And, most importantly, lag was rarely an issue, even in player firefights. All this publication's reviews Read full review. Gaming Age. One of the best games in the crowded squad-based war genre.
It has a few off and online glitches and bugs, but overlooking them there's a ton of authentic and addictive war gaming to be had. With its breathtakingly expansive environments, unparalleled musical mastery and enough gadgetry to make Sam Fisher look about as deadly as Action Man with a broken arm, SOCOM 3 both dazzles and delights.
All this publication's reviews. Game Revolution. SOCOM 3 has the distinction of being the best online offering the system has ever seen. Those without a PS2 network adapter need not enlist, but for the rest this game is practically a tour of duty.
Visually, it's understandable that Zipper had to make some compromises in exchange for the larger levels. As a result, SOCOM 3 looks no better than previous installments to the series and in some areas less so.
Game Informer. Definitely a decent game, but if the franchise doesn't evolve, it runs the risk of losing its crown as the dominant PS2 shooter. Computer Games Magazine. It's like any flat stretch of road in the country, nice and smooth with some decent scenery that gets you where you have to go. User Reviews. Write a Review. Positive: 18 out of Mixed: 3 out of Negative: 4 out of BryanB a. New comers may have a hard time ajusting to online play or even single player Old players of the Socom era Ive been addicted since day one of socom one.
The third is excellent, even though the boyz say I can't drive the jeeps just like a Ive been addicted since day one of socom one. First game I killed myself with grenade. Second game I accidentally stood up from behind cover and immediately got shot in head. These controls will take some getting used to Swapped default rifle for Rambo -sized M60 machine gun.
I hide in tall grass and wait for passersby. Finally I'm getting some kills. Rybicki and j. Davison from Official U. PlayStation Magazine. New strategy for 2-against-i odds: Traded M6o for rifle with less ammo but better accuracy and range, and dropped grenades for claymore mines. Planted mines at doorways and found sniping perch to create "Room of Death.
Stealth, slow movement and scouting ahead are key--this is not your usual run-and-gun first-person shooter.
Computer-controlled teammates often save my bacon but also make stupid mistakes: In the midst of "stealthy" operations, they stand out in the open or, without orders, fire unsilenced machine guns. I adjust by quietly shooting them all in the head at the start of each mission. Hope they get smarter in the final version of the game.
More in full report next month. Over and out. In this, the third installment in the very popular SOCOM series, Zipper Interactive has pulled out all the stops in order to make the most fast paced and exciting online play available for the Playstation. With huge new levels, a full-on arsenal of weapons and now controllable vehicles, Socom 3 is an excellent title.
Too murky looking for its own good, the sluggish visuals is most disappointing. There are seven enemies inside of the well area. There is a NAPF soldier wearing a red head cover walking clockwise around the well. There is another NAPF soldier wearing a red head cover standing in the northwest section of the well.
There is another NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover out of view in the northeast section. There are two NAPF soldiers both wearing a black head cover standing in the southeast area one will be out of view. There is another NAPF soldier patrolling on top of the east wall. The final NAPF soldier patrols on top of the south and southwest walls. Wait for the enemy walking around the well to walk north past the opening and be out of view to the north.
Crawl to the opening and shoot the NAPF soldier in the black head cover standing in the southeast section. The enemy in the red head cover standing in the northwest section will move to investigate the body or crouch in the northwest section. Determine his location and shoot him. The remaining NAPF soldier in the southeast area wearing a black head cover may also move to investigate the dead bodies. If he does, shoot him. The NAPF soldier patrolling on the south wall will retreat to the structure in the southeast corner.
Once the NAPF soldiers in the southeast section are killed, jump off the wall into the area. Go inside to the radio on the table by the east wall. Point the crosshairs at the radio until the Disable Radio special action icon appears. When it does, select it to destroy the radio. If he does, shoot him before being spotted. Climb the ladder in the southwest corner to the roof. When reaching the roof, move north up the stairs until reaching the walkway around the top of the rear west wall.
Get into the prone position and stay close to the west side of the walkway. Crawl south and scan the ground for any remaining NAPF soldiers. Shoot any NAPF soldiers that are on the ground. When all of the enemies on the ground have been eliminated, move south along the walkway until reaching the opening in the wall.
Jump down and move to Able's position. Order Able to Follow and move north and east around the wall until reaching the northeast corner. There is a NAPF soldier in a red head cover on the east wall. Get into the prone position and crawl left east until the enemy is visible. Note: Sometimes the enemy is south of the structure above the door and you will need to crawl until almost reaching the cliff and then slightly south in order to see him. Shoot him before being spotted.
Once the NAPF soldier is dead, move along the east wall to the door. Order Able to Hold Position and get into the prone position. Slowly crawl inside and scan the area for NAPF soldiers sometimes the NAPF soldier in the black head cover from the southeast section will be crouched in the southeast section.

When reaching the roof, move north up the stairs until reaching the walkway around the top of the wall.
Move east along the walkway until reaching the structure in the northeast corner. Get into the prone position and crawl into the structure. Crawl to the door leading to the east wall. The NAPF soldier should be visible in the structure in the southeast corner.
If not, slowly crawl south along the wall until he is visible. Quickly shoot the NAPF soldier before being spotted. Tip: It is easier to use only 1 vehicle so that you do not have to worry about Bravo's vehicle location.
Shortly after the NAV point, the road curves right with a guardrail on the left side of the road. Stop the vehicle by the palm tree on the right and order Fireteam to Hold Position.
Crawl east until reaching the single bush by the side of the road. When reaching the bush, look south. There are two NAPF soldiers by the right side of the road.
One NAPF soldier is standing and the other is crouched. Crawl south along the right side of the road until reaching the bushes. Shoot the NAPF soldier crouched next to the palm tree further south.
Crawl east across the road and then south. When reaching the bush along the left side of the road, order Able to Get Down and continue crawling until reaching the tree. An NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover will be standing along the right side of the road to the south only his head will be visible. There is another NAPF soldier standing along the right side of the road to the southeast. A third NAPF soldier is standing along the left side of the road to the northeast.
Shoot the first NAPF soldier standing on the right side of the road. Crawl southeast and shoot the NAPF soldier on the right side of the road when he is visible. Crawl northeast and shoot the NAPF soldier on the left side of the road when he is visible. Get out of the vehicle. Move around the gate and along the road up the hill until reaching the fork in the path.
Take the left north path and continue moving up the hill along the left side of the road. When reaching the guardrail on the left, get into the prone position and crawl until reaching the small, dark, green bush on the left.
Order Able to Get Down. There are five NAPF soldiers inside of the compound with the radio tower.

There is another NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover walking counterclockwise around the buildings in the south area. There is another NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover standing in the southwest corner of the compound. There is a NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover standing in the right east doorway on the south side of the building in the southeast corner of the compound.
The final NAPF soldier wearing a red head cover is inside of the east building, standing by the north wall and facing west. Watch for the NAPF soldier walking around the compound to stop by the northeast corner of the fence in the center of the compound and then start walking west.
After he is killed, quickly move to the body, pick it up and return to the bush. Drop the body, get into the prone position and order Able to Follow. Crawl east along the road until reaching the light colored, tall grass that is west of the compound gate.
Wait for the walking NAPF soldier to stop by the northeast corner of the fence in the center of the compound. Shoot him before he starts walking west. Shoot him and slowly move south until reaching the building. Slowly move to the south side of the building and through the gate in the fence. Move to the tower and place a satchel charge. Slowly move back to Able's position. Order Able to Follow and move north to the gate and then west along the road. Once Able reaches the gate, a cutscene of the transmitter being destroyed will be seen.
Get into the ASLV in the turret position. A technical pickup will approach from the east along the main road. Shoot the vehicle until it explodes and the NAPF soldiers in it are dead. Move west along the road until reaching the grass at the corner of the cliff. There are two NAPF soldiers hiding in the grass around the cliff corner to the north and are facing west. Quietly move west until the closest NAPF soldier wearing a red head cover can be seen. Locate and shoot the remaining NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover further to the north.
Tip: Since the NAPF soldier will be difficult to spot through the grass, watch for his head movement as he looks back and forth. Once both NAPF soldiers are dead, move southwest across the road to the guardrail and begin moving west along the road.
A Ural troop carrier will appear in the road where it turns right and four NAPF soldiers will get out. One of the NAPF soldiers will crouch near the front of the truck on the driver's side. Another NAPF soldier will crouch near the rear of the truck on the passenger side. The remaining two NAPF soldiers will be on the right side of the road. Equip the AT-4 and shoot the truck. The resulting explosion should kill all of the NAPF soldiers.
Get out and move to XRAY. When XRAY is reached, a cutscene with the resistance leader will be seen and the mission is complete. Follow the path and when it turns north, there are two NAPF soldiers standing on top of the rock to the north who will shortly begin to walk northwest off the rock.
Quickly shoot both of them before they walk away. Move north to the top of the rock where the dead NAPF soldiers were standing. Look northeast and locate the tree on the right side of the river. Point the crosshairs at the ground to the left of the tree and order Bravo to Move To Crosshairs.
Once Bravo is in position, move north. A cutscene will be seen of a helicopter being shot down. Five NAPF soldiers will approach three from the north and two from the southeast and move toward the crash site.
If the NAPF soldiers kill the downed pilot, the objective will be a failure. Once they are killed, order Fireteam to Hold Fire. Move northeast toward the crash site. After crossing the river, order Bravo to Follow. Move west to the cliff and then proceed north. As the second large rock is approached, one of the Fireteam members will make a statement about a machine gun turret.
Crawl north past the rock and look right west. There are two NAPF soldiers by the machine gun turret on top of the cliff to the west and one of them will be manning the turret. Shoot the NAPF soldier manning the turret. Wait and shoot the other NAPF soldier when he moves to and mounts the turret. Point the crosshairs at the ground between the rock and the cliff and order Able to Move To Crosshairs.
Move into the grass by the northeast corner of the rock and get into the prone position. Once Able arrives at his position, order Able to Get Down. Another NAPF soldier sometimes will run to the turret on the east cliff. Shoot the NAPF soldier on the turret if he is there. Once he reaches your location, order Able to Get Down. Move north to the grass by the next tree and get into the prone position.
Crawl north until reaching the edge of the grass. Shoot the solider standing on the riverbank to the northwest. Move back to Able's position.
Move east into the river and follow the river north until it bends to the right. Continue following the river until reaching the small rocks.
Stay on the right side of the river. After passing the rocks, there is an enemy tank to the north. Continue along the river until the rear of the tank is visible. Equip the designator and point it at the tank. When the designator display turns red, push and hold the fire button. A 4-second countdown will be displayed. The fire button must remain held until the counter reaches 0. When this occurs, a missile will be fired from an aircraft and destroy the tank.
Tip: You only need to see enough of the tank to cause the designator display to turn red. Stay as far south as possible to avoid being spotted by the NAPF soldier on the tank's machine gun turret. Once the tank is destroyed, continue following the river along the right side. Shoot him when he stops. Once the NAPF soldier is dead, move to the left side of the river. If the third NAPF soldier on the turret to the southeast was not killed earlier, he will now be manning the turret and should be shot.
Continue following the river until reaching the bridge. There is a machine gun turret on the cliff to the north. There are two NAPF soldiers by the machine gun turret and one of them will be manning the turret.
Once both NAPF soldiers are killed, move south along the river until reaching the riverbank. Move up the riverbank and then move to the bridge at ECHO. Move west off the bridge. Once Able has placed the satchel and cleared the bridge, it will explode. Run southwest along the path. After going around the southwest corner of the wall, run southwest to the top of the large rock overlooking the main gate where NAPF and resistance fighters are engaged in a gun battle.
Shoot the remaining NAPF soldiers. Be careful not to accidentally kill a resistance fighter since this will cause a mission failure. Enter the gate and move to the southwest corner of the courtyard. Slowly crawl north toward the arch, staying next to the wall on the left. After passing the corner of the wall on the left and when almost reaching the dead civilian's body, a NAPF soldier wearing a red head cover will appear and crouch next to the right east side of the second arch.
Crawl right until he is in view and quickly shoot him before being spotted. Another NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover will run and stand on the left west side of the second arch. Another NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover may also run toward the left side of the second arch, although he sometimes will stay inside of the next area. If he runs toward the arch, quickly shoot him before being spotted.
Order Able to Follow and crawl north to the first arch. When reaching the first arch, order Able to Get Down. There are two NAPF soldiers near the stairs to the northeast in the next area, although one of them may retreat east up the stairs and crouch at the end of the next path. Crawl through the first arch until the NAPF solders near the stairs are visible and quickly shoot them before being spotted. Order Able to Follow and Bravo to Regroup. Move through the second arch and proceed northeast toward the stairs.
Note: If the second NAPF soldier wearing a black head cover did not run toward the arch, be careful since he may be standing next to the wall on the west side of the area.

Crawl around the crates and then north towards the arch. There are five NAPF soldiers in the intersection to the north of the arch. Two one in a red head cover and one in a black head cover will be at the far north end of the street. Another NAPF soldier in a red head cover will be to the right of the cart in the intersection.
There is a NAPF soldier in a black head cover out of view on the street to the east of the intersection and another NAPF soldier in a black head cover out of view on the street to the west of the intersection. Shoot the NAPF soldiers as they become visible. Be careful since one or more of the NAPF soldiers may run south toward the arch. Move north until reaching the cart on the right in the intersection.
Point the crosshairs at the door on the gray wall at the northwest end of the street. Order Bravo to Clear Area. Move toward Bravo's location. Also, it is not possible to silently approach these NAPF soldiers since a glitch also allows them to see you through the buildings.
After reaching Bravo's location, proceed west along the street to the civilians. We will not forget this, my American friend. If either civilian is killed or they do make this comment, the objective will be failed and cannot be completed.
Move south to the intersection and then east along the road. Move along the left side of the road until it turns left north. Order Fireteam to Get Down. There is a NAPF soldier standing on the left side of the street where it turns left west again. Get into the prone position and crawl right.

If the NAPF soldier did not see the body, he will be walking up and down the stairs on the right side of the street. There are also two civilians on the left side of the street. Wait until the NAPF soldier moves to the top of the stairs and then turns away. When he does, move around the corner, quickly and silently move to the top of the stairs and shoot him before being spotted. Once the NAPF soldier is dead, approach the civilians and they will run away. If either civilian is killed, the objective will be failed and cannot be completed.
Move west to the stairs and down the first flight. A NAPF soldier patrols along the path to the northwest. Wait until he is walking south toward the area west of the stairs he does not approach the stairs. Move around the corner and shoot him when he begins walking away to the north. If the shot misses, the NAPF soldier may crouch at the end of the north path. If this happens, move along the path until it turns north.
Watch the NAPF soldier and when he is not looking south, move around the corner and shoot him. Follow the path until reaching the area with the warehouse doors.

When reaching the gate, quickly shoot the NAPF soldier standing in the northeast section before being spotted.
One of the NAPF soldiers standing by the turret may move to the body to investigate. Shoot him if he does.
Once the NAPF soldier is killed, get into the prone position and look north. Be sure to have crawled far enough right so that the shot does not hit the corner of the building. Tip: While staying out of view behind the building's corner, watch the NAPF soldier on the turret and when he is looking to the right east , crawl right and shoot him before he looks south.
One or more of the remaining NAPF soldiers will move to the west and sometimes to the east side of the turret.
Continue crawling right and quickly shoot each of them before being spotted. Once the NAPF soldiers near the turret have been shot, slowly crawl northeast across the area, shooting each of the remaining NAPF soldiers as they become visible. Occasionally the NAPF soldier by the crates in the southwest corner will remain at his position.
If this occurs, slowly move west along the south side of the crates and quickly shoot him before being seen. Move northeast across the area to the building in the northeast corner. Move inside of the large open door to the table on the north wall and pick up the ledger. Proceed west until reaching the southeast door of the building.
