AL GIORDINO'S SOCOM ADVANCED TACTICS FAQ

[tallica52]

Nice techniques.

[AL GIORDINO]

I just wanted to let everyone know I updated it today with a new tip and actually added several more over the past week. So if you haven't read it in a while, check out the bottom few techniques and enjoy.

i have a tip to add.

Shoot then Jump:
On guidance while guarding the terrorist spawn. crouch and get behind the wall. When you see an enemy coming look at him still in crouch behind the fence start shooting then hit jump while still shooting. It works great alot of times you will get a headshot.

Extracting VIPs:
put the Vips in the extraction so the bar starts going down then take the vips out until the timer is all the way down. then put them in. Terrorists assume the vips are in the extraction.

Hey, awesome post Al. After reading this, my gameplay has gone up and I'm getting kills more consistently. Thanks.

this is a no brainer tip. when plantin mines in doorways place the mines as close to the wall as possible..most people know this but every now and then youll get some idiot on your team who plants them in the very middle.

Thanks. Sorry this reply is late but what I really meant by that above statement (i just added the word 'instantly' to the FAQ and your post, thanks) is that you can't just read a technique and then go use it perfectly. I think that was in reference to the M14 and holding down the trigger instead of bursting.. well it's exactly that. You can read the tip, and understand how to do it, but reading alone won't make you an expert. You have to practice and practice and practice at pushing down the stick in exactly the right amount to counteract the recoil. Practice is how you really learn and get good at most of the things I describe in the FAQ.

BTW the FAQ was updated today with a new tip (#25 - Get your enemies to kill each other) and I semi redid the "BE A LEADER" tip.

Hey, sometimes mines dont need to kill. Sometimes they need to hold up the other team. Say if you plant a bomb in xroads and the terrorists are coming to defuse it. Plant mines in the middle of the doorways on the upper and lower entrance ways. If they are out of grenades they have to go around the front and if they do have grenades they are more likely to blow it up letting you know they are coming. Also, by putting them in the middle of the door frame, the likelyhood of them lagging over them is reduced IMO greatly because they, like i said, will see them and blow them up or not go near them at all.

^^^^Good tip right there for you AL

I love rebounding flashies of the walls wen in seals on desert glory. wen u r outside the hostage place and there is a guy there i throw bout 3 flashies rebound so they land in front of him then i rush and kill him every time

if u can master the m14 recoil u can get head shots easy cuz if u aim @ there chest and shot the recoil gets a headshot

on x-roads @ terrorist base put the mines in places that no one else puts them cuz then seals don t expect it!! Nice post :P

Real nice. I like these tips. They really help.
