Topic: Host power, Game start up
Information: Hosts have the same power as they did in Socom2. The host force was a bad decision on Zipper's part and they wouldn't add it back into the so far greatest of the series.

Question

Since the maps are a lot bigger and they have probally more open spaces. Is it not a little bit 2 easy for the snipers now with all that attachements?

Question

How long do you have the beta in your hands? When did it came out. And is the official release still October?


I got a lot off questions offcourse cause i live in Holland/Netherlands and it takes a while when socom3 comes out here. If i asked some questions that are not allowed pls Delete them in my post.

^^^ wow cool down on the questions there.

Question

Traxxx: [playstation board]
L1 is to toggle between primary and secondary weapons. L2 is now how you talk. circle now brings up your weapons menu. R2 now toggles thermal goggles on/off. The rest of the buttons are the same.

Topic: Sniping
Information: I feel the snipers have more options now. There is a lot of open ground and a lot of detailed foliage. I cannot say about the ghillie suit since it isn't there for this map, but I am sure that will be fun to play with as well. I don't find sniping in Socom2 or Socom3 easy. Socom2 was fun but the lag made it hard. You had to lead the target like 20 ft sometimes. Socom3 there is little to no lag online so it will be easier to hit the targets but there are still going to be points of the game in which sniping will be difficult.

Topic: Dates
Information: Beta was shipped in early August. The first beta kit arrived on the 2nd. I recieved mine on the 4th. August 9th, today, is the last day of arrivals. The beta period ends September 9th. So as you can see it was set to be exactly a month, but a few got here early. The official release date has been set in stone for October 11th, 2005.

Topic: Controls
Information: Well, the controls were released awhile ago. There are a few topics around here that would have them for you. L1 is indeed the only toggle button. L2 is basically circle now. Everything you did with circle you now do with L2. R1 is still fire and R2 toggles nightvision, not thermal. Circle is the weapons screen (the old R2). Start and select are the same. R3/L3 buttons and sticks are the same as well.

Question

Thanks for the information, you do know the date for Europeans? Or is it gonna be like A World Release or something like that. Cause sometimes a game comes out in Japan and 5 months later we get it in Europa :( .

Question

With the amount of attatchments that you can take, your encumbrance is increased (if that makes sense)... does this slow you down to the point where it is impossible to move, or does it only slow you down very very very slightly?

P.S Thanks for the topic, c0mmand3r. I have learned a lot from this. Also, thanks to anyone who can answer this. That is if you can answer this. :?

Topic: European Release
Information: I am sorry, I haven't heard anything about the Euro release date. You will have to check with your local gaming stores I suppose. Usually you guys don't get the games until after Japan and Asia, and they are usually just a few months after us.

Topic: Encumbrance
Information: I cannot really tell you more than I have already said on character movement and encumbrance in this thread. All I can tell you is that everything applies to your encumbrance. Some affect it minutely and some greatly.

If this can't be answered thats ok, but I think it should be able to.

Question:

How is the Hostage inteligence? Like in Extraction, when you are near the extraction point in s2, they stop on the borerline between the rescue point and unrescue point. Do they actually follow you? And is the hostage speed any faster in s3?

Question

Hey Comm, does the Beta come with a Lan feature? My friends actually still waiting for his Copy and I was wondering. You should be able to answer this question, in contrast to some of the other questions asked.
