Story In SOCOM US Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo 3 you lead your SEAL Fireteam in an action-packed special op hunt for weapons of mass destruction and an ex-KGB agent located in a fictional war-torn former Soviet republic. Alexander Gozorov is a man that does not want to be found, an ex-KGB agent with ties to the Russian Mafia, he has killed everyone we have sent to find him. Gozorov is believed to have information on a major imminent attack against western interests. Time is running out and your 4-man team of US Navy Seals is sent in to track him down. Gameplay As with any tactical shooter, Fireteam Bravo 3 is all about squad-based combat. In single player action the player is in charge of a four-man Navy SEAL team on a clandestine mission in the fictional Balkanized republic of Koratvia. Being that the Seals are interfering in an internal conflict on foreign soil, plausible deniability on the part of the US government is built into the storyline. This affects the way the game is played in that objectives and support, although clear and present, are not as heavily supported be intel, audio communications with superiors or extensive weaponry provided from the beginning of the game as in other games. Instead, briefings are provided through brief cinematics and most of the game's 70+ weapons and items can either be found, taken off enemies or purchased using "Command Equity" points, which as in the previous Fireteam Bravo game, are awarded for objective completion. In the end, what this means is that players will be flying by the seat of your pants more than in previous game releases, but also have more perceived freedom of play. Fireteam Bravo 3 also features a number of new combat features. First, players have more choice in how they command. A full command option, where the precise actions of each member of the team against a common target is available, but they can also defer specific commands to perform coordinated attacks on different targets. The game also features an improved cover system that allows you to target and fire at enemies from behind cover, minimizing the damage that you take. You also have the ability to quick toss grenades, instead of having to focus your trajectory. Finally, Fireteam Bravo 3 also features a regenerating health system, allowing players to regain life if they can survive incoming fire and the visual fogginess that engulfs a wounded fireteam member.. Multiplayer Support and Modes One of the areas where Fireteam Bravo 3 shines is in multiplayer. Players will enjoy 2-16 player wireless multiplayer game support, across eight game maps, both via ad hoc and infrastructure connections. Full four-player co-op is also available, with all the combat tactics available in single player campaign. Push-to-talk mic support is available for squad member communication, as well as replacement AI character availability if a player chooses to drop out of a co-op game. Along with Team Deathmatch and Demolition modes from earlier Fireteam Bravo releases, players also have access to new modes: Tug of War, where teams must hold specific positions to gather points; and Leader, in which a team member designated as leader is moved to a specific location while under enemy fire. The player who takes out this leader becomes the new leader, with his/her teammates taking on the role of protectors as the mode starts over. Customization Fireteam Bravo 3 allows for maximum customization, both in single player and multiplayer modes. In single player you are able to customize your weapons and those of your squad with a variety of accessories, including scopes, silencers and under barrel attachments. In multiplayer, customization is taken even further with the ability to choose from a variety of special forces, including the KSK, Korean 707, Australian SASR, as well as to create specific tags, uniform colors, etc. Player's friends lists from PlayStation Network can also be imported into the game so you know when and where friends are playing.

This review is from: SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 (Video Game)

The single player mode is fun, but it only gives you 8 missions. That is the only problem with this game. The best mode is online play. You can do co-op or you can battle against others. The online play is the part of this game that will keep you playing. Get this game!!!!!!

Good game. The additional 2 team members add to the action. If you liked the game play of the previous SOCOM's you won't be disappointed with the newest version. However SOCOM 3 in my opinion is not as good as 1 and 2 and that is why I gave it 4 stars.
