Blowing up extraction vehicle...

Speaking of vehicles, I wonder if you can put hostages or VIPs into cars?

Thats only the one map, I forget what its called. Death trap i think. Thats the only one where the extraction vehicle sits there the entire time. The rest of the time it flies or drives in. Excepting DG, of course.

You have to remember that we aren't playing the old maps this time around. We don't even know if we'll be seeing helicopters at extraction points or not.

They usually use a chopper or APC to pick up the SEALS from an extraction, but your right. We dont know. Wait, we do. Watch the previews, you see alot of the chopper flying around, dont you? :( :)

imo blowing stuff up is not good.... you'll get punished if you do...

Thats a good idea! It would be good if the helicopter / truck could fire back too .I dont think it would work tho because the terrorist could have a few guys camp the extraction point then when it comes they would shoot it with a rpg.

So even if they kill the terrorist, they have to extract em? Seams cool. Right now, I hate playing extraction, its just old. Seals camp with VIPs. No one covers you. I would love to play one tactical Foxhunt game though, when we try to extract the VIPs not use them as bate and camp and kill the people that come to kill the VIPs.

the blowing up extraction vehicles is a great idea, but im sure that they wond put it in socom 3 , because its such a specific request that i doubt that they've even thought about it. but great idea anyways !!!

Well, that's part of the idea. If you see the helo coming/going, you can shoot it down. Or at least shoot it up, and kill the people inside. Same with a Hummer or truck. Now if the Seals, will be able to man guns, on the helo(not pilot), then they can shoot back. As well as the Seals still on the ground. It would make it a bit more real. And, I think, more fun. If the helo/truck gets blown up, then the Seals have to find another way out. Or kill all the bad guys.

No, what I meant was that if you want to camp with the VIPs and wait till the timer runs out so you can get a win, you wont be able to do that this game. This time around, if the timer runs out, the SEALs lose. Your only option this time as a SEAL during Escort is to kill the Terrorists or head to extraction. I didn't like hearing this from the game developer in the E3 interview, but maybe they changed it from then.
