As health is lost, the symbol gradually changes color, cycling through to red when health drops to a critical level. Occasionally you'll stumble across First Aid Kits dropped by other soldiers or fallen from a supply vehicle. An empty meter means your player character can take several hits in quick succession. Sprinting drains the Stamina meter; it then replenishes when you're either walking or standing still. CROSSHAIRS--The tighter the crosshairs on the central reticle, the greater the weapon accuracy. Various actions in the game have positive or negative effects on the weapon's accuracy. OVERHEATING--Heavy machine guns overheat under sustained firing. When the weapon reaches maximum operational temperature, it ceases to fire, displayed by the red crosshairs. You then have to wait for the weapon to cool down before resuming fire.
