One of the new features for the Cold Front DLC is weapon specializations.

As you get kills in the game you will acquire CE points which are totalled up and shown to you on the top right at the end of the map set in the stats screen. You will only get CE points for kills by using a weapon that is a part of the primary or secondary skill slot. Come back to this Specialization menu to change specializations if you want to try a different class of guns or to check your progress. If you change specializations you will lose all progress towards the weapon you are working on.When you come back you will see a meter and on your Primary weapon you will see a gun towards the end. Reach this point to unlock one of the specialization-specific weapons for the class of weapon you are using.

200 WINS ON COLD FRONT MAPS
For this objective you must have 200 WINS on cold front maps not just games played. Make sure that when entering a medley you enter one that begins with CF and not SC to access Cold Front maps. The Cold Front maps are:
BLIZZARD
NIGHT STALKER
VIGILANCE
ENTRAPMENT
UPRISING

LAUNCH 100 MISSILES IN ARMS RUN
These two are definitely the hardest two objectives in the DLC. As a Mercenary you must get to one of the three mobile missile sites and hold down the button to arm the missile. Then the countdown of 1:30 begins. You have to try to defend your missile site until the missile launches. If the Commandos pause your timer you have a certain amount of time before the timer resets to zero to get back to the control panel and continue the countdown to launch your missile. Once you have achieved 100 missile launches that you started or resumed you will achieve this objective.

DESTROY 100 MISSILES IN ARMS RUN
These two are definitely the hardest two objectives in the DLC. As a Commando you must get to one of the three mobile missile sites to prevent the missile from launching.You can only destroy missiles that aren't in the process of a countdown. If one isn't in the process of a countdown run up to the control panel and hold the button to fill the meter to destroy the missile. Once you have destroyed 100 missile launchers you will achieve this objective.

250 MOUNTED TURRET KILLS
One of the new additions to this Cold Front pack are mounted turrets. They are strewn throughout the maps in strategic locations, usually close to the Commandos or Mercenaries spawn points, and there are 2-3 turrets per Cold Front map. To use a turret walk up to the turret and press . You can use night vision on the turrets, and you can enter first person turret mode by pressing on the d-pad. Collect 250 turret kills while playing Cold Front DLC to acquire this objective.

25 MELEE KILLS
If you have been playing SOCOM already then it appears that the DLC will be retro for this objective for the trophy, as I have noticed that I had already acheived 100% even before the launch of the pack. If you don't already have 25 melee kills or are new to SOCOM, to perform a melee kill you must click the button when close enough to an opponent to perform a knife attack. THIS DOESN'T GAURANTEE YOU A KILL!! So don't do it then turn away. Some people like to wear heavy armor and require more than one melee kill to die. Make sure your opponent is down before moving on to a new enemy.This can be performed on the new Cold Front maps or on the orginal SOCOM maps.

Here is some more info I found on the SOCOM site while thinking about dropping my SMG specialization:

Let's get this all out in the open as we are all propabaly tired of explaining. What star means.Primary specialization= Gold Star and what it means to you= required for trophySecondary Specialization=Silver Star and what it means to you= required for trophyRead: it means that you have completed the specializations
This may not be exact, but you catch my drift... Primary - YOU MUST USE THE WEAPOin tN CLASS YOU CHOSE TO EARN THE CE POINTS

• 100 points for custom Attachment
  
• 400 points for unlocked weapon
  
• 600 points for Gold Star
  

Secondary - YOU MUST USE THE WEAPON CLASS YOU CHOSE TO EARN THE CE POINTS

• 300 points - Specialized Attachment
  
• 450 points - Silver Star
  

READ: You should be Silver, Gold star with a specialized weapon with 600 CE points

(1) Kill with Primary or Secondary Specialization class selection =2 CE points(1) Assist With Primary or Secondary Specialization class selection= 1 CE Point The points are then transferred to that bank of points for the class. (it is split if you use both) Also
as a side note the star also represents completion of the
specialization and boosts all of the stats slightly in that class you
chose. You
should really take into consideration your secondary more than ever.
The stats are boosted, but a bi-pod isnt that great of an
attachment to tout out loud in a ranked room. Consider pistol laser as
it DRAMATICALLY boosts accuracry for all pistols. I believe the 226
silenced with the blue laser is about 1 knotch below full for
accuracy. Thats a better incentive in my opinion. SMG as a secondary grants
you a silencer and that too isnt that great when all smgs are
silenced. I would either go for front grip on shotgun and assault
Rifles or the laser. It's really nice too when you cannot see the
impact of those grips...Right? Custom Attachment When Earned, Is Applicable To All Weapons in The Class Assault Rifle Front grip to be used for any assault rifle (M16, M14, AK too)SMG Silencer Pistol Blue laserSniper Bi-podMachine Gun Scope which has the low scope reticle with 4x and 10x zoomsShotgun Front grip to be used for any shotgun (wow even USAS12) These attachments can be used by all guns in that class and by BOTH sides Merc and Seals ******************Now for those thinking new weapons spoiler alert****************** Primary Unlockable a.k.a. 'Chick Guns' Assault Rifle Alice Camo HK36 SMG Motoko Camo F90Pistol Gladys Gold DE Sniper Tilly Camoflaged SR-25 Machine Gun Gloria Camo MK Shotgun Vera Camo USAS 12 These guns can be used by BOTH sides Merc and Seals This also seems redundant and a FAQ:Switching classes resets slider to zero unlesss you bump second to primary which it takes half your points away. Also, NO
you cannot collect all the weapons. Hence the blog from the Online
team about making your choice wisely. The points are earned from
completion of ranked games and doing well. It shows you points earned
after the completion of the rounds. MVP and winning obviously makes it
higher and yet 6 kills and dying 8 rounds doesn't give you much. This
is also measured how well you perform for the team. (planting bomb,
collecting control points, no tem kills, etc)








17) Weapon Specializations/Progression Weapon
Specializations/Progression is a new feature that Slant Six added to
SOCOM Confrontation with the Cold Front DLC. This feature makes it so
that players can choose a Primary and Secondary "specialization" which
basically allows the player to pick two types of weapons (EX. Assault
Rifle and Pistols) and increase their "abilities" with those gun types. By
picking these "specializations" players gain the ability to unlock
certain items for their weapons that they chose to specialize in. When
a person picks a weapon type for their Primary specialization that
player can earn an extra attachment (EX. Custom Front Grip) for that
gun type, as well as earn an extra unlockable gun for that class. And
when someone picks a "Secondary Specialization" they can also unlock an
attachment for that type of gun but they can not unlock the extra
weapon, since it is only their "Secondary" specialization. Here
is an Example. Let's say someone picks an Assault Rifle for their
primary. By doing this they can unlock an attachment which is the
"Custom Front Grip". Also that player can unlock the Assault rifle
called the "Alice". Also lets say the person chose their Pistol as
their secondary specialization. By doing this the player can unlock a
"Blue Laser" for their pistols. But they can NOT unlock the special
pistol (The Gladys) because they only have it as their secondary. The
attachments that are unlocked are more powerful than the other
attachments that are similar to them and the guns that are unlocked are
stronger/modified versions of other guns in the game Here is a list of the Attachments and Special Weapons that can be unlocked for each type of gun. *Assault Rifles - Attachment: Custom Front Grip - Weapon: Alice (modified HK36)*Sniper Rifles - Attachment: Custom Bipod - Weapon: Tilly (modified SR-25)*Sub Machine Guns - Attachment: Custom Silencer - Weapon: Motoko (modified F90)*Machine Guns - Attachment: Custom Scope - Weapon: Gloria (modified MK. 48)*Shotguns - Attachment: Custom Front Grip - Weapon: Vera (modified USAS 12) *Pistols - Attachment: Blue Laser - Weapon: Gladys (modified DE.50)
