I don't know why mOB is overreacting so much....I like the ideas Zipper came up with. I think it's going to be very fun and I can't wait 'till it comes out.

See, mOB...what is it with you, Mr. Glass Is Half Empty?

lol

The only thing that REALLY scares me is the fact that people can use helicopters. and i hope you will be able to snipe through the windows of the trucks and helicopters. it would be cool to see someone fly a copter and get shot through the windsheild....fall out of the helicopter to the ground.. and see the heli plumit to the ground sending it into flames. LOL i have quite an imagination.

I thought it was just land and sea vehicles.....nowhere did it say anything about helicopters....

So I won't be able to plow a tank through Shadow Falls? This game has already disappointed me!

read again then cause i damn sure read the word "HELICOPTER" as well which is a sweet surprise.

on the halo comparisons slow sown a lil, the difference here is they are "real world" vehicles that are used every day in real life wars so tanks will be slow, other vehicles wont be as armored(deuce and a half ,etc) and like they said theres some parts you HAVE to get out of your vehicle to get to which is a nice touch.

also i will play some games with vehicles at first and if i dont care for it as much there will always be the "NO VEHICLES" rooms that will be abundant im sure.i am a lil dissapointed in the "no old maps" but then again could give reason to revisit socom2 every once in awhile for nostalgic feelings if you ever wanted to.i also like how they said depending on the player count the room will fit to them accordingly (32=huge room, 24=big, 16=normal socom 2 size or so, etc) that is a great idea and a great way to cut down on camping.this game i think will be everything we could ever want at this time and whats best they listened to us and made it to where WE can choose how each game is and whats in it etc.

the ranking sounds good as well (im still sure we will have to self police it again with glitchers, punks,etc which i dont mind)once again i think this will be a great game and something needed to help combat the xbox launch.

Wow, now this is going to be fun. ALthough I hope it's not that hard to destroy vehicles on foot because I don't want to be at the mercy of tanks when on foot and have to resort to using a vehicle to destroy them. But I think Zipper will handle that and as for the maps though, it'll be hard to see them go. But Zipper did a great job with maps. I mean the maps that are awesome are the new maps they made, and the maps for S2 compared to S1 are much betterso they know how to build great maps so I supppose they'll be no problem.
I'm blown away at the 32 players part, that would be insane. The issue of lag comes up but the number one thing people complain about is lag so they woud definitely work on that. I mean they read the users ideas/complaints and based off a lot of their things from that and lag is number 1 so it's no doubt they'll work on that. Man I can't wait, btw for reference how many maps are in S2? But it could also be a good thing intrducing all new maps because that gives us the lovely newbie feel that we all loved when we all first started :D

I am overreacting because SEALs are not trained to pilot choppers or tanks! Boats, yes, they drive them around all of the time. A humvee is acceptable but a ****ing tank and chopper!??!? First of all, at the start of the round people are going to be going hardcore rush wh0re style after the vehicles which already makes it gay, secondly... SEALs dont pilot them!!!! Argh!

Deathmonger · 05-14-2005

Personally, I love what they're doing but I have't heard anything about helicopters, only tanks and etc.( On a separate note, Seals are trained in flying, and in all enviorments, just looked it up. SEAL means SEa-Land-Air with emphasis on Air, ie. helicopters)
I hope people bum rush for vehicles, because I'm going to specifically target vehicles because 3-4 people are in them and it would get me mad kills. RPG to the boats! The vehicles are going to be either too powerful(doubt it), balanced or plain useless. I'm leaning towards balanced to useless because all it takes is one person to blow up a boat or throw a nade on it to kill all the people in it. The game looks awesome, and I can't wait, I want to hear more about the guns and the purposes of the special equipment/attachments.

You are such a n00b... They specialize in jumping out of planes in the air... not piloting air vehicles... Stop thinking that because you watched the SOCOM 1 SEALS documentary that you know everything about it.
