PLAYING THE ONLINE GAME ONLINE GAME TYPES
To help you decide which game to join, each game’s Game Type (along with the level, number of players, and host name) is displayed in the Game List on the Join Game screen. There are FOUR Game Types: Objective Mode, Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, and Rogue Agent.
Objective Mode: Objective mode is Syphon Filter-style objectives in a team vs. team environment. Players are split into two teams and have opposing objectives that they are trying to achieve. Objectives vary depending on which level they are playing. The objectives are consistent with the setting and story specific to the mission on which the level is based.
Deathmatch Mode: The goal is simple: Kill or be killed. In Deathmatch it’s all about staying alive and trying to kill the enemies before they kill you. Spawn points are placed around the level, as are weapon crates, flak jackets and gadgets. There are three types of deathmatch play: Team Deathmatch, Individual Deathmatch, Rogue Agent.
Team Deathmatch: In Team Deathmatch players are split into two teams. Each team’s goal is to eliminate the other team.
Points are awarded each time you kill an enemy, while points are deducted for killing a teammate. The first team to reach the team score limit wins.
 Deathmatch: Standard Deathmatch is similar to Team Deathmatch, except that you do not have any teammates. Everyone is a fair target and counts positively toward your score count.
 Rogue Agent: This Game Type starts with everyone on the same team. Somewhere in the mission is an object that can give the player “Rogue Agent” powers… effectively giving that player the ability to kill the other players. The player’s goal is to become the Rogue agent and kill as many of the other players as he can before he is killed. When the agent is killed the first player to get the object from the freshly killed Rogue Agent’s pack now becomes the Rogue Agent and will teleport to a random location on the map.

WEAPONS AND GADGETS

WEAPONS AK-47
This is a truly legendary weapon, known for its extreme ruggedness, simplicity of operation and maintenance, and unsurpassed reliability even in the worst conditions possible. ANTI-PERSONNEL MINE
Small radius anti-personnel mine, capable of taking out one to two targets. Once armed, this mine is invisible to the naked eye. Disarming is only possible when viewing the mine with EDSU goggles. EDT
The EDT delivers a powerful 625K-volt charge capable of incapacitating the arget. It is completely non-lethal (given that the victim is not subjected to prolonged exposure) and is small enough to fit into a holster. The EDT has a range of 25 feet. AR-15
The AR-15 was adopted by the United States military under the designation M16. Today, the AR-15 and its variations are manufactured by many companies and have captured the affection of sport shooters and police forces around the world due to their low cost, accuracy, and modularity. This variant is fitted with an 8x scope. EPDD
This amazing piece of technology is capable of shooting two darts attached to a long wire with amazing accuracy.
This weapon uses a special recoiling device that quickly rewinds the wire for a second shot. The EPDD has increased stopping power due to advanced Electromuscular Disruption Technology (EDT). This weapon has a higher instant incapacitation rate than most 9mm pistols and injury  will occur if the individual  is over stunned.
Caution must be observed with this weapon — it is known to set assailants on fire during  sustained stunning. The EPDD has a range of 200 feet.  M82 BFG
Also known as the ‘Light Fifty’, this weapon is semi-automatic and is equipped with a muzzle brake that reduces recoil by 65%. The .50 caliber bullet is close to three inches long and is one of the most powerful rounds available. CALICO HE
The Calico HE fires highly explosive rounds that detonate upon impact with the target. Once detonation occurs, anybody caught within a 10-foot radius of the blast will take damage. CHINESE TYPE 56
The Chinese Type 56 is a Chinese variant of the world-famous AK-47.
The design of the Type 56/AK-47 has proven to be very successful. This weapon is highly reliable and tolerant to the abuses of use in the battlefield. DESERT EXPRESS .50
The Desert Pistols are the only gas- operated pistols in service and the .50 caliber is the most powerful. The Desert Express is often referred to as a hand annon due to its size and the power of the round. Only users experienced with great recoil forces will be able to handle this weapon effectively. Anyone hit within its effective range will be knocked to the ground instantly even if they are wearing heavy armor. CLAYMORE MINE
Claymore mines are directional mines that are wired electronically to a triggering device. Equip the triggering device once a mine has been deployed and press the fire button to detonate it. When planting the mine, face the desired direction of the blast. DRAGUNOV SVD
The Dragunov SVD was designed not as a standard sniper rifle, but to extend the effective range of fire of infantry squads up to 600 meters and to provide special fire support. The SVD is a lightweight and accurate rifle capable of semi-auto fire, and comes equipped with a 10 round clip. CZ MACH-9
The most rare version of the standard CZ pistol, the Mach-9 is a selective- fire version of the basic CZ pistol, with a rate of fire of about 1,000 rounds per minute. DESERT SNIPER .357
The Desert Sniper .357 is a long range high powered sniping pistol with a 10inch barrel extension and mounted scope.
The .357 Magnum round makes this weapon difficult to handle for novice users, but with practice, the user can hit long-range targets with deadly accuracy. SILENCED .44
The Silenced .44 is a long range high powered sniping pistol with a 10-inch barrel extension and mounted scope. The .44 Magnum round makes this weapon difficult to handle for novice users, but with practice, the user can hit long-range targets with deadly accuracy. This version has been fitted with a silencer. EMP GRENADE
Electro Magnetic Pulse grenades are timed grenades, which create a powerful EMP blast that renders electronic devices temporarily useless. FAMAS
The FAMAS assault rifle, first introduced in 1973, uses a bullpup configuration and allows for ambidextrous usage. The ammunition is stored in a magazine behind the trigger and the receiver is housed in strong plastic. Fire rate is controlled by the selector just forward of the trigger. The selector has two settings: single shot and three-round burst fire. The FAMAS comes equipped with a 25 round clip. FLARE GUN
The flare gun, always a staple in nautical applications, was traditionally used to help search and rescue parties home in on lost or distressed ships. In times of need, however, the flare gun could also be used as a makeshift weapon. C11
This weapon is a product of decades of research and is one of the most advanced weapons ever made. The main demand behind its development was the need for a rifle with high hit rate. The C11 uses specially designed caseless ammo that consists of a ball round imbedded into a solid propellant.
Because of this, the C11 can fire a threeround burst before the rifle has a chance to recoil. This ensures that the entire burst will hit their mark exactly where the user intended. The IPCA version of the C11 has an integral scope and has a 50-round magazine capacity. GALIL AR
The Galil was designed to be a domestically produced, main battle rifle for the IDF, taking the best features of other rifles, such as the M16 and AK-47, and putting them into one weapon. 33 SC-1
The 33 SC-1 is a scoped rifle, ideal for picking off targets from a distance.
Although it lacks the sheer stopping power of many relatively higherpowered sniper rifles, it still packs enough punch to deal a good amount of damage from long range. C8 RIFLE
The C8 is a scoped rifle, ideal for picking off targets from a distance.
With a muzzle velocity that is much higher than that of many other sniper rifles, the C8 can deal massive damage even from very long range. M60 E-3
The M60 E-3 is an improved M60 that has a forward grip that helps stabilize the weapon during sustained firing. This weapon has been the US Army’s generalpurpose machine gun since the early 60’s and it uses the same feed system as the German WWII MG42.
The M60 maintains its accuracy during sustained fire due to better barrel design that vents the heat away more efficiently. This model comes fit with a 100-round belt that is stored in an ammo box attached to the feed system. JERICO-41
The Jerico-41 is more commonly known in the U.S.A as the Baby Eagle. It is a locked-breech, recoil-operated firearm, patterned after the famous CZ series of pistols. K-BAR
This is the standard issue combat knife of the US military. It has a seven- inch high carbon chromium stainless steel blade and a non-slip gripping handle. This knife can withstand extreme impacts and is capable of quickly slicing through bare flesh and heavy military fatigues. LASER MINE
Laser trip mines are incendiary mines that, when detonated, create a fire blast of up to 40 feet from the position of the mine. Laser mines can only be deployed onto a vertical surface. VSS-DU
The VSS-DU is a prototype variant of the standard VSS or Vintovka Snaiperskaja Spetsialnaya (Special Sniper Rifle). This is the prototype that eventually lead to the development of the MB-150. As with the MB-150, the VSS-DU can fire specialized darts that can be triggered by the user at any time. M1 SUPER 90
The M1 Super 90 is a high-quality shotgun, available in numerous versions for civilian, law enforcement and military use. Based on a system developed in the 1980s, which utilizes the gun recoil and inertia of the moving parts to operate the action, the M1 is simple and reliable in operation. M16A2
This is an improved M16A1 with a heavier barrel, built in flash suppressor, and is set to fire single shot and in 3round bursts. M16K
This assault rifle is a modified M16 that fires .45 caliber pistol rounds from a closed bolt, improving its semi-auto accuracy. Specific ammunition, called Glazer Rounds, is used in this weapon. The interior of a Glazer bullet is filled with buckshot sealed by a breakaway plastic cap. This cap bursts upon impact causing the buckshot to tear apart unarmored flesh. M249 SAW
This machinegun comes equipped with a 200-round box. The most significant difference between this and the M60 is the ammo size. It may pack less of a punch, but has greater accuracy and distance over the M60. M4 CARBINE
The M4 Carbine is a shorter and lighter version of the M16A2 assault rifle, achieving 80% parts commonality with the M16A2. As with many carbines, it is handy and more convenient to carry than a full-length rifle. While this makes it a candidate for non-infantry troops, it has also been used by United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM), as well as others seeking a compact weapon for close quarters combat. It is the preferred weapon of the U.S Special Forces. The M4 also can be fitted with a silencer.
M79
The M79 fires a variety of 40mm grenade cartridges, but the most commonly used ammo are M79 Fragmentation Grenade Cartridges.
This grenade is filled with Composition-B and has a kill radius of five meters, but can substantially wound and incapacitate out to 15 meters. The M-79 is a break-open weapon that fires from the shoulder and requires reloading after each round fired. MAK-10 .45 ACP
The MAK-10 was originally developed  in 1964. Its simple, low-cost design with few moving parts gives the MAK-10 a reputation for being extremely reliable and easily manufactured. However, the combination of its small size and high rate of fire make it rather undesirable as a military weapon. This variant is chambered for .45 ACP rounds.
MAK-10 9MM
The MAK-10 9MM is the same weapon as the MAK-10 ACP. The only difference between it and the ACP is that this variant is chambered for 9mm rounds. MAKAROV
The Makarov features a simple, sound and inexpensive design. While neither extremely accurate nor lethal at ranges beyond 50 feet, it is a formidable and reliable self-defense weapon. MGL
The MGL (Mini Grenade Launcher, which is also affectionately known as the Moogle) fires grenades that detonate on impact. MDS A3
The MDS A3’s accuracy, reliability, and wide range of accessories and variants have made it the submachine gun of choice for military and law enforcement agencies worldwide. MDS A4 SILENCED
The MDS series’ accuracy, reliability, and wide range of accessories and variants have made it the submachine gun of choice for military and law enforcement agencies worldwide. The A4 variant has been fitted with a silencer.  MDS-7
The MDS-7 essentially operates like a scaled-down assault rifle. It fires a specially designed round with a muzzle velocity nearly as high as the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO round used by many modern rifles. There is a drawback, however — the round is comparably smaller than a 9mm sized bullet, meaning less stopping power. X34 NERVE AGENT
X34 nerve agent — Kills any unprotected person within the cloud of gas that is expelled from this grenade. JACKHAMMER HE
The Jackhammer HE is a shotgun that ires highly explosive pellets that detonate on impact with the target.
Once detonation occurs, anybody caught within its 10-foot radius of effect will take damage. SP-57
The 57 uses the same ammo as the SSP 90 and is destined to become a major service pistol throughout the world. The firing mechanisms are designed to balance the recoil with the forward friction and torque of the bullet. This creates a very unusual reloading cycle with very little recoil. The bullet cartridge is longer than most other pistol cartridges and the bullet is very thin, being only 5.7mm in diameter. DSC-1 THERMAL
The DSC-1T is a sniper rifle equipped with a thermal scope capable of detecting heat sources of up to 200 feet away. It has a heavy and long barrel and uses a four-groove polygon system, which reduces bullet friction. This, combined with the long and heavy barrel, allows the bullet to reach higher velocities and have a much better effective range. It’s very useful in thick fog or heavy smoke, allowing the sniper to see concealed targets clearly. RAMAT
The Ramat is yet another variant of the world-famous AK-47. Although it deals a bit more damage from close range than the standard AK-47, it’s not quite as effective at longer range. RIPPER
The Ripper is a variant of the more widely known TEK-9. Made with cheaper parts than that of the TEK-9, the Ripper’s relatively low cost makes it more prone to falling into the wrong hands. RPK
It is essentially an AK-47 assault rifle with sturdier receiver, heavier and longer, non-detachable barrel, and re-contoured wooden buttstock. SAWED- OFF SHOTGUN
The Sawed-Off Shotgun has a pistol grip and shortened barrel intended to increase its spread pattern. While capable of dealing massive damage at short range, its wide spread pattern renders it near-useless at distance. SAWED- OFF PISTOL
The Sawed-Off Pistol has a pistol grip and shortened barrel intended to increase its spread pattern. While apable of dealing massive damage at short range, its wide spread pattern renders it near-useless at distance. SSG 550 SNIPER
The SSG 550 Sniper is a good short- to medium-range military marksman rifle or police / anti-terror rifle, capable of quick and accurate follow-up shots. SMAW
The Shoulder-launched Multi- purpose Assault Weapon fires an HEDP fin- stabilized high explosive rocket. Agents are cautioned to be a safe distance away from the target to avoid becoming collateral damage. MARK 23 SD
In August of 1991, a request was made by the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for an offensive handgun. Termed the OHWS, for Offensive Handgun Weapon System, it was a pistol designed within certain specified parameters that would be sufficient for conducting “offensive” operations, as opposed to the more traditional role for the handgun, which was typically used for defensive operations. The result was the Mark 23 SD. The heavy .45 bullet, precision accuracy, and threaded silencer make this weapon an ideal choice for the silent soldier. SPA-12
The SPA-12 was designed in the late 1970’s in Italy as a special purpose, military and police close combat weapon. Since its introduction, the SPA-12 has become a very popular police and special-forces weapon, being versatile and reliable, with good firepower. SPECTRE
The Spectre SMG was developed in the mid-1980s. The Spectre was designed primarily for close combat, anti-terror or police operations that require compact size and instant firepower at short range. AU300 H-BAR
This is a modification of the standard AU300 rifle that has a heavier barrel for the light machine gun role. It has a flash suppressor that reduces recoil and rise during sustained firing. The AU300 H-BAR fires from a closed bolt position making single shots extremely accurate. STONE’S RIFLE
“Now this here’s a rifle. I’ve had this weapon, man and boy, for forty years.
The scope’s cracked, the stock’s split, and it’s showin’ wear same as I am. But I wouldn’t trade it in for one of them new fangled MB-150s if Gabe paid me to, which he’s tried. Nope, I’ll stand by this old girl. One of the few I’ve learned to trust.” –Stone SWEEPER 12-GAUGE
The Sweeper is a lethal riot control device designed to take out a crowd of hostile individuals very quickly. It has a 12-round cartridge that is easy and quick to replace. All the user has to do to take out a rioting crowd is hold the trigger and sweep across the crowd. After a few seconds most individuals will flee the scene or be incapacitated. Due to its lethality and changing times, this weapon is no longer considered for riot control and is likely to turn up in the hands of organized criminals or terrorists. EK-9
The TEK-9 is a very dangerous weapon that has a nasty reputation on the streets. The entire front end of the weapon is a compensator making the weapon easy to control while firing one handed. M67 GRENADE
The M67 Delayed Frag Grenade has a timing fuse that detonates three seconds after it’s thrown. TRIPBAR
The TripBar is an assault rifle based on the AK-47 design. Although it doesn’t pack quite the same punch as the AK, it has a higher rate of fire, making it more of a spray and pray weapon. UNP .45
The UNP is an extremely reliable and lightweight weapon that has precision accuracy and low recoil making it relatively easy to handle, even for less experienced users. Like the MDS family, the UNP also fires from a closed bolt position. The large caliber and small size of this weapon makes it a very deadly and effective weapon that can be used in many different hostile situations. USAS-12
The USAS-12 shotgun was intended as a special purpose, military or special operations close combat weapon with extreme firepower. UZI
The Uzi is a compact, boxy, lightweight submachine gun designed in the late 1940’s. SHOT DEFENDER
This shotgun is designed for a personal defense role and fires 12gauge shot through a narrow choke. The narrow choke prevents the shot from spreading out too far so most of the shot will hit a single victim out to the weapon’s effective range. The advantage to this is instant incapacitation due to the powerful force transferred from a close group of projectiles. The victim is usually thrown back quite a distance, which is very intimidating to any other enemies in the area. SSP 90
A unique appearing weapon, the SSP 30 90 has a 50 round clear magazine loaded into the top of the weapon. Its ballistic performance is vastly superior to the 9mm round. This weapon fires from a closed bolt, which allows for perfect accuracy while firing semi auto. Its ergonomic design makes it easy and comfortable to fire and helps add to its deadly accuracy. STAVA SG-76 HBAR
The SG-76 is based on the AK 47, stretched and strengthened to accept much longer and powerful rifle ammunition. The trigger also has been limited to semiautomatic fire only. MB-150
The MB-150 is the standard IPCA sniper rifle. It has the ability to fire specialized darts that can be triggered by the user at any time.
Gadgets EDSU GOGGLES
Electronic Device Sensing Utility (EDSU) goggles allow the agent to detect and interact with hidden devices. FIRE EXTINGUISHER
This standard industrial fire extinguisher is used for putting out small fires in specific locations.
PID
Personal Illumination Device (PID) is a visible light source, which allows the agent to traverse and search dark areas. IR GOGGLES
Infrared (IR) goggles allow the agent to detect heat signatures, potentially revealing hidden targets. NV GOGGLES
Night Vision (NV) goggles amplify dim light and allow the agent to discern targets in the darkness. RTL
Rapid Traversal Line (RTL) allows the agent to make a two-way traversal over short distances. AGENCY ZIP LINE
Agency Zip Line (AZL) allows the agent to make a one-way traversal over great distances. At designated locations, equip the device and shoot. The line deploys automatically.

CHARACTER DOSSIERS

LOGAN, GABE
AGENCY HEAD Gabe’s incredible military career started in 1983 in Grenada, where as a young Lieutenant he risked his life to rescue a pinned down squad of GIs. Gabe quickly became a highly decorated Special Forces officer, and eventually was recruited into the highest ranks of the black box government operation known only as the Agency, where he worked cases all over the world. Gabe was instrumental in uncovering the early stages of the Syphon conspiracy, even risking his life to prove that his superiors were involved. Eventually Gabe was placed in command of a new Agency, reporting directly to the president. Gabe is honest and fair, but does not suffer fools. In this final Syphon Filter case, Gabe is pushed to the edge: he is obsessed with finding Mara, and the man she really works for, at any cost. Gabe is close to Lian Xing, his partner of many years, but something in his past prevents him from showing emotions easily. He never has much to say, letting his actions speak for him.
XING, LIAN
PCA , CHIEF OF OPERATIONS Lian was born in Kashi, China, to a wealthy and educated family. She was appointed to her first government job when she was only seventeen, and began working for the MSS, Chinese secret service, before she was twenty. Lian specialized in martial arts and is a master of Pai-Lum, using both hand-to-hand and throwing knives. She was sent to Afghanistan on assignment in 1987 to investigate Russian involvement in the uprising. She ran into an ambush in Kabul and would have been killed except that an Army Special Forces commander, Gabe Logan, stepped in and saved her. Ideological opposites, they became friends and over the course of the next 10 years Gabe convinced Lian to defect and work for the Agency, after convincing her it was a better tool for ensuring world peace. Lian has been Gabe’s partner since the earliest days of the Syphon conspiracy, and placed her own life on the line when she was abducted and subjected to medical experiments that made her a carrier for the virus. More than friends, Gabe has risked his life for hers more than once.
LIPAN, TERESA
DEPUTY CHIEF OF OPERATIONS Though Teresa grew up on an impoverished reservation in Arizona, her grandmother taught her that she could do anything she set her mind to. What Teresa wanted to do more than anything, was work in law enforcement. Admitted to college on a scholarship, she graduated from the University of Arizona early, and was recruited into the ATF. In 1994 she was sent to Montana to help investigate a militia operating on Paradise Ridge. She stumbled into a conspiracy involving imposter FBI agents and was almost killed when Gabe Logan saved her life. He later recruited her into the Agency, explaining that they worked to prevent the kind of abuses she had witnessed. Later she was sent to South Africa to investigate the medical work being done by Mujari, and they became friends. She refused an order to murder Mujari and steal his work, choosing instead to go into hiding. Her undercover work after Gabe helped fake her death, was instrumental in bringing down Vince Hadden, the number two man behind the Syphon Filter conspiracy.
STONEMAN, GARY (”STONE”)
AGENCY COMBAT CHIEF Stone is a hard-edged combat veteran who has seen action in almost every American conflict since Vietnam. He led units in Libya (81), Grenada (83), Panama (89), Iraq (91), Somalia (93), Bosnia (94) and Afghanistan (01). Stone cultivates his image as an old warhorse because it masks his true identity: a covert CIA assassin. Recognized early on for his extraordinary sniper skills, Stone was hired by the CIA to work as a contract hit man. Using his military persona as his ticket to hot spots all over the world, Stone has been helping spooks fight private wars for over 30 years. Stone met a young Gabe Logan in Grenada, where he helped rescue a platoon of GIs who had become trapped behind enemy lines. Stone likes to act like a country bumpkin, but targets fooled by his gruff exterior always pay with their lives.
MUJARI, LAWRENCE
ASSISTANT CHIEF OF OPERATIONS Mujari was first exposed to the Syphon Filter virus in 1984 at the Pugari Gold Mine in Mpumalanga South Africa, though at the time he had no idea what it was. Fighting against apartheid, Mujari had led a team into the mine to free enslaved workers, only to find them dead of a mysterious illness. Years later, Teresa is sent to South Africa to find samples of the virus, which Mujari had kept and was using as the basis for medical research. Eventually Teresa would be ordered by the Agency to kill Mujari, she refused, and went into hiding. Mujari was instrumental in curing Lian after the agency had exposed her to the virus so they could use her as a source of serum.
HADDAD, ALIMA
FIELD RESEARCH SPECIALIST Alima was born in Kuwait but has dual citizenship because her father was a US citizen who worked for an oil company, her mother a Kuwaiti who worked for the US embassy.
Alima’s parents were killed by Iraqis during the Gulf War so she came to the US to live with family in Detroit. She is a trained Marine military pilot and has flown dozens of missions, mostly non-combat transport work. After she joined the Agency, Stone became her mentor and friend, almost a father figure. They have bonded in a way that is unique to Stone, who is usually distant, hiding behind a façade of good-old-boy bravado. While currently a pilot, Alima is working on other Agency ratings, hoping to fulfill her ultimate goal of becoming a full field agent.
