Does anyone know how to actually get this to work? According to the book you have to sneak up on a hostile and then the option will come up as a special action button but the only one I've been able to see is Rifle Butt. Has anyone actually done this yet in S:CA?
I don't have CA, but if its anything like the other SOCOM games you have to sneak up behind the enemy. The basic rule of thumb I remember learning was basically "if they know you're there then you can't slit their throat".
edit - damnit.

I've slit one guys throat, and it was hard to do. First off, the enemy always turns around right when you get behind them. Anyway, to slit a guys throat I think you have to do it like how you would for picking up an enemies weapon, you have to use the D-Pad until knife kill shows up.

Wow could zipper suck at anything else now(mind you I am a Socomfan)? I'm assuming the guy you killed Ripper was stationary. How are you supposed to slit someone's throat who is moving if you have to go through all of that?
Socom should really have "CQC(unarmed)". Like you would have to hold the quick weapon switch button(L1) to equip unarmed. There would be an additional equipment slot in the armory window:
-Bare: Main: Jab, Hook Stealth: Chokehold, with variances similar
to MGS3 series
-Knife: Main: Slash, Stab Stealth: Knife Kill
-Wire: Main: Jab, Hook Stealth: Strangle
I really hope Socom 4 is revolutionary. What Zipper should be doing is sending out a team to monitor forums such as these to get inspiration b/c no matter what you call it Socom: Combined Assault or Socom 3.5 it really is a $40 map pack. Adding something simple as co op and a handful of new weapons isn't enough to justify a new game.
Look to scroll between the Rifle Butt and Knifle kill when the rifle butt shows up. Cant wait for the day you can silent kill through online mode. I guess the ps2 cant handle that kind of intelligence, or zipper is just lazy.

You guys say it's dumb they turn around when you're behind them... Go outside and have a friend try to sneak up on you in grass. See how close they get before you hear something.
I now know how to do it easily. Go up to a Terrorist on the turret and slit his throat. Don't alarm him and he'll just stand there all hunky dory waiting for your blade.
