THE ULTIMATE

EVOLUTION IN COMBAT

or decades, SEAL teams have been elite U.S fighting forces. Naval Special

Warfare and the SEALs evolved from the necessities of World War II amphibious combat. Before delivering thousands of soldiers onto beaches in landing craft, underwater demolition teams wearing swim masks and fins had to sneak in from the ocean, recon the area and remove hazards, sometimes with high explosives. SEAL teams are small, highly lethal attack squads of stealthy soldiers. By 1962 this method of fighting had a name: Unconventional Warfare, and the SEALs were formed to meet the needs of a new type of combat.

SEALs are exceptionally well-trained, tactically intelligent students of warfare, masters of hand-to-hand combat, and experts with any weapon from knives to heavy machine guns. While a single SEAL is dangerous, an entire fireteam is even more so. When the smoke clears, SEALs are victorious because of teamwork. In a firefight, no terrorist threat is a match for an efficient SEAL fireteam. Each member is trained to protect other team members, never hesitating to act for the good of the mission, and the team, in every combat scenario.

Now you are the commanding officer of a four-man SEAL fireteam. You will deploy on missions to neutralize terrorist threats from South America to Russia. Take on explosive urban firefights, breach hardened defenses, rescue non-combatants or capture terrorist assets. The success of each mission will depend on extreme stealth and the lethal teamwork that marks every SEAL operation.

When you are ready for SEAL warfare online, join up to 15 other players and take sides as a SEAL, Terrorist, or other special operations units. This is the true test of teamwork. Each battlefield will offer even the most seasoned soldier a tactical challenge. The headset will keep you in voice contact with every other teammate so you can adapt your strategy even as the bullets fly.

Terrorism is a threat to freedom all over the world and the unconventional tactics of U.S. Navy SEALs are needed. This is the time. When they picked a fight, they never planned on fighting these guys.

SINGLE PLAYER TEAM

STRUCTURE AND MOVEMENT

The Team you command consists of two elements:

• Specter (You) and Jester are Able Element.

• Wardog and Vandal are Bravo Element. The SEALs in Bravo operate close together and execute your orders as a pair. You can

send them almost anywhere in the op area, giving you flexibility in suppression of enemy forces, ambushes and extraction of personnel.

You can send Jester a short distance from you to execute some orders, but one of his primary jobs is to cover you, so he will never travel too far from your position. If you move away from his position, Jester always joins up with you.

During certain missions, your Bravo Element will be replaced with special forces from other allied countries.
