Hop in! I'd like to take this time to welcome you to SOCOM 3. Fire exits are at the front on the left and right, and in the event of an emergency please place on the inflatable life jackets! If at any time you get bored, jump on over to our forums (link on the top left navigation) and talk with fellow gamers!
First of all press O (circle) > fireteam > fire at will.
Now drive to CHARLIE (simply go towards the arrow on the map - which is
basically what most of this game is about). Use R1 to accelerate.
L1 to reverse. Left analogue to control the car. Right analogue to
rotate a camera around the car. Push in the right analogue to reset camera.
An enemy will come from the North-West (yes, long gone are the 3:45
o'clock, tango high - which I think was more useful, you're going to have
to look at the radar to see where they are coming from). Simply drive
around the enemy on the right and circle him so that your team takes him out).
If the guy gets out, run him over!
Same again, someone will come from
the same direction (in front and left of you when travelling towards CHARLIE).
**Bonus objective complete: Defeat enemy vehicles**
(Only required you to kill the people in it).
Keep driving! At around 50 meters you can no longer continue in your
wheels, so get out and go up there. Resist shooting the head you see
above the rocks, or the other guy when you get up there,
these are about to help you save the day! Walk into the
arrow to get a cinematic. **Checkpoint saved**
**Primary Objective Complete: Meet with Resistance**
Run to DELTA (you can follow them or go the other way as the map
tries to make you go - but it makes no difference). Go to the
rock just after DELTA, and pull out your AT-4 (press R2, go down to
AT-4 and press X) . Make sure you're on FIRE AT WILL as it's taken
off again. Watch for a car that will come, get an aim and see if your
team fires a rocket first, if they fire the rocket fine, if not use yours.
Press L1, back to guns, and wait for the two trucks with around 8
terrorists to arrive. If your team blew up the first truck, then
use yours on the truck that comes now (on the right). If not, shoot
and take them down! One or more of them may surrender,
so if you point and your crosshairs go green, go behind that terrorist and restrain
him.
**Primary Objective Complete: Ambush the convoy**
Watch out, more terrorists arriving on wheels from the same direction.
Shoot it until smoke comes out of it for a bonus objective, it's also
advisable to shoot at the people inside (shoot at the windows as it
comes up the road - but don't stand in it's way, and then shoot in the back).
Continue to ECHO. Get in one of the two vehicles (not the runaway
vehicles - as it'll be damaged), and drive to ECHO. When you get
in the vehicle: wait. Don't try and move to your team, as you'll
likely crush one and fail the mission. When you get to ECHO get out,
and hop into the water and swim around to the other side.
Watch out here, because you'll need to do this quickly and with
stealth - else you'll fail to silence the well radio. For this
reason DON'T SHOOT ANYONE just yet. Also, tell your team to HOLD FIRE.
There are 2 terrorists on this far side of the lake, one that walks
in front and around to the right of the fort - and the other on the
platform inside/on top of the fort. Wait until the one on the top of
the fort has moved to the very far left (past the big tree) then
move out to the right, and shoot the guy with your silencer here.
When you're on the far side of the fort look at the stepped
entrance and tell BRAVO > 'Cover target'
If you've been spotted it's too late, and you've got about 12
extra terrorists to take out and will fail to silence
the well radio (I got an A after failing to take out the
radio so don't restart the mission just because of this (unless you want to), it's not
too important if you fail it). For now, whatever the outcome,
get inside the complex.
Leave bravo outside and tell them to cover
target (at the wall) to prevent anyone escaping. The radio you want
is in the left house inside, go in and shoot it before shooting
the terrorist in there (if there), and then shoot the terrorist.
**Secondary Objective complete: Silence well radio**
Now, to take out these guys. Climb up the ladder in the
building (opposite radio) and get on top. Head right and
run around shooting anyone up top, and then below.If you have
failed to silence the well radio, you'll also have excessive
gun fire from the EAST (the way you arrived in the vehicle).
Look at your ammo and if you need a new gun, pick one up - you'll
likely need to run over the body to get the ammo separately.
If you run out of ammo mid-battle, you can use your handgun
which is pretty powerful to take someone out and pick up a gun.
Take shelter in the rock outposts around the top as you run,
and continue to take everyone out. If you haven't secured the well
yet, then look around (in tents and outside) for the
remaining terrorists to kill. For me the last guy was near
the water hiding in the grass, so check there too.
Tell your team to follow, to get Bravo who are waiting
at the back to re-join you. Head SOUTH EAST to get in a
vehicle. Now drive to INDIA.
If you failed to silence the well radio, you'll probably
have a few cars collected here, sometimes there is one or two
terrorists left who may jump out and kill you - so run them
over or shoot them.
Continue to JULIET. At around 200m away from here you'll
turn into a group of terrorists, steer right to run over
a few and the rest should be shot by your gun turret.
Hop out, and go on foot to LIMA (up mountain). When you come to a
Y in the road, go RIGHT (up the small path on the mountain rather than the road)
for a safer approach.
Shoot a guy in front of you through the gate, he's on the
far side of the building in front of you on the left. Don't
go through the gate, head right and shoot a guy through the fence.
Now head in through the gate, point at the radio towers general
direction, press O (circle) and then go to fireteam, and then select
'Clear area' so that they search for other terrorists. In the
mean while you should go left into this building and take
any terrorists out (head around the back). Then move around to the back of the base from the left and see if you can see anyone else.
When the gunfire stops, or they say clear, then press O
(circle) and press fireteam then follow. Go to the tower
(a gap in the fence by the small power building near it).
Go to it, look down, and plant satchel charge .
Head out the way you didn't come in (back entrance - west) , shooting any
terrorists on the way, watch out as the last soldier
may surrender after two or three bullets).
**Checkpoint saved**
**Primary Objective complete: Destroy radio tower** [CT]
Continue down the mountain, and go right. Go to Romeo, and a bit past
that (on foot) and pull out your RPG. A vehicle will approach, RPG it
to blow it up.
Now head back in your vehicle.
Drive to ROMEO, and then to VICTOR. And then to WISKEY... exciting!
As you turn a corner and see a truck come around, do a 180o turn
around and head back, as you've got terrorists behind you, take him out.
Turn back around, blow up the truck (you may want to press right and
get onto the gun turret) continue to WISKEY.
Now, head to X-RAY.
Don't shoot this guy here , another good guy.
