SOCOM: Confrontation comes packed with seven different game modes and it's extremely crucial to know what the objective is for 
each mode before hoping online. I'll go ahead and explain all seven different modes and how to win each one whether your a Commando or Mercenary.
Breach
In Breach mode the Commando team must destroy a target within Mercenary territory. They must breach walls blocking routes to the target and plant a bomb. The Seals win by destroying the target or eliminating all the Mercenaries (no re-spawn match). The Mercenaries win if the time runs out, they defuse a planted bomb or if they eliminate all the Commandos (no re-spawn match).
Control
In Control mode each team must try and mark five key points around the level. The team that controls all the points, controls more points when time expires or eliminates the other team (no re-spawn match), wins the match.
Escort
In Escort mode the Commando team must escort three VIPs across the map to one of two different extraction zones.The Commandos can win by extracting two of three hostages or by eliminating the Mercenaries (no re-spawn match). The Mercenaries can win by eliminating the Commandos (no re-spawn match).
Extraction
In Extraction mode the Mercenary team has possession of three hostages, in which the Commandos must get possession of and escort to one of 2 extraction points. The Commandos win by extracting two of three hostages or by eliminating the Mercenaries (no re-spawn match). The Mercenary team wins by eliminating the Commando team (no re-spawn match).
Demolition
In Demolition mode a bomb is placed in a central area of the map and each team must retrieve the explosives and destroy a target of interest. Each team can win by planting a bomb and having it destroy a target, defusing a planted bomb or eliminating the opposing team (no re-spawn).
Suppression
Suppression mode is basically a team death match. If re-spawn is off, the team that eliminates all of the opposing team or having the most player alive when time expires wins the match. If re-spawn is on, a team wins by reaching the kill limit that is set or having more kills at the end of the round.
Elimination
Elimination mode is a no re-spawn team death match. The team that completely eliminates the opposing team wins the match. If players remain on both teams when time runs out the round is a draw.
