Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I don't feel like uninstalling PDS in order to visit the tutorial and find out. How do you pause the game, and still be able to issue orders to units? |

To be more specific, there is a "Pause / Break" button above your "Page Up" button, which is in the same "column", so to speak, as your arrow keys. Somewhere near the top. If you have a laptop, just look around near the top right corner, the "Pause / Break" button should be there somewhere. Hope that helps. |

U're kidding me. That thing actually works for HW2? I mean, I've never heard of a game utilizing that pause button. Imagine playing Counterstrike, spotting someone, pushing pause to line up the perfect HS, and BAM!!  |

Some games do that these days, usually RTS games. |

That would be impossible in Online Gaming - that way, you'd piss off about 300 people at a time. |

Ummh...actualy, that is imposible in online game, you can use "active pause" only in SP/skirmish. |

The pause key is a great way to micromanage targeting and take screenshots. Battlespace looks very, very different from many perspectives. |
