Hint: Mission 2:
At the beginning, tell your men to hold their position and go to the right, up the hill. Stay to the left side of the hill while ascending it. You will see an enemy fairly soon in the mission. Quietly and carefully snipe him. There will be another one very shortly after the one you just killed. Continue on the cliff and you will reach a drop off to another cliff. Jump down. Walk slowly to the edge or close to it until you can see the small cabin. Snipe the man standing outside quickly with one or two shots. Then, tell your men to regroup after you jump down from the cliff and go to the cabin. There will be one or two men inside -- kill them quickly. Keep moving north -- that is where all the action is located.

Objective 1: You will find the Intel in the big place with the bridge-type object on the third floor. It is in the laptop.

Objective 2: The weapon caches are the boxes stacked on top of each other. Put C4 on those and that will do the job.

Objective 3: As one of the secondary objectives, blow up the generator with C4 as well.

Hint: Mission 2: Funny comment:
Plant C4 on the outside of the bathroom. After it explodes, one of your men will sometimes say something funny.

Hint: Mission 3:
When you start, tell your men to hold there positions. Walk straight ahead and you will see a small path. Follow it and quietly sneak up behind the enemy. You will get a choice to stab him. Press Circle and he will die. Run back to the other side, where you first started. Sneak up into the weeds and prone down. You will see two more guards walking. You can snipe them from where you are located. Proceed forward quietly and you will see two more guards you can snipe without getting too close. Next, tell Bravo to stealth to the little shack. Go thorough the water and proceed up the hill. You will see a small hill with a tree and bushes. Go up that hill and prone down. You can now snipe the last guard. Then, run to Charlie and go up the hill to left where the wall is located. You will see something like a hallway. Go through there quietly and come around the corner. Walk up to the guard and kill him with a knife. Proceed to other side where you first came out and do the same thing to other guard. Then, tell your team to regroup and you can clear the area. Note: Two guards are on the top of the wall -- be patient.

An easy way to get past the first part of the mission, if you do not care about the first secondary objective, is to just say "Support sweep" into the headset. A chopper will appear, shooting and smoking all enemies except for the sniper in the shack northwest of the first shack in front of you.

Hint: Snipers on large maps:
On large maps with a lot of places that could hide snipers (such as the Rescue POWs mission), give Boomer and Specter sniper rifles. The have a great chance of seeing something you do not, and killing it before you can find it.

Hint: Easy kills:
Arm Boomer and Specter with a high power rifle and keep saying "Bravo snipe", or yell into headset and say "Team low profile". It will take a long time, but Bravo will kill all the terrorists in the mission.

Hint: Injuries:
If you or Boomer are injured, have Bravo lead the way, especially with a hostage. This allows you to make sure the hostage does not get shot and you do not lose Boomer or yourself.

Hint: Using headset with PC:
You can plug your SOCOM headset into the USB port on a PC for instant access to headphones or a microphone.

Glitch: Ammunition discrepancy:
In any level, if you are running out of ammunition on any gun, drop the gun you have and pick up a different one. When you pick your gun back up, you will have the same number magazines, but the ammo inside the magazine will be restored. For example, if you have a gun with 2/30 5 mags, drop it. Pick it up and it now has 30/30 5 mags.

Glitch: Suicidal team:
On mission 3, make sure that Bravo team has some Frag Grenades. When you start the mission, walk forward slightly, then turn around. You will notice Bravo team holding their positions. Give the command "Bravo Team, commit suicide" and they will reply with "Yes sir" or "Ho-wa!". Then, they will throw a grenade and kill themselves. This trick works on some missions, but not all of them.
