As we approach the launch of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault, I want to take a moment to share with you one of our new features.
The majority of you are probably very familiar that specific items are unlocked in SOCOM by completing the campaigns on each and every difficulty. Well this method has gone the way of KITTEN (SOCOM veterans may remember this callsign from the Deathblow mission in the original SOCOM).
In SOCOM: Combined Assault, you now unlock items and features, like weapons and music, by earning badges. You earn badges by accomplishing certain tasks, whether it is completing the entire campaign under a specific time or completing a mission with a certain accuracy rating or capturing a certain number of enemies during your career.
There are a total of 32 badges to earn and they can be earned by playing either the single-player or co-operative modes.
This means that you can now decide what badges to go for to unlock the items that you want. Need nine badges to unlock a weapon set? Decide what nine badges you want to earn. Feel a badge may be too difficult to earn right now? Shoot for a badge that’s more achievable to your skill level.
Now you may be asking what are all the badges, but you don’t really want me to spoil everything about the game now do you?
But here is a screenshot of badge screen to whet your appetite:
