The Subway

The Subway is the second chapter of the first campaign, No Mercy. As of the demo, only the first half of this map is available: it consists of going through a subway station and tunnels, coming out through a generator room, then surfacing through a building. In the full game, however, another small area of the map is accessible, consisting of the survivors emerging from the building in an attempt to reach a pawn shop at the end of an urban street. This area is still accessible in the demo via the "noclip" console command, but the AI director will not generate enemies in the area, nor is there any safe room to reach. Also, The Subway is the only chapter out of the entire game with a minigun that is not a finale.

Safety Checklist
In the safe room at the end of the chapter a checklist of safety instructions can be found. It is a poster that is produced by CEDA which is believed to be a company connected to the infection.

The 3rd item has been crossed out and labeled with the words Not Airborne which implies that initially the virus was thought to be airborne but the theory was later disproved.


 * Seek shelter in fortified, windowless room, preferably underground.
 * Ensure all openings have been securely obstructed.
 * Secure the room with plastic sheeting and duct tape.
 * Listen to your radio for further instructions from authorities.
