortest time between deaths.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag to five
Suggested Level: Anything small
Suggested Players/Teams: High level bots on a team against you.
Strategy: Fight hard, die, and spawn to do it again.  Playing defense is
          probably your best bet, but you can run up if you really want.
How to avoid it: Die less, or not at all.

46. Longest Innings
Description: Have the longest time between deaths.
Other Settings: Maxing out your handicap might help.
Strategy: Die once at the start of a match, and don't die again.  If all goes
          well, you should end up with it.
How to avoid it: Die more often.  Not at all might also work.

47. Survivor
Description: Live a long time while at low health.
Suggested Weapons: Weapons that do less damage
Suggested Players/Teams: Several low level bots
Strategy: Get shot below 1/4 health, and then play well.  If you can get 2-3
          kills before you die, then do it again, you should have the Award
          within a few tries.
How to avoid it: When you're near death, either die or grab health.

48. Marksmanship
Description: Use manual aiming often.
Suggested Weapons: Guns without scopes
Strategy: Hold the manual aim button for all your kills, or even play the
          entire match with it held down.  If nobody else is pressing the
          button, this is a fairly easy Award.
How to avoid it: Don't use manual aim.

49. Sniper
Description: Snipe people.
Suggested Level: Siberia
Suggested Weapons: Pistol in slot one, Sniper Rifle in another slot.
Strategy: Get a sniper rifle and start sniping.  If nobody else does it, you
          should get the Award.  If someone else is doing it, you'll have to
          snipe better.  Be sure to zoom way in and aim for the head.
How to avoid it: Don't use sniper rifles.

50. Most Flammable
Description: Spend a lot of time on fire.
Suggested Mode: Team Deathmatch to 10
Suggested Weapons: All flamethrowers
Suggested Players/Teams: Red: You.  Blue: 10 R-110s
Other Settings: Character abilities on.
Strategy: Play normally, run up and try to burn them.  Don't use melee attacks
          and you should get it after you die ten times.
How to avoid it: Turn flamethrowers off or play as a robot with abilities on.

51. Most Damaging
Description: Do the most damage to other players.
Suggested Weapons: Automatics, explosives
Strategy: Don't worry about killing everyone, just find large groups and open
          fire on everyone.  If you can avoid killing too many people, but play
          well enough, you should get it.
How to avoid it: Pick weaker weapons and shoot less.

52. Persistence Award
Description: Play a long time.
Suggested Mode: Capture the Bag to 1
Suggested Players/Teams: Only you, no opponents.
Strategy: Leave the game running for a few hours, come back and finish the
          match.  Repeat until you have 2 days, two hours of game time.  If you
          don't get it, and your statistic is high enough, play an Arcade
          match.
How to avoid it: Don't worry about it.  It doesn't appear on the screen after a
                 match.

53. Traveler Award
Description: Walk a long distance.
Suggested Players/Teams: Choose someone fast, like Edwina or the Monkey.
Strategy: Walk around and collect speed power-ups if you can.  Once you've
          walked 800 miles, you should get it.  If you don't get it, and your
          statistic is high enough, play an Arcade match.
How to avoid it: Don't worry about it.  It doesn't appear on the screen after a
                 match.

54. Trigger Happy Award
Description: Shoot a lot of bullets.
Suggested Weapons:  Minigun, Monkey Gun
Strategy: Stand on ammo boxes and fire lots of bullets.  Once you've fired
          500,000 bullets, you should get it.  If you don't get it, and your
          statistic is high enough, play an Arcade match.
How to avoid it: Don't worry about it.  It doesn't appear on the screen after a
                 match.

55. Insomniac Award
Description: Play late at night often.
Other Settings: Make sure your system's internal clock thinks it's after
                midnight.
Strategy: Play long matches.  You should get it after two hours of insomnia
          time.  If you don't get it, and your statistic is high enough, play
          an Arcade match.
How to avoid it: Don't worry about it.  It doesn't appear on the screen after a
                 match.

56. Beheader Award
Description: Knock off lots of zombie heads.
Suggested Mode: Challenge
Suggested Level: Brain Drain or Boxing Clever
Strategy: Just keep replaying the challenges until you've knocked off 200
          heads.  If you don't get it, and your statistic is high enough, play
          an Arcade match.
How to avoid it: Don't worry about it.  It doesn't appear on the screen after a
                 match.

57. Smasher Award
Description: Break a lot of glass.
Suggested Level: Chinese
Strategy: Break all the glass in the level until the match ends, and repeat
          until you've broken 500 panes.  If you don't get it, and your
          statistic is high enough, play an Arcade match.
How to avoid it: Don't worry about it.  It doesn't appear on the screen after a
                 match.

58. Brutality Award
Description: Kill civilians.
Other Settings: Break out an Action Replay.
Strategy: As far as anyone can tell, this Award is not in the game.  It used to
          be for 100 civilians killed, but that statistic is gone.  People have
          suggested that it's for Animal cruelty this time, but there's no
          evidence for that either.  Instead of telling you how to get it,
          which is impossible as far as I know, here's a list of things that
          have been done without getting it.
          - Got Animal cruelty over 90,000, and played Arcade mode after that.
          - Killed 100 doctors in You Genius, U-Genix, and played Arcade mode
            after that.
          - Killed 100 scientists in Mansion Of Madness, and played Arcade mode
            after that.
          - Killed 100 allied soldiers in Time To Split, and played Arcade mode
            after that.
How to avoid it: Play the game normally without cheating.

59. Golden Oldie Award
Description: Play as a character from the original TimeSplitters.
Suggested Players/Teams: Play as Gingerbread Man, Robofish, Chinese Chef, or
                         Duckman Drake.
Strategy: Keep playing matches.  There are reports of it taking one match, and
          reports of it taking fifty.  If you go 25 without it, try someone
          else.
How to avoid it: Don't worry about it.  It doesn't appear on the screen after a
                 match.


F. Legal Stuff
--------------

Here is where most authors tell you never to take their work and post it or
sell it anywhere ever or they will take their crack team of lawyers and hunt
you down.  Well, I have a different policy.

If you want to post my guide, or use a portion of it, just mention me.  You
don't have to tell me, although a thank you message is always appreciated.  
I'm just glad if someone finds a use for this.  If you are going to borrow
something, though, don't change the original intent of it.  Presenting my text
accurately is fine.  Mutilating it is not.  If you want to sell this, and you
actually find someone dumb enough to pay money for it, go ahead and sell it.
In fact, feel free to e-mail me and gloat about how you sold this to someone.
I'll laugh at the moron right along with you.  Basically, use it how you like,
and if it's not too much trouble, let me know.

Also, all trademarks and copyrights contained in this document are owned by
their respective trademark and copyright holders.  This guide is not endorsed
by any individual other than myself.


G. Version History
------------------

Version 1.2 (1/05/08) - Corrected the credits and resubmitted this guide to
GameFAQs.  Turns out that while it was gone, someone else went and plaigarized
a decent portion of it and submitted that.  I'm taking that as a sign that
this guide is probably useful to someone, so I'm putting it back up.

Version 1.1 (1/12/06) - I corrected a very small but confusing typo.  Better
late than never, I suppose.  I also adjusted a few sentences.

Version 1.0 (8/30/05) - I organized everything I had from archived topics and
my own knowledge into this FAQ.  It should be mostly complete, but I'll
probably end up updating a few more times.  If I've missed anything, let me
know on one of the boards or e-mail me.


H. Conclusion
-------------

Well, now you know how to get 58 of the 59 Arcade Awards.  Now, instead of
reposting the same strategies every time someone asks about an Award, I can
just tell them to check the FAQ.  Well, since we're almost done here, I'd like
to take this opportunity to thank a few companies/people/hideous demons.

Nintendo - Because I played it on a Gamecube.

Free Radical - For making this game, since without the game, this guide
wouldn't be here.  Also, they posted a list of 50 of the Awards, leaving very
few up to debate.

SBAllen - For maintaining GameFAQs and posting this guide, along with thousands
of other useful documents on almost every game ever made.

Snooozer - For providing strategies for Most Useless and Cartographer?,
confirming several other strategies, and helping me out on TS2 as well.  This
guide wouldn't be here without his awesome descriptions.

Aerisweet, GCN Duster, TS2Master and Vaul - Writing the Arcade Award FAQs for
the first two games, which made getting all the Awards in this game a lot
easier.  Major props to all four of you, along with anyone who helped you with
strategies.

Cortez - He made this game worth playing.

The demon in my brain - For making me insane, such that I must complete every
game I ever play.  I hate him most of the time, but this guide wouldn't exist
without him.
