Confirmed Combined Assault for PS2

[therussian17]

Nice! Zipper finally found out after 3 SOCOM titles that multiplayer SOCOM will bring in tons of money!

At least, I hope

It will be offline multiplayer, right? If not, the people at Zipper are just complete dumbasses

Maybe its just me but, I expected them to reveal alot more information about this game during E3 then they did, which was practically nothing. Last years E3 they had like 20 videos of Socom 3 and a ton of Screen shots and dozens of articles. But there are only a few videos and pics and a couple articles and still no word on the Socom 3 Downloadable map packs "Mid-May"? hmm...I was hyped about the maps in March but now its just, Whatever...

Socom 3 was brand new when compared to Socom 2, that's why everyone was nuts about it last E3.

Socom: Combined Assault is just an expansion of Socom 3. Yeah, it's a new game because it'll now offer online co-op, and new online maps, but it's built on the same core as Socom 3.

Just like when Socom 2 came out. It was just Socom 1 with some extra maps, a couple of skins, and some new guns. Same thing with this new one.

If you check out the Playstation boards there is a great member there called Blymik, he was at E3 and asked Zipper and its developers when are the map packs coming out and what was the delay. The reason was that they wanted to make the purchasing as possible even though the maps were ready and playable before E3 they said that they are now going through a glitch checking period. I don't really care for the maps anymore, but I am giddy about the new game because it seems to have improved on all of Socom 3's **** ups.

From some of the shots you may have seen the new rocket/missile launcher. To me it looks to big to be an AT-4 unless they have drastically changed it or it could be a ground to air mobile missile laucher. Does this mean Socom 4 will have helicopters? This means if it does the maps would have to be heaps bigger but as i have heard from many people, base the helicopters on the map, no the map on the helicopters!

[PipeBombGK1]

Zipper has said that they have made the maps smaller and the new rocket launcher will have 4 rockets per each launcher, two HE rockets, and armor rockets.

So let me get this straight. You said that Zipper stated they made the maps smaller, yet added helicopters. So currently, if it takes a truck about 40 seconds to cover the full map from one side to the other in Killing Fields it should take only about a fraction (maybe 8 seconds) for a helicopter at normal speeds AT THE CURRENT SIZE MAPS!. With that being said, a copter on smaller maps would take what 4-5 seconds at most to cover a map. Something doesn't add up there. Either Zipper information is not 100% correct or your information is bogus.

In all of the shots you see that bright green looking AT4, you're seeing a M3.

It is a new rocket launcher, and will likely replace the AT4 in the game. This new launcher carries different types of rounds, similar to how the 203 attachments do. Details on this weapon can be found here.

You can see the name of it in this video, as proof that it is not an AT4.

No one knows for sure that any aircraft in Socom Combined Assault will be useable in traditional multiplayer. It's very likely that the helicopters are merely targets in the co-op and offline missions. Don't be so quick to freak out and assume that S:CA is going to turn into Battlefield 2.

Zipper has not said a thing about adding aircraft to the game, it will never happen in multiplayer.

I just got my gameinformer in the mail and they did a small 2 page write up on the new game. it has a few new pics that are not on IGN and they show a new gun that i cant make out what the hell it is but ill leave that to the gun experts. also it appears the M8 has a 100 round clip as well as that new gun.
