Setting

Several of the maps featured in this game will be based in Algeria, North Africa. The levels have been scaled down significantly from those in the last two previous games in the series (console games, not portable games), since the developers wanted to create a more intimate combat experience. Vehicles have also been excluded from the game for this reason. Some of the confirmed classic maps in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation are:

1. Crossroads
2. Desert Glory
3. Frostfire

The map "Quarantine".

1. Urban Wasteland
   
2. Quarantine
3. Kasbah
4. Fallen

1. Suppression - The team which has the most people alive after a round is over wins the round.
2. Elimination - One team needs to kill everyone in the opposing team in order to win, or else the round is a draw.
3. Extraction - The Commandos will need to save hostages captured by the Mercenaries and extract them while the Mercenaries need to do all they can to defend the hostages.
4. Escort - A set of VIPs that spawn with the Commandos will need to be escorted by them from one point to another. During this escort, the Mercenaries are going to try and kill the VIPs, so Commandos need to prevent that from happening.
5. Demolition - The Commandos will need to take a bomb and plant it in the Mercenary base while the Mercenaries need to stop this from happening.
6. Control - A set of control points will need to be captured by each side. Whichever side has the most control points captured by the end of the round wins.
7. Breach - Using C4 charges, Commandos will need to blow a set of gates in order to breach enemy territory. Once this is done, a bomb that the Commandos have with them will need to be planted in order to fully destroy the Mercenary stronghold.

Customization

SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation has customizable maps, weapons, and characters. The maps can be customized to any size to accommodate the number of players, so they are not always so large if you want to play with a small group of people. The weapons can have attachments, with primary weapons (assault rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles) accepting a maximum of two attachments, while secondary weapons (pistols) accepting only one attachment. Lastly, player can create their Commando and Mercenary from the ground up, giving them their own, unique look.
