1.0 Introduction

Thank you for downloading Navy SEAL/s: Covert Operations! We are confident that once you appreciate the depth, attention to detail, and design effort we have poured into NS:CO you will want to understand the game and its rich suite of features in-depth. 

 

NS:CO play features are not complex, difficult to understand our use, but our approach is original and game-play may feel awkward if you do not understand the games interface or features. Once understood NS:CO is enormous fun.


If you are in a rush to play we strongly recommend you at least read the Quick Start Guide or the TASS™ - Abilities System section of this Manual because not understanding key features described there will likely offer you a frustrating or disappointing play experience.
