Written by Dezoo. I wrote this to help players with this really good game, and it is really hard
so...

This is a single-player mode walkthrough. I have never played SOCOM online. I have heard that
single-player is a waste of time and the game should only be brought for online, but this is
rubbish. The single-player mode on SOCOM rules, so people who are always online and going
straight to "Online" from the Main Menu, select "New Game" and appreciate the awesome and epic
game that it is on single-player!

Introduction:
You are a US Navy SEAL, a member of one of the world's elite special forces units. You begin at
the rank of Ensign, and as you finish the games four operations, twelve missions altogether you
get promoted to the next rank up. Your mission... is to help keep the people around the world
free from terrorists.

The Enemy:
The enemy varies in several different aspects. Each have leaders, who need to be mostly
eliminated. The Iron Brothers are a band of shadowy terrorists, intent on inflicting damage on
America. They are Russians, and their reason for getting in fights with the Navy SEALs is that
they have a base on US soil, or rather in US snow, in Alaska. The Riddah Rouge are paramilitary 
soldiers, intent on "liberating" Hong Kong and making them free of the monarchy. Their reason for
coming up against the Navy SEALs is beacuse they have possession of biological weapons! The 
Mercenaries are paid to fight, though you don't get to fight the people who paid them. Their
reason for tangling with the Navy SEALs is because they have captured a band of US Marines. Last
of all, the Sadikahu are religious fanaticals, fighting for some cause that they believe in, and
they are modelled on the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and such terrorist organisations.

Mission Details:
Mission 1:
A terrorist organisation known as the Iron Brotherhood, made up of former Spetznaz operatives 
is receiving illegal arms shipments from the Black Market. According to the U.S navy 
Intelligence, they must be stopped. A barge heading to the Iron Brotherhood's base in Alaska 
must be intercepted before it reaches target. Scuttle this barge and ship to cause damage to 
the Iron Brotherhood and foil their plans.
  
Mission 2:
The Iron Brotherhood's base in Alaska has been located. Your mission is to take it out. Their 
true plans are being kept on a computer. This computer must be recovered. However, the computer 
is heavily guarded and the Iron Brotherhood will erase the data if you are discovered. 
Infiltrate their base, take out as many Iron Brothers as you can on the way to your goal, do 
not have the alarm turned on either or you will most likely fail. An Iron Leader is guarding 
the computer as well, so beware (he is a sort of boss, but not really all that tough). Take 
him out on the way.
  
Mission 3:
The Iron Brotherhood has launched an offensive. Repel them from the oil rig and defuse the 
bombs that they have planted, rescue the hostages and eliminate the last of the Iron 
Brotherhood. You will run into the Iron Leader on your way, take him out to stop the Iron 
Brotherhood forever.
  
Mission 4:
Time to fight a new enemy and bring about their demise! They have possession of chemical 
weapons and they must be stopped. A book with intel in it is in one of the huts that they are 
stationed in. Destroy their boats to prevent their escape, recover this book and eliminate all 
of the terrorists in this area. You will be fighting them in stormy weather though, and they 
are on foliage covered islands. Foliage, huh? Your advantage, remember.
  
Mission 5:
These terrorists, called the Riddah Rouge have kidnapped the U.S ambassador for the country 
and his wife. they demand money for it, money which the government will not pay as it will 
give Sudarak Thongkon, their leader the money required to finish their "research?" on chemical 
weapons. Your mission is to infiltrate completely undetected, or at least don't let the 
handlers know what is happening until both hostages are secured. This is a tough mission on 
the higher difficulties, look out!
  
Mission 6:
The Riddah Rouge has been successfully been driven back. Detain or eliminate their leader, 
Sudarak Thongkon before he can escape. The first part of this mission is in foliage covered 
area, and the other part is in the ruins of an old city, temples and all. Find the chemical 
weapons among all this and eliminate the Riddah Rouge forever. Get a taste of grenade launcher 
fighting.
  
Mission 7:
Yet another terrorist organisation has been discovered. They have captured some U.S marines. 
Time to get payback. Eliminate all terrorists encountered. Strangely, these guys have all SEAL 
weapons?
  
Mission 8:
The terrorists, called Pre-emptive Strike (no actual members are encountered though, strangely)
have indeed hired European mercenaries to do their fighting for them. The POWs are being 
guarded by Magnus the torturer, most likely their leader. Kill him before he can execute the 
hostages.
  
Mission 9:
The mercenaries of Pre-emptive Strike have retreated to their base, an old WW1 bunker and other 
fortifications that they are now manning. In the midst of all this, the U.S Marine's unit 
commander, a Major Norris is still being detained, in the deepest part of the bunker, confined. 
Find him and rescue him. On the way are old bunkers, but they are resistant to your fire. Call 
in air strikes with the designator to destroy them and eliminate the last of the mercenaries 
(the actual people of Pre-emptive Strike get away though, in fact you don't even see them).

Mission 10:
The final enemy, and the most fanatical of them all, these terrorists have their own private 
base with a helicopter and all. It is an old Russian prison taken over by a Middle Eastern 
terrorist group in Turkmenistan. Recover, Mr. Pickle (real name I can't remember) Experience 
heavy grenade launcher combat for the first time and get used to being killed them MGL 
(Multiple Grenade Launcher)-wielding enemies many times, I warn you... brave SEAL that this 
is the hardest mission of them all! 
  
Mission 11:
The Sadikahu, as they are called have control of this system of caves out in the desert. Use 
stealth to eliminate the Sadikahu before they can detonate the nuclear bombs they have here. 
They are prepared to guard these bombs with their lives, and don't even think that they will 
surrender, because there's not a chance. Just stop those bombs!
  
Mission 12:
So this is it, brave SEAL. Your last mission... the Sadikahu are holding off in a bombed-out, 
war-torn city in Turkmenistan. Destroy their leaders and take out as many of the Sadikahu as 
you can on the way, this is the finale for now. Good luck! 

Now, the walkthrough.

Mission 1: Operation Frostbite: Death At Sea
You are ordered to infiltrate a ship and scuttle it before illegal weapons are delivered to 
terrorists named the Iron Brotherhood. A detail of terrorists is already on the ship. 
Enemy: Iron Brothers, Black Marketers
Weapons: Primary: HK5, HK5SD (silenced).
         Secondary: Mark 23 SD (silenced), 9mm Pistol SD (silenced)
Enemy: Primary: AK47, AKS-74, M40A1
       Secondary: Model 18

I used the HK5SD and the Mark 23 SD. Anyway, after the cut scene when you start, Bravo Element 
will be holding their positions. There will be two Iron Brothers ahead of you. You can wait for 
them to finish talking and then take them out one at a time with Rifle Butts and Knife Attacks, 
or you can use First Person to get good aim and spray them both with the HK5SD if you have it. 
The bullets will go through the first Iron Brother and kill them both. They have AK47s. There 
is a second pair of Iron Brothers on the other side of the barge. Use the same tactics on them 
and don't forget to hide the bodies. Now go back to where the first pair was and shoot out the 
floodlights and other lights for more cover. There is a Black Marketer on patrol here. Focus on 
the snipers. There are two of them in elevated positions. Use your Night Vision Goggles to spot 
them. Don't kill them until you have identified them both and then take them out with single 
shots if you can. That leaves the sentry. Switch your gun to Burst and stand back otherwise 
your bullets will hit the side of the ship. With him gone, crawl up the ramp to the ship. Not 
getting spotted till this point will complete an objective. If both commanders (Iron Leader and 
Captain of the ship) are still unaware of your presence there will be a cut scene and another 
objective will be complete. Eliminate them before they can get back to their quarters. The Iron 
Leader has an Iron Brother guarding him and the Captain has a Black Marketer. Kill them too. 
Now order Bravo Element to follow. You could now shoot out some more lights before proceeding 
or just upstairs to the cabin to trigger another cut scene. There will be two Black Marketers 
with AK47's. If you have been detected you could just toss a grenade in and finish anyone who 
is left. Shoot the box to your right (radio) to complete an objective. Now go down to the ships 
hold. There are Black Marketers with AKS-74s down here as well as a few Iron Brothers. Once you 
go down the stairs, it don't matter which lot because they both lead to the same Black Marketer. 
There is another Black Marketer near the crates below him. Go down there and you will find a 
somewhat heavily guarded corridor. Kill the Iron Brothers and Black Marketers here. In one of 
the rooms here is a book of plans that you must get to complete an objective. You must now go 
down to the bottom of the ship where there should be four more Black Marketers. Order your team 
to Fire At Will and storm in and kill the two that you can see. In the room with the boxes are 
two more. Climb up the crates here to pick up the Iron Manifesto (don't know what this is for),
but it is a small folder. Go to the wall of the room lit red and press the action button when it 
prompts you to set your Satchel Charge and get another one of your SEALS to plant his. If you 
have done everything then this mission is complete now. 

Tips:
Take out lights with a silenced weapon when enemies aren't looking at them to decrease their 
field of vision. Don't do this before you have completed the objective where you must listen to 
the leader's conversation about their plans though, or they will break up the meeting.

Mission 2: Operation Frostbite: Ghost Town
Retrieve that intel and destroy those weapon caches, success is up to you...
Enemy: Iron Brothers
Weapons: Primary: HK5SD, SR-25, SR-25 SD, M4A1 SD, M40A1 (I'm not sure exactly)
         Secondary: Mark 23 SD, 9mm Pistol SD (I'm also not sure of what's available here either)
Enemy: Primary: 9mm Sub, 552, M40A1
       Secondary: DE. 50


Upon starting, get Bravo to move to Charlie to complete an objective. Use a SR-25 
(recommended for this mission) to take him out from distance. There is a second terrorist
here as well so wait for him and take him out. Now head up the small hill, and equip your Sniper 
Rifle. Take out the Iron Brother that is up here. Go up there and climb up the wall. Keep going 
along the path and go around the corner. Up ahead is a dead end-nothing here. So like I said, 
head left and take out the Iron Brother here. He is very close to you though, so perhaps who 
should switch to your pistol (preferably a silenced Mark 23 or silenced 9mm) and put a few 
bullets into him. Now these cliffs here are an excellent sniping position. You should be able to 
clearly see the Iron Brother walking around below, so take him out. If you have a sniper rifle 
with up to 16* zoom, you may be able to see the Iron Brother walking around to your far left 
faintly. Take him out if possible. Stealthily get to the lodge and go all the way around it 
otherwise you will have to go past some windows that they will see you from. You could also toss
a grenade through the window. Anyway, from around the lodge, go into the door and use a silenced 
weapon to take out the two Iron Brothers quickly. If you done it all correctly, then the Iron 
Brother up the stairs shouldn't come down. If he hasn't then go upstairs and take him out with a 
head shot (Objective Complete!). Now head towards the Mining House. This rectangular building 
houses two terrorists, not including Pincushion. Go in and take out the Iron Brother with a rifle
butt. Just go up to the other, but don't fire or you might hit Pincushion. Now rifle butt him 
(Objective Complete!) and go behind Pincushion and press X to restrain him (Objective Complete!).
Now leave the Destroy Weapon Caches objective till last, because the C4 explosions will cause 
the Iron Leader to begin deleting the data on the computer. So head over to the dredge, pausing 
every now and then to survey the area with your sniper rifle, because there are two Iron Brothers 
on patrol outside the dredge.  Use your Sniper Rifle to take them out. Now sneak up into the 
dredge and take out the Iron Brother who has a 9mm Sub here silently (perhaps a Knife Attack?) 
and then go to the other side of the dredge. Take out the Iron Brother here who has a 552 Assault 
Rifle with either a Sniper Rifle or silenced weapon. Now don't go upstairs. Instead, go outside. 
Locate the position of the generator and take it out with either explosives or pulling the lever 
(explosives will disable it permanently but draw attention). Now head back to the dredge and go 
up those stairs. There is another Iron Brother here. Just rifle butt him, because it will take 
him a moment to react. Now head to the last lot of stairs. Take out the Iron Brother here (a 
stun grenade first?). Beware of the other terrorist who is around the corner. He will never give 
up. So just finish him off with your silenced weapons. Now take that Intel on the table (the 
computer) and you will get an objective complete! Now leave this dredge. Depending on what you've 
done so far will attract a number of Iron Brothers in this location. You may want to pick up an 
enemy 9mm or 552 before holding them off. Three Iron Brothers will be charging down the hill. 
Just cut them down. Reinforcements will arrive once you go up the hill. Another two Iron Brothers 
charging and two using trees as cover and shooting at you from there. So cut them down with 
gunfire too. Now time to take out the Weapon Caches. There are three of them. Look on the TACMAP 
(Tactical map) for their precise locations. Approach each one and plant C4 on it, then run away. 
There shouldn't be very many terrorists left now. Just cut down whoever turns up. Now go and get
Pincushion and tell him to follow (you should have him restrained by now). Cut down any terrorists 
in your way with a 552 or 9mm Sub and clear the ammo filled Cabin (Objective Complete!). Now 
just head to the extraction point (precise location on TACMAP) to finish the mission. Pincushion 
must be with you alive though.

Tips:
There is lots of dense foliage to use for cover. When sniping, always hide in foliage to prevent 
being spotted. Of course, doing this with a loud weapon won't really help you. Don't bother 
sniping with a weapon other then a sniper rifle... you will most likely miss and the enemy you 
aimed at will investigate, decreasing your stealth rating and also decreasing your chance of 
finishing the mission.

Mission 3: Operation Frostbite: Oil Platform Takedown
The Iron Brotherhood has launched an offensive. They have taken over an oil rig and are prepared 
to die (taking all the oil rig personnel with them) during the detonation of the oil rig. They 
are on a suicide mission, and you must make sure they don't take out the oil rig and release oil 
into the water, poisoning the sea life and making the oceans unsafe. Use stealth to take them out
before they can.
Enemy: Iron Brothers
Weapons: Primary: HK5 SD, M4A1 SD
         Secondary: (I'm not sure)
Enemy: Primary: 9mm Sub, AKS74, M40A1
       Secondary: Model 18 (I think)

Start off with Bravo in holding position. Do not tell them to follow until you have completed the 
"Silent Intrusion" or something like that objective. There are two Iron Brothers to the right of 
the large crate thing that you start behind. I recommend the M4A1 SD for this mission. Shoot them 
both. There are two ways you can do this mission. You can go into Building D (Objective Complete) 
and then go down the tunnel that is sort of hard to see. Just follow it along and take out 
enemies. Alternatively, go forwards, till you see a ramp, and you will see the two snipers you 
were ordered to eliminate. Find them with the NVG (Night Vision Goggles) which replace the 
binoculars on night missions (Objective Complete), shoot them (Objective Complete) and if you 
have done all this silently then (Objective Complete) the time won't start. Either way, you will
run into one of the Iron Brothers who have got a radio. If you kill him, he won't be able to 
report, and that will cause the Iron Leader to start the time. Luckily, you will be able to hear 
what they're saying. They have code-names (you will either run into Green, or if you go the other
way I think you run into Black). I'll leave exploring that area up to you, because I rarely go 
that way and therefore I don't know what is there. Anyway, assuming you go my way there should 
be a building that is what this ramp leads up to. This is building B that you have come across.
Go in and you will spot two Iron Brothers. Take them both out silently, (objective complete) with 
a silenced pistol preferably and then go to the door on the right of the room. Go out and you 
will come across one of those darned bombs. Position Kahuna in front of it and hold down the X 
button to begin defusing it. Once he is finished (the process may take twenty seconds). Now head 
down the ramp to the next area. There will be another of those bloody bombs here too, so begin 
defusing this one, but beware that there are almost always two Iron Brothers coming at you from 
the direction Kahuna is facing once the bomb defusing process starts. Remember that your men can 
do this as well, if things get tough and you can cover them. Anyway, once this second bomb is 
defused and the two Iron Brothers that I mentioned are taken out and hopefully silently then 
you shall head to the next area. Go to where the Iron Brothers you just killed were, go down 
the ramp, past this building (don't go in). Keep moving and forward go past Building C and then 
when you see building E turn left and go to the large green things. Check here for the final 
bomb. One Iron Brother with an M40A1 will be here, kill him first and have your men watching 
your back in case more Iron Brothers come (about three). Objective complete! Now head into the 
building E, kill the Iron Brother and then go down the corridor. Check the door marked 
"Authorized Personnel Only" and the hostages will be in here and in safety because the door is 
locked. Objective complete! If all hostiles in building E are dead then the "Secure Building E" 
objective is complete. Now head outside and go to building C. There should be a sort of kitchen 
and a Iron Brother will rush at you, firing. Shoot him dead. Now there are three rooms. The one 
of the left has one Iron Brother and one hostage. Kill the Iron Brother with your silenced pistol
(be quick or they will kill the hostages) then go into the room that has two doors. Kill the 
Iron Brother here before he can kill the hostage. Restrain the hostage (go behind him and press 
X) and if you haven't restrained the other hostage go back and do it to him. Now go into the 
final room of building C, kill the Iron Leader while he is looking at the video game thing and 
sometimes there is an Iron Brother in here too, so M4A1 him (the M4A1 is recommended for this 
mission). The "Secure Building C" objective will be complete. Go outside and head up to the 
Helipad. There are two Iron Brothers up here. Kill them with a spray of M4A1 bullets. Go back 
down and head to building A. There is one Iron Brother there. Spray him with some M4A1 rounds. 
If you haven't gone to building D then go there, but there is no one there to kill, strangely. 
Once all this has been completed, the "Secure Oil Platform" objective will be complete. Mission 
accomplished!

Tips: 
Don't make your move without some good recon first. Study the map before attempting this mission, 
check the TACMAP every now and then, and most of all make your own recon before moving so you 
can take out the snipers and sentries that the Iron Brothers have on this level.

Remember to have your men covering your back at all times while defusing bombs, it is very 
important, because once the time starts, your enemies will be on to you from all directions.

If time is running out, go into building C (I think the Iron Brotherhood are using it as a sort 
of headquarters, then take out the Iron Leader for some extra time although this does not always 
work for some reason.

Mission 4: Operation Good Karma: Golden Triangle Holiday
I guess it's called that because there are three islands or is there. This is a huge map, full of
muddy, swampy warfare especially in the later stages. The new enemy, the Riddah Rouge plans must be found and taken. Destroy as many Riddah as you can to mess up their organisation on the way.
Enemy: Riddah
Weapons: Primary: HK5SD, HK5, M14, M40A1, M60E3, SR-25, SR-25SD, M4A1SD, M4A1, M16A2
         Secondary: Mark 23, Mark 23SD, 226, 9mm Pistol
Enemy: Primary: AK47, 552, M63A
       Secondary: (I'm not sure)

The approach to this mission should be stealth, but I only use stealth to complete the first 
objective. Shoot the Riddah on the hill that you can see right where you start. Follow the path 
of grass that's in the water. It leads right. Just keep heading right till an objective is 
complete (go right following the grass, that is). Now from here, just kill the two Riddah with 
your SR-25 SD (I recommend you choose this before entering the mission). The "Eliminate Sentries" 
objective should be complete. Go under the house thing (don't kill the Riddah in here yet) and 
listen to them talking about eliminating enemies of the people and stuff. Objective complete! 
Now go up the stairs into the hut, kill the two Riddah with SR-25 SD fire. Note: You can try and 
kill enemies that are in the huts by shooting them through the floor! The "Secure Outer Island" 
objective will be complete. Get the folder off the table to complete the "Search Hut For Intel" 
objective. All objectives on the first island are now complete. Head over to the island with the 
tall tree, but don't actually go to it. It has a lot of foliage on it.  There are two Riddah on 
patrol here, or they are just standing there behind the foliage. Head shot them with the SR-25 SD
(recommended for this mission). A force of three Riddah (I think they are suspicious) will come 
to the island, crossing the water from a position on a nearby island. Keep calm, have Kahuna 
crouched and still and start getting head shots (quite easy) with the SR-25 SD or you can have 
your men do it. Don't go onto the island, because another three Riddah will appear and cause 
unnecessary engagements. Go left around the island where all this confusion is and you come 
across the big island that is by far my favourite! Note: Ignore all this and go directly for the
dock area on the large island and take out the boats quickly. Using stealth on this island is 
very tough, so I give you geographical intelligence on it in case you want to create your own SOP
(Standard Operating Procedure). 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Island Intel:
The island is cut in two. The bit you have come across is by far smaller. The gap between them 
is narrow, and a wooden bridge connects both parts. The gap is like a trench and it is narrow 
enough to go through (perhaps you may want to go through here). A Riddah patrols at the end, so 
head shot him if he is visible. The Riddah Rouge have several installations on the big part of 
the island, a path from the dock area leads to a village type area. Bad news, that is! One hut 
can be seen from your position, and serves as a sort of sentry tower. One Riddah is in here. In 
the village area, there is one hut that is only partially built, and should be unguarded if you 
have been completely stealthily till now. If not, one Riddah with an M63A should be here. Right 
next to this is Hut One, which you must take over. It is large, sort of like two huts joined 
together. There are four Riddah here and all must be killed. Hut Two has two Riddah in it. Try 
shooting Riddah through the floor for fun (an idea if you know the precise location of the 
Riddah!). The "Final Hut" is on the other side of the island and you are advised to breach it 
(perhaps you could go all the way around the island and go here first). The most threatening 
area is the village area (basically Hut One and Hut Two near each other and packed with Riddah 
and the dock). Also, this island has a fair bit of foliage, but the village area and other areas
are clearings. Clear these areas before setting foot on them. The terrain on this island goes as 
follows. The small bit is highly elevated, but the stairs that you should be facing lead up to 
it. The big island (side facing you is the same. Both are like miniature cliffs. On the right, 
where the docks are and everything to the back of the island is not elevated, and you can walk 
straight up here and it goes uphill rapidly until you reach the part you should be looking at 
right now. The two main fortifications goes as follows. The wooden stairs that lead up to the 
small part of the island have a fallen tree trunk. Two Riddah are using this as a barricade (you 
will have to kill them to go up the stairs stealthily). The other is the dock, and I recommend 
sniping from the first hut I mentioned in this intel. The dock is basically unguarded, but it is
a good position and a nightmare to be doing a frontal assault on when the enemy is alert. Just one 
non-silenced gunshot gets all the Riddah on this level alert! Enemy details goes as follows. The 
enemy will head to the dock for evacuation if the boats are still around and they have been 
alerted for quite some time (an idea if you don't care about your stealth rating, perhaps you can 
just waste them as they head for the boats. There is only one sentry on this island, the one that 
I mentioned that walks around the end of the gap between islands. Enemy troops will come in from
position Zulu (three Riddah) to attack after breaching the final hut (a secondary objective) so 
beware of them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, intelligence report finished, back to taking over this island (a nightmare on higher 
difficulties) and this is my favourite island too. This is my SOP for this situation. I didn't 
go straight to the docks, remember that what I do here is the most stealthily approached. From 
where you are, move in closer and stopping to check if the two Riddah at the fallen tree have 
appeared yet, and as soon as they do, hold your position, crouch and stay still and begin getting
them both with head shots. Once they are dead, run up the stairs (make sure your men are holding
fire, stealth is important to succeed here). Turn right and you will see the first hut that I 
mentioned in the intel on this island. Go to the little wooden bridge and you should be in front
of it. Go under the hut, and if you still have a 100% stealth rating until you get here, you will
hear him say "The people must be liberated even if it costs them their lives or something like 
that. I just got in close and killed the Riddah inside by shooting him with the Mark 23 SD (what
I had with me) and then pistol butting him while he was giving a shout of agony. He has a 552 
Assault Rifle. From here you should be able to see the island's only sentry and this gives you a
good view of the docks area (the two boats are here, but I left them as the last objective). Head
shot that sentry that is walking about here. Now send Bravo to position Juliet to complete that 
objective, and then have them follow you again. Follow the path and it will lead to Hut One and 
Hut Two (or check your TACMAP). Go to the partially built house and aim at Hut One (the biggest 
one of them all). There are four Riddah here. Two of them, stay at the windows for a while and 
then run out to the other room, for no apparent reason. Aim for them first and take them out with
a head shot for each of them. Now get in closer, a silenced pistol equipped and rush into both 
rooms. The other two Riddah should be in the left side of Hut One. Pop out and shoot them quickly
and if you have not killed them, go back behind cover and do this again until both are dead. The 
"Clear Hut One" objective should now be complete. Go over the other hut, this one is just one of 
the normal ones. Two Riddah are in here, both with AK47's. Do the pop out and shoot then retreat
tactic again to kill them both, and don't spend a long time at it or else they will fire (see 
tips section for this level to find out more on this tactic). Objective complete! If you have 
cleared both Huts in this village-like area, then the "Secure Main Complex" objective is complete.
Time to head to the Final Hut. Look at your TACMAP to find it's precise location, it should be 
somewhere at the other end of the island. Order Bravo to Bang/Clear (throw in a stun grenade 
then run in and kill hostiles) or Frag/Clear (throw in a Frag Grenade and kill hostiles). I 
think there is also a Smoke/Clear command and a HE/Clear command, but I'm not sure. I don't use
HE (High Explosive) grenades on stealth missions and never use Smoke Grenades (they don't have a
purpose really. It would be cool if you could call in Helicopters with them, but you can't. Once
the Riddah in there is dead, objective complete! Go in and take the Bio-Data off the table and 
the "Retrieve Bio-Data or something like that objective is complete. The lady at HQ will now 
inform you that the sound of weapon fire has alerted extra Riddah. Go outside and you will notice
them coming from position Zulu, on the final island. Give them a few shots each before they get 
to your position which is rather difficult to do, but you will have to bear with it. Go back to 
the docks now and destroy the boats, only two enemies are left alive and they are on the last 
island. Objective complete! Just remember that if you can't place a C4 on the back of the boat 
then go to the back of the boat and do it. Now head for position Zulu, not far from the Final 
Hut. You will come across many crates, and two Riddah, one with an AK-47 and one with a 552 are 
here, anoung them. Kill them (head shot from the SR-25 or an M67 or HE grenade will do. You can 
now go safely to the extraction point in the middle of the island to finish the mission, or you
can enjoy this levels lush scenery, like the large island (my favourite that I spent ten minutes
or so exploring). Remember that there should still be some Riddah patrolling the really small 
islands.

Tips:
On this level there are barrels. Ones that sparks come out of explode, from continuous fire. They
are good during gun battles, against clusters of enemies.

Use the "peekaboo" tactic (useful on games like Syphon Filter here). Go to a corner, and move the
camera so that you can see your enemies, then use the left or right button to lean past that 
corner and take out a few enemies. Useful tactic with the pistols. Be quick though, because the 
enemy won't hesitate to blow all the blood out of your body with a burst of accurate gunfire.

Mission 5: Operation Good Karma: Temple At Hohn Kaen
The Riddah are desperate after losing their outpost and as a result have kidnapped an ambassador
and his wife and demand ransom. However, if this is paid then Thongkon (Riddah Rouge Leader) will
have enough money to buy the resources needed to build his horrible weapons. You must go in, 
hopefully without letting the terrorists know what has happened because they will kill the 
hostages if they do.
Enemy: Riddah
Weapons: Primary: M60E3, SR-25, SR-25SD (I'm not sure of them all exactly)
         Secondary: (I'm not sure)
Enemy: Primary: AK47, M63A, M40A1
       Secondary: (I'm not sure)

You will start off behind a large rock. Check the Support menu you will have the option to call 
in a sweep, that is, basically calling in a helicopter to take out as many terrorists as possible 
before leaving and some nice music will play at the same time. You won't be able to complete the 
"Eavesdrop on conversations" objective though. Anyway, back to the mission. Call in the sweep now 
or else begin moving and go straight ahead. Around here you will find a Riddah in concealment. 
Kill him with a Knife Attack or Rifle Butt. From here you will see two Riddah walking along on 
patrol. Take out the one at the back with a silenced weapon (if not then the "Eavesdrop On Conversations"
objective will fail). Do the same for the other guard. There should be three more Riddah in the 
area. One has an M40A1 and is in the house to the far left. Take him out with the SR-25 SD 
(recommended for this mission). There is one in a boat behind the nearest house, so get a head 
shot on him. The last one will be on patrol opposite this valley area that you are in, so you 
can either head shot him if your good, otherwise leave him for now and get in a bit closer after
eavesdropping on the first conversation. The objective on the TACMAP at the top, whatever it's 
called will now be completed if all Riddah in this area are taken out. Now go under this first 
house, listen to the Rice Farmers talking about the hostages and it will say up the top when they
are finished. No go to the house all the way over to the right of this area and do the same. If 
the Rice Farmers are still unaware of what happened then the "Eavesdrop On Conversations" 
objective is complete. Head to the next area, which is all the way up the top of this valley and
you will go through a arch thing and come out in a grassy area with plenty of grass and 
vegetation. There are two Riddah with M40A1s acting as snipers up above you, two Riddah crouched
over the hills to your right, and two Riddah on patrol, who you should take out with your SR-25 
SD first. Now head up the hills to your left, sticking close to the walls so that the snipers 
above you can't shoot you and shoot the two Riddah here with your SR-25 (don't do this while they
are talking on their radios obviously). Now the next bit might sound a bit suicidal. Climb up to
the top of the arch, with a silenced pistol and gun them down before they can fire their M40A1s 
and draw attention. From here, snipe any Riddah coming down the stairs (usually only one) which 
you have to go up next. So go up the stairs that I said you should go up and you can go left or 
right (I always go left for some reason) but they both lead to the same area anyway. There are 
four Riddah in this area. One on patrol in the water to the far left, head shot him first. The 
remaining three Riddah will get suspicious. Leave the sniper who is up the stairs on the far end 
of this area till last. The two Riddah that come should be eliminated next, preferably with a 
silenced pistol because they are up so close. Now take out that sniper before he can see you, 
although to aim at him you must be in a position where he can see you, so take him out quick. 
Now, you can either go to the path on the far right of this area, which is over this small bridge
that goes over the water that the first Riddah in this area that I mentioned patrols. Or you can
go up to the window and take out some Riddah first, although you will almost certainly be spotted.
Go to the window and take out the sniper who is at the window which is almost opposite, although
not quite. Three or four Riddah come down the stairs, don't bother with them yet. Now go up the 
path I mentioned and when you see the shadowy area, get down and make sure Bravo Element is on 
hold till the three terrorists are killed. Use your SR-25 SD and take out a terrorist when 
another isn't facing him, and if they notice that they are being sniped at, then they will run 
for cover or attack you. Now strangely, there is a fourth terrorist here, but you can't see him 
yet. Either he comes out of nowhere when all the other Riddah are killed or when you are not 
facing them, then he will fire at you. Kill him as well with your scope. The "Identify Sentries"
objective will be complete if you use your NVG or scope to kill them from distance, and the 
"Secure Flank" and "Ambush Flank Guards" objective will be complete as soon as you run up the 
stairs on the left or where the Riddah are. Now, you should go up the stairs first, not ahead, 
you'll come back there later. Anyway, once upstairs, go forward and take out those three Riddah 
if you didn't take them out from the window position before. Otherwise go right. You will come 
across some gaps in the wall where you can take out the sniper who is positioned at the top of 
the arch. Now keep going along to the wall, turn left, past the statue and keep going till you 
reach the arch the sniper that you just killed was on. If you pass the arch you come to a dead 
end. Once out, head over to the small building on your right but do not go in. First, you might 
want to plant some Claymores at the arch, because Riddah will come out of there once you have the
ambassador's wife. Throw in a Stun Grenade before entering and make sure to throw it towards the 
right of the room. Run in, kill the Riddah closest to her and then the other with Rifle Butts or 
perhaps Knife Attacks. If they surrender, then do what you like with them. Anyway, once they are 
out of the way then Restrain the ambassador's wife. Objective complete. Now order her to follow 
you and head to the middle of this area outside. Call for Support (it will reappear) and then 
call for Extract. Now watch that arch and detonate the Claymores as soon as you see the first 
Riddah coming, then quickly turn right and take out the Riddah here who is about shoot at the 
ambassador's wife as she is about to get in the helicopter. Then shoot anyone else remaining 
(sometimes a third Riddah comes out of the arch). Now there is another Riddah inside the large 
temple, so go in there and kill him if you want and then go through the arch or just go through 
the arch. Now go all the way back to them stairs and go up the path this time. Get down as soon 
as you get around the corner and start sniping. Shoot the sniper on top of the arch here (once 
he fell off which looked really funny), and then the Riddah who is on patrol back and forward. 
There is a third Riddah who usually just stands about so head shot him last. Get up from your 
little sniping position (make sure all your men are following you and follow this path. When you
see the Riddah who is patrolling this path, just take him out with a silenced pistol. Keep going
till this path ends and you see some ruins. There are two Riddah here, one you can see 
immediately, so get out your SR-25 SD and snipe him and then stick close to the nearest temple, 
silenced pistol equipped and shoot the other. Go forward, but just edge around this next corner 
with your sniper rifle and shoot the sniper here. Now run forward up the stairs into his good 
sniping position. Take out your SR-25 SD and start getting a head shot in on all of the Riddah, 
there are heaps of them if you look around enough then equip your pistol, run down to the big 
building here and blast the Riddah talking to the ambassador. Aim up and kill any Riddah here 
(usually one). Restrain the ambassador to complete the mission! No need to take him to a 
helicopter, strangely. Congratulations, you have just finished one of the game's toughest 
missions. Well done!

Tips:
Don't use anything noisy for the duration of this level, stealth is important. Use silenced 
weapons always, snipe from distance and use Rifle Butts and Knife Attacks whenever.

Snipers aren't excellent on this game. Don't fear enemy snipers, the accurate and deadly M40A1s 
that they carry take ages to reload compared to other weapons. Rush snipers, strafing slightly 
as you charge at him with your pistol. A sniper shot doesn't take a lot of damage off you, 
because they don't seem to take time to aim, and usually hit you in the foot. He will reach for 
his pistol when you are right next to him, just pistol butt him while he does.

Mission 6: Operation Good Karma: City Of The Forgotten
The Riddah Rouge is now hiding. Sudarak Thongkon code-named Bad Dog is here and so are those 
darned weapons that he's got. It's your job to go in and finish the Riddah Rouge for good!
Enemy: Riddah
Weapons: Primary: M60E3, SR-25, SR-25SD (I'm not sure of them all exactly)
         Secondary: (I'm not sure)
Enemy: Primary: AK47, M16A2, MGL, M40A1 (not sure if the M63A is used on this level)
       Secondary: (I'm not sure)

You start off in the jungle. Run along the jungle towards the house-like thing and you will see 
two Riddah. Take out the one on the right first, if you take out the guy on the left, the guy on 
the right will turn and see it. So head shot the Riddah on the right, and then the Riddah on the 
left. There's nothing in the hut of interest. Move forward slowly, and look through your NVG 
(the scenery on this level is great, isn't it). Keep looking back and forth until you see the 
Riddah coming, but don't shoot till you actually see his whole head, and if he's using his radio, 
don't shoot. If you do shoot him while he is talking on the radio, whoever he was talking to 
would know what happened, obviously. So after giving him a head shot then keep moving forward 
and you will come across the low rise in the terrain, where the next sentry is. Look at him 
through the NVG or Rifle Scope until he is identified and then aim for his head and squeeze as 
long as he is not talking on the radio. Keep moving forward again, and the third Riddah will be 
up ahead at the second hut. There is sometimes a Riddah in the hut as well. Identify the sentry 
and head shot him. Now go hunting for the last guy who is just nearby and head shot him. Now go 
back to the second hut and use your Pistol repeatedly on the guy here (Mark 23 SD or 9mm Pistol 
preferably). If you have used your NVG to identify all the four sentries then you will get an 
objective complete. If you have killed all the sentries you will get an objective complete. Once
you head towards the next area you will also get another objective complete. Now go to the next 
area, which is just up this strip of jungle. There are many Riddah here, and at least one with 
an MGL. Try and kill Mr. MGL first, because if he shoots you then you won't stand a chance. 
There should be four others left, not including the one that is sometimes in the hose thing to 
the left. Stay standing and once you see an enemy then you can get down and lie prone. Now kill 
him with a head shot. After you've killed one then pull back and wait for the others to come 
looking, because they do that. Just head shot each one as he comes toward you, you can get your 
team to Fire At Will which helps. Once all the four or five Riddah on patrol here are dead then 
you will get an objective complete. Clear the hut if there is an enemy in there. Now go forward 
and up the stairs. But if you have been shot at already then wait for the enemy to come running 
down the stairs. If you haven't been noticed yet, they will be behind the wall to the right of 
the stairs where the campfire is. Anyway, kill the Riddah walking around with a head shot (he is 
to the left of the stairs) and go up them. Now look right to face the two Riddah at the fire. Get 
to the wall and use the peek tactic to take them out one at a time (peekaboo and then use sniper 
rifle and go back). The second terrorist may run at you, so just rifle/pistol butt him as he goes 
around the corner). Now go to where the sentry was and keep going left towards the area marked 
Compound on the radar. Once around the corner you will see a Riddah walking around. Head shot him. 
Now go towards the stairs leading to the small building and stop. Shoot the Riddah that comes 
running towards you here. Now go up the stairs and kill the Riddah coming down them with your 
silenced pistol (you should have chosen the Mark 23 SD or 9mm Pistol). Go into the building and 
stick close the thing in the middle of the room and move around it. Quickly rush the Riddah here 
and kill him with your pistol or a pistol/rifle butt. Objective complete! Now head back outside 
and go to your right. When you come upon a sort of tunnel go in. If you have been undetected all 
the time so far then they will be talking about Thongkon and his plans. Use the peekaboo tactic 
to kill them, and if one of them runs at you then just wait for him to come around the corner 
and then smash him dead with a rifle butt. If you have been detected then you will hear the 
shouts of attacking Riddah. About three will come into the tunnel thing and cause unnecessary 
engagements so attempt to be unnoticed. Now go to the end of the tunnel thing and you will come 
out in a place filled with ruins. Riddah patrol here, there is one at the far left which is 
where you have to go and another will come running so head shot him from distance. No you will 
be facing the Temple. This is where Thongkon is. First, kill the Riddah on the stairs to the 
right. Now go in quietly and if you have been undetected so far then you will here one Riddah 
say to Thongkon "Sir, the men say they are being attacked by ghosts". Thongkon will reply 
"Simpletons. They are not ghosts but soon they will be" or something like that. You will need 
Mark 141 grenades (stun grenades) to make Thongkon surrender quickly, or else you will need to 
follow him and risk being under fire. Believe me, it can be done. Restrain Thongkon to finish the 
objective (you can just kill Thongkon, but you won't get 100% if you do. Now leave him there 
(objective complete) and pick up the intelligence report on the ledge thing here somewhere 
(objective complete). From here you can head back outside (not really anything to do here, 
though). Go down the stairs to the door that's here, but it is resistant to your firepower. Place
a C4 on it and back off, and make sure your fellow SEALs aren't near it either, because once the 
green bar on the right of the screen has gone then the C4 will explode (objective complete). As 
soon as it has equip your pistol and head down the stairs that are behind it. Two Riddah will 
come up so take them out and go down these stairs. Another two will appear at the stairs here so 
kill them then go through here. Go towards the big lot of stairs but beware, four Riddah are 
coming up here, so get busy with your pistol and calmly kill them one at a time. Now go down the 
huge stairs and turn left. Go down these small stairs here and you will face the last two Riddah 
on the level. Kill them and go to the thing in the corner of the room. Don't go through the gate 
thing or the mission will be aborted. So as I said, go to the thing in the corner and press X. 
When all the rockets have disappeared then it is mission complete! 

Tips:
On the jungle bit, you could try staying in the water and staying close to the beach for the 
jungle bit. I've tried it before, and it's a good strategy. Just don't go out too far or you'll 
fail the mission.

Use the Cover Area command to help you when you are advancing. Bravo Element will cover you as 
you head to where the crosshairs were when you gave the command.

Mission 7: Operation Swift Justice: Mercenary Staging Area
The Riddah Rouge have been defeated. But there is no rest for you and your SEALs. Some marines 
have been kidnapped by a mercenary organisation and are being tortured in their camp. But first 
you must take out the mercenary staging area and defeat them there. They have been stockpiling 
some ammunition, so you must also destroy that to prevent the mercenaries from getting the 
weapons that they need.
Enemy: Mercenaries
Weapons: Primary: HK5 SD, HK5, M14, M40A1, SR-25 SD, M87ELR, M4A1, M4A1 SD, M16A2
         Secondary: Mark 23 SD, 226, Mark 23
Enemy: Primary: M60E3, M14, M40A1
       Secondary: M9

I find that this mission is impossible to do by stealth, so the M60E3 is ideal for this mission. 
The mercenaries have SEAL weapons, strangely. You start off in a patch of grass. Run forward and 
kill the two mercenaries here with the M60E3, now go right from here up the road. Kill all the 
mercenaries you come across (about four) and one has an M14. Kill them all with machine-gun fire. 
Mercenaries will come from the small camp area as well so go there but first kill the mercenary 
with the M14 that goes up the cliff like thing to do some "no-scope sniping". Now go to the camp 
place as I said and from here go right. You may encounter a few patrols on your way to the hut. 
Kill the mercenary here (you can shoot his legs from underneath the hut) and plant a satchel 
charge on the communications tower thing here to see a cool cut-scene where the tower blows up. 
The "Disable Communications" objective will be complete. Alternatively you could go in the hut 
and shoot the communications box on the bench to save your satchel charge.  Go uphill and kill 
the mercenary that you see here (the hut with the map is behind it. Use your binoculars and look 
from the right of the communications tower thing to find it). He has an M60E3. Go inside and pick 
up the Map off the table. Objective complete! Now check your TACMAP and find the position of Site
1. Stay away from the roads and head towards the area that doesn't lead to the 2 sites on the 
TACMAP. Be sure to kill the mercenary with the M79 Grenade Launcher on the way, because he will 
kill you quicker than anyone else. The sniper in the tower has an M40A1. Just go up there and 
kill him (if you have a sniper rifle) then shoot him from the ground. Three mercenaries will 
swarm you. Lie prone and let them eat lead from here. Another mercenary will be behind the 
house-like thing here so kill him as well. Don't keep going forward or you will leave the mission
area and abort the mission. Go right towards the two sites to flank them. As soon as you do 
though, five or so mercenaries will charge at you from the camp, so lie prone and let them have 
lead. Once you've finished, take time to aim and take out the sniper, go up there yourself and 
kill him or have your men kill him, it's your choice. But the sniper has an M40A1 so watch out. 
Once he is dead, go into the camp itself. There are some tents and lots of crates here. Kill the 
mercenary who is guarding Site 1. Order Boomer or another member of your team to place a satchel 
charge here. If you have a satchel charge then do it yourself (you probably used it on the 
communications tower). The "Site One Satchel" objective will be complete. Run along to Site 2, 
and kill the terrorist here that has an M60E3. The "Secure Area" objective will be complete. Now 
order a member of your team to plant a satchel charge at Site 2. Objective complete! Now 
evacuate the area and go far away from here, this place will blow up. You will see an awesome 
cut-scene showing the ammunition that you planted the satchels at blow up. But if you go back, 
strangely there is not much wreckage to look at, you will be disappointed. The "Destroy 
Munitions" objective will be complete. Now you will get an objective named "Prevent Enemy 
Escape". So go back along the road and the last mercenaries should be here at the eating area. 
Kill the chef and the two mercenaries and take out the sniper however you like. If the mission 
is not finished here then you're going to get frustrated and will have to search the whole map 
to find the last mercenaries (they don't come up on your radar). I've mentioned all the terrorist
positions so by the time you get here they should be all dead. Objective complete! If all other 
objectives have been completed then mission complete!

Tips:
Have your men on Fire At Will mode at all times. This isn't your usual stealth mission and so you
must prepare for hardcore combat as well as your men.

Lie prone when using the M60E3 and M63A, the recoil is excessive and firing from this position 
increases it considerably.

Want to try the mission using stealth? Be my guest. Just remember that the SR-25 SD is the only 
chance you've got at attempting this level if you do it that way. It just seems impossible to do 
it stealthily.

Mission 8: Operation Swift Justice: POW Camp
The mercenaries have a well-defended outpost deeper in the jungle. The POWs are being held here 
and it is up to you to get them out. This is one of the game's toughest missions- exercise
extreme caution.
Enemy: Mercenaries
Weapons: Primary: HK5 SD, HK5, M14, M40A1, M60E3, SR-25, SR-25 SD, M4A1, M4A1- M203, M4A1 SD, 
                  M16A2-M203, M16A2
         Secondary: Mark 23, 226, 9mm Pistol, Mark 23
Enemy: Primary: AKS-74, M82A1A, M63A
       Secondary: F57

You start off this mission on a small path in the jungle that was probably designed for vehicles 
that need to get in. Have Bravo hold position and have them hold fire.  Go forward a bit to the 
rock and lie prone. Wait for Boomer to catch up and then go around the rock. When you see the two 
mercenaries lie prone on the ground and wait for them to get far away from the tree as possible. 
Kill the mercenary at the back with a head shot so that the guy in front does not notice (you 
should have the SR-25 SD so he won't hear you either) and then head shot him. Now go forward but 
when you get close to the tree go into crouching stance and move slowly. One of the two 
mercenaries you can now see says to the other "You worry too much. They will never find us here". 
If they say this then that means that they have not noticed the death of their two comrades. This 
bit is rather tough to do without being seen for a moment. Have your SR-25 SD aimed at one of the 
mercenary's heads. Now shoot one of them repeatedly as you run towards the other and rifle butt 
him. Once they are both dead (hopefully you are still stealthily and objective complete by the 
way!) then head forwards till a Help message comes up saying something about the mercenaries 
having guards posted here. Now go back and get crouched with the SR-25 SD. There are about three 
sentries around that will shoot you really quickly (excluding the sentry himself).  If you have 
been spotted already they will be running towards you for a moment, and you won't have much of a 
chance of eliminating them silently. Watch the sentry through your sniper scope when he appears 
on the cliff thing up ahead and snipe him. Objective complete! Now eliminate the mercenary who 
will be almost automatically in your sights. He will be running if he saw the sentry die so shoot 
him quick. The second mercenary of the three will usually follow him- kill him as well. If he 
doesn't then move in with your pistol... you know what to do to him. Once he is dead move for the 
last mercenary who is to the left somewhere. Objective completed once you have killed this one. 
Go up the cliff thing from the left. But instead of going to where the sentry was, there is an 
even better sniping spot. Keep looking to your left and you will notice a narrow path that you 
can hardly stand on. Keep running to the top. You can't lie prone up here, I don't think but just 
remain crouched a snipe the sniper in the guard tower to the right. There are two mercenaries 
around, one nearby at the bottom of the hill and the other runs over the river thing. Don't head 
further towards the camp or the guard tower on the left yet, it is more stealthily if you head 
right. Head this way, and there will be three mercenaries. Two are on the ground with AKS-74s and 
one is in the tower with an M82A1A. Stay here, and have your gunsights trained in this area 
because the mercenary further away will sometimes run to attack here. Now take out the sniper in 
the tower. The last mercenary of this group will be behind the tree up ahead. You can probably 
see a part of him poking out but it isn't wise to shoot him until you can see his head. If you 
can't then run around the tree (come in from the left) and you will probably be behind the 
terrorist. Pistol/rifle butt him or pistol him quickly. Now head towards the guard tower and into 
the water. You will see a path but you can't go up that way. Climb up the rocks to the left and 
you will now be in a area covered with grass. One mercenary will sometimes run towards you here, 
just snipe him before he gets close. Now keep going towards the fence that is part of the POW 
camp and stop once at the rock. A mercenary is sometimes here and also in the guard tower here. 
Kill these mercenaries and go into the POW Camp. But there is a secret way to get into the camp 
and it is alot more covert. From that rock I said about, look to your right and there will be a 
hidden path (remember that observation is important to success on this game). You can get a clear 
shot in on Magnus from here and any other mercenaries. Lie prone and make sure your shots will hit. 
Ignore his taunts and kill Magnus (he will taunt you if you get into a shootout with him. Now 
have Bravo follow you and wait for them to get there. Since they will follow your path you have 
acted as a spearhead and have eliminated most of the mercenaries in their path there won't be 
many left for them to deal with. While you are waiting (objective complete as well) restrain the 
POWs and put them in the house and away from the windows. Objective complete! When Bravo arrives 
have them hold position in the house and order them to cover the door. Now they will keep 
watching the entrance at all times and terrorists that appear there will be top priority for 
elimination. So now that the POW's are safe you have a new objective. Pick up an AKS-74 (Magnus 
had one) and head for the cave. From the camp, go right down the path. There are two mercenaries 
at the house-like thing and one in the trees. Start shooting at them. When they are dead, move in 
and past the house. Now find the path leading up to the caves. There is sometimes one mercenary 
here (you can go into the caves from the other end, but assuming you follow me) so kill him. Go 
into the cave and there will be two mercenaries in the first part. Keep following the cave along 
till you reach an area with shallow water. Turn right and kill the mercenary you can see and 
don't bother going up there. Go left and kill the two terrorists. Now rescue the POW up the top 
and have him follow you. Now go back to the place with lots of water and go up the other part. 
Kill the two terrorists here (objective complete) and go outside. The camp should be around here, 
and the Extraction Point is here somewhere. Kill any mercenaries in the camp area before they 
notice you (about three). Now take out the two snipers in the tower (the only sniper tower with 
two snipers on it in the whole game). Take the POW up to extraction. Now run back to the POW Camp, 
and have Bravo and the POWs follow you. The path to and from the POW Camp to the Extraction point 
should be clear. Pause every now and then to wait up for them to catch up. Remember that as soon 
as all three get to the extraction point safely the mission is a success. But strangely as soon 
as a POW gets to the extraction point, only one bullet is all it takes to kill him.
 
Tips:
On higher difficulties this is a nightmare and you will be killed instantly as soon as a 
terrorist aims his gun at you. These guys are very tough, only fire a non-silenced weapon when 
they are not looking at you.

Mission 9: Operation Swift Justice: Mountain Assault
The mercenaries are on their last legs and are prepared to fight to the last man in an old German 
fortification. However, the marine commander, a certain Major Norris is still in terrorist hands 
and must be rescued. You are to infiltrate this stronghold and rescue him.
Enemy: Mercenaries
Weapons: Primary: HK5 SD, HK5, M14, M40A1, M60E3, SR-25, SR-25 SD, M87ELR, M4A1, M4A1-M203, M4A1 
                  SD, M16A2-M203, M16A2  
		 Secondary: Designator (compulsory). Boomer and Spectre can have the Mark 23 SD, 226, 
		            9mm Pistol, Mark 23. 
Enemy: Primary: AK47, M63A, M82A1A
       Secondary: F57

I used the M60E3 for this mission. Anyway, order your team to Fire At Will and make sure they are following you. Kill the 
two mercenaries that have AK47s that are on the small wooden bridge and blast the three 
mercenaries. Two have AK47s and one has an M63A. Now go the long way around to get the advantage 
of surprise over your enemy and take them down. There are about four of them. If you don't see 
four now, then the others will come. One or two of them are behind barricades as well, so use 
grenades if possible. Now go down the path and once around the corner, take out the mercenaries 
here. To your left is a sniper tower of sorts. It is easier to climb up there and blast the 
mercenary sniper who has an M82A1A. Mercenaries with M63As may appear in the place that you are 
about to go. Look around while you are still on the tower and kill the mercenary on the other 
tower. Get off the tower and follow the path once again. It will take you past a waterfall and 
head left. Once here, a mercenary will appear from the right and two from the left. Now go right 
and come across another sniper tower, but the guy on it should be dead if you shot him from the 
other sniper tower. More mercenaries are up on either path, but taking the right is probably 
safer. If you go right, instead of heading to the area near the first bunker, you will take a 
path with about four mercenaries. Kill them all and continue. There will be a mercenary sniper 
on the rocks. Eliminate him and the other mercenaries that are here on the ground. There is a 
front door to the base, but you can't get in that way. The first bunker is here on the hill left 
of the door. Use your Designator to call in an air strike to take it out but you might want to 
take out the mercenary in it first. Now back to that path and go left. More mercenaries await 
you. They have AK47s. The second bunker is at the end of this path on a hill to the left of the 
end of the path. Take out the mercenaries and remember that there are some waiting in ambush 
behind the rocks. Eliminate them. Take out the second bunker with an air strike called in with 
the Designator.  Go up the hill, while shooting mercenaries and heading down the next path. At 
the end is another bunker that you must take out. Now all the bunkers should be destroyed. Head 
into the base, but first eliminate the two mercenaries that charge out. Now once you have entered 
the door they came out of, you should be in the base. Go down the ramp. Remember that cutting off 
the power in this area (each area has a different fusebox) will disable the lights and decrease 
the chance of you being spotted. Once you are at the bottom, head right along the corridor. By 
the time you get here you will have completed an objective. Turn right and kill the mercenary 
(equip your silenced pistol or pick up an AK-47 or something like that off an enemy for this 
indoors fighting). Keep following the corridor and you will get to an empty room. Go forward more 
and you will be in a room with some shelves. Look to your left and there will be a ramp. You can 
go down there now (to finish the level you must go down there eventually) but there is a corridor 
up the other end of the room. There are three terrorists up ahead. Get up to the corner and run 
sideways while firing and then go back. The survivors will run around the corner, blast them as 
they do. Up ahead are some dead ends that are not really worth looking at, they just have a few 
items that can't be interacted with. Head back to that ramp and go down it. Turn off the power by 
turning off the fusebox to the left (objective complete!) and head forwards. There are four 
mercenaries in the next room. Take as many out as you can from here. Grenades are probably also 
a good idea but I haven't tried that. Now have your comrades fire at will and move in. Once all 
four have been killed, move to the other end of the room and behind the crates and open the door. 
Cut the wire (objective complete!) and the previously locked door is unlocked. Go through here 
(the door opens by itself as soon as the power is off) and take out the mercenary on here. Open 
the door and there will be two mercenaries. Kill them quickly incase they shoot Major Norris. 
Watch your fire as well. Once both mercenaries are killed then restrain Major Norris. If all 
other primary objectives are completed then you get a mission complete.

Tips:
Remember the positions of snipers. This is a truly excellent level to me. The foliage is dense 
and great for hiding in. There are two actual snipers that are on this level. One is on a large 
rock that you should pass after taking out all mercenaries in the towers. The other is rather 
hard to locate, but he is near bunker 2 and is in a highly elevated position.

Mission 10: Operation Serpent Strike: Prison Break
You are now up against some of the most dedicated and fanatical terrorists in the world! These
guys are extremely well organised and even have their own helicopter! Your mission is to 
infiltrate a prison (tough first few times). No, not like you think it is. The terrorists
actually control the prison and it is one of their outposts. Before them, it belonged to the
government forces but during all the warfare in Turkmenistan they took it. I am not sure, but I
think the government has been taken over by these terrorists- called the Sadikahu (don't know
what it means but it sounds very appropriate for these antagonists) and no longer exists to
oppose them, because nothing is mentioned about government forces in the briefings or on the
missions. Anyway, enough talk. Time to complete one of the game's toughest missions!
Enemy: Sadikahu
Weapons: Primary: HK5 SD, HK5, M14, M40A1, M60E3, SR-25, SR-25 SD, M87ELR, M4A1, M4A1-M203, M4A1 
                  SD, M16A2-M203, M16A2  
		 Secondary: Designator (compulsory). Boomer and Spectre can have the Mark 23 SD, 226, 
		            9mm Pistol, Mark 23. 
Enemy: Primary: AK47, M63A, M82A1A
       Secondary: F57


Weapons:
SOCOM: U.S Navy SEALs has an impressive arsenal of weapons, more than any other game of it's time
I tell you. Here's an explanation of each:

 Weapon Name       Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| HK5           | A sub-machine gun that is extremely useful for early battles. 30 rounds per  |
|               | magazine ain't much though, and you will find that you need to reload often. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| HK5 SD        | Ditto, except that this is silenced and seems to shoot a bit slower. Accuracy|
|               | and range appear to be reduced as well.                                      |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
| SR-25         | A sniper rifle, and very good. First available on Mission 2 and is semi-     |
|               | automatic. 20 rounds is more then enough per clip and the 8* scope is good.  |
|               | A definite surprise since it's the first sniper rifle you get.               |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| SR-25 SD      | The game's only silenced sniper rifle. It is basically the SR-25 fitted with |
|               | a silencer, and it has slightly less accuracy and range.                     |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M40A1         | A loud sniper rifle with a high recoil but it does more damage then the SR-25|
|               | or SR-25 SD. Bolt-action and holds 25 rounds. Slow rate-of-fire though.      |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M4A1          | The first SEAL assault carbine that you get and one of the best. It has 30   |
|               | rounds a magazine and a 2.5* scope. Loud, good range and accuracy with a slow|
|               | rate-of-fire meaning that the magazine isn't exhausted too quickly.          |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M4A1 SD       | Silenced M4A1 adapted for stealth. It also has a 3* scope for more pinpoint  |
|               | sniping.                                                                     |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M4A1+M203     | The M4A1 with an M203 Grenade Launcher capable of firing HE, Frag and Smoke  |
|               | grenades far further and quicker than Kahuna can throw them.                 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M14           | Forerunner of the M16, the M14 was made in 1957. Only 20 rounds a magazine,  | 
|               | worse accuracy and range. Why would you use it? It already is being phased   |
|               | out of service by the U.S military. Oh! and it can't fire bursts.            |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M60E3         | Oh yeah! Direct some solid firepower into your enemy with this unaccurate but|
|               | long ranged machine gun. 100 rounds per magazine. The perfect weapon for fire| 
|               | fights and is more accurate when lying prone.                                |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M63A          | Terrorist version of the M60E3. A very good weapon, and I think it is better |
|               | although it has a smaller magazine at 75 rounds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M16A2         | Updated version of the M16, the M16A2 can only fire single shots and bursts. |
|               | It has 30 rounds per magazine and is probably more accurate and longer ranged| 
|               | then it's newer carbine, the M4.                                             |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M16A2+M203    | The M16A2 Assault Rifle with an M203 Grenade Launcher slung underneath. The  |
|               | M203 is exactly the same on this weapon.                                     |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M87ELR        | A one-shot-one-kill sniper rifle with a 6* scope that can be zoomed in to 12*|
|               | . It is a bolt action rifle with 10 bullets per magazine.                    |                                                                              |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M82A1A        | The best sniper rifle for combat, the M82A1A fires an extremely powerful     |
|               | bullet that penetrates obstacles and goes right through them. 10 rounds a    |
|               | magazine and very deadly.                                                    |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| AK47          | An extremely common weapon, the AK47 and the AKS74 are the two most common   |
|               | terrorist weapons on SOCOM. Slow rate-of-fire and 30 rounds a magazine. Not  |  
|               | as good as the AKS74.                                                        |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| AKS-74        | The AKS74 is the most common terrorist primary weapon on the game. Nearly all|
|               | the Sadikahu have this weapon, and it is very good. Brilliant accuracy and   |
|               | range make this weapon good.                                                 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 552           | A common assault rifle in the first half of the game, the 552 is a weapon    |
|               | with a higher rate-of-fire than the AKS74, a bad thing since the gun chews   |
|               | up ammo faster.                                                              |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 9mm Sub       | No proper name for this weapon. Simply called 9mm Sub. Cool weapon, but very |
|               | useless. Shoots very fast.                                                   | 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| M79           | Grenade launcher that shoots slowly. Not as good as the MGL. Can fire Frags, |
|               | Smokes and HEs. Six rounds and that's all.                                   |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| MGL           | Grenade launcher. Try firing this up in the sky down onto your enemies for   |
|               | plenty of devastation. Six rounds and that's all. Fires different ammo to the|
|               | M79.                                                                         |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I think:
If you ask me, SOCOM: US Navy SEALS is a great game. Brilliant graphics and sound. I was having
trouble adjusting to the controls although there are several presets. There are twelve long 
missions, each with different objectives. The Prison Break level was rather annoying first time
through though, but thankfully there is nothing else like that on it. The plot is damned 
intriguing and addictive, but the cutscenes that introduce every new terrorist enemy need to 
be watched to experience this game at it's best. Each enemy type is well thought about and has 
his own reason for going against the United States. You can also choose from a list of 
extensive weapons. Sniper Rifles, Sub-machine Guns, Assault Rifles... even Grenade Launchers, 
it's all there. Once you have unlocked every single weapon, you will have over thirty to choose 
from. No officers though, strangely and the terrorists act without orders strangely. There is
only one vehicle battle on this either, although after fighting the Hind on the Prison Break 
you won't want to fight another vehicle. Blood is good here, not too much. No gore either but 
that's fine with me. Plenty of espionage and battles over the twelve expansive missions, 
fighting five different terrorist organisations. Strangely, you never get to fight actual 
troops though.

Last of all, I wanted to write about what I thought would be a really good multiplayer map for
SOCOM. It would be called Red Skies, and it would be really good for tactical game play.

Name:
Red Skies

Time: 
Combat will be early in the morning, at dawn.

Weather: 
Red Skies with black, obviously are really atmospheric. In reality, red skies lead to rain, so 
rain will be kicking in lightly.

Terrain: 
Wet black soil everywhere, patches of dead grass found occasionally, clumps of black trees, old 
wooden bridges that swing when you walk on them that are the way above shallow water. No live 
plants, very barren area. A few swamps that will bog vehicles down, best avoided.

Bases: 
Terrorists have the ruins of an Aztec temple, with numerous tunnels leading into it from the 
outside. The front entrance is very well fortified, both by the terrorists who have heavy machine 
guns pointing outwards and the old strong walls build by the Aztecs that can stop even M82A1A 
bullets. The SEALs have a more modern castle with weaker walls then the terrorist stronghold but
far more intact then the terrorist base.  

Vehicles: 
SEALs have the advantage, with about four light vehicles out the front of their castle and one
mammoth tank (a tank with the heaviest firepower but slowest speed in the game) at the back. The
terrorists have one light scout with a heavy machine gun on it in the base, which is best placed
at a weak spot to serve as a mobile machine gun.

Details On Terrain:
As previously said, the ground is wet black soil with the light rain splashing on it- good for
terrorists in black. As SEALs don't have any that dark, they are disadvantaged in terms of
concealment. As I said before, there are clumps of dead (burnt) trees and no leaves (still
standing trunks, not fallen tree trunks) that are mostly in the vicinity of the terrorist base.
Terrorist sharpshooters can do big damage from there. The soil is not entirely level, either and
is bumpy. The wooden bridges I spoke of (there are two be four of them over a shallow river that
runs through the middle of the map. Vehicles can't go over the bridges, and will be bogged if
they try to cross the water. Soldiers can cross without bridges, the water is not deep enough
but the water is deep enough to impair movement and slows down soldiers considerably. The
wooden bridges swing as they are walked on. The shallow river must be crossed by bridge or by
wading through the water to get to the other base. You cannot go around the river. The SEAL
castle is not fortified with machine guns, but the ground around it is extremely barren which
means the terrorists have no choice but to launch a frontal assault by foot. As no vehicle can
cross rivers, all vehicles should be used as mobile machine guns to make up for the lack of
defences on the SEAL side. The SEAL's castle has four groups of stairs on each corner leading
into it. The SEALs Mammoth Tank is behind the castle, but the castle cannot be outflanked and
terrorists must go through the castle to get through to the Mammoth Tank (whatever the heaviest
tank in the game is). The terrorists must go up any one lot of stairs to get on the castle- there
is no other way in. The castle walls are short enough for the men on top to stand up and shoot
over, but it is high enough so that crouched or prone SEALs cannot be hit. In the castle, a few
doors can be opened (not all) and these lead to rooms that the SEALs have stacked spare weapons
in (only SEAL weapons in these rooms) which can be picked up and used, and lots of spare ammo
as well. The SEALs should not let the terrorists get to this advantage, but the main corridor
that that branches off into the rooms is in the center of the castle and the terrorists must
fight up the stairs (have terrorists going up the two sets of stairs that can be accessed from
the front at the same time to surround SEAL forces) to get to it. The castle walls are not
strong enough and M82A1A rounds or M87ELR rounds can penetrate the walls to eliminate SEALs on
the castle roof that are crouched or prone (an attacking team of terrorists should have one man
equipped with an M82A1A or M87ELR to make use of this advantage). It also works the other way
but is obviously not as effective when the SEALs try to fire through it at the assaulting
terrorists. Both sides may want to destroy the bridges to hamper the other sides advance
although it also hampers your ability to quickly get over the river, now you have no choice but
to wade through the water to get over. The terrorists have a machine gun post at each of the
four round concrete tunnels and the machine gun posts are far in enough for the shadows of the
tunnel to protect them from SEAL snipers. The machine guns can be swivelled all the way around
to prevent terrorists coming out. Machine guns also guard the end of each tunnel leading into
the ruins. The only other way in is an assault up the stairs, which have four heavy machine guns
pointing outwards towards the clumps of trees the terrorists should have snipers at. This is
the terrorist's most concentrated defence, and an attack up the stone steps into the ruins is
suicidal when the defences are fully manned. The terrorist scout car can be positioned there as
a mobile machine gun (good tactic).

Recommended Modes:
Team Deathmatch (SEALs on a team against terrorists also on a team of there own)
Tactical (a Team Deathmatch like mode with more teamwork and so on required).


Good luck with SOCOM: U.S Navy SEALs, and I thank it's creators for making such a great game. It
truly is excellent and the improvement in the later games is marvellous! Keep up the good work,
guys! (and girls too)

I would really like to know why Zipper Interactive or whoever is in charge of the music and cast 
keeps changing it. I noticed in the manuals of 1,2 and 3 that the person who makes the game's 
brilliant and atmospheric is always different. The music of the original SOCOM was awesome (the 
march-type music at the main menu, the almost sad music that really has atmosphere in the Options 
Menu and the very military music played at the briefing of each mission). The music of the second 
SOCOM was really good (composed by another person or people). The music of the trailer (or 
preview as you may call it) was really suspenseful. And for SOCOM 3 (I haven't played Fireteam 
Bravo 1 and 2 or Combined Assault 1 and 2) the music was once again epic- but it didn't really 
fit into the game. It just doesn't have enough suspense in it. The music of SOCOM 3 would be 
really good on a Star Wars game, eh? But it's still better then satisfactory. I noticed it was
composed by different people yet again. Also, I would like to know why the cast (especially the 
female voice at HQ always changes). On SOCOM 1 it is just normal and rather feminine, on the 
second there is not a big difference and on the third it really sounds like a tough military 
woman's voice (I prefer the voice of SOCOM 1, but on SOCOM 3 the female's voice adds so much more 
atmosphere somehow). So I say that they should keep her in HQ for the future games... but if not 
there is always that woman from SOCOM 1 to do it, isn't there?

Note: Cheathappens.com is the best cheat website and it will always be the first one I put my
future walkthroughs on! Everybody submit your walkthroughs to cheathappens.com. You don't need
to register and you don't need to put your real name on it! How cool is that!

I'm just excellent at all this FAQ-writing don't you think? I mean come on... at least I can
spell properly unlike most other FAQ-writers. And it's all very detailed. If you want to know
what else I am writing then just know that for the almost sacred Playstation 2 I have started an 
FAQ on James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire, plan on one for Mission Impossible: Operation Surma, 
almost finished one for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, started one on Command And Conquer: 
Red Alert on Playstation 1 and Syphon Filter 2 on Playstation 1. However I probably won't finish
all this... unless somebody actually wants me to do this because who really cares about the
original Command And Conquer (even though it is an awesome game). I might scrap that (unlikely),
will probably scrap the one for Command And Conquer: Red Alert, perhaps scrap the one on Syphon
Filter 2, will almost definetly scrap the one for 007: Agent Under Fire, probably won't start
the one on Mission Impossible: Operation Surma at all. However I plan on one for Medal Of Honour:
Rising Sun and ah- the big surprise... one for SOCOM 3: U.S Navy SEALs. 

And for computer I have started on one for the original Command And Conquer (a strategy guide
as well and two other technical FAQs for the computer version about how to modify the prices of
things, make your own missions and so on). You need the very old DOS version for it as well.

So yeah, I guess you'll be reading more of my epic work in future... and have fun silently
fighting your way through SOCOM: U.S Navy SEALs.
