Save after every level = = = = = = = = = = = = = = THE WALKTROUGH: When starting a game it doesn't really matter how you make yourself look. Your characteristics do not matter either. When picking a squad pick whoever you want as it doesn't matter. When your finally ready choose call up or metro as that doesn't matter either. Also when choosing gear it is all up to you. It doesn't matter what you get. This walkthrough will go through the few levels of career mode with tips and information. This is hard because every level's people change locations every time you play the level. I will give a number hostages/civilians and suspects in each level as well as a difficulty rating. (1 being easy and 10 being hardest)I hope this helps you and you enjoy it. LEVEL 1 BARRACADED SUSPECT ALONG PASEDENA FREEWAY DIFFICULTY-1/10 HOSTAGES-1 SUSPECTS-1 OBJECTIVES: 1. Arrest suspect Martin Brenner 2. Locate all weapons GUIDE: Okay. This level is extremely easy. One suspect to arrest or neutralize is all you have to do. You start by the front door so have someone open it up. When inside the suspect will either be in the stairwell, room under the steps, bedroom on the second floor, or in the attic. When you arrest him pick up his weapon. If you didn't pick up a sniper rifle then check the attic. Also if you come across a woman just arrest and evacuate her. LEVEL 2 HIGH RISK ARREST WARRANT AT VICTOR GETTS RESIDENCE Difficulty-2/10 HOSTAGES-0 SUSPECTS-2 OBJECTIVES: 1. Arrest Victor Getts 2. Arrest Albert Getts 3. Locate all weapons Guide: This level is very easy to. Two suspects so they will shot you if not careful. When you star you are at the front door. Click F to get your flashlight on. Tell your squad to open the door. Usually Albert, the younger one, is in here. If he is arrest him. If not he will most likely be in the bedroom at the end of the hallway, or in the closest at the closest end. Pick up his weapon and if you didn't go back to the front room and find the Uzi under the coffee table. Next find your way to the garage. Victor is always in here. Get his weapon and then move onto the basement and find another Uzi on a desk to finish the level. LEVEL 3 HOSTAGE RESCUE AT THE RIVER TIGRIS Difficulty-3/10 HOSTAGES-1 SUSPECTS-5 OBJECTIVES: 1. Rescue Ambassador Jemi Kemal 2. Arrest Lokmar Damar 3. Bring order to chaos Guide: This level may be hard but is fairly easy. You star outside the River Tigris and soon will be under fire. Arrest him and any others that shot you. Some may go into the back room. Tell your squad to follow them. After that continue finding small doors until you find stairs leading down. Put your flashlight on and tell your men to go on. Down here you will meet resistance and possibly the Ambassador. Arrest all and evacuate the ambassador. Lokmar will be wearing a vest and the ambassador will have a bag over his head. If you don't find everyone there is a white door in the basement where Lokmar usually hides.

Rescue Emily Foreman 4. Rescue Jacob Foreman 5. Bring order to chaos GUIDE: This level is extremely hard for those who still are getting used to the game. The location where you start is near the pool with an entrance to the house up some steps. Getting in is dangerous so have your squad clear out each room one by one. Your main goal is to control the room in the middle of the house as this is the most dangerous. There are many windows that gunmen can shoot through. Get into this room and quickly go to the backyard and kill all the gunmen you see. If you give mercy they will kill you. After this there should be one suspect upstairs and downstairs. Rescue all hostages and you win. (To bring order to chaos arrest 6 suspects) LEVEL 5 HOSTAGE RESCUE AT SAINT DIMITRI HOLY TRINITY CHURCH Difficulty-6/10 HOSTAGES-7 SUSPECTS-10 OBJECTIVES: 1.

Make your way to a room with stairs in it. Be careful here as gunmen will shot you from above. Make your way up and across the hallway. Find the door at the other end and go up the stairs in there to find a hostage. Search this area completely then find a secret door in the room in the back. It will lead down into the area behind the altar. Go into the church area clear it all out. There is a room to the right of the altar and a room right behind the altar. Walk near the wall until you find it. Inside is a hostage. (To bring order to chaos arrest 5 suspects) LEVEL 6 RAPID DEPLOYMENT AT WATER TREATMENT CONSTRUCTION SITE Difficulty-6/10 HOSTAGES-0 SUSPECTS-11 OJECTIVES: 1. Bring order to chaos 2. Disable 3 air missile launchers 3. Prevent destruction of aircraft GUIDE: This level is very dark to see and easy to get lost. Have your flash light on and always be with your group incase of attack. You will hear gunfire but your squad should take care of you. To prevent destruction of aircraft you must complete the first two objectives. When you start the game open the door and continue straight to the first door you see. Walk in ,clear area, and then have a squad member diffuse the missile launcher. Come out the way you did and continue straight the way you were going. Soon take a left until you find a ramp leading down into an in ground area. It is hard to explain but through a pipe you should find the other two missile launchers and diffuse them. Now all you have to do is search for more people to bring order to chaos. (To bring order to chaos arrest 9 suspects)( Also make sure downed suspects are dead or being evacuated and not just lying there moaning.)

Bring order to chaos GUIDE: You start on the roof of the bank and must open a door to get into the attic of the bank. This is basically a maze with one gunman inside. It is tough to explain but when you find a door with a picture of stairs on it your through. When in the bank go down a hallway with a lot offices. Most of these may have hostages inside. Work your way to the entrance while confronting about two gunmen. Rescue the downed officer and open the safe door to find another hostage.

You start in a grass area under a tunnel leading into the television center. There may be someone in the tunnel. When you make it to the next door stand behind your man then clear the area once the door is opened. Should be about 4 suspects all with heavy rifles. Could be dangerous. After that clear out the hall with the bathrooms and green room. Next continue to the stairs and clear out the top floor. Next after you cleared everything go into the hall with the bathrooms and green room. Go behind the wooden wall and continue until you find a passage. It will lead you to the set of a show. You will find many hostages and quite possibly some resistance. Rescue all hostages and you are half way through the game. (To bring order to chaos arrest 8 suspects) LEVEL 9 HIGH RISK ARREST WARRANT AT THE PHEONIX LOUNGE DIFFICULTY-4/10 HOSTAGES-1 SUSPECTS-4 OBJECTIVES: 1. Arrest Ric "Dog" Peters 2. Arrest Jon T. Elliot 3. Arrest Brad Kurtz 4. Arrest Brit Hogue 5. Locate all weapons GUIDE: In my eyes this level is extremely easy. You start outside the Phoenix Lounge. Getting in is the only hard part. The first room is huge so have your squad in first and back them up. Make sure you find all suspects and pick up their weapons when they are dead or handcuffed. In the first room find both bars and go behind the counter to find a gun in each bar. Also two desks in the room have guns on them to. Next go by the dance floor and find the bathrooms. There is usually someone in here. Now find a door in the first room right of the dance floor leading to a room full of boxes. Clear this room out and continue to the back of the club. Remember there is a gun behind the door of the box room leading into the back of the club. Clear out the whole back area of the club. There are 2 guns in the living room on the desk, 2 on the table in the kitchen, and 2 on the bed in the bedroom. To find all weapons you must get 13 guns. If you can't find them just keep looking through the whole level. LEVEL 10 HOSTAGE RESCUE AT THE HOTEL CARLYLE DIFFICULTY-9/10 HOSTAGES-10 SUSPECTS-23 OBJECTIVES: 1. Rescue President Igor Stomas 2. Rescue Eduard Galeeo 3. Rescue unknown number of hostages 4. Bring order to chaos GUIDE: I find this level extremely hard mainly because of windows and one dangerous staircase. This level is beatable so do not worry. You start your mission on the roof. Work your way to the first door. Here you have many options. There is a door that leads to the staircase and a door to more rooms on the same floor. If you stay on the same level(Which I recommend) make sure the door to the staircase is closed. Even though it's closed many suspects will probably make their way up it and kill you from behind. Best to leave two guys near the staircase. These next rooms you'll find can be very difficult. There is a bedroom and a living room you need to be careful in. There are windows in them so suspects can shot you from outside on a balcony. When this floor is clear you should have saved all hostages and only need to bring order to chaos. Head downstairs via the dangerous staircase. There should be about at least 7 guys in the staircase. Luckily their dumb so you should be able to handle it. (Lead with group or go yourself and just neutralize everyone) In the basement just clear out everything until you finish all objectives. Also in the kitchen in the basement check the freezer, there is usually someone in here. (To bring order to chaos arrest 20 suspects, and to rescue unknown number of hostages rescue five) LEVEL 11 VIP DETAIL AT THE LOS ANGELUS CONVENTION CENTER DIFFICULTY-7/10 HOSTAGES-11 SUSPECTS-25 OBJECTIVES: 1. Protect life of Igor Stomas 2. Protect dignitaries from harm 3. Maintain safe perimeter GUIDE: You start this level in the heat of battle in a RV. Neutralize the two or arrest them. When you get out meet up with your two other squad members and clear all of the outside and evacuate all the dignitaries. Make your way through the front doors and clear out the whole first floor. To do this keep to your right and shot whoever you see. Next clear out the cafeteria. Then go to the back room and then clear out the bathrooms. Now to make your way upstairs. First use the stairs instead of the escalator which will lead you into the open. In the stairs there are usually 4 suspects. It is hard to kill them but when you do you have a safe way to the second floor. Go left or right and clear out the top floor. This level is fairly easy except for many suspects and sometimes suspects will sneak up on you. (To protect dignitaries save ten of them and to maintain safe perimeter arrest or neutralize 20 suspects. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = As I have said before this walkthrough/guide is only half the game. Part 2 may come in the future. Until then have fun with these challenges. 1. Only use a pistol in the game 2. Only use a bean bag gun in the game 3. Set whole team to bean bag guns and try not to neutralize any suspects 4. Drop your squad off somewhere and beat all levels alone 5. Beat as many levels as you can without losing a squad member or being shot 6. Arrest suspects with no guns, Just flash bangs and smoke grenades THESE CAN ALL BE DONE AND ARE VERY FUN TO DO = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Yet again this walkthrough/guide for Swat 3 may not be reproduced unless for private and personnel use.
