About
Socom II - US Navy Seals places you in the role of an elite SEAL commander whose team's orders are simple - strike targets of importance within 12 all-new intense international missions ranging from North Africa and Albania to Brazil and Russia. Players will battle through new terrain and urban environments and can accept no outcome but victory.
As the team commander, players must instruct their team either through voice recognition technology (with a Socom-compatible headset), or via on-screen text options. Authoritative commands control the player's AI team-mates, who respond and follow orders appropriately. Players can also collaborate with international special forces like the British SAS and Russian Spetznaz.
In multiplayer mode, players will again be able to play and communicate online in a competitive environment, using broadband access. In addition to demolition, suppression and hostage rescue, new mission types such as VIP escort and breach are available in the multiplayer mode. Teamwork is crucial, and commands can be communicated through real-time text or voice commands using a Socom-compatible headset.
