SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs

Sony Computer Entertainment America

yOnline Mission Types (cont'd)

Extraction: This is a hostage situation. SEALs win by killing all terrorists or escorting at least two hostages to the extraction point. Terrorists win by killing the SEALs. If the terrorists murder a hostage, it counts as a rescued hostage for the SEALs.

Control: This is all about territory and taking control of it. In order to do so, you must be the first team to plant a beacon at each of the control points across the environment. Once a beacon has been planted, it can't be taken away by the enemy, but they also can plant a beacon at each control point. The team that is able to place beacons at all of the control points first, wins.

Convoy: One team must guide a convoy across enemy territory and through a series of checkpoints to a pre-set location. Once there, they will have to pick up some cargo, and then continue through another set of checkpoints to make it out alive. It's up to the opposing team to stop the convoy. If both of the cargo vehicles are destroyed, or all of the convoy team members are killed, the opposing team wins. If at least one of the cargo-loaded vehicles makes it through intact, the convoy team wins.
