Crosstalk objectives allow you to change how missions progress between SOCOM 3
and Fireteam Bravo. Crosstalk objectives are not listed on the Mission Deploy
screen, so you'll need to check the end of the Crosstalk list under Extras.
Because it doesn't matter what difficulty you play the game on to unlock
Crosstalk objectives, this guide assumes you are playing as Ensign. This makes
it far easier to complete the objectives, with reduced AI intelligence, and
less enemies.
Also, it is recommended, if you have SOCOM 3, to unlock all Crosstalk
objectives there first. Sync your PS2 and PSP. Syncing your PS2 and PSP is
as easy as plugging in a USB cable to your PS2 and plugging the other end into
your PSP. On each game, go to the Extras section from the main menu, and select
Sync Files on both systems. It should only take 2-3 seconds to sync, and you'll
be told when its successful or not. Syncing the SOCOM 3 Crosstalk objectives
makes it easier to complete most missions, or gives you extra intelligence on
the mission.
When you have completed the campaign and all Crosstalk Objectives, sync your
PSP and PS2 to unlock everything for SOCOM 3.
For the most part, I use an M4A1 with Suppressor 2 and a High Scope. Because
there is no encumbrance on this game (unlike the beta), it doesn't really
matter what you take. I strongly recommend taking at least one set of flash-
bangs at a time, as well as 2X Ammo. Grenades are useless and cumbersome on
this game. While they aren't Crosstalk objectives, I like to get all Bonus
Objectives too. Missions where it asks you to neutralize a specific target
usually have a Bonus Objective for capturing them alive, and flashbangs make
it easy to get them to surrender.
Crosstalk objectives that require a whole mission to complete (like extracting
someone, or killing all enemies in the area) won't show up until the end of
the mission, so if it doesn't tell you its been completed, redeploy and try
again. Other Objectives (like photographing someone, or retrieving a piece of
intel) will notify you immediately that the Crosstalk mission has been
completed.
There are some Bonus Objectives listed here as well. Some of these Bonus
Objectives are tricky, and can be as elusive as the Crosstalks. For this
reason, I have included a few of them.
If any of my descriptions aren't clear enough, please feel free to contact me,
and I'll do my best to clarify it. My contact information is at the bottom of

| 2. Version History |
--------------------
v1.2 (10/01/06) - Guide should be complete now. New authorized site for
posting.
v1.1 (12/08/05) - Finally completed the Crosstalk for Undermining Authority,
and have added a more detailed walk-through for it. Fixed
Some spelling mistakes.
v1.0 (12/04/05) - Relatively detailed list of Crosstalk Objectives for Fireteam
Bravo. Most details from memory.
Village Recon:
-Eliminate all anarchists:
Simply put, eliminate every enemy. Make sure you check around every corner
and behind every building. Clear an area out at a time. When you finish
all of the primary objectives, you must return to the extraction and clear
it out. When you eliminate the final enemies, it should tell you the Cross-
talk objective was complete. If not, avoid the extraction and try to find
the enemies you missed. Otherwise, start over.
Powderkeg:
-Photograph gas mask crates
The crates are easy to find. It is one of the locations where you must plant
a satchel. Before planting the satchel, take out your Digital Camera and
snap a photo of the crates.
Undertow:
-Obtain laptop
While making your way through the sewers, stick to the catwalks, instead of
down on the ground. Along the walls, there are little rooms. Check the
tables in all of them, eventually you'll see a laptop that can be taken.
Don't bother searching the rest of the rooms after locating the laptop, it
is a waste of time. You may want to still look in them, as there are still
enemies along the way.
While this isn't a Crosstalk objective, further into the sewers, you'll
come up to a light green hallway that has two enemies standing there. They
should be talking when you get there. Just stay at the corner out of sight
of them, and you'll overhear a conversation. Wait until they stop talking.
This completes a Bonus Objective, and it will tell you as much.
Clean Sweep:
-Obtain Docs
Inside the warehouse, on the catwalk that surrounds the permieter, there is
an office where a Rail Worker is being held hostage. Kill the guard, and
secure the hostage. On the desk in this office, there are some Documents you
can take. Retrieve them. Finish the mission. Crosstalk Objectives for Chile
are now completed.
North Africa:
-------------
Isolated Agent:
-Capture ODDBALL
Once you have snapped all photos of ODDBALL, follow him to the building at
the top of the hill. Secure the building, and restrain the Village Elder.
ODDBALL is also in this building. If you kill the guards around him, you
can restrain ODDBALL. Order ODDBALL and the Elder to follow, and move to
extract.
Short Fuse:
-Photograph Sarwat
Before entering the inner gates of the mansion, make your way through the
maze to the front of the house. There will be a small break in the wall.
From here, you can see Sarwat standing on the balcony directly in front of
you. Take out the Digital Camera and snap a photo. You cannot get a photo
from anywhere else, once you enter the gates of the mansion, you can see
Sarwat run inside, and disappear.
-Capture NAPF Soldier
Make sure you take a double set of flashbangs before you deploy. You'll need
them. After getting a shot of Sarwat, enter the inner gates of the mansion.
You'll be on the left side. Kill the enemy in front of you, and make your
way around to the back. There are a couple of enemies here, take them out.
As you near the far wall (where you enter the mansion), issue a Hold
Position order (issue Hold Fire for extra security). Switch to your
Flashbangs, and peak around the corner. Throw 2-3 flashbangs, cause this guy
takes a few. The soldier should give up. Restrain him. That should complete
the Crosstalk. If you do not issue the Hold Position, Lonestar will come
around the corner and break Hold Fire when the NAPF soldier starts shooting
(and he will). If you kill the soldier, you'll have to restart to complete
the Crosstalk.
Lethal Crossing:
-Destroy Trucks
This is actually a Primary Objective as well. Proceed through this mission
as usual. You cannot complete this mission without completing the Crosstalk.
Desert Siege:
-Obtain map
From the main floor, enter. Immediately inside, kill the guard in front of
you. Immediately take a left. You'll see a staircase, however, ignore it.
Turn around, and you'll see a doorway. Follow it, and head around the
corner. You should be in an open room with blue walls, with one enemy in
it. Kill the enemy. After killing the enemy, check the box next to the
doorway. There should be Attack Plans on it. Grab it. Crosstalk complete.
-Obtain memo
From the main floor, enter, kill the guard directly in front of you. Go
immediately left, and there should be a staircase going upstairs. Head up.
At the top, head right, go through where you plant the Satchel at the Supply
Cache. Exit this room. Once in the main room upstairs (where you can see
back downstairs), head west. You should see a small room at the end with
three stacked boxes. In the corner of this room, there is a table with a
laptop on it. Next to the laptop is a Decoded Memo. Take it. Finish the
mission. Crosstalk Objectives for North Africa are now completed.
South Asia:
-----------
Songbird:
-Extract MAGPIE unharmed
Complete the mission as usual. When it comes time to take MAGPIE and
extract, just run and shoot whatever threat comes your way. Every time
that I've played this mission, MAGPIE has been unharmed.
Biohazard:
-Obtain training film
Make your way into the compound. The terrorist leader you must photograph
is near the top of a hill within the compound. Get a picture of him from a
safe distance. Once you have done this, make your way to the top of that
hill. In the immediate vicinity of the building where he was standing is
another barracks-type building. Head inside of it. Once inside, go to the
middle "stall". There is a cot there. Go up to it, and it should allow you
to retrieve the training film. Unlike most Crosstalk objectives, this one
seems to take a while to register, but it will.
Under Fire:
-Obtain intel
Eliminate all enemies outside of the bunker, and head towards the entrance.
You should see a quick video of an airstrike on the bunker. Once over, enter
the bunker through this airstriked entrance. You will be in a large room
with what can really only be described as block buildings. One on the right
and one on the left. Immediately to your right will be an enemy, kill him.
Head forward towards the back wall, and look right. There should be 3
enemies there, kill them. Now turn completely around, towards the left block
building. You can tell which one it is by the crates on top of it. Look
around this building for a ramp that goes to the top, where the crates are.
On the top, examine the crates, in the middle. You should get the option to
Obtain Documents. Do so. Finish the mission. Crosstalk Objectives for South
Asia are now completed.
Poland:
-------
Supply and Demand:
-Secure terrorist
This one is easy. On the weapon loadout, take some Flashbangs. When the
mission first starts, there is a terrorist immediately in front of you.
Toss a flashbang or two at him, and he'll surrender. Go up to him and
restrain him. Crosstalk complete.
-Retrieve all intel
This one is also easy. While one of the Primary Objectives is to search
and locate 3 pieces of intel, there is a 4th. In the Northwest corner
(where you extract to finish the mission), there is a large boat
docked. When you are searching the warehouses, make your way there. Take
out your Digital Camera, and snap a photo of the front of the ship,
specifically, the name of the ship. This is the 4th piece of intel.
Undermining Authority:
-No alarms
This is fairly hard. There are two ways of successfully completing this
mission. One is to use absolute stealth, which is incredibly hard. The
other, easier way is to run and gun, but slowly.
Before attempting this Crosstalk objective, I suggest playing it through,
and locate the alarms. There are 5 or 6 of them spread throughout the
map. Don't kill any of the generators, as it makes it very hard to spot
the alarms on the walls. To see what the alarms look like, start the
mission, and wait for a few seconds. A guy should run in front of you,
kill him. Take a right, and immediately turn left. You should be in an
open room (the room where the demo crew lies dead). Kill the two guys at
the bottom of the ramp. Directly in front of you is a big archway door.
On the right side of the door is the alarm. Remember what they look like,
and find the rest of them. Alarms are incredibly loud in the room they've
been triggered in, so you'll know if there is one in that room. Memorize
each alarm location.
Once you've memorized them all, start the mission over. Try to run and gun,
but keep yourself from being seen. There are typically 2 or 3 enemies in
each room. If you are spotted, there will always be one running straight
for the alarm, so take him out first, and quickly take out the others. Do
this for EACH room there is an alarm in. When you have each room cleared,
go back and complete the mission. When you are finished, it should tell you
that the Crosstalk has been completed. If at ANY TIME YOU HEAR AN ALARM,
restart the mission. Good luck, this is probably the hardest Crosstalk
mission for Fireteam Bravo.
Chemical Reaction:
-Remain Stealthy
Before starting the mission, you'll definately want a weapon with a scope,
preferrably a Thermal or High Scope. When starting the mission, move
forward, holding down R. Eventually you'll see some targets show up. There
will be one outside the gate, and two inside. With the Thermal, you'll need
to get closer, so be careful. Kill the first three, and move to the front
gate. Immediately in front of you are a few big trees, with a sniper on the
roof, take him out. Move to the right side of the building, staying close to
the back wall (opposite the building). As you reach the corner, you'll see
two more guards, about halfway down the side of the building. Take them out,
and move down past their bodies. When you reach the rear corner, you should
receive notice that you've completed the Crosstalk.
-Kill all NSO
After completing the first Crosstalk, go in and disable the truck. Kill all
enemies in this part of the warehouse. Immediately leave the warehouse, and
take a left. Because you've already completed the stealth objective,
getting spotted isn't a big deal. Proceed to the far left side of the
warehouse, where the large tanks are. There are two guards here, take them
out. That is all of the enemies outside. Now, head back to the warehouse
where you disabled the truck. Simply put, sweep the warehouse and factory
from right to left. Clear all rooms. When you are sure that you have all
enemies taken out, proceed with the rest of the mission. In the room where
TINMAN is waiting, eliminate the three enemies, and follow him to the roof.
Proceed as normal. TINMAN will give up if you take out all of his guards on
the roof. Restrain him. This completes the mission, and the campaign.
Crosstalk Objectives for Poland are now completed.
