Protect America from enemy forces in urban and rural
warfare throughout the world in SOCOM 3: U.S. NAVY SEALs,

SOCOM 3 builds on the strengths of the multimillion-selling
franchise to firmly establish both single-player and multiplayer
as equally outstanding game experiences. Created in association
with the U.S. Naval Warfare, SOCOM 3 is as close as you can get
to being a Navy SEAL on PlayStation 2.

In addition, multiple save points eliminate having to replay a
failed mission from the beginning, allowing for seamless
progression through the plotline.
For the first time in the SOCOM series, land and water vehicles
play a central role in the gameplay experience. Vehicles are
drivable by both players and AI and cover a range of and
civilian vehicles including turret-equipped pickups and
the SEAL-team configured Humvee and SOC-R Assault Boat.
The innovative new weapon customization system in SOCOM 3 allows
players to use more than 30 different weapons and attachments,
resulting in nearly1,000 different weapon combinations. The new
Team Command Actions (TCA) allows you to quickly give your
teammates context sensitive commands such as move to, breach, and
more, simply by pointing at the location and pressing a single
button. Combined with more complex team and enemy AI behavior,
SOCOM 3 presents a fully immersive and more intense
experience than ever before.
