SOCOM II has one of the biggest capacities of players in a game than most PS2 Games have and the game play is superior to a lot games. The biggest differ- acne I have seen from other games is the amount of teamwork involved in Playing the game even in single player the game forces you to use your team , But only is 10x better and single player is probably the best single player Around, next to GTA and that's saying a lot. In SOCOM II online you just join a game and play with up to 8 members on each team and with over 22 maps that are completely different. They’re from Single Player, but the only relation is the style of the level for example one map may be in a jungle from a level in single player, but that's where the similarities end because the layout is completely different. Once online you have tons of extra features like clans, friends, downloads, all of which make this game the best online game out there. It's defiantly the best game out there for online play, and all I can say to you if you haven't got it yet is why the hell you don't have it yet. It's a must have kind of game. ============================================================================= === [02] (Getting Online, Headsets, and the HDD)============================= ============================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Online ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before one can get online one must buy the necessary equipment to get only which is pretty cheap considering you can use it for every online game for the PS2. Here’s a list of all the things you'll need to get online followed on how to install them: -PS2 ($180-$200) -SOCOM II disk ($50 new) -Network adapter ($30-$40)(Sony NA only) -Broadband Internet (DSL, Cable, ect.)($30 average, depends on type and company) -Ethernet cord ($15-$50 depending on length) (Cat 5e or Cat 6) -Router (Optional) ($30-$70 depending on company) -Extra Ethernet Cord (Optional) ($15-$50 depending on length)(Cat 5e or Cat 6) Okay you bought your network adapter and now you need to install it to get online okay here just follow these steps to get it installed: 1.Remove expansion bay cover in the back of your PS2. 2.Put network adapter in. 3.Use a coin to tighten the screws to the network adapter. 4.Insert Installation disk in your PS2. 5.Install disc. 6.Insert Ethernet Cord. NOTE: Insert the installation disc into your PS2 for an installation movie. Now how to get your Ethernet connection set up so follow these steps: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- With A Router ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Router is just a way of splitting your Ethernet cord so you can play online and go online at your computer at the same time. The more expensive you router the better your connection will be and the less lag you will get on SOCOM II online. 1.Plug 1 Ethernet cord from your Broadband modem into the modem and the router's IN jack. Much like a VCR a router has an IN jack and usually 4 out jacks. 2.Plug 1 Ethernet cord into your router and the other end into your computer. 3.Install router. 4.Plug 1 Ethernet cord in to your router and the other end into your PS2. 5.Go play SOCOM II online. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Without A Router ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- An established Ethernet connection is also possibly without a router and just with a direct connection between the Broadband modem and the Network Adapter. It results in less lag, but you'll have to switch your Ethernet cord between your computer and your PS2 every time you'll want to go online. Unless of of course you don't have internet on your computer. 1.Connect 1 Ethernet cord between the network adapter and your modem. 2.Go play SOCOM II online. If you need more help go here: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/playstation2_online.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Headsets ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Headsets are not necessary, but they sure do help and make playing SOCOM II online more fun. A lot more fun. Using headsets you will be able to communicate with your team members and make friends and get accepted into clans. They will also help in single as you can give voice commands to your team. You will have a speaker, which will be on 1 ear and a mic extending to in front of your mouth. There are only 3 major headsets for the PS2 computer headsets will not work with the PS2 unless they say different on the package/manual. These headsets however work with both computer and the PS2. The first Headset is the one with the original SOCOM I game/headset package. It has a small ear phone and mic, is rather flimbsy, but is surprisingly the most durable IMO. You can only buy these with the original SOCOM I though. The second headset is the Sony one I personally never had this one, but from what I heard it's pretty small, and is the second most durable. The third headset is the Logitech headset. It has a rather big ear piece and the mic is pretty stiff were it bends, but it's a good mic. People have problems with these breaking, but I haven't had any yet. There’s a piece with a volume control and a mute button that mutes your voice when talking for future games where you don't have to hold a button to talk. Now headsets can be a pain in the neck if they keep breaking or people can't hear you, but here are some tips: *NEVER leave your headset on the ground this is a very good way to break it. *Careful about twisting the bendy part of the big for this increases ware and tear. *Loose wires usually result in loss of hearing people or talking to people or both. *Don't have the mic too close to your mouth or else it distorts the sound and people can hear your breathing. *Don't have it too far away either or else people will not hear your voice. *Check you’re mute if you have one. *Careful not to drop your headset. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE HDD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The HDD is now avaliabale and to enable the downloading of new maps and guns simply go to options and switch HDD from disable to enable and save. Although there are no new maps there supposed to be coming out soon ,but my advice is not to buy the HDD until new maps come out instead of wasting your money unless you like FF. Then, again the HDD also is for NFSU. ============================================================================= === [03] (Making your SOCOM II Name/Account)================================= ============================================================================= Okay your online and you need to make a name in order to play online. Easy. Just go to online in the main menu and login once you connect a screen will come up which looks like this: -Name: Pick a name anything you like, your E-mail adress,your favorite movie, Specter, Jester. Anything you want. -Password: Pick a password for name, your birthdate,birthyear,pet's name, anything you'll remember Save Password: Do you want to save your password so you don't have to enter it every time you log in? Yes, or no. -Hometown: This is optional just enter your hometown. -Gender:Also, optional are you male or female? -Connect: Connect and login to SOCOM II online. You can create up to 3 names and save them to your memory card. If you select save password it will ask which memory card you want to save it to before you login. Then, it will say player name not registered do you want to register? Click Yes. If it does not say that the name is already taken and you will have to think of another name. Be original add numbers the same stuff you do when creating an e-mail adress. There are after all over 900,000+ registered names on SOCOM II online. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Putting Color and Symbols in to your name ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now the fun part to making your name. You can put color and symbols in your name. Say you have Bludshot as your name so you would make your name red or you want a PS2 button symbol in your name like X. I'm not going to tell you what to do with your name just the codes. Colors Now how to input the codes: 1.Insert:"#C" 2.Insert:The rest of the code. 3.Insert:Your name/message (i.e.#C~! Bludshot would be red) Now the codes: #C(space)Message=Blueish Purple #C~!(space)Message=Red #C!!(space)Message=Dark Gray #C1q(space)Message=Green #Czx(space)Message=Yellow #C1Q(space)Message=Light Blue ============================================================================= === [04] (User Agreement Summary)============================================ ============================================================================= Remember that never-ending accept or decline agreement everyone select accept before they read in order to get online? Of course you do. Just thought you might want to know what you’re agreeing to in a nice short bulleted way. So I've painstakingly went though and summarized the agreements major points, but you'd better go though it toughly(*Holds little hope on that*)If you can understand it. -Declining in 1st 30 days results in a refund -Accepted by only people 18+ years old, under 18 must have a guardian accept -No putting product out for rent -No modifying product -Downloading content for anything other than game play -Uses DNAS -Game name may be used on tournament sites w/o permission -Have an alias name for online -No harassing players -No inappropriate language -No advertising commercial products or companies -No game names that are other people's name or companies -No disrupting chat -No false SCEA reports(i.e. reporting someone for cheating that was not) -No breaking laws online -NO CHEATING -90 warranties -People being brought to court will be tried at San Mateo Country California -Agreement may be changed to be more enforceable So who's never broken the agreement they agreed to? ============================================================================= === [05] (Online Menu)======================================================= ============================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Messages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is where the SOCOM II messages are displayed. Sever maintenance news is displayed at the top which usually says the following: "Welcome to SOCOM II Online! SOCOM II standard maintenance window is between 5am and 7am PST, every Monday and Thursday. The SOCOM II servers may not be available at that time." Below however is your wonderful clan's news. Unless you don't have a clan, in that case you won't have clan news, or if your clan leader didn't put any clan news up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Player Ranking ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will show you how you stack up against other players. It’s shows your rank in numbers and the ranks of the people around you.L1 and L2 can be used to scroll the ranking list. Not much more to say. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clan Ranking ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clan ranking is decided on basically 2 things the number of people that are in your clan and their rankings. For example 8 captains are better than 6 ensigns or even 10 ensigns since captains rank a lot higher than ensigns. Again not much more to say. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invitations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check and see if you got that invite from the clan you tried out for yesterday. Accept to join that clan. Hooray you finally have a clan. Without this options what would SOCOM do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Refresh List ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just click this and it searches for the number of people in each briefing room ,and refreshes how many briefing rooms their are. Once a briefing room gets almost full another appears. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options is where customize your personality through taunts,messages,and descriptions. Here is also where you can enable the HDD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option's options ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Player description is first. This is where you can enter a 2 line,no,no wait 1 1/2 line player description. Who knows what this short paragraph can imply on your leader as he checks your stats and sees what you have as a description. I wonder if any one actually writes their description? Messages next, and these are seemingly useless ,but can be useful to communicating to your dead teammates like "I think I'm going to die" or "Vote me if they are in the base" for a more practical use of messages. I personal have my messages as "You have 1 votes against you, you have 2 votes against you" ect.,and then my favorite: "Your account will be terminated in 10 min. "You'd really be surprised at how gullible people can be. Then, come taunts. Taunt your team members as you play. You can customize 5 of your works of art to use against your opponent that are common among all characters, but each character has 5 more taunts created by the programmers that are unique to each and every character. There are a few more options that are pretty self-explanatory like "Teammate Names on/off, but I've covered all the major ones ,but saving the game is a must if you want to keep your taunts and messages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends List ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know this guy that I became friends with on SOCOM and I invited him to my friends list and now I KNOW WHERE HE IS all the time. So the friends system works like this, you join a game and find someone you get along with so you ask to be friends with him and he says yes. So now you invite him to be on your friends list and he accepts. This causes him to be on your friends list ,and you to be on his friends list. Now you both know where each other are all the time and can bond even more. This is also useful for knowing if the people on your clans 2nd roster are on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ignore List ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm like 'LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!' and I put him on my ignore list." The marvels of SOCOM II like automatic muting. Just enter the person's name you want to be on your ignore list ,and he will be muted every time you play on the same team as him/her. Although I must say the chances of you running into a person twice are slim unless of course you both play Fish Hook or something constantly. In that case this this comes in very useful, and if your getting stalked. ============================================================================= === [06] (Briefing Rooms&Servers)============================================ ============================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joining Games ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is where the gaming begins, click briefing rooms and select from one of 11 types of rooms: Ensigns only, Lieutenants only, Lt Commanders only, and Captains only, US East, US Central, US West, Canada East, Canada West, Clan games or E-seals. All of which have at least 5 of their kind especially US East which 45-50 in prime time(10pm-1am).Some rooms is available to people of that rank only which are Ensigns only, Lieutenants only, Lt Commanders only, and Captains only. The rest are available to everyone. The US and Canada ones are for people in those sections of the countries although you could go to west if you lived in East. Clan games are for Clan wars(More on that in section [08] ),and E-seals I'm not really sure what this is for ,but there sure are a lot R^ rooms and GNK rooms. It’s a bad place to be people will start talking about you if you get caught there, no just kidding go there if you want. I heard they really give a challenge in E-seals though. So once you've picked a briefing room it's time to pick a room. There’s plenty of rooms: Breach Medlies,Medlies,Extraction Medlies,Escort Medlies, Demolition Medlies and Suppression Medlies,as well as a game for every map in the game that plays that map over and over again which is a good way to get good at a map. There are also rooms that are created by users at the end of the list that are in alphabetical order. To join a room just pick it and click join game, and then click armory to pick your weapons and click ready, or click switch teams, which needless to say put you on the opposite team. To watch a game click watch game and select a game to watch ,but some games do not allow people to watch. Once you've found the game you want to watch click it and then click ready to become a spectator. Use up and down to change views and left and right to change between players you’re watching. Left and right analog sticks are for controlling the screen freely. The player list shows all the players in the briefing room(256 max) and what game they are in. Refresh list refreshes the list of games and searches for new games just made. If you want to create a game click create game. You will have a large variety of options for your game to choose from. Here’s what they are and what they do: -Game Name: Choose a name for your just like you would for your SOCOM II name. Password: Do you want to have a password for your game, and if so what do you want it to be. -Players: Select the number of players 2,4,6,8,10,12,14, or 16. -Round Count: Select round count 1,3,5,7,9,11. -Round Time: Select round time 4-10 minutes. -Friendly Fire: Select friendly to be on or off. On will allow you to hurt your team. -Equipment: Select the type of equipment no limitations, no bombs, snipers only,pistols only, shotguns only. -Spectators: Do you want to allow people to watch the game? Restore Defualts:Restore options to what they were. -Resprawn: Do you want resprawn on? This will turn round count to 1 and round time to 20 minutes. -Rank Restrictions: What ranks do you want to be allowed in your game. -Clan Options: What team do you want your clan on Terrorist, Seals or either. -Choose Games: What maps do you want your game to have. Then, click square to create the game. ============================================================================= === [07] (Clans&Clan Wars)=================================================== ============================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clans ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clans are one of the funniest parts of SOCOM II. There are basically...teams you join. The clan leader creates the clan and recruits players for the clan. He can hold tryouts in which people will tryout for that clan and if he thinks they are good enough for the clan he sends them an invite and they can either accept or decline it. If they accept the invite they join the clan and the clan button will show who is in the clan and who is on at the time. A clan can have up to 16 players in it and many people make 2nd rosters which is just another clan with a similar name maybe like Bravo clan 2 to allow more in the clan. The leader of the clan can also make a clan tag which is a 3 letter tag that exists before the all the people in that clan's name. For example, [ER]Bravo12 ,and unlike clan names clan tags can be the same as other clan tags ,but that is rare that you'll see someone with a clan tag the same as yours ,but is not in your clan. In order create a clan you must first not be in a clan and select the clan option and enter the clan name and your down providing the clan name isn't already taken in which case you'll have to make a different one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clan Wars ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay you've got a good clan now and your ready for a clan war. Go to Clan Games whatever and make a room called: (Your clan tag)wants #v#.#'s being the number of people in the war in your team. So a game might be like this:[R91]wants 3v3 or [jkl] wants 7v7.Once someone comes you will pick maps. Each clan picks 1 map each ,and both decide the tiebreaker map. Another way to find a clan war is to just look for a room like [iop]wants 5v5 and join it if you have the right amount of players. Game battles is another great way to find clan wars. It’s one of the best SOCOM II sites around. www.gamebattles.com ============================================================================= === [08] (Weapons and Getting Used to Them)================================== ============================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sniping ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is what most people have trouble with, at least from what I heard. This is the art of taking someone out from a long distance. I’d suggest starting out with the .50 cal sniper rifles(M87ELR and M8281A).Practice in resprawn rooms at first and then move into regular games like in Foxhunt and Blizzard at first ,but keep practicing in resprawn from time to time. Aim for the chest for a 1 shot kill ,and use the thermal scope in shadow falls and sandstorm at first, but don't be afraid to use it in other maps if your having trouble with it. Keep this in mind though: You CAN see farther without the Thermal Scope. Once your confident with your sniping skills move on to the M40A1 in Sniper only rooms, and try using the SR-25 and SASR in regular games and resprawn. Finally, when you've mastered the SASR and SR-25 move on to the M40A1 although for terrorist you can use the M40A1 instead of the SASR at first. If you need some expert help try this link: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/socom_ii_sniper.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pistols ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pistols are mostly for snipers and pistol only games. Rarely will you see someone using a pistol because they ran out ammo. Pistols are weak compared to other guns ,but that’s sparing the Desert Eagle which is perhaps the best terrorist gun. Most pistols are single shot and have very little recoil. I find it very strange how some pistols like the Mark 23 and SP-10 can easily take someone down with an assault rifle. Generaly,people aim for the chest with pistols although headshots are obviously preferred there pretty hard to get with some of the less accurate pistols. So aim for the chest with pistols with less than 13 rounds in a mag. If any more rounds the pistols is a bit too weak for chest shots, with the exception of the SP-10, which is extremely powerful for the clip size. That covers most pistols ,but with the DE .50 and Model 18.The DE .50 is very inaccurate so your going to have to aim for the chest ,but it's a 2 shot kill. The model can be full auto so switch to that and aim for the chest at which point you will let the recoil ride up to their head for a headshot. Pistol only rooms and resprawn can really help your pistols skills, and regular games obviously too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assualt Rifles&Rifles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now assault rifles&Rifles might as well combine them there really similar in the game. With these you'll want to aim for the chest, and usually 4-7 bullets depending on the gun will take the other person down. Silanced guns will take a bit longer to kill ,but not much at all. Genrally, you'll want your gun on full auto ,but with the M16A2 there is no full auto. So you'll have to use 3 shot burst. Press the fire button fast and you'll have almost a full auto ,but you'll hear the distinct bursts by far. These guns are really easy to use don't need much explaining to use. There also the most common guns in SOCOM II. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub-Machine Guns ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The forgotten power of SOCOM some say these guns are awful ,but most of the time they never even tried or just started the game. These guns ARE NOT NEW USER FRIENDLY. They are hard to use ,but are really effective. With everything ,but the HK5K you'll have to aim for the upper chest and get a neck or head- shot, which really isn't too hard with their fire rate. Hell, they could beat an IW in cqb if you know how to use them. The HK5K just aim for the chest, and you'll be able to take them down. If you’re a veteran just go right to regular games and use these and you should be O.K. your new to the game don't try and use these just yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Machine Guns ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are what you'll find most new users using when they first start the game. Long clips and almost no reloading and big powerful bullets that take someone down easily if you aim for the chest.M63A and M60E are the 2 machine guns and both sides have both. Try and stop using these and recognize the power of other guns ASAP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grenades ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 grenades:M67,HE,Smoke,and Flashbang. First, 2 are lethal ,and the latter 2 are not. Standing and throwing the grenades make them go the farthest. Remember that the harder you hold the fire button the farther they get thrown. M67 have the biggest spread of the damage ,but the HE has less range and more power. Smoke can provide cover and really messes up thermal scopes, and flash bangs blind people and deafen them for a period of time. Boncing grenades off walls and through doors can prevent exposing yourself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mines ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 2 kinds of mines in the game claymores for SEALs and mines for terrorist. Mines are basic landmines, you step on them you step on them you die and claymores are remotely detonated. Landmines are small and hard to see especially in grass. Call out every mine you place to your team and place them in hard to see places and heavily traveled routes. Claymores are a different story. Place them in tight place and hide. When someone comes by detonate them ,and they'll go flying. There very visible though so someone may throw a grenade to blow them up. They may also be used as a delay tactic. ============================================================================= === [09] (Ranking System)==================================================== ============================================================================= Now comes the part where I explain to you the messed up and complicated ranking system of SOCOM II. It's simple really you win you go you up you lose down, but there's also a lot more to it than that. Although basics may be common sense the details are not. First,the teams come into play. If your on the team with less players your get more points if you win ,but If the other team wins and they have more players they will get less points than a regular win(Even Teams,8v8).Besides the number of players on the team their ranks also come in to effect. For example if 4 ensigns beat 4 captains they'd get a huge amount of points for winning since captains are ranked higher than ensigns, but if the captains won they wouldn’t get many points for winning against ensigns. So keep this in mind: winning GAMES not rounds raises your rank so you'll have to play the whole game until the lobby. The number of rounds you win by also comes in to play. A shut out(6-0) for example would be better than winning by 1(6-5). Who you kill is also ranked. If you killed a Lt Commander and you’re an Ensign you'll get more points than is you killed another ensign. So you'll get more points playing in rooms available to all ranks like US East than playing in a LT Commanders only room. Finally, bonus points also come in to effect when gaining rank. Bonus points are like putting C4 on stuff, calling air strikes, and planting bombs is a big one,ECT. When you get a rating at the end of rounds and games this is not your points ,but a mere rating on how you did. Also, every time you join a game you get 15 or so points taken away and you get it back at the end of the round with the other points you've earned in the game too. Like poker. Now the ranks are as follow from highest to lowest. Rank #Rank Nickname Symbols Percent Admiral 10-Best Player None Silver Star None Captain 50,000-11 Wings Silver Eagle Top 5% Lt Commander 285,000-50,000 Cookie Gold Star Next 25% Lieutenants 850,000-350,000 Chopsticks 2 Silver Bars Next 55% Ensign Worst Player-850,000 Butter Stick 1 Gold Bar Worst 15% Unranked 0 None None None ============================================================================= === [10] (Voting System)===================================================== ============================================================================= Unlike the brutal monarchy of other games SOCOM is a demoacracy. Instead of the host of the game being able to kick people out of the game, SOCOM requires at least 4.8 votes or 60%(8 divided by 60%)of the people on the team to vote against the person assuming there are 8 people on the team. So if there’s ever a cheater or annoying player on your team vote him and most likely the other team members will be happy to do the same. Although votes are also used for some more practical use like telling a player to check his six because there’s an opposing team member trailing him. # of people Votes Percent 8 5 60% 7 4 60% 6 4 60% 5 3 60% 4 3 60% 3 2 66% 2 0 00% 1 0 00% ============================================================================= === [11] (SOCOM II Community)================================================ ============================================================================= The SOCOM II Community is made up of 900,000+ people of all different accents and voices. You’ll find all kinds of people from all over New York, California ,Colorado, Canada all with their own style and rank. You can expect to find people like the people you find in really life even people with disagreeing personalities said in a polite way. So expect the unexpected as you travel in the world of SOCOM II.Welcome to SOCOM II. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Before we start I'd like to thank the Sea Snipers clan and Generator Studios for making their SOCOM II maps for people to use that are included in this FAQ. Please visit their website at; www.seasnipers.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= === [12] (Suppression Maps)================================================== ============================================================================= OK suppression is a basic team deathwatch that includes 6 levels in which you will have to "Surprises" the enemy. No special objectives just you and the other team competing to see whose the better man. Surpression maps are pretty even compared to other game modes or at least IMO. Sometimes the maps may have some neat features to make up for a being a bit plain. These maps are also the only maps you can have resprawn games in. Although non-resprawn is still pretty strategic. Objective: 1.Eliminate other team. Maps: [27]Vigilance [28]Chain Reaction [29]Frostfire [30]Rat's Nest [31]Shadow Falls [32]Abandoned ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [27] (Vigilance) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vigilance is a good sized map with many sniping positions and is set in a Residential area in Albania. Here snipers prosper ,and draws are often. Searching the place for 1 terrorist can be a pain ,but it helps if you know the map. Map at: None Yet SEALs------------------------------------------------------------------------ Route 1: Start off by going left and watch for grenades and in to the canal and out the other side. Watch for terrorist in the top of the building ahead of you and by the turrent,as well as around the corner. Rush across the street once you turn the corner and get in to the building left of you. Clear it out and go down the stairs. Now check the area before going straight around and behind house in front of you. Check the houses as you travel along the path when you get to the stairs got through the building at the end of them and out the other end. Now just go back to your base following the left side of the map clearing out houses as you go along. Route 2: Go the right way and breach the breach when you get to it. Check the house to your left and the other one ahead of that one. Now go along the right side and clear the church when you get to it and jump in the canal. Proceed along the canal and get out when you get the stairs on the right side near the tunnels. Clear out the alleyways between the houses there and then check the rooftops of the houses. Sniper: Sniping spots in this map include church on the left side you breach with C4 ,and the roof right in front of the SEAL sprawn. You may also want to continue along down the main street and get on the rooftops near the middle houses. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Route 1: Start off by placing some mines on the stairs on the left side and go through the building there and jump off the ridge to your right. Go straight across the bridge and then follow the street until it ends and go right all the way to the breach. If it's not already breached wait for SEALs to breach it ,but if no one breaches it soon go in to the building near it and go in the room to your left and jump out the window. Now go to the SEAL spawn watching the corners and checking the buildings. Route 2: Go to the right following the edge of the map and go up the stairs once in the building near the wooden ridge. Go through the other door and dash across the street and in to the ally. Go prone near the turret around the corner and ambush any SEALs you see coming. Then, Jump in to the canal and follow it to the stairs down near the tunnels. Go up the stairs and to the SEAL base clearing out buildings as you go along. Sniper: Here you may want to start out by placing mines on top of the climbable wall near your sprawn. You first should snipe the middle rooftops between the building with 3 windows and the one right of it. You can also snipe in the building with 3 windows. Next you can snipe on the right side in some bushes. Finally you could follow the right side until you get to the street and snipe behind the bicycle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [28] (Chain Reaction) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chain Reaction is set in Russia in a submarine dry docks area. It’s in the shape of a long skinny rectangle and has 4 floors. You can even go in parts of the submarine as well as on top of it. There's really not much to describe except Rushing and Sniping since both sides are identical. Map at: None yet SEALs------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rushing: Go down the ladders for speed and the stairs for safety. Once you down off the roof continues down the catwalks watching the floors below and on top of you. Check any rooms you come across carefully and dash from cover to cover to avoid snipers. As you go down a catwalk make sure there aren't any snipers at the end of it. Once you get to the end of a catwalk go the the other side and clear out another once. Repeat until you've won. Sniper: Sniping from the widows looking down in to the area below isn't a bad idea. Otherwise you could choose to sniper from a catwalk either on it or across. Also try sniping on the oil tanks. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Rushing: Go up the stairs quick before you get sniped and go down a catwalk watching the floors below and on top of you. Check any rooms you come across carefully and dash from cover to cover to avoid snipers. As you go down a catwalk make sure there aren't any snipers at the end of it. Once you get to the end of a catwalk goes the other side and clear out another one. Repeat a until you've won. Sniper: Get up to a high catwalk and take position. Snipe anyone across from the catwalk and down it. You may also want to take up a position to snipe the ladders on the left and right sides of the SEAL side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [29] (Frostfire) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frostfire(aka FF) is a common paintball room ,but we'll talk about that later. Now we talk about Frostfire. It's a very small map and you can rush the enemy in less than 10 seconds so act quick. It’s set on the oil rig from the third mission of SOCOM I. People here may suffer from shell shock often from the grenades exploding everywhere. Be quick into the tunnels now. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/FROSTFIRE2_SS.jpg SEALs------------------------------------------------------------------------ Route 1: OK start off by throwing a few grenades at the terrorist side. Stand and throw trying to get them over the building to the terrorist platform. Now go right to the tankers. Hide in the shadow in prone and see if there are any terrorists around. Most likely there are so throw a few grenades over near the terrorists ,and then rush them with a few teammates try and stay under cover and spread out if there are any grenades. Work your way towards the terrorist Platform. Once you've fought your way there make sure there aren’t any terrorists hiding there. Now go into the doorway to the computer room. Check for mines and use 3rd person to your advantage as you look around corners. Once you've cleared the computer room. Go to the porch thing through the back door. Check the SEAL spawn and proceed to the tunnels. Go down the middle and go through the entrance near the pipe. Go down and go forward to meet a winding maze of corners. Watch for mines and go through it. You may want to place a few claymores if you have them to slow down any terrorists sneaking up on you. Once you come to a split in the road go left to emerge under the terrorist sprawn. Route 2: This time you'll go left. So start going left around the left side of the warehouse. Run from behind box to box as you watch for terrorists going around the corner. Once you reach the corner wait for any grenade throwing to die down ,and get up and clear out the terrorist base. If no ones there go back and check the warehouse before proceeding to the tunnels, but be careful of any mines the terrorists may have placed their or any terrorists hiding behind the boxes. Take the warehouse entrance in to the tunnels ,and watch the corners for terrorists that are ready to ambush you and mines especially near the entrance. Once you get to a split in the tunnels go left and watch yourself around the turns for mines. Once you get to yet another fork in the road go straight this time and work your way to the end watching the corners and mines. You should emerge on the right side. Route 3: This way is a bit more dangerous than the last. Firstly, hide and wait for any grenades to die down near the middle. Rush straight up the middles. Moe down any terrorist and throw a grenade to your left and check the terrorist platform. Afterwards,go down the other side of the terrorist platform and check the right side(SEALs right,T's left).Finally, proceed to check the tunnels. Enter through the right side entrance, and watch for mines and terrorists around the corner. Once you've cleared that go down the hall ,and be ready to face any terrorists jumping out at you. Through grenades around corners and watch for mines. Once you get to the fork in the tunnel go straghit,but check you right too. Now especially watch for mines around corners and throw grenades down the tunnel. Once you've gotten past all the turns and cone to another fork in the road take the right way. Work your way to the end of the tunnel watching mines and terrorists ,and using 3rd person to peek around corners before emerging at the warehouse. Sniper: Yall sure you want to snipe in this map? Really? OK the crane and boxes are your best bets. Snipe the right side for any terrorists emerging from the tunnels and around the right side. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Route 1: Jump right down from the platform and go in to the tunnel. Take the left way and follow the tunnel until you come up on the right side. Watch for SEALs as you get up and rush there base. If you find nothing go around the left side of the warehouse and in to the tunnels. Proceed down and place a mine or 2 around corners. Check the tunnels until you come to a split go forward and then right to emerge out of the tunnels. Route 2: Throw a few grenades towards the SEAL spawn down the middle. Then jump off the platform and dash across to the warehouse. Go in the door ,but watch for SEALs around boxes and traps. After the warehouse, check the SEAL base, and go down the middle entrance to the tunnels. Continue forward when you get a fork in the road ,and then turn go up a ladder to you right further down the tunnel. Once up the ladder check the right side from your vantage point and, then go to check the SEAL base and oil tanks. Route 3: Quickly, jump off the platform and to the right side. Check the corner around the warehouse and go directly in to the tunnels through the nearby entrance. Go forward and kill any SEALs you see. Then, when you come to a split in the road go left and plant a bunch of mines. Now go forward and go left and when you reach another split. You should emerge below your base. Check your base then clear out the right side. Sniper: Yall really really sure yall want to to snipe? OK right from your platform. Watch the left of right sides. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [30] (Rat's Nest) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rat's Nest is a small crammed together map hence the name. It’s set in the 2nd last mission of S1 in a terrorist's base in a cave system in Turkmenistan in the Middle East. Here you'll want to rush most likely rather then snipe. Converted to night since SOCOM I makes this map look a lot cooler. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/RATSNEST2_SS.jpg SEALs------------------------------------------------------------------------ Route 1: Go left following along the wall. Once you get to a part where there are wooden stairs jump down to them and go to the top, and keep going forward, and when you get to where the path is blocked off jump right through the hole ,but watch for mines on the other side and terrorists at the back of the rock ahead. Now you may want to put on your night vision goggles and proceed forward up the hill to your left and to the terrorist spawn watching for mines. Now go right through the terrorist spawn and out the exit on the other side. Now go down and when you can go left or right go left. Go along this cave and when you get to a rock you can climb to a tunnel get on it and clear out the tunnel and and the open area below the end of the tunnel. Route 2: Go right this time and when you get to a fork in the road go right and down to the room with all the boxes, and clear it out. Then go out through the entrance farthest from the bridge and turn left when you get the chance ,but watch for mines now. Work your way up to the terrorist base and check for terrorists. Go out the other end and just follow this along back to your base after taking the box room bridge across. Route 3: Go right and go up the ladder when you come across it. Now check the other end of the bridge ahead of you for terrorists and proceed across. When you get to the other end just follow that path your on to the terrorist base and through it. Now keep following that path and turn right in to the box room and make your way back to the base. Sniper: Another map not too good to snipe at. Find a position overlooking on of the open spaces or across the bridge above the box room. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Route 1: Go left and place a few mines outside the entrance. Now turn right in to the box room when the fork in the road shows up, and clear it out. Now go to the SEAL base through the box room and clear out any SEALs there. Now make your way carefully back to the terrorist spawn taking out any SEALs on the way. Route 2: Go light and when you get to a place where you can jump through a hole in a barrier place a mine there and go across the bridge above the box room and rush the SEAL base, clear it out and make your way back through the caves
backtracking your steps to the terrorist base. Route 3: Go left and turn left this time when the fork in road comes. Go though the and in to the area it circles around when you get to the stairs at the end the tunnel. Clear out that area and go up the other stairs nearby which should put you back at the fork in the road mentioned before. Go left in to the box room clear that out and go down the bridge on the first level of the box room.Then,make your way back to your base. Sniper: Another map not too good to snipe at. Find a position overlooking on of the open spaces or across the bridge above the box room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [31] (Shadow Falls) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shadow Falls is medium or large map depending on your standards ,but it seems very large the first time you play. If you get to know the map it seems smaller. It’s very confusing at first ,but get to know it and you'll do well. It's taken from the 5th mission of SOCOM II in the Brazilian Rainforest (Amazon Rainforest).Using your night vision is a must. Map At: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/RaptorX44/img008.jpg It's just a hand drawn map I made, not exactly accurate, but it does the job for now. Red is underground, Brown is land the darker the higher it is, an Blue is water. SEALs------------------------------------------------------------------------ Route 1: You will be taking left this way. Dash from cover to cover once you pass the SEAL spawn and get up on land around the time you see the first cave entrance ,and put on your NVG so you can see farther and mines stick out a bit more. Make you way up and when you see the tent and bridge look around for any terrorists and mines. Keep going forward and once you've passed the turret throw some grenades down to the tent at the terrorist sprawn.Then go clear out the terrorist sprawn,and head for the caves. Route 2: Get to the SEAL spawn island and north of that should be a entrance to a canyon. Go through ,but watch for mines as you get to the narrow part and beyond. Throw some grenades at mines and just some random ones towards the end of the canyon. Now keep going forward and when you get to the waterfall climb up it to the top and turn left. Go down the ridge carefully step by step before clearing out the terrorist spawn and caves. Route 3: Go right and dash from cover to cover in the water until on the left side you come across a part where you can get out of the water and on to a ridge. Go up the ridge and turn left when you get to a rock. Rush across both bridges and watch for terrorists and mines. When you cross the last bridge rush the terrorist base after any grenade throwing is over.Then,just clear out the caves. Sniper: Here you may want a thermal scope. Find a position on one of the ridges nearby or on a large rock and snipe down one of the canyons. This also helps find mines a lot easier. Terrorist-------------------------------------------------------------------- Route 1: Go left right up the ridges that look like stairs and you should be at a Waterfall. Climb down the waterfall and in to the pond below. Go forward and plant some mines below and rush the terrorist base. Before going back to mine up a cave or two. Route 2: Go straight up the ridge on the right side and place some mines as you go along. Pass the bridge and keep going along the ridge on the left and rush the SEAL base. Backtrack to your base after that. Route 3: Go left right up the stairs and down the waterfall as in route 1.This time go up the ridge you will pass right after the bridge that goes over that canyon. Wait to see if any SEALs go across and ambush any who do before following the bridges to the far left side. Now go in to the water by turning right down the ridge and clear out the SEAL base. Sniper: Here you may want a thermal scope. Find a position on one of the ridges nearby or on a large rock and snipe down one of the canyons. This also helps find mines a lot easier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [32] (Abandoned) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abandoned is set in Thailand from a mission from SOCOM I. It’s been converted to night like Rat's Nest from SOCOM I, and is one of the darkest maps in SOCOM II.Here night vision is a friend and sniping is OK. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/ABANDONED2_SS.jpg Secret Places: 1.Get on top of "The Ridge"(See map) Start off by getting to the "West Platform" and there should be a short wall that's starting to crumble. Jump on top of this and then turn to "The Ridge" and run and jump on it, and your there! SEALs------------------------------------------------------------------------ Route 1: Start off on the right side and when you get to the pond and waterfall look for any terrorist with your night vision and go right in to the cave nearest the waterfall. When you get to the part of the cave where it starts getting to the stone tunnel go forward and not up. When you get to the part where you can go 4 ways turn left and when you get to the window at the end look out to see if you see anyone and turn around. When you get to the 4 way part again go forward and clear out the tunnels there. Route 2: Go Right and watch for terrorists near the pond, but this time go through the cave farthest to the waterfall and you should be in a big area of water. Turn right and climb out of it and then clear out the temple to your left and then the terrorist spawn. Route 3: Go left and up on the stone path. Continue down until you get to the tunnel ,and then throw some grenades down it and proceed through it. Now get on the ridge if you must or go off the platform your on and through the canyon in front of you dashing from cover to cover with you night vision and then clear out the terrorist base when you get to it. Sniper: The first spot is right on the bridge in front of your spawn ,and if not that then goes to the right side and up on "Pond hill to snipe ,but watch for terrorists.Finally,you could go on "the ridge" or right up on the wall to the left of the "SEAL walk." Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Route 1: Go right down the canyon on the right. Throw some grenades on the west platform and then down the tunnel before proceeding down there. Then just Rush the SEAL spawn and the "SEAL walk." Route 2: Go left right in to the temple tunnels and place some mines in there ,but be careful not to mine yourself in! The just go out through a cave and follow the water until you get to a broken bridge. Under it is another tunnel just go through it and you will emerge at the middle of the map. From here just go to the SEAL spawn. Route 3: Go left ,but this time go right the the pond and watch for SEAL and go up the platform you will come across, and down the "SEAL catwalk until you get to the canyon at which point you should clear out your own base of any SEALs. Sniper: Both your spawn point and the temple are good chooses here. You could also use the hill on the left side near your spawn as well as "The Ridge" to snipe out any SEALs. ============================================================================= === [13] (Demolition Maps)=================================================== ============================================================================= Demolition maps are a bit different than suppression maps. Here you just have to plant the bomb in the enemy's base ,and win easy if there were 2 bombs ,but there is only 1 to share between the 2 teams. Get the bomb and plant it in the enemy base. These maps tend to be bigger than suppression maps and less complicated. They are also more even than most maps are. Each map in this category is quite different in it's setting. Objectives: 1.Plant the bomb in the enemy base. 2.Or eliminate the other team. Maps: [34]Blizzard [35]Requiem [36]Crossroads [37]Bittier Jungle [38]The Ruins [39]Night Stalker ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [34] (Blizzard) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blizzard is a rather largish medium sized level. It’s set in Alaska in a well very weak blizzard. If it was an actually blizzard you wouldn't be able to see. So it's more of a snowstorm with fog. There’s some rather roomy outhouses if you have ever been in one. There are some lovely pine trees, a mere 3 buildings: SEAL cabin, Terrorist Building and the bomb house, which is falling apart. There are tons of secret places most people don't know about, and in case this looks familiar it's from mission 2 of SOCOM I. And know on to my favorite level... Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/BLIZZARD2_SS.jpg Secret Places(Look at map for locations):------------------------------------ 1.Getting on K2.Okay first get to the bomb house, and face K2.Go towards it and go along the right edge of it until you can't go any further. Now back up enough for a running jump. Run as close to the edge at possible and jump. You should get up on top of the hill and just run left as soon as you land. May take a while ,but you'll get there. 2.Getting on the Drumstick. As a SEAL take the farthest left route until you get on the hill next to the drumstick(Lions Back).You should see a part that jets out near the end of the hill. Back up as far as you can and run and jump just left to part that jets out. You should make it across the crevice. 3.Getting on Pikes Peak. Get the Bomb house and go to the left or right side of the mountain behind it. Just run and jump up the left or right side and you should make it up there. SEALs------------------------------------------------------------------------ Right: This way can be hectic with all the grenades sometimes so watch out. Travel along the edge of the map near the trees to avoid grenades and cover from snipers if it's late in the round. Keep traveling until you get to the first mountain. If you go on the mountain you have a pretty good shot at the bomb house, but watch your six and grenades. If you choose not to go on the mountain going to the right avoids grenades, but going left gives more cover. Once you get to the end of the mountain pick up the bomb if you have too and continue on. Get on the mountain near the bomb for snipers, but beware you could very well have company up there already. If you’re not going on the mountain continue until you get to a ridge. Travel on the ridge, but stop to recon the area. Once clear continue to the base...(Read Breaching the Terrorist Base) Middle: This way is more open and quicker. Get down from the SEAL spawn and get the small hill with the tree in the middle. Do a quick recon and rush to the bomb house. Throw a few grenades around the sides of the bomb house and climb up the ledge to the left of the bomb house. Get the bomb and go around the mountain in front of you. Take either the left ore right. I suggest the left ,but watch for snipers on the mountain to the front-left of you once you've turned the corner. Continue rushing forward until you get to the base ,but watch the trees for hidden terrorists... Left: This is pretty good cover-wise. Stay near the edge again and once you get to the 2 mountains take the crevice between them and continue, but if your sniping take the left mountain and then jump over to the right one. If not once your out of the crevice go up to the hill in front of you and throw grenades over it and near the edge of the map. Now continue to the left of the hill between the edge of the map and the hill. Watch for grenades and the right of you for snipers. Continue along the edge and go on the next hill in front of you and recon the area before proceeding to the base beyond the wooden fence... Sniper: As a SEAL sniper try the SEAL spawn first. Watch your six as it is very open though. You have a good view of the bomb base, right and left sides. Take out anyone you see or call them out to your team. More along the edge of the SEAL base undercover. You could also try sniping from the mountain on the right of the SEAL side towards the base or along the right side. The left side is also a good spot. Don’t try sniping the left though there's not enough room. Snipe the mountains, bomb house, and right side. Breaching the Terrorist Base: The terrorist base is pretty open.2 ways to get in on the left,1 on the right/front corner, and 1 in the back. Enter any way ,but watch for mines on the 2 left ways. Now pick a stairway to go up. Prefferably some people go up 1 and some on the other. WATCH FOR MINES. Once up check the long metal tube in the middle and WATCH FOR MINES. The, clear the rest of the upper floor and plant the bomb. Have people watch the stairs and roof doors while the counter is going down. Defending SEAL base: Your best bet here is to defend the sides of the mountains and 1 person watching the front. Hide in the trees available to you and wait for the enemy to past you or at least get close to you before firing to take him by surprise. In the event that the bomb is planted throw a grenade throw the cabin window and check the perimeter of the cabin while the grenade goes off. If there is little time don't throw the grenade. Go in to the cabin now and start defusing the bomb. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Right: This side is a great side. Go to the right side and the right hill. Throw grenades near the bomb house and the right side. once the first say 30 or 40 seconds have pasted continue right or pick out the bomb and go back to the right side. Now stay along the edge and continue until you reach 2 mountains go between them and once you emerge watch the top of the SEAL Mountain for snipers and go up the SEAL Mountains right side...(See Breaching SEAL base) Middle: You shouldn't have to worry for the first part of your journey along the middle. Just simply stroll up the mountain near the bomb house. Wait a while to see if there are any grenades ,and if there are wait for them to die down. If not proceed around the left of the mountain and pick up the bomb and just jump off the ledge near the bomb house. Now the pressure builds as you are sniper pray. Zig left and right jump. Or just rush up to the small hill ahead of you and recon you’re left and right. Then, climb up the middle part of the mountain to the SEAL base... Left: I'd say this is my least used path for the Terrorists in Blizzard. Mainly, because of snipers. Watch the SEAL base for Snipers and continue along the top of the ridge. Once near the end of the ridge throw a few grenades to clear out any Seals around the mountain ahead of you. Proceed towards the mountain and watch for any ambushing Seals. Now just stroll up the left side of the SEAL base... Sniper: Now the terrorist snipers have many different spots to choose from. The base is one. Snipe from the terrorist roof or through the windows. Also, The Mountain to the right is a great place to snipe as well as the mountain to the right of the bomb. Another great place is the hill behind the bomb although you may need to move back as the Seals move forward if they hat the bomb. Breaching the SEAL Base: The SEAL base has 3 ways to get in to it. Left and right are the largest and open. The middle is small and has cover from the side of the mountain. The left way just watch out for Seals in the trees and check that outhouse for any Seals that are hiding in there. go to the cabin. Middle check the area around the cabin once up and go to plant the bomb. Right watch for Seals in the trees and go right to the cabin. Watch for claymores in the cabin, and once the bomb is planted watch the cabin from the outside. Defending the Terrorist Base: Generally you'll want to place mines on the stairs dark corners and around corners. Hide up stairs in the tube or near the demolition area. You may also want men around the base in trees and ready to weaken the incoming enemy force. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [35] (Requiem) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requiem is a map set in Russian town ,and a rather nice Russian town compared to some Russian towns. It’s small and is set up as terrorist get one side, the Seals one side and an Island between the 2 with a frozen river around it. It’s actually on of the most even maps. Map at: None Yet Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Right: This way you can start by jumping off any porches you may be on ,and run down to the river. Go around the side of the Island staying behind the snow dunes and watching for snipers, and other rushing terrorists. Once you get to the terrorist side doesn’t go up the stairs and go to the terrorist base. Go through one of the lower doors and watch for mines there and throw grenades in the room and have someone watch your back if possible. Now just have the person with the bomb plants it and protect it until it blows up. Middle: Get down to the river and under the red stone bridge and go through the door under it. Once in watch for any terrorist sneaking up behind you ,and go down the stairs. There are usually terrorists there and you may want to throw some grenades there and get the bomb and go back through you door you came in through. Now just go up to the island and over the bridge to the terrorist side. Go through one of the bottom doors to the terrorist base and watch for mines. Go in and plant the bomb. Left: Go right down the top ally to the left side and in to the frozen river. Follow it to the terrorist side and go up the stairs when you get there. Watch for mines on the stairs and snipers down on the other end of the higher ally. Go through the higher door to the bomb base and throw some mines in the room and the stairs down before the bomb is planted. Sniper: You may want to stay back for this at first by sniping down the ally or to the island on one of the buildings. You also can snipe on the side of the map left or right of the island. Once your team has the bomb move up and snipe the terrorist/SEAL side. Defending the SEAL base: Plant some claymores at the entrances so you know they're there when they blow them up. Then set up positions to defend that door. You may also want to hide around the bomb building so you can get them sooner. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Left: Jump off any porches your on and go down the ally and to the frozen river. Now go dashing from cover to cover to the SEAL side and then approach the SEAL base and enter it from one of the entrances. Just whip grenades in there To clear out any Seals. Then, have the bomb be planted. Middle: Get to the river and under the bridge. You may want to place a mine in the door before you enter and then grenade the bomb area and rush the bomb and get out under the SEAL bridge and then on to the SEAL side. Now go to one of the doors and throw grenades in there and then mine the doors and plant the bomb. Right: Get to the river shore and turn right, and there should be a ridge you can go on. Run across this bridge to the SEAL side and get to their base. Rush through the door and clear the room out of any Seals you see after any grenades are thrown. Have the bomb planted and protect it. Sniper: You may want to stay back for this at first by sniping down the ally or to the island on one of the buildings. You also can snipe on the side of the map left or right of the island. Once your team has the bomb move up and snipe the terrorist/SEAL side. Defending the Terrorist base: Start off by mining the doors and have a mine near the bomb area. Hide behind one of the boxes that is the safest from grenades which is probably right next to the stairs. Then, just wait for the Seals to come. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [36] (Crossroads) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crossroads is another even map. It’s the shape of a square ,and is set in a Algerian City from mission 8 of SOCOM II. It's a large demolition map. The Seals have to protect the Medical Tents and the Terrorists have to protect the Warehouse full of missiles and explosives. There’s almost always a Crossroads full in every room. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/sscrossroads2.jpg Secret Places: 1.Get on top of SEAL medical tents. First, between the 2 tents is a stack of medical boxes. Jump on top of the highest stack of boxes and then just jump on to the tents. 2.Get on top of tent near half-wall. Start off by going on the awning behind the tent ,and then just run and jump on to the tent. May take a few tries ,but it's useful. Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Left: Once you get out of your sprawn go right down the street on the left edge of the map. Once you get to the stairs watch for terrorists coming down the ally with the dumpster. Turn right instead of going down the ally. Then take a left up the stairs and in to the red room or "Nutz Cafe" in the sea snipers map. Watch for mines on the stairs and look down to the ally from the porch. If there's no terrorists move out of the cafe to the cafe deck and jump off it to the terrorist base. Enter through the top left entrance ,and blow up any mines there. You may want to throw a few grenades in there to clear any other terrorists or mines. Then...plant the bomb. Middle: Start off by going out of your base and to the building in the street corner across the street. Go up the stairs to the half-wall. Throw some grenades here and wait for any other grenades to die down. Now climb over and rush the bomb. From here go under the bridge to the terrorist base unless it is blown. If it is go up the stairs to your left ,and jump over the railing to the terrorist base. Go through the bottom left doorway and blow up any mines there, and plant bomb. Right: Once out of the base turn down the street your base is at. Go down the ally and turn left up the stairs, and watch greanades. Go in to the fish market and blow your bridge, and then jump on to the awning and down to the street. Watch for mines and stay on the sidewalk. Check out the terrorist sprawn before going to their base. When there go through the 2 big doorways on the right side. Chuck some grenades in the base and plant the bomb. Sniper: Snipers in this map generally defend their base. Snipe from you base down either of the streets there. You can get a lot of time to hit an opponent down the streets coming towards your base. Defending the SEAL base: First of all you'll want to blow the bridge if it is not already. Then, have a guy hiding around the corner to the alley, and one at the corner near the stairs that lead up to the half-wall, and 1 at the half wall. A few snipers don't hurt either. If it's just you or very few people hide in the tents to your base and around the corners of the archways. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Right: Start off by going down the street to your base and go right to the ally. Watch for grenades here and Seals around the corner. Jump behind the wall across from the dumpster ,and observe the scene in front of you. If there are no Seals go down the street to the SEAL base. Watch for Seals around corners and in the tents. Now just plant the bomb. Middle: Go right now the street on the left, and turn right in the ally next to the fish market. Rush the bomb and bring it in to the fish market and out on to the street you were on before. Then, turn right in to an ally when the street ends and watch for any Seals around corners. Then, just make your way in to their base ,and plant the bomb. Left: Get on to the left street and run down to the end of it, and when you get to the dumpster get behind it and wait for any Seals to come down the ally. When your team gets the bomb goes down the ally and in to the Seals base. Sniper: Snipers in this map generally defend their base. Snipe from you base down either of the streets there. You can get a lot of time to hit an opponent down the streets coming towards your base. Defending the Terrorist base: First, you’ll want to plant some mines. Plant them 1 in each of the entrances and hide behind the boxes in the lower left entrance. Just sit back and wait for the Seals to come. You should be able to tell where they are by the mines they blow up. Also, you can hide in your sprawn point and wait for Seals to pass by. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [37] (Bitter Jungle) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitter Jungle is set on a mission from SOCOM I in the jungles of the Congo which is in Africa. There are even some large bushes, which can practically conceal your whole body. Prepare to see the biggest lag game of your life. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/BITTERJUNGLE2_SS.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Left: Go in to the caves on the left side and stop where it starts to narrow out ,and wait for the grenades to dies down. Then go threw the narrow part and you will emerge on a ridge. Go down the ridge and it will end a little behind the Terrorist base. Watch for terrorists base and go in and plant the bomb ,but watch for mines. Middle: Start off by throwing some grenades ,but wait a while maybe 30 seconds before you go forward dashing from cover to cover behind rocks and get the bomb. Keep going forward ,and when you get to base enter from the right side and watch for terrorists in the bushes and in the back as well as mines in the Terrorist's base. Plant the bomb. Right: Go right and a little ways up the ridge and throw some grenades towards the bomb area and the terrorist base. Now go up the ridge watching for terrorists and grenades. When you get in the caves look around for terrorists before proceeding in to the terrorist base. Sniper: You'll probably want to snipe from on top of a rock here or from one of the caves ,but just watch you back when you sniping. Defending the SEAL base: You'll want some guys in the caves and in the bushes, but hiding in a dark corner in the back of the SEAL area is a good strategy as well as hiding in the SEAL base. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Right: Go right ,but throw some grenades up near the ridge you'll soon be on and the bomb area. Go up the ridge and throw some grenades in the caves when you get to them and go through to the SEAL base and clear it out before having the bomb planted. Middle: Start out by throwing grenades to the bomb area and dash from cover to cover while going to the bomb hut and throw some grenades ahead after you get the bomb. Now continue to the SEAL base and plant the bomb in their bomb base and clear out the area close by it. Left: Run right in to the caves and watch for Seals as you get out on to the ridge kill any rushing Seals or grenades throwing Seals. Now rush the SEAL base ,but watch for Seals in the bushes and Seals around the bomb base. Sniper: You'll probably want to snipe from on top of a rock here or from one of the caves ,but just watch you back when you sniping. Defending the Terrorist base: You'll want to plant some mines in the base or even in one of the bushes nearby. Then, hide in either the caves, bushes or behind the bomb base. Also, you could try to hide in the back of the whole bomb area behind a rock or in prone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [38] (The Ruins) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ruins is THE most even map. As closet to identical to each side as it gets ,and this makes a GREAT paintball map. This is set in Thailand from a mission from SOCOM I and was the one picked for the demo disks for OPM. It's a night map like Abandoned and is medium sized. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/THERUINS2_SS.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Right: Start off by going to the right side and throw some grenades to the other side. Hide while any terrorist grenades die down and go forward. Now once you emerge go left to the base ,but watch for mines in the grass and stairs. Once you get to the base itself watch for mines in the doorways and on the other side of the parts in the wall you can jump over. You may even want to throw grenades in there before planting the bomb. Middle: Jump down off your sprawn and climb up the wall to the temple that the bomb is in. Once on top jump down in to the area with all the water and kill any terrorists jumping down in to the water on the other side ,and grab the bomb and go left in to the tunnels in to the river, and go down the river up the bomb area. Once you get to the base itself watch for mines in the doorways and on the other side of the parts in the wall you can jump over. You may even want to throw grenades in there before planting the bomb. Left: Jump off the platform your on and go up the temple. Run along until you get to the river ,and go on to the walkway above. Go along until you get to the terrorist base and watch for grenades and terrorists as you go down to the bomb spot. Once you get to the base itself watch for mines in the doorways and on the other side of the parts in the wall you can jump over. You may even want to throw grenades in there before planting the bomb. Snipe: You'll want to go on to the temple and snipe from there, but you'll want to snipe on the bridges on the left and right of the temple. Once your teams moving out to plant the bomb go to the terrorist base and snipe. Defending the SEAL base: You'll want people behind the walls in the SEAL bas? ,and some on the walkways to the SEAL base. Some on the "Guard house" might help too. Now just wait for terrorists. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Right: Go on the right walk near you base and work your way down it. You may want to throw some grenades in the river or near the bomb temple. Continue down until you reach the Terrorist bomb base ,and plant the bomb. Middle: Rush right up the stairs to the temple and jump down to get the bomb. Then, rush forward and kill any SEAL near you ,and climb up out of the temple. Now go forward and turn right in to the river ,and up on the walkway and plant the bomb in the SEAL base. Watch for Seals around the walls too. Left: Go to the left side and chuck grenades to the other side and wait for any SEAL grenades to blow up before proceeding down the ally dashing from cover to cover. Now turn right and go down the side of the temple until you get to the river and get up on the walkway and plant the bomb. Sniper: Your first choice is to snipe on one of the buildings near your sprawn or in your base. If not that there's a nice sniping spot on the left side on a hill near your sprawn. Defending the Terrorist base: First plant mines in the doorways and the half-walls. You could also hide near the half-walls instead of planting mines there. You may also want to stay a little farther out on the walkways of behind a building or bush. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [39] (Night Stalker) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Stalker is another map set in the deserts of the Middle East in Turkmenistan from Prison Break from SOCOM I...ah memories didn't that take everyone forever and a year to complete. It’s basically a canyon ,and is a large map set at night. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/NIGHTSTALKER2_SS.jpg Secret places: 1.Get on the top of the bomb house. First get on the lower roof ,and see the higher roof next to you? Just jump up and your on there, but jump in the middle in order to get up. Very easy. Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Left: You'll want to be careful of grenades once you get past the skinny little canyon on the left side near your base ,and dash from rock to rock to avoid snipers further down the path. Once you get to where the rocks end run to the terrorist base jumping so you don't get sniped and go down the stairs near the rock ,and have the bomb planted. Middle: Start out by going to the bushes in the middle of the map on your side right up near the edge of the map ,and wait for grenades. If there are none rush to the bomb house and grab the bomb ,but be careful of grenades on your way out of the house ,and rush the terrorist base and hide behind the boxes in the tent after you plant the bomb. Right: Run to the right side and up the stairs ,and be careful of grenades as you fight your way to the building a head. Hide behind rocks and foliage while making your way forward. Once in the building watch yourself as you exit for terrorists rushing around the corner. Now just go down the right side, watching for mines ,and get the bomb planted when you get to the terrorist base. Sniper: You'll want to snipe either from the left side behind a rock or on top of the ramp ,or on the right side on top of the big mountain near the stairs you can climb up. Defending the SEAL base: You may want to hide behind your tent or in some foliage or behind a rock. Basically you'll want something to hide behind and watch for grenades. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Left: Run to the left and plant some mines as you go up to the higher ground ,and go around the building when you get to it. Wipe out any Seals as you fight your way down to the SEAL side ,and rush the SEAL base after throwing a few grenades in that direction. Middle: Run to the middle of the map and throw some grenades from behind a rock ,and get to the bomb building. Grab the bomb and go out through the way you came in. Run from cover to cover hiding from snipers and once you get to the SEAL base check behind rocks and the tent for Seals before planting the bomb. Right: Run up the stairs and throw some grenades down the right way to keep the Seals at bay down there and get behind the first cover you see and when your about half way down throw some more grenades and check in buildings and rocks for Seals before going the small canyon ahead. Throw grenades to the other side ,and get the bomb planted. Sniper: Your best bet is on the big rock near you tent on the right side, or you could go further down and find a position there to snipe from ,and get some kills although you'll probably be more open there. Defending the Terrorist base: Plant some mines near the entrance to the tent and hide in a nearby building or in some bush and wait for a unsuspecting SEAL to wonder by... ============================================================================= === [14] (Breach Maps)======================================================= ============================================================================= Breach maps I'll say right off the bat are geared to the terrorists ,but the Seals got better weapons. That doesn’t mean there unwinnable for the Seals. I win a lot on the Seals. In fact this is my favorite map type. This is a form of Demolition where the Seals get the bomb and have to plant it in the terrorist base, while the terrorist have to defend their base from SEAL attack. Air strikes are available on these maps. Objectives: Seals: 1.Breach the Terrorist base. 2.Plant the bomb. 3.Or eliminate the terrorists. Terrorists: 1.Eliminate the Seals. 2.Hold the Seals back until time runs out resulted in a terrorist win. Maps: [41]Sujo [42]Enowapi [43]Sandstorm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [41] (Sujo) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sujo is set in the slums of Brazil set in mission 4 in SOCOM II. It’s a good map that is very fun and is one of my favorites. It’s very winnable by both sides, but Seals just takes a little more effort. The grenades are mild compared to some maps and it's at night! Some people don't like night maps ,but It's pretty bright compared to some other night maps. It’s pretty cool looking and even has a few secret spots. Map at: None yet. Secret places: 1.Getting on top of left shacks. As a terrorist go to the left side near the middle breach ,and the broken car. Near the grass on the left side you should see a little mound. Just back up a little ways and run and jump off the top of the mound and you should just get on to the roof of the shack that has the large opening facing you. From here you can jump from roof to roof of all the shacks. 2.Get on the roof of the shack in the middle. First as a terrorist go to the middle of the terrorist side. You should see a large concrete structure with some moss on it. On top is shack. To get on it climb up to the shack and then get to the roof of other shack to the right of it. Stand at the edge of the roof and point your crosshairs at the door of the shack. Run and Jump. It may take a few tries ,but you should get up on top of the shack. Now to get on the other part. Inch a little to the edge and run forward and jump. Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Left: Here is a simple way. Just go down the street until you get to the barred up store. Throw a few grenades over the wall and go back to the left side of the store. Go around the store and over the half wall in the way. Then, go forward not right. Jump down off the ledge after you've check for grenades. You’ll have to move quickly now. Breach both the small wooden and large iron gates. Hide behind the dumpster while your waiting for the C4 to blow and watch for snipers from Foxtrot(The air strike building).Now go through the largest breach and stay against the right side of the frame. Look around the corner and down the street if you see anyone kill them. Now move Up to Foxtrot. Now you have to ways to go. The first way is up foxtrot. Go around to the ladder and watch for mines at the bottom of the ladder. Climb up and stop near the top to check for mines at the top too. Get up and check the bird coop and recon the are in front of the base. Then jump down off the building and go to the shack across the water. Look for mines as you climb up on the dock and breach the base...(Read breaching terrorist base)The second way is to go around Foxtrot. Go around the right side of foxtrot ,and watch for mines around where the street stops and the grass begin. Blow up any mines by throwing a grenade in there and run up to the nearest shack that's right next to foxtort. Lean off the left side of the shack ,and look for mines in the dark area between the shacks. Blow any up ,and do a quick look left and right around the water to check for terrorist's and dash across the water and up on to the dock. Watch for mines and enter...(Read breaching terrorist base) Middle: First off grab the bomb before proceeding. Quick. Run to the first middle breach and throw a few grenades over near the wooden breach all the way down the street. Stand and throw them so they go farther. This should stop any rushing terrorists. Breach the gate and run to the ally to your left. Look for any jumpers/grenades. Then, go all the way down the street up to the building to left of the large wooden breach, and go prone. Wait for any team members to catch up and then pit C4 on the middle breach. Once it's breached throw 2 grenades around the corners and 1 towards the shacks on you right. Then, go down the street on your left and peek around the corner to look for any terrorists and mines. Then rush right down the middle checking your left and right. Hurry up and get in the terrorist base... Right: Call the air strikes ,but wait a while maybe 30,40 seconds. Call the bottom one first though. Now go forward and jump over the fence on the right and go right near the truck once you’re out of the alley. Check around the corner wait for the air strikes to caome. Now go down the street ,but watch the building ahead of you for terrorists. Once all the way down go prone near the corner of the building and wait a couple seconds. If there’s no grenades breach the right breach and go around the corner to your left. Throw some grenades down the ally. Now run and turn left when the ally splits. This is to avoid snipers. Then, go down that ally and turn right when it ends. Go around building, past the broken car and in to the left shacks. Watch for mines around corners and terrorists. Now once you've gotten to the end of the shacks and the start of the water look for snipers in the windows of the terrorist base, and on top of the shack near the right entrance near the water. Throw a grenade near the right side to clear out any mines and go across the right side to the right entrance to the terrorist base... Sniper: Snipers do well on this level. The first position is on the left side. Proceed to the left side and once you go over the half wall turn left and go in to the bushes there to snipe the left side. The second is on top of a roof. Go down the left side and limb up the ladder once you see it. Throw a few grenades all the way to the building that leads up to the billborad. You can snipe hear or jump over the railing to you right and on to the awning. Jump on the top of the concrete wall and on to the building ahead of you. The next position is in the bushes on the right side. Once in the base sniping positions are in the middle shack, right shacks and foxtrot. Snipe the terrorist base and breach it later. Breaching Terrorist Base: This can be a little challanging. Have to groups of 2 or more if possible.1 team enters through the front door. Throw grenades to clear out mines and some more grenades throw the 1 story window. Clear out the first floor and go up the stirs on the left ,but watch for mines. Then throw some grenades in the bomb room and clear it out. The 2 team breaches throw the right door/ramp. Throw some grenades near the ramp to clear out mines and enter. Toss some grenades in the room ahead of you and enter it. Now check the hallway in the next room. Clear out the bomb room after tossing grenades for the mines and plant the bomb. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Protecting the Base: Here you'll want to plant a few mines. Put 2 in the front door, and some on on the stairs and 1 on the floor in between the 2.Then hide behind the wall in the middle of the room or between the wall and the boxes on the other side if the room. Another thing to do is to plant mines near the ramp.1 in front of the shack between the deck and grass,1 next to the little box,1 a little ways on front of the box and 1 in the door off the side a little hidden behind the doorframe. Finally, you could plant mines near the bomb room.2 in the entrance to the hallway,1 in the entrance to the hallway by the stairs and 1 in the farthest entrance to the bomb room. Then, hide in the bomb room. Protecting the Area: The first thing you may want to do is place mines in the right shacks and hide near the right breach. Jump out and kill anyone you see coming through it. Something else you could do is a plant mine all over the deck in front of the base ,and then hide in or near the middle shack that you can get on top of. The third thing you could do is plant mines in the left shacks ,and hide around the corner of the left breach. You could also plant mines in the street that's in the shadow and hide in the sidewalk between the middle breaches. Jump out and kill any one going through either one. Stay away from the corners to avoid grenades though. Sniper: Here you could sniper in the base just snipe through the 2nd and 1st story windows. You could also snipe on the billboard by going to the right middle breach and going up the ladder. Then, go on top of the boxes to get up on the building and jump up over to the billborad. Foxtrot is also a choice. Go prone in the corner that is in the right corner opposite the turret. Lastly, snipe on the left shacks or the shack near the ramp entrance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [42] (Enowapi) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enowapi is a jungle based map with air strikes and set in Brazil from mission 5 of SOCOM II. This is perhaps THE most one-sided map geared to the terrorists although as long as you have teamwork to Seals can wipe the terrorists clean. Mines are easily concealed and so are Seals and Terrorists in brush of this level. Map at: None yet. Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Front Breach: Depending on where you start you may get here quick or slowly. Either way watch for grenades over the breach as you go up the hill ,and throw some over the breach before planting C4 on it. Watch your back for any terrorists that jumped ,and rushes the breach once blown. There may be terrorists in the bushes ahead of you and mines so stay away. Once in the base throw some grenades in the bushes around the base and get to the ramp entrance of the base. Blow up any mines on the wooden area in front of the ramp and in the ramp before going in to the base...(Read breaching terrorist base) Air Strike Breach: First, make sure the air strike is called. Go to the front breach ,but this time keep on going down the canyon to the right of the breach and when you get to the breach above you there should be a ramp near you. Once you find to the left of you go up it ,but watch for mines on it. Once up on the edge of the mountain go through the breach ,and throw some grenades to clear out mines. Now go to the ramp ent?ance ,but watch for mines and enter the base... Bridge Breach: Go the same way as the other too, keep on going past the front breach, but go left of the canyon this time on the ridge. Keep going ,and watch for terrorist that jumped ,and snipers. Once you get to the GL tower go across the bridge watching for mines ,and breach the door. Rush in and check you left before hill to your right ,and checking the bushes ther. Afterwards, go to the near by shack where the ladder to the base is and blow up any mines in the shack and on top of the ladder, and throw a grenade down to the base to blow up mines there. Now cut the power if not already by the switch inside the shack ,and enter the base... Breaching the terrorist base: The base in Enowapi is very unique. For one it's underground ,and it's very, very dark.Unfontunatly,night vision only comes with our pistol, but do not fear or switch! For your eyes can adjust, just stay in the dark for 30 seconds or so and your eyes will adjust. Be sure to have someone watching your back though. There’s 2 ways to breach the base. The first is the ramp way. Once at the bottom of the ramp let your eyes adjust or switch to your pistol for NV if you’re in a hurry. Once that is done. Make your way to the base slowly searching the ground for mines or terrorists. If there are mines it almost certainty means terrorists so clear the area out first before planting the bomb. The second way to enter is through the ladder. Once down do the same thing as before and walk down the hallway. Turn right and plant the bomb. Sniper: Here you’re limited. You may want to watch the front breach or nearby for jumpers or go to the bridge breach and search for snipers. Once in the base search the brush for terrorists if you have thermal before going in to the base... Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Defending the base: Before you plant any mines let your eyes adjust...Now plant mines at the bottom of the ladder, and around it as well as the nearby hallway and wait for Seals. Also, you can plant mines around the corner from the ramp way ,and hide nearby for some Seals to turn the corner. Lastly, you can hide near the bomb ,and plant mines for when the Seals come around. Defending the area: There are 2 areas to defend. The first is the air strike breach and the front breach. Plant some mines near the front breach and some around the air strike breach and then wait. If you hear planes you know the air strike breach is about to be blown so get they’re quick on to the platform nearby. If there's people near the front breach throw some grenades or go around the rock to the right of the breach and jump down to get behind the Seals. The second area is the bridge breach. First you may want to plant mines in the shack where the ladder is and on top of the ladder. Next, hide near to the bridge breach ,and to the right of it or behind some brush to the left and wait for it to be breached and kill any Seals coming through. Sniper: Here you may want to first snipe in the brush to the left of the bridge breach to the GL tower. Plant some mines in the bushes there if you’re leaving and get in one of the towers to snipe if you want after the air strikes are called. You can also snipe the bomb although it will be a long shot from the base. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [43] (Sandstorm) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sandstorm is desert map set at night. It’s a large map although most of the fighting is concentrated in 1/4 of the map. It’s in Algeria although it looks nothing like any of the single player missions, and I only know it's in Algeria because for the terrorist characters. My favorite part of this map is the cool looking thunderstorm in the distance just over the cliffs. This
map is the most even breach map, and the only where terrorist's get air strikes. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/sandstormsss2.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cliff Breach: Start off by going northeast or right from your starting point. Soon you'll get to an open space in front of a dirt road. If you've been having trouble with snipers throw some smoke to camouflage you as you cross. Once across go to the breach and plant C4.Watch for mines as you enter and go up the hill to your direct left and plant C4 on the radio tower ,but be careful of snipers. This will stop the terrorists from calling air strikes as well as get you some points. Now continue down and go down the first ramp you get to and the left to get off the cliffs. Now watch for terrorist as you go to the base and enter the base. Watch fro any ambushes from the left or right though... (Breaching the terrorist base) Middle Breach: Run forward from your base until you reach the terrorist wall. Travel right along it until you get to the middle breach and plant C4.Throw some grenades near it to clear out the area and proceed right to the base, which is very close. Be aware of terrorists though... Left Breach: Go left from your starting point and once you get to the area where you can see the breach be careful of jumpers and grenades. Now put C4 on the gate and rush in. Avoid the bush in case of hidden mines ,and watch for mines before you go up to the base and enter... Sniper: At first you'll want to find yourself a good hill and brush to camp out on and snipe the terrorist base from outside. Once you go in either go to the cliffs and snipe or go right to the base. Breaching the terrorist base: There are 3 entrances; the first is facing the main gate or middle gate. Mines will most likely be placed here so be careful. Once in check the picture taking area to your left and then go forward left and 2 rights to face the stairs. Clear any mines out there and wipe some grenades in to the room at the top of them. Now go up and check six and plant the bomb. The next faces the left breach. Enter check for mines and your left. Go up the stairs, blow up mines, rush the area, and plant the bomb same as before. Finally, the stairs in the back of the building. Check for mines on the stairs and go up them. Once on top enter through the door. Throw mine near the door and in the room to clear out mines. Now turn left ASAP and check the area. Then, plant the bomb. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Defending the base: First, plant some mines in the 2 bottom doors, and then hide either in the picture booth or behind the desk. Now wait for Seals. You could also hide in the upstairs and plant mines on the stairs and upstairs door, as well as the outside stairs. Defending the area: Places to plant mines are in the cliffs or lower cliffs. If not there near any of the breaches and around the area of the base. You can also plant mines behind the "School House.” Afterwards you generally want to hide behind something and throw grenades at recently breached breaches before ambushing any entering Seals. You can jump just don't have too many people jump. Sniper: You can snipe in the cliffs, which is a good spot or any of the breaches. On top of the bomb building is good ,but common. Finally, you have the dome building or "school house." to snipe on. Oh yeah you also have the "barracks" as in the Sea Sniper's map. ============================================================================= === [15] (Extraction Maps)=================================================== ============================================================================= Extraction Maps are based on getting those hostages out of terrorist hands and extracted. Niether side can kill the hostages ,and the Seals must rescue them. Both sides can have hostages follow them ,but the Seals have to lead them to the extraction zone for them to be rescued. There are 3 hostages and if a team kills any one of them it counts against them. Objective: Seals: 1.Rescue Hostages. 2.Or eliminate the terrorists. Terrorists: 1.Eliminate the Seals. Maps: [45]Fish Hook [46]Death Trap [47]Blood Lake [48]Desert Glory ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [45] (Fish Hook) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fish Hook is favorite by the SOCOM II Communtity. You usually can't find an empty one unless the room just started. It’s a bit laggy though with all the grenades. It’s based on 7th mission of SOCOM II. It’s set in a nice Algerian town in Algeria. Seals start on the breach and Terrorists in town with the hostages. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/fishhook_ss.jpg Secret Places: 1.Jump through window. To get in the hostage building easily just shoot the window in the hostage building that faces the beach under the porch. Just jump though. It’s really easy and doesn’t need much effort or tries. Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Right: Start off by running towards the right alley. Watch for grenades on the breach. Run up the stairs and go up to the building ahead and wait for grenades to dies down. Check around the right corner for terrorists and see if there’s any snipers at the end of the ally. and go down the alley. Check corners for terrorists and mines. Once at the final part of the ally at the tunnel throw grenades at the end of the tunnel and some to clear up any mines. Then go out of the tunnel and check you’re left and right. Follow the H's on your radar to of the hostages. Watch for mines around or near them, and tell them to follow you. Take them back down the ally to the beach. Check you back to make sure They’re following, and extract them at the beach. Middle: Start off by going to the area between the 2 beaches and on the mountain. Throw grenades towards the left and middle breaches. Then, go up the wall near the middle breach and climb up it. Look around for terrorists ,and watch for grenades. Put C4 on the middle breach and wait for the C4 to blow. Throw some grenades down the ally and go down it with caution. Then once in side look for the hostages and watch for mines. Once you find them take them down the ally at the middle breach. Then bring them to the beach. Left: This ways a bit grenadaish. Go to the left breach and hurry to avoid grenades. Stick to he mountainside to help avoid grenades more. Now stay under the awning thing and get as close as possible to the left breach without getting out of cover. Wait until there are no more grenades, and dash to the right breach. Breach it and check you’re left and right as you go through it. Throw grenades up on the roof where people can get up. Now find the hostages and take them back through the breach and to the extraction point. Finding the Hostages: Now you’re in the base and need to find in order to extract. There are 3 basic places there hidden. The first is in their original spot in the hostage building. This way is common place for mines so throw a few grenades to blow a ny up. Make your way up the stairs by making a right and a right. Throw a grenade on the stairs if there are any mines, and rush up and kill any terrorists. You may want to throw a few stun grenades if you have any. Grab the hostages once the area is clear and take them to extraction. The second area is at the end of the base. Follow the cobble stone street as far back as it takes you and there should be a turn up ahead. Look for and mines and throw flash bangs if you got'em around the corner. If there are any mines you'll probably want to lure the terrorist out by getting close or try and shoot the mines in case the grenades kill the hostages. If they’re in a straight line just jump over them. The third and final place you'll find the hostages is in the boathouse. Open one of the doors and blow up any mines ad clear the first level before going up the stairs. Watch for mines and clear the second level and take the hostages to extraction. Sniper: First off you may want to snipe any Terrorist's down the beach on top off the SEAL Mountain. Next down by the beach you can snipe anyone one the catwalk and buildings. Finally snipe straight down the alley on the right for any terrorist rushers or snipers. Terrorist-------------------------------------------------------------------- Defending the Hostages: 3 basic spots to hide them the boathouse, the hostage room, and behind the corner. Not that you shouldn’t place them near the breach so C4 kills them all and you win. The first, the boathouse is right across from the hostage building so just take them across there and place some mines near the doors and take them up stairs. Place a mine on the stairs so when you hear the Seals blow it up you know there coming. The second spot is the hostage building. Take the hostages up stairs from where they start and place mines in 4 places; by the 2 doors down stairs one on the stairs and 1 on the doorway upstairs, and wait for the SEALs. Finally, is the corner at the back of the base. Just follow the cobblestone path around the corner and hide the hostages there. Place a few mines on the cobblestone street too. Defending the base: There are 4 places for the Seals to enter. The first is through the tunnel on the left side. Hide around the corner and kill anyone coming down there. The next is the middle breach. There’s not many times the Seals breach hear but place a few mines around the cobblestone around it and go up on the catwalk above it. The next is the breach is the middle one. Place a mine around the corner there and watch the opening left of the alley that leads in to the breach. Finally, the last breach at the right. Place mines around it and go around the corner and wait for someone to breach. Sniper: Here you best spot is on top of the Boathouse and snipe the alley. You may also want to try sniping on the catwalk right down the middle and the beach if you can. Lastly you can try rushing down near the breach and snipe Seals on the mountain near there start and on the beach. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [46] (Death Trap) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Death Trap is an extraction map where the terrorists must keep the hostages away from the Seals using everything they can include the big bunker complex they start in. The Seals start inside the bunker ,and have to breach the bunker in order the extraxtion. Set in the Congo jungles from mission 9 of SOCOM II this mission is fun, and unquiet. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/DEATHTRAP2_SS.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ally Breach: Right from your start go right and down the mountain after watching for terrorists on top of the mountain. Now go down to "box ally" ,and throw grenades to the other end-running from box to box to get closer. Once at the gate breach it if it's closed, and watch your left for terrorists and for mines. Now continue forward ,and do a quick check of the area near you and go down the big ramp. Now this room is dark so you may want to put on your night vision ,and watch for mines hidden around corners. Once you in the hostage room grab the hostages ,and take them to extraction through the way you came. Main Gate Breach: This time go left from the extraction point ,and down the hill to the main gate watching for terrorists from the left side. Place C4 on the gate and once in check the room to you right, and then go back and down the hallway. Turn left down the hallway ,and once you emerge in the room with the big ramp goes down it and makes your way to the hostage room watching for mines ,and extract the hostages back though the way you came. Left: Go left from the extraction, and to the big hill on the left side. There will be an entrance on the right side so go in it ,and clear out the area in front of you before going left down the ramp. Watch for mines and terrorists around corners ,and once your at the bottom fight you way through the hallway with the boxes ,and you will be in a dark room. Turn right with your night vision on to spot mines ,and go to the hostage room ,and take the hostages to extraction back through the way you came. Sniper: Here you have few choices. You can snipe to the right side down the box ally ,or on the left side sniping the area between the middle and left entrances. Finally, you can snipe on the big hill on the left. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Defending the area: The first entrance can easily be defended with some mines around it ,and a terrorist hiding around the corner ,or outside the base. The middle gate can be defended with mines and people hiding around corners of the hallways nearby. Finally, the left side is defended with mines on the long ramp going down, and the box alley. Then, you can hide at the end of the hallway. You may also want to hide in the hostage room and wait for Seals. Sniper: You’re probably going to have to get to a turret opening and snipe from there ,and use the turrets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [47] (Blood Lake) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blood Lake is a big lake ,and set in the Congo from SOCOM I mission 8.Here you'll be surrounded by fog in lake ,and mostly everywhere there is water. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/BLOODLAKE2_SS.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Left: Start off by going left ,and watching for terrorists in the distance who will be hard to see ,and throw some grenades once you get to the tower ok? Now go forward ,and go through "Hostage Pass”, and grab the hostages and take them for extract. Middle: Go right in to the lake running from rock to rock ,and watch for snipers. Throw grenades at shadowy figures on the other side ,and shoot terrorists close by. Then, rush forward to the shore and make you way past the tents ,and to the hostage house ,and extract them. Right: Once your going right watch the lake for terrorists, and once your at the tower through some grenades towards the tents. Now go to the hostage house ,and tell the hostages to follow. Now extract them. Sniper: You can snipe from the "SEAL hill" on the right side ,or find a hill on left to snipe from. The extraction point is also good ,and the tower in the middle of the lake as well as in the lake. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Defending the area: You'll want people to watch the "Hostage pass" ,and on the mountain next to it. People on the hill also may help as well as hiding in the nearby tents for cover. If you’re going in to the lake don't go too far ,and wait for Seals to pass by kill them stealthly. Left or right just rush to get any Seals ,and plant some mines. Sniper: The 2 mountains near your base is your best chance although any of the towers can be useful too. If you really want you could try getting on a rock or something to snipe from. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [48] (Desert Glory) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Desert Glory is a desert map set in a Turkmenistan town ,and is set at day from mission 12 the last mission of SOCOM I.I actually completed that mission by accident while I rush running around shooting everything not expecting to win. Anyway, this mission is medium-small sized ,and many people like it. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/DESERTGLORY2_SS.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Left: You'll want to wait 40 or so seconds because of grenades here. Go prone in the little canyon on the left, which will really help, lower you profile ,and break it up so it's hard to see you. Now proceed down ,and once you get out run up to the run down building to you’re right and look around for terrorists. Now go quickly across the empty area to the tunnel that leads in to the hostage building ,and go up the stairs. Be careful of mines and go out the door in front of you and turn right in to the hostage building. Now throw some smoke or flash bangs in to the room and free the prisoners. Take them out of the room and to extraction near the truck. Middle: Start out by going right down the middle, but turn in to the building to your left ,and wait for grenades of any kind to pass. Once the grenades are gone go out and go to the left side up to the wooden deck in front of the hostage building. Climb up on it and go up the stairs and in to the hostage building. Now grab the hostages ,and take them to extract. Right: Go right in to the first building you come across. Go to the top of it ,and throw grenades towards the terrorists. Now jump down off the building and go check the run down building in front of you and get to the garage in front of that. Now go around the left side of the garage and between the buildings ,and the rock nearby. Now go around the building ,and in to the hostage building. Put C4 on the crack on the wall as a diversion ,and go out the door behind you to get to the hostage room through the other way. Get the hostages ,and go the extract them. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Defending the Hostages: Here you'll want no mines in case the Seals run the hostages over them. You can stay right in the prison and use the hostages as shields or go outside the prison ,and rush the Seals. You may want to hide at the entrances to the hostage building and fend off the Seals or hide in other places around the map to stop Seals around there. Throw grenades towards the SEAL side at the start too. Sniper: You can snipe on top of the hostage building for a start ,but there's no cover. The garage at the back of the map is a good place to snipe(On top of it).Also, you can snipe on the ground in an open space as well.Finally,you can snipe in the middle building or "Hotel." ============================================================================= === [16] (Escort Maps)======================================================= ============================================================================= Escort maps are like Extraction in that they both have civilians ,but this time their VIPs. The terrorists must kill the VIPs and the Seals must rescue them. Most of these maps are very large maps. Most. Objectives: Seals: 1.Extract VIPs. 2.Eliminate the terrorists. Terrorists: 1.Eliminate the VIPs. 2.Eliminate the Seals Maps: [50]The Mixer [51]Foxhunt [52]Guidance ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [50] (The Mixer) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mixer is a map set in an abandoned Albanian Factory from mission 2 of SOCOM II. It’s a small map where the Seals have 2 extraction points ,and must get the VIPs there without them getting killed, but why would VIPs go to an abandoned factory? Map at: http://www.seasnipers.net/SSthemixerv7.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Extraction 1: Take the VIPs and go past the train tacks and stay close to the wall ,but don't go up the stairs. Keep close to the walls. Go along until you get to a second set of stairs. Don’t go up them either just keeps to the wall ,and go under the walkway above and turn left when you get to it. Now go the extraction ,and extract the VIPs. Extraction 2: Take the VIPs ,and go up the stairs to your right. Now face the "High Extraction" and go forward ,and between the warehouse ,and wall ahead. Now go between the 2 buildings ,and watch for mines and terrorists. Go up the stairs ahead of you and turn right and then left to get to the extraction ,and save the VIPs. Sniper: Just follow the VIPs and watch for other snipers as you travel with your team, and keep them safe. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Left: Go right out the right door from your sprawn, and go between the 2 buildings as before in the SEAL stragity. Place some mines here if you want and go to the end of the alley and wait for the VIPs. Right: Go out the other door of your sprawn this time ,and go down the stairs, and your sprawn building. Turn right to the extraction. Place some mines and hide out at the extraction as you wait for the Seals. Sniper: Your probably want to snipe from your base roof or from one of the walkways nearby your base's roof. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [51] (Foxhunt) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foxhunt is a map set in the Albania countryside from parts of the first mission of SOCOM II, and has 2 extraction points. A rising star of a map in SOCOM II.A good map to start sniping on. Map at: http://www.generatorstudios.com/ss/foxhunt5.jpg Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Extraction 1: Grab the VIPs ,and head straight down the middle. It would be wise to have a sniper with right now, and continue past the building with the pool of water and the church. Now go up the mountain ahead and watch for snipers to your left. Now get on the road ahead, and watch fro mines as you approach the extraction. Once you got the VIPs in the extraction be careful of terrorists that are sure to come. Extraction 2: Get the VIPs and take them to the river. Go along river until you get to the cave ,and put the hostages there while you scan for snipers. Now keep going back down the river and go up the bank on your left. Take the VIPs to the extraction ,and protect them as you wait for the extraction to come. Sniper: Your best bet here is to pick one of the hills nearby and go prone in the brush and snipe any enemy nearby. Alternate Stragity from:Dustin Mitchum,T.H.E. Rock & FMJ clan; "I can say we have never lost more than 2 rounds in a clan war using this strategy on this map, It only works if you work as a team. Everyone has to stay "back" (generally no one past the turrett or the first broken wall on the right side of seal hill. Strategically placed members of a team: generally 1 on the turrett, 1 on the riverside of the crack, 1 on each side of the "birdbath", 1 on the back of seal hill, and 1 person in the seal spawn will do the trick, the remaining members can kind of serve as rovers to help out when need be." Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Left: Get to the left side rush right down the open space in front of you. Moe down Seals and VIPs alike and run all the way to the SEAL sprawn. You don't have to worry about snipers here. Middle: Go right to middle ,but take a sniper along to get any other snipers on other hills. Make your way to the SEAL base keeping your eyes peeled for VIPs ahead. Watch for shapes moving in the grass since half of the bottom will be covered behind the grass. Right: A sniper can also be useful here. Go down the river ,and watch for snipers as you make your way down. There will be no cover in the river if a firefight breaks out so be careful. Once your reach the turret without seeing any VIPs they most likely snuck around you so go back. Sniper: Your best bet here is to pick one of the hills nearby and go prone in the brush and snipe any enemy nearby. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [52] (Guidance) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guidance is a map from mission 10 or 11 of SOCOM II set in the snowy and icy hills of Russia. There’s only 1 extraction in this map unlike other escort maps. Map at: None yet. Seals------------------------------------------------------------------------ Extraction: Take the VIPs and get them out of their ASAP. They are very valuable to grenades. Make your way around the hills, and buildings clearing them out as you go along the. Once you get to extraction use C4 to blow gate open to get to the extraction zone. Sniper: Trail a little ways behind your team watching for snipers. Follow them to extract as they progress along to extraction. Terrorists------------------------------------------------------------------- Killing VIPs: Spread out and move your way forward. Fast. Throw grenades to the Seals ,and rush them. Make sure you got the whole map cover so the VIPs can't escape. Sniper: Travel with your team sniping Seals and VIPs ,but be careful of grenades and Seals. ============================================================================= === [17] (Mini-Games)======================================================== ============================================================================= Mini games are not exactly games that came with SOCOM II Online.

A. Well either you missed most of the time or he was lagging. He could have been glitching, but thankfully there's a patch now since September 9th 2004. Q.I don't have a rank help! A. Either your game didn't connect or load right, just restart your PS2 ,or your just started a new name. In this case you will have to play a game before you get a rank. Q. How do unlock the locked characters & Weapons? A. You have to play through single player first. Go to "Extras" at the main menu ,and it will tell you what difficulty you need to unlock each character. Completing the game on Lt Commander will unlock most characters.
