Essentially more of the same from the first game, only now you have infinite ammunition for your rifle, the large radar has been removed, and you can play as Vikki for a few missions.
Debug Menus#
Main Debug Menu#
The debug menu from the first game also is left within game code here. However, it still does not work.

Unused Multiplayer Maps#
Two unused multiplayer maps can be selected by using the Level Select Menu. Choosing MP2 BASE and MP7 LIVING ROOM will bring you to these maps. These both contain a bazooka in the middle of the map. You can't fall out of bounds either. The internal names for these maps are MP CASHIER and MP POOL respectively.

Unused Multiplayer Character#
The Trooper multi character is present in the digits, but not normally playable in multiplayer. This is likely leftover from the original Sarge's Heroes, which had a Trooper.
Turn Sarge into Trooper

Also it appears that 0xC was supposed to be Tannenberg in multi, but the digit crashes the game when used.
