It is awesome and addicting as hell. Citadel is the a very laggy map. Nades bounce like crazy.

The British Special Air Services (SAS). They got a cameo in Socom 2, and were the 2 guys in black suits you could play with online. "Reaver" and something and else..

EDIT: Better link.

It is very annoying when it happens.

Sometimes the mic will go completely dead on you, and you won't be able to hear or talk, but you can see that others are talking. Sometimes if the host has a poor connection, they die completely. The most frequent problem is that they cut in and out, like you won't be able to hear someone talking for the first couple seconds they're on the mic. Then other times you'll be able hear people that can't hear you, and then there'll be someone us that can hear you but you can't hear them.

It's annoying, and happens a third of the time, and seems to be due to lag for the most part.

EDIT: Check out the Socom III Media section to get your fix untill tomorrow, and definitely spend tonight playing Frostfire, Vigilence and Desert Glory for hours. You'll miss them in a month or so.

A third of the time?! That's loads. Damn.

That kinda stuff happens on my mobile phone all the time, drives me insane.

Ok, got the game today!

Notice what you mean about the mic thing: one game couldn't hear or speak despite seeing other people speak.

There is a map kinda like a big version of rat's nest. (Which I hate - considering its HUGE, took me 5 minutes each time to find someone in a respawn with about 25 people in.

Weapons/attatchments are great

Like the new convoy mode

Like throwing grenades whilst moving

Vehicles are good, but the novelty of having them died down pretty quickly.

Overall it is a better game - BY FAR.

BUT, socom 2 just seems more fun to play, desert glory for example, you can camp, or you can rush, if you rush you find people within seconds, it just seems on SOCOM 3, rushing is impossible really, due to not finding people for ages.

But i suppose i need to play it bit more, (only played three maps)

Am dissapointed though, partly due to the fact that I was thinking it would be out of this world.

Roll on Socom 4! (maybe)

So, like in socom 2, is there a second server universe for just Europe or did they add servers in one big universe? I haven't been online yet, and don't plan to until later...

From what i have seen, basically same as socom 2. But there is an EU briefing room as well

After you get a feel for the maps, you learn where the best places for action are.

For instant action, play small maps. Killing Fields, Citadel, Antenora, Tidal Fury and Fault are all super instant action as small maps.

On large maps spawn point 2 is always the closest to the enemy, it's always right by their spawn point 2.

You can definitely rush in S3, I do it every game. Just keep moving, and don't give into the urge to snipe.
