II. Intro:
Hello.  SOCOM is the most addicting game ever made.  If you don’t have it, go
get it!!!!!!!  Single player is OK. but this FAQ is about The Multiplayer.  The
whole reason to get this game.  I will Explain how to get to the hard to reach
places.  I have discovered some of these my self but most I have found while
playing with other people.  These secret spots are great because normally no
one will expect you to be there.  I use these every day and they hardly ever
fail.  It would be a good Idea to try these in glitch rooms where no body kills
you before actually using them in a real game. NO THESE ARE NOT GLITHCES BUT
IT IS JUST A GOOD IDEA TO TEST THEM OUT TO SEE HOW HARD THEY ARE BEFORE
ACTUALLY DOING THEM IN A REAL GAME AND RISK GETTING KILLED. My name on the game
is (x_x)BLACK CAT and I am in clan Road Kill and I play in eu east.  If you
ever see me playin tell me that you have seen the FAQ.  I would like to know
how many people have seen the FAQ.  BTW all the ratings
are based on 0-5.

III. Sea Snipers Maps
The Sea Snipers is a clan that is very devoted to the game.  The clan leader
owns a company named Generator Studios and Is very good at Image designing.  I
will refer to their maps frequently in this FAQ so it would be a good Idea to
go check out their maps.  They have devoted many hours and lots of money into
each and every map which will be easy to see when you check one out.  I have no
relation at all in the creation of these maps.  I suggest donating to the sea
snipers so that they can get out all of the maps.  I would donate but I am only
fourteen, broke and I don’t have a credit card so I have no way of giving them
the money.  I would give 20 bucks if I could but my parents already think that
I am crazy for playing SOCOM so much and I think that they would put me in a
Crazies facility if I told them that I had to donate money to some random
website. Sorry Sea Snipers.  www.generatorstudios.com/ss is the site address.
Go to briefing and then tactical.  All of the maps should be there.  If the
maps are too small to read then put your cursor on the lower right hand corner
and an icon should pop up.  Click on it and the map will magically expand.
Once again I will refer to these maps a lot so don’t Email me asking me what I
am talking about when I say K2 or something like that.

IV.
A. Abandoned
1.Nonsuicidal jump from west platform(must see)
Difficulty rating: 2   Possible Death Rating: 4
When you start out as a terrorist run down the valley on the right side.  You
encounter a ramp.  Jump or climb on top of it and run to the top.  A tunnel is
right in front of you.  Lots of times seals will be throwing grenades through
the tunnel.  This helps a lot with this scenario taking place.  If you look to
your left you will see a drop that is normally fatal if jumped off of.  Well
if you jump while running at the left corner towards the seal base then you can
slide down the side of the hill.  This enables you to go and sneak behind the
seals and kill them.  It is very useful because you don’t have to run down the
middle and risk getting shot in an open area and you can still sneak behind the
tunnel.

2.Get on top of the Ridge
Difficulty rating: 3   Possible death rating: 4
Follow the directions to get to the West platform except when you get there
face north instead of south.  You should see that there is a wall that prevents
you from running off of the side of the mountain.  What you are going to have
to do is get on top of that wall.  Run semi diagonally at where the ridge
begins and then jump so that you get on top of the wall and next to the ridge.
Then once you get on the wall back up and run strait at the ridge and jump so
you land on top.  Once you get up there you can run for about 3/4 of the ridge
before it stops.

3.Drop in to MNT. Window(must see)
Difficulty rating: 3   Possible death rating: 3
This is probably one of the most useful things in this FAQ.  This is very
difficult when you first try it but once you get the hang of it, it is the
easiest thing ever.  Start off by getting on top of the cave or pond hill what
ever you want to call it.  Any who all you do is go on the mountain above it
(the mountain is inbetween the watterfall and the broken bridge kinda) and walk
on the mountain until you get to the very end and on the right side. Walk
sideways with your gun pointed toward the Pagoda. It isv ery imporatant that
you keep yourcross hairs pointed away form the window. Walk slowly off the side
and pull back on the analog stick and you should enter the window backwards.
It works really well when someone is campin there with a claymore.  Plant them
there own claymore give em a taunt and detonate it.

B. The Ruins
1.Get to a ledge near terrorist base
Start out by running out of the terrorist starting spot and take a right.  You
should see the spot where the seals can bomb the terrorist (terrorist base).
Take another right and you should be between the terrorist spawn point and the
terrorist base.  If you look to your right one more time you should see a wall
that you can climb.  Climb up that and turn right(haha four rights) and walk
across the ledge until you reach the end.  On the left side you should see
another ledge that is very skinny.  Get on to that by walking off the ledge.
Walk on that ledge until you reach the end of that.  Take a left on the ledge
and travel about one foot and then go on the ledge to your right.  Congrats
that one was a tuffy.  I found this one not to long ago so not to many people
know about it.  You can also jump to you left and get to the other ledge but it
is pretty much the same thing.

2.Jump to ruin from sniper spot
Difficulty rating: 2   Possible death rating: 4
If you are starting off as a seal then jump off the big cliff and keep on going
strait.  Another ledge should be right in front of you.  Climb up it and about
ten feet in front of you should be a collapsed pillar.  Run up it and climb up
the very end of it. You are now in the sniper spot.  If you look towards the
opening you should see a ruin.  Align yourself up with the ruin and and jump to
it. This spot is much better as a seal because you really blend in.

C. Blizzard
1.Get on top of K2(must see)
Difficulty rating: 4   Possible death rating: 2
This is one of the most useful secrets in the game.  Run to the bomb house and
when you get there veer to your right until you get to the hill.   You should
see a fork in the path.  Keep on going right and you will get to a spot where
you can no longer run.  Back up and run on the very edge like you are almost
falling off.  Then when you reach that point where you can’t walk any more jump
strait.  As soon as your feet leave the ground go left with the joystick.  You
should run up the wall and be able to kill people easily because no body ever
suspects it.  I think that it is the most useful tactic in the FAQ.  This one
may take a few tries to get used to but once you get the hang of it, its
simple.

2.Get on top of pikes peak
Difficulty rating: 2   Possible death rating: 1
This a very good place to camp and watch the bomb.  When you are running up the
middle you should be able to see it on your right side.  If you look at the
corner where it turns towards the bomb you should kind of see an upside down
triangle in the snow.  By triangle I mean it turns and the corners are the
sides of the triangle.  If you just jump and get your feet anywhere inside of
this triangle then you should be able to run up it.

3.Get on top of The Cliff
Difficulty rating: 1    Possible death rating: 1
This actually isn’t a secret.  It is made to get on top of.  I just thought I
should put it in here because I have never seen any body up there and it is a
fairly good spot. All you do is go to the southern most side of the rock and it
will give you the climb option.  Press x and your there.

4.Get on top of Snake Hill
Difficulty rating: 4   Possible death rating: 2
I just found this out today.  I had wanted to get up there for some time but I
had tried it so many times I just gave up.  Today I decided to try it because I
just had this feeling that it had to be possible. Run up the northern part of
snake hill next to the lamp post. As you approach the southern peak, run up the
left hand side, almost pushing up the hill, and jump before the point where
you would normally slip off. You almost have to turn upwards to the right and
jump aiming for the front southern edge running as fast as you can. It almost
seems like you have to jump before where you would think you would have to get
it to work. Crouching seems to help, but maybe not.
Better directions submited by: Lakshimi


5.Get on top of hill next to Snake Hill.
Difficulty rating: 4    Possible death rating: 1
Start running up snake hill and turn around as soon as you get past the light
pole.  YOu should be facing east/northeast.  A little hil is in front of you.
Run towards it and jump very early aiming at the lowest part of the ledge.
This takes some practice but is a good place to camp if you are a terrorist and
the last one left.

6.  Get on top of hill next to LionsBack

This is another one that isn't too much of a secrent but it is so I will put it
up here.  It's a hard jump but you aim for the part where the hill starts to
curve upward toward the bomb base jumping at kinda an angle. There is almost
a little tip on Lion's Back ridge pointing that way.  Run to the right of that
tip, and jump aiming leftward. Try to jump a little early so you don't just
jump strait up and fall straight down.  The place where it looks easiest to
jump isn't and you will probably fall and die.

D. Frostfire
1.Get on top of building 5
Difficulty rating: 5    Possible death rating: 5
This is just a coincidence that the building is called building 5 and the
ratings are 5.  I gave this a 5 difficulty rating because you have to make 2
very very difficult jumps.  I gave it a 5 for possible death because it takes a
while to do and people will usually see you and shoot you.  I have never done
it in a regular game but that doesn’t mean that it is not possible.  I have
only done it in a glitch room where no body kills you.  Start off climbing the
water towers and going to the part of the upper level that is next to building
5.  You can also climb the ladder from the tunnels and you are there.  First
you need to jump on top of the thick railing next to the ladder right where
the railing begins.  Once you make it up there then turn facing the wall with
the railing on top.  Here is the hard part.  You have to jump onto the railing
on top of the wall.  This is very hard because you have no running room.  once
you get on top of that then turn right and walk on the railing until you get to
the roof.  Congrats, if you have done this then you have succeeded in getting
to the most difficult hiding spot in SOCOM that I know of.

E. Bitter jungle
1.Getting into trees
Difficulty rating: 3    Possible death rating: 1
There is one tree that is reachable in bitter jungle that I know of.  If you
are starting from the seals spawn point all you do is as soon as you
start go right.  There should be a dirt path.  You will approach a tree on
your right.  You need to climb up the wall to the right of the tree and jump to
it.  Once again I really can’t explain it too much.  I will as soon as the map
is made though.

F. Blood Lake
1.  Get into trees
Difficulty rating: 3   Possible death rating: 2
Some trees you can die trying to get in so be careful.  I really can’t explain
which trees to try and get into until the map comes out.  But it should be
noticeable.  Just look for trees low to the ground or trees next to rocks and
hills.

2.Climb up wall near hostages
Difficulty rating: 3   Possible death rating: 2
If you start out in the same direction that the hostages are looking in and go
left of the big rock.  There should be a sniper tower right in front of you.
Make a 90 degree turn when you reach the corner in front off the sniper tower.
You should see a corner that is really shaded.  If you jump just right on the
wall then you should be able to climb up the wall.  You
have to jump in the very corner and as soon as you jump steer you guy to the
left really hard and walk up the mountain.

3.Jump to ledge behind Hostages
Difficulty rating: 3   Possible death rating: 4
This is not too much of a secret but I thought that I would put it in here any
way because it seems like a lot of people have a problem with it.  What you
want to do is get to the big mountain thing by the hostages.  Run around to
the back of it and you should see a ledge on the wall to your left.  Turn
strait towards it and run and jump.  The trick to not dying on this is jumping
a little bit early.  If you jump to late for some reason you will jump strait
up an dgo about 3 feet and fall to your death right in the middle of the 5-foot
wide ditch.  This is a great spot to snipe and watch the hostages.  I rarely
get shot when I am up there.

G. Death Trap
1.Get on top of awning near hostages
Difficulty rating: 1   Possible death rating: 1
This is another one that is not a secret but I don’t see many people up there
and it is an OK spot.  Starting off next to the hostages.  If you are facing
the same way as the hostages go left.  You should see a small ramp on you right
 It is very dark that is why most people don’t know about it.  Just walk up
the ramp and you are there. Just like magic.

H. Rats nest
I currently don’t know of any hard to reach places in Rats nest.  It is my
least favorite level and I hate playing it.  If you know of any hard to
reach/secret places please email me and tell me about them.

I. Desert Glory
1.Hide inside bed of truck
Difficulty rating: 1   Possible death rating: 1
This is a very easy yet very useful tacic. All you do is go to the strip and
there should be three rock in the direction of the truck.  You can squeeze
through the crevice of the rock and there should be a rock that kind of
stretches out.  As soon as you fit through jump.  You will land in the truck
bed.  You can then go into prone position and look around.  When someone comes
pop out and shoot them.

2.Jump to rock next to prison
Difficulty rating: 2  Possible death rating: 2
This looks like it would have a high death rating because if you miss then you
would die.  But the thing is you can’t miss.  All you do is get on top of
prison by climbing on the boards and then the roof.  Then jump off the east
side of the prison.  Look where your jumping before you do it or you could just
be daring and estimate.  Once you land I would consider going into prone
position and sniping.   That is pretty much all you can do on these rocks.

3.Jump to rock next to Strip tower
Difficulty rating: 3   Possible death rating: 3
This is almost exactly the same as the prison rock except this rock is more out
in the open.  All you do is get on top of the strip tower and jump north to
the rock in the middle.  It is fairly easy to spot you up there but I have
gotten kills with a sniper up there before.  So it does work.

4.Jump to rock next to Guest House.
Difficulty rating: 4 maybe 5 Possible death rating: 2
This is a very hard jump to do.  I couldn’t decide between 4 and 5.  You have
to get the timing just right but it doesn’t require 2 jumps like building 5 on
Frostfire.  You have to run and jump off the south side of the guest house.  I
have a high death rate because it is an easy place to spot.  They might not
expect you there once or twice but then they will know and look there a lot.
The key is timing.  You have to kind of jump at the last second or you will
fall short.

5.Get on top of rocks south of Cafe
Difficulty rating: 4   Possible death rating: 3
One of my clan members showed me this today.  Thanks Zippo.  Anywho, as you
start out as a seal go down the middle path and you should see a big rock on
your right.  You should see that it gets pretty low right before it turns in
into a ledge and gets ten feet tall.  It is just low enough to jump to.  Get
yourself on an imaginary line parrele to the cafe door and the lowest part of
the rock.  Run towards it and jump.  If you jump at the right time it is just
enough to get up  the rock and from there you can walk around abit.  This is
another one that is all about timing.

J. Night Stalker
1.Get on top of huge mountain by the seals base.
Difficulty rating: 3   Possible death rating: 1
This is one of the best place to snipe from.  As you start out as a seal run
and jsump over the wall>  you should be in the middle section of the leve.
Keep on going until you rach the first staircase on your right.  It should only
be a four or five stair I think.  Turn around once you are at the top of the
stair case and face south.  You should see a ledge hanging off from the side of
the huge mountain.  A big rock is in the way.  YOu have to jump to that ledge.
Run off of the ledge next to the stairs and try to land on the ledge.  It may
take a few tries but it is well worth it.
Submitted by: Josh H and Supasportfan21

2.Get on top of building C
Difficluty rating: 2   Possible death rating: 2
If you walk out of the noth door in C and go up the stairs you should see some
rocks on your right.  About 3/4 of the way down the rocks (going away from the
building) the rocks become very short.  It is short enough to jump onto.  Jump
on to the rocks and turn right until you reach the building.  There is that
slight chance that you might fall off and die so it gets a very small death
rating.

3.Get on top of Building G or Bomb House
You should notice that you can walk on to the lower part of the bomb house roof
and not have to do anything too special.  Well if you look east when you are
up there you will wee it gets higger. IT is possible to jump on top of.  There
is really no directions just jump.  Once again timing is everything.

V. FAQs

This is the FAQs portion of the FAQ.  That sounds kinda funny.  Any who don’t
Email on any thing answered in this part of the FAQ or any other part for that
matter.

Q. Are these Glitches?
A. NO.  You are not passing through any solid objects or breaking any pixels
in any of these hard to reach places.  They are just hard to reach. I do
suggest going into glitch rooms to practice them though.  It is just easier to
do them and get used to doing them in a place where you don’t get killed.
