Major Problems with game (technical)

[Op. Red Dawn]

Ok, my socom disc doesnt have one scratch or smudge on it. Yet the music in my game skips quite frequently. Also, after playing a few rounds, one round i will join late and my crosshairs will be 50 times bigger than they should be. I dont think its my ps2, becuase it has no problems running any other game or anything, and i dont think its my internet because it has always worked fine with my router and what not and i never had problems. Now, out of the blue, my crosshairs are huge and my music skips. And to top it all off, my mic stopped working. HELP!!?!?!?

i have never heard or seen what you are talking about.. maybe you have a defective disc?

the music does skip sometimes just like in socom2 but it rarely happens in socom3... the oversize crosshairs sounds funny :) but i have never seen this int he game....

Take the disc back and try and get a new one... and see if thats fixes it.. i cant think of any reason why a defective PS2 would casue somethign liek this, it has to be the disc

i just checked the ingame msg boards and i see a couple ppl who have the same problem... but of course zipper doesnt monitor those boards so they have no meaning.

the PS2 is obviously not defected. I have experienced a defective Demo disc that came in the mail in some magazine.....I just simply called the people, told them what was wrong with the disk ( it wouldn't play some of the demos) and then they sent me a new one within some time....see if you can do that with Zipper.

May be time for a new PS2. I had one about 4 years old....and they start to overheat because of dust accumulation. I bought a new one, and my troubles went bye bye. Check with your local EB games and see if they can provide advise on cleaning, there are some kits out there. I got a good deal on a new one, so I didn't bother.

my ps2 isnt that old, and this is my second one. But if it was my ps2, why is it only socom 3? this doesnt make any sense

its not your PS2.. it would not cause the crosshairs to be super large.. its a programing flaw int he disc.. take it back to the store and tell them it didnt play and get a new one

The Large Crosshairs Glitch is only a glitch, not a flaw in the disc.

I used to post here, others have this problem.

is it also a little glitch thing how my music skips online and offline? It just doesnt make any sense

yeah that i know is a glitch.. i havent seen the big crosshair thing yet so maybe it is also a glitch?
