socom confrontation

last i heard it was november 07. cant wait regardless
 
yeah then I should be getting my PS3 in november 07 then... either way I'm stoked too, I hope the new Crossroads lives up to the old one.
 
quick update if you did not know..
the map pack #2 they been promising since last year is now out and available for dload.
it has 4 classics with extras.. desert glory, blizzard, bitter jungle and the first jungle one, name escapes me.
im checkin this out right now.. think most socom vets may like it !
only thing, if u r on ps3, you need either a flashdrive or a psp to dload the content ><
 
For combined assault? And wtf is up with no frost fire! That map was, and still is the best map ever. DG and blizzard are good too though, but nothing beats FF. Got a link to the download?
 
Major bump. Pre orders at gamestop get you beta access that is starting Sept. 1st. Picked one up last night, been jonesin for some good socom action and hopefully confrontation is back to the good days. Socom 3 just wasn't as good as 1 or 2 imo. So hopefully the gameplay in confrontation is more like 1 and 2 with better graphics.

Just saw this on the wiki too:

Slant Six recently confirmed that two other classic SOCOM II maps, "Desert Glory" and "Frostfire" are to be included as well.

best news I could have read, by far my 2 favorite maps from any socom games.

Couple other cool things:

-Slant Six has no plans at this time to include vehicles as it wants the maps to be more "intimate" instead of larger styled maps of SOCOM 3.
-The game will support a party system, allowing for players to form a team with their friends and join an online game.
-Other new features include a melee knife attack for close-quarters combat as well as a new sprint feature.
-Clan support will also be in-depth, with team tournaments and clan ladders rewarding top players with different weapons and game items. Users being able to access and manage their clan from SOCOM.com.

I used to be the socom Fiend. I have played since socom1 and am more psyched about this release than any other game ever. I am going to pre order mine tomorrow so i can get the beta to play around with. This game looks all too promising.
 
I picked up a few beta codes for this. Can't wait to try it out.

lol sup nooby chunks, i may be a wow junky but i'll still pop a cap in your ass on socrap.. besides its 3rd person not first =P Scrub
 
Betas out, just redeemed my code and am Downloading it. Have 2 codes lefts if anyone needs one. PM me.
 
Downloading the beta here too. PM if you need a code, two left.
 
Same as the guys above. PM me for the codes.
 
Got a code off Deathchild, this game doesn't really like my internet connection at the moment, but it might just be my internet. Gameplay seems to be pretty good, feels like Rainbow 6 basically but maybe a little smoother. Lots of people online that are very good at it - feels like a lot of the hardcore Socom userbase are there.

Without a leveling system like COD4 and Rainbow 6 Vegas, I might have trouble getting into this too much, but maybe the clan system will overpower all that.
 
It's winnin' me over because when you shoot people they die, unlike CoD4 over Xbox Live lately. Might just trade it in to pay off the rest of this.
 
Its fucking awesome... except the load times and lag are pretty shitty right now. It is however only the second day of the beta and they addressed lag issues on their site/blog and that it should be good by the end of this upcoming week. Other minor complaints, like my laser sight seems to turn off for w/e ever reason, and I'm not a big fan of the lean (want the d-pad lean back) but otherwise I'm having a blast owning people.

The funny thing about the lag is that even though its bad it still feels better to me than MGO. The load times between lobby and map and side swaps are just shitty though.

Oh and they need a host force launch and or a like 30sec max lobby time cause sitting in the lobby is fucking boring.

I don't think the PS3 and PC version of COD are like that, but I haven't really played COD4 since MSG4 came out.

I wouldn't doubt it. It use to be fantastic on Live too, little to no lag at all. Now the game is a piece of shit. It went from bein' a top 5 game for me to complete trash in just few days. I kept hopin' they'll fix it but given all the good stuff that is about to hit, I could really care less.

Raider, I really haven't had much lag but I'll agree this game definitely feels 100x better than MGO in every way and has way less lag. However, the MGO team has an excuse of the game bein' a "second thought" type deal. The sticks are a lot tighter too and that made all the difference in the world to me. I hated the sticks in MGO. I do hate the six-axis use, it's not the least bit user friendly and it just gets in the way. If you use the ACOG scope, prolly others as well, it'll completely take you out of your scope's zoom and ruin everything you just scoped for. I look for them to fix that, it's just horrible. Whoever came up with that idea should be fired and black listed from the industry.
 
Oh man it feels good to be back rapeing in socom. Just played a Demo Respawn and went 95-50 with 24 assists and had 7 Bomb Plants and 1 Defuse in 15 rounds. My team was absolute shit for the first 4/5 rounds on terrorist but then acouple dudes joined later and the teams evened out a bit.

I'm not having any problem with lag in games anymore aside from the occasional couple second freezes. Loads are getting a little better, but that could be just cause its late on a sunday too, idk.

I'm liking the STG on terrorist and the SFCR on seals. M4 is good to but it shoots a little quick and i think the SFCR seems a little more accurate. Rocking front grip and Acog scope on both.

Very good game, even better once they fix all the glitches and make the load/lag perfect. Wish the leader boards worked too but no dice.
 
I'm usin' the AK47 on the Mercenary's side and the M14 on the Commando's side. I use them both with the Small Scope and god it's awesome. Good up close and can snipe almost as well as a sniper, especially with the M14.
