on missions to neutralize terrorist threats from South America to Russia. Take on
explosive urban firefights, breach hardened defenses, rescue non-combatants or

When you are ready for SEAL warfare online, join up to 15 other players and take
sides as a SEAL, Terrorist, or other special operations units. This is the true test of
teamwork. Each battlefield will offer even the most seasoned soldier a tactical
challenge. The headset will keep you in voice contact with every other teammate so
you can adapt your strategy even as the bullets fly.
Terrorism is a threat to freedom all over the world and
the unconventional tactics of U.S. Navy SEALs are
needed. This is the time. When they picked a fight,
they never planned on fighting these guys.
F
or decades, SEAL teams have been elite U.S fighting forces. Naval Special
Warfare and the SEALs evolved from the necessities of World War II amphibious
combat. Before delivering thousands of soldiers onto beaches in landing craft,
underwater demolition teams wearing swim masks and fins had to sneak in from the
ocean, recon the area and remove hazards, sometimes with high explosives. SEAL
teams are small, highly lethal attack squads of stealthy soldiers. By 1962 this
method of fighting had a name: Unconventional Warfare, and the SEALs were
formed to meet the needs of a new type of combat.
SEALs are exceptionally well-trained, tactically intelligent students of warfare,
masters of hand-to-hand combat, and experts with any weapon from knives
to heavy machine guns. While a single SEAL is dangerous, an entire
fireteam is even more so. When the smoke clears,
SEALs are victorious because of teamwork. In a
firefight, no terrorist threat is a match for an
efficient SEAL fireteam. Each member
is trained to protect other team
members, never hesitating to
act for the good of the
mission, and the team,
in every
combat
scenario.
