Online Specs and Details Discussion

Man, some people are so ignorant, I mean the game isn't if out yet and people are crying like little girls.
DId you see Socom 2 beta videos? They looked like crap, and this video looks better than those beta videos, in 3 months, they will do A LOT of tweaking with graphics, guns, accuracy, recoil, map adjustments, server adjustments and so much more.
This game offers more of everything to eevryone. Don't like 16 vs 16 with vehicles? Don't go in a room like that and find a no vehicle old fashioned 8 vs 8. It's all up to you, nobody is making you play with vehicles, you choose what you want no matter if you're not host, simply just find another room.
And with 2 years under Zipper's belt the servers will be much better and since the number one complaint about the last Socom was lag and since they took in consideration of the little things we've asked for, do you honestly think they won't work on eliminating lag?
Anyone who says this game is going to be crap is completely ignorant, this is Socom-3.com, not gamebattles, grow up or go to that site where you can unleash the internet flamer in you.

It says you will be able to "jump" into choppers. Does that mean you will be able to fly them your self, or just take it to another location. Since the maps are so large. Since SEALs don't fly I wouldn't think so.

I hope they dont put 16 vehicles in just one map that will suck a$$. I hope that there are like just 3 for each side.

i just hope the windshield of the humvee and choper arent bullet proof cause im gonna snipe the drivers first! hopefully the chopper will just crash and blow up, killing all the people in it and the ones it lands on. LMFAO

They better make it so if I shoot a ****ing gas tank in a humvee with my .50cal, it blows up....they better....

The reason socom 1 & 2 lagged so much is because socom 2 was just an update to socom 1 and they used the same servers thats not going to happen in part 3 come on you guys give zipper some credit the lag will be fixed and if its not dont worry when the x360 & PS3 come out servers will be much much better and we will have to pay for it like x-box live

WoW......I am so excited now!!!!! Vehicles won't matter cuz you can turn them off and on. The best part of this game though is that you can have clan ladders on the game. NO GB!!!!!! with refs helping the clans they like more get out of a loss!!!!! It will be awesome.

Another Sweet feture is the e-mail and message boards in the game. You can also do all your clan functions on a webstie on your comp. NO more turning your ps2 on just to send someone an invite that you met on the computer.

Shooting a vehicles gas tank and having it explode right away is alittle unrealistic. I have seen a vehicle get shot in the tank before (my cousin is a weapons tester and he took me to his work one day) and it takes a bit for the gas to leak out and for a spark to ignaite the liquid. Somtimes it doesn't even catch fire. He has blown up some right away, but it still doesn't mean SOCOM III should be like GTA: SA. And it'd be pretty difficult to shoot that little square where the tank is when the vehicle is moving at about 50 mph.

I kinda get what mobscene is saying about the Halo comparison. In a way, it kinda gets me mad.

(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 think its going to be a great game. I just think it is so funny how people are flaming it already, it hasn't even came out yet. I think reguardless of how much people complain about it already, they will still go out and buy it, just so they can come here and talk about it. :)

Gotta love the forums.
