It should matter how you kill someone because if someone kills you by glitching, aren't you gonna get pissed off? If it's a clean kill, then that's ok, but it should matter how you died.

Glitching... what?

And about the videos... yea they are kinda shittty, but it isn't the final verson. I'm sure there are bugs to be fixed.

What's wrong with the video's? Even though I don't like the fact that you can drive tanks and pilot choppers, it still looks like a nice facking game to play. From the looks of it, this is definately going to blow SOCOM 2 out of the water!

Oh, and the guy in the first video when the SEALs team is running around the house shooting the terrorists as they come out... he can not aim worth a piss. :P

I was talking about how the SEAL driver fell out of the boat, how a guy lagged out or something in the first video, and whoever said something about the invisible gun. I was just saying that it's not the final verson and they're obviously still working on bugs and stuff. I'm excited about S3 as well and I'm glad you've changed your tune a little about it too.

If you look carefully, they guy jumps out of the boat to land in the water and another guy took the piloting chair. I mean, it doesn't actualy look like him jumping out of the boat but he doesn't lag out of it.

Also, I never said anything about an invisible gun. :P

Yea I think the SEAL in the boat got killed or something and someone took his place or whatever.

And about the lagging out part, it was after those two Humvees went by and a bunch of SEALs were shooting at a terrorist who lagged out.

And I read someone had an invisible gun but I didn't see it.

...but anyways, haha, my point is it's a beta version of the game so no one get their panties in a wad..

(Before I make this next statement, if it was already said, then just tell me. I'm kinda tired and didn't read the WHOLE IGN thing.)

I know you guys said that you can turn off vehicles, but do people that play on maps with no vehicles get seperate ranks than people on maps that DO play with vehicles? For example, say Mob doesn't play with Vehicle maps and I do. What happens if I rumble with kills because im a vehicle hog and I get all ranked higher and all that and yet he's actually KILLING people and yet he has a lower rank because he's not dominating with a certain thing like I am. I think that's what he's saying. Whether you can turn them off or not, there are still going to be vehicle maps, and that means people WILL hog them, and ranks WILL be incorrect due to people using these things.

The 32 people on a map surprises me also. Yeah the maps will be bigger, but there WILL be times where at LEASRT 8 people will be together going at it, ALONG with other things going on in the map, so im not really saying that there will be a LOT of lag, just that you are probably going to hear just as much about lag than as you heard on Socom II.

Everything else sounds great. My PS2 is messed up (which is why I haven't been here ina while) and I have to get it fixed before it comes out!

I don't think it should be different cause you're still killing people. It shouldn't matter how you kill them, just as long as you kill them.

That wasn't the point. I wasn't talking about HOW they were killed and it effecting things in terms of "Getting higher ranked if killed with this or that." I was pointing out that people were saying "You can turn the vehicles off and that will solve the problems" yet chances are there will be rooms WITH them, and its going to be a bum rush to get them. And then, chances are people are going to get MORE kills with a vehicle rather than someone running around. Which means, people who are in vehicle rooms and people who get to vehicles faster and use them more, might have a better ranking than others just from the fact that they are joining vehicle rooms and looting on the kills, rather than a skilled player getting kills by skill, but not as much as the vehicle hog.

Which means the rank system might be all weird. Maybe with stats like headshots, they can be like "vehicle kills" or something.

I think if they keep it, real to life, it won't be that easy to aim/shoot from moving vehicles. Unless they are going pretty slow or a pretty flat surface. It'll be more of a covering type fire. Keeping the other sides heads down, till you get to where you are going. A bouncing truck will put your aim point, all over the place. You'll really have to get it together, to hit your target. Sure, there will be some lucky hits. But not that many. I could be wrong. We'll just have to wait and see.

Magnum Force · 05-18-2005

Well in the videos, they guys were shooting pretty well off the boats and trucks. But I mean, they're not done designing SOCOM III, so Zipper could possibly be fixing this to what Marble Man said could happen.

edge001 · 05-18-2005

yes, there is a seal with an invisible gun...

watch the boat video - after they go under the bridge, he zooms in a little bit through his scope and you can clearly see that the seal right in front of him is holding a gun, but the gun is not there. and the after that the dude with the invisble gun does some type of laggy jump off the boat.

my point in posting this originally is that if the preview videos are this crappy, then who knows. these videos are there to make us want to buy the game - so they would naturally put up the best video and best quality video they had... and this is it?

Magnum Force · 05-18-2005

Wow edge....do you realize how much work there still needs to be done before SOCOM III comes out? They are still working out the bugs. And if you looked more carefully or read people's posts more carefully, you'd realize that the guy go shot and "fell off" the boat. Go back and look.

edge001 · 05-18-2005

i relize there are some more things that they will work on. but if it is truely going to be out by august it seems like there is a lot of work to be done - that video is pretty bad, you must admit. and there is no way that guy gets shot. he just jumps off the boat like he is hopped up on something. (i'm not talking about the driver - although that looks a little suspect to me too...) i am talking about the guy infront of the character that we are watching - he has no gun and hey completly looks like a spaz when he jumps from the boat.

i am not getting too excited about S3, yet. that is all i am saying... it seems like a lot of people on this thread have put on blinders and want it to be great so bad, that they wouldn't even admit it, if they were a little disappointed.
