If that was true, if Zipper didn't care unless we paid more money, we wouldn't have any patches. There would be far, far more problems. Zipper does care, but some things are more difficult to fix that you imagine.

well im not saying they dont care entirely, its just that if you notice it most paying online games dont have as many problems because they get to it faster, but with socom it takes them longer just because they have other games to worry about to.

i know, i know, its all been said n heard b4, its free, its this, its that, its blah blah blah etc etc etc..
and do you know what this reminds me off...
when we were all young, playing "war games" - "cowboys n indians" etc, when ya shot ya mate, he didnt die, then there was the following screamin match... "i shot ya" "no u didnt" "yes i did" "no u didnt"....
need i say anymore, guys n gals, its just a game dudes, theres always gonna b the1 who refuses to die, and in socom(s) theres gonna b the 1`s that cheat, its just the way shyte goes, and its the only way its gonna go

just hoping us brits get the intl servers to access the u.s. when s3 becomes reality, we`ll show u guys a trick or2.....

youd need a NTSC ps2 if im not mistaken... and ive seen some brits on intel already. i wonder why it dosent work for everyone?

nice comparison, but seriously it doesnt matter about rank at all as long as you have stats to prove that ur good

FLAW · 05-13-2005

That's what I'm talking about. Why do you guys care about rank? Anyone who has been on Socom long enough knows that rank doesn't mean anything. It's all about stats baby! My stats are the only thing I care about.

But...anyone who aborts games b/c they had a bad game and they don't want it on their stats deserves to be kicked in the nuts. My stats are nothing special but they are legit!

Anyway...hopefully the rank system will be more cheat proof in S3. There will always be cheaters, but hopefully we can at least get a somewhat legit system so that rank will be more meaningful.

I have acually been looking at that for the first time everytime I go on for about a week now. I just saw this post so I decided to post this here. If you have been monitoring it, you would know about Jedi_Killer or Killa whatever. But ONe day I come on hes #1. I go on the next day, hes not even one the charts, but the next day hes #1. If you really think about it that has to be some rank up action right there.

People care about a ranking system because it gives you some idea on how good you are, the ranking system on socom has loopholes so of course "rank doesnt matter". A legit ranking system is all we want, even the original ranking system that was based on only your opponents rank is better than what we have.

Were not going to get anything close to decent until probably Xbox360/Ps3 and we might even need faster connections on average. Theres no way the current Ps2 could handle server/console interactions after every kill to determine the two players stats/kill ratio/win ratio/current stats and all the other BS to actually figure out how many rank points you should receive for killing them).. especially when their not hosting the servers and depending on us with weak connections to do it. If the original Xbox is the "poor man's computer"(700mhz, 64mb ram), then the PS2 should be in ur attic at this point.

Im gonna refuse to pay anything to play socom3 online at this point because theres nothing they can do with the current hardware to make it worthwhile.

P.S. Like i said before, all of those "client side checks" like half life 2 has will not be happening until atleast socom 3. They cant make a patch small enough for us to download to make that possible, we cant even download maps(Which Zipper said they don't have the capability to do with the PS2) so why would any of you expect a major change like this?

I totaly agree, zipper is lazy and all they want is money, there doing this to get ready to send out socom 3, they just want us to hate socom 2 and thinking of buying socom 3 thinking there wont be any glitches, thats what they did in socom, they allowed all the glitches to use gameshark and when the game came out there were no glitchers, and they wanted socom players to buy the sequel
