That was the most beautiful article I have ever read. I totally forgot that vehciles could be used to creat more objectives and missions. But the only sad thing is:

That's because SOCOM 2 was basically an expansion to SOCOM 1. SOCOM 3 is SOCOM 3... not an addition to either of the first two.

Well I know that, but I'm just saying....Foxhunt with a vehicle would be sick....I had made a post earlier about ideas with vehicles on Foxhunt, but I can't find it.

OMFG!!

Make it Your Way
If all of this talk about vehicles is rubbing you the wrong way, Zipper has provided some options. When creating the game it's possible to completely take out the vehicles so that everyone is running around on foot.

GOOD!

Lots of land and water, now I can be a real river rat!

Getting Interactive
To make the whole system of the clans and rankings even more user friendly than before, Zipper will be introducing a new user interface. This will include a message center, ladders, the leader boards and a couple of other options. The message center is a place for players to incorporate their friends list, view a clan list, use e-mail, send a PM, and send invites to other players. Zipper is also mulling over the possibility of connecting all of these features, including the leader boards and ladders, to a website so that players can use these functions even while not in the game itself.

NICE!

OMFG!

Yes!!

Quote:

Each clan will only have one challenge for them at one time so as to avoid clans getting a huge backlog of challenges on their list. Once the challenge is accepted, the game will set up a private room will be set up for the challenge that is exclusive just to those two clans. Once the challenge has been done, the room will disappear and the ladders will be changed accordingly.

Bloddy brilliant idea!

Water Battle video=chaos!!

Personally, I was intrested in the Clan information and new interface above all else It seems that we will not need that stupid gamebattles 3rd party crap anymore! Ingame clan ladders and lots of them means more wars and tons of more fun.

The new interface with much more options makes it seem sort of like playonline with the email and pming and all. However, I loved that and this seems great too. I love the fact that you can see stats of the player in greater detail down to the weapons he/she uses most and their stats with each weapon.

I also believe the maps expansion or reduction depending on players and the array of customization options will make online gameplay so much better. I cannot wait to see what else Zipper has in store for us. So far so GODLY.
