Classes of people in the SOCOM universe (For the new guys)

[10-Man-Killer]

Dude, I shot that guy in the head like 5,000 times with both of my guns, then I put a grenade in his backpack, and to seal the deal, I rammed a pipebomb up his ⊊ and he turned around and shot me with a dart gun in the face and I died! That's total bullŠhit!

Im class #1... I dont b!tch about F90 or machine guns, dont really care if i die, and i just play for the fun of it not rank.

I am the same way I like playing with people I know and meeting new people and just having a good time that is what socom is about for me. The only time you will see me in a rank up room is if my friends are in there. I know I will never come close to #1 in the ranks and I dont care. I give props to alot of guys like 40-caliber and justice4all ...they are very talented and can put a whooping on people. The only thing I complain about is spawn campers that expect me to sit there and let them shoot at me for 30minutes. Oh and I got really pissed off when that douchebag stole my first login name.

i only have about 900 kills so far and 130 ranked games played and I am an admiral with a 1.53 kill/death ratio but i for one have to agree- you shouldnt care about your rank that much---

I have no problem being the first one running down the opponents hill in tidal fury or the first one to jump over the fence in water works etc.

I am not a rank up admiral and yes i am not the best player in socom- but when you have to develop strategies to get a good rank, you are an artificial flag grade (as i call it). If you have to camp, never rush, never take charge and lead the team, then why even play.

There is no better satisfaction than running through the door on killing fields small where the %#:*ies are camping the spawn and taking down 3 of them with one clip of the mk.48, as just one example. I play this game normally with no fear and i have a lot of kills over deaths for the simple fact that i have been playing socom for a while and have gotten quite good.

I get sick and tired of good players with 4 stars like myself being called rank ups. Some people actually earn there stars.

But i do have to call the original post a little ignorant because there are times when you shoot someone five times in the head and then they turn around and kill you, and then run off with blood all over there head. WE do not get angry because they killed us, we do not get angry because our rank just went down, this is why we get angry:

Have you seen Battlefield 2? for ps2? the maps are about the same size- THE GRAPHICS ARE 5 TIMES BETTER AND I HAVE NOT SEEN LAG ON IT ONCE! that is why we get mad. This is the 3rd game in the series, we just expect a little better from a dated engine.

HAHAHAHA sooo true but ya i always try to play fair and not ***** at people for killing me (though i obviously do get frustrated in my head but who doesn't??

the only time i got pissed was when i played on a pistols only map. i was put on the seals team and when i joined the game i all of a sudden realized that that was a stupid idea considering the fact that the terrorists were all using the glock 18 but other than that i've applauded the 1337 players

Nice try, but you're wrong. I know that there can be bad lag, and I also know that the hit detection can be a little off sometimes, but it is not this bad (not even in 32 versus 32 rooms). It could be a possibility that the person was glitching, but I don't think there's an "invincibility" glitch out there.

If you are up close, you missed. If you are far away, you are shooting farther then the range of your current rifle. Plus, there is such a thing as grazing the head. If you are a little off, the hit detection will think it's a shoulder shot (you see this alot in snipe rooms).

The intent of my original post was not to discredit any "true" thing that might happen during a game (i.e. bad lag/glitching/etc...). The intent was to show that there are people out there who will try to make up any excuse to "save face" even though it wasn't the server's/opposing players fault.

I'm with mOB on this one. I'm normally class 1. I laugh things off. But if anyone talks smack to me, I usually let them know that they will die with their anus in their mouth.

[Biggie_MDK]

sgt. miller i totally agree with you, i had a clan mate that would never admit that he got owned since socom 1. Every time he dies it's becaus of lag lol. Yeah i do agree with you there, i just thought you were talking about EVERY time someone complains about lag.

I wasnt hatin on your post and yes the lag is not that bad, but sometimes i play at my clanmates house where we have 7 ps2's set up and i watch their screens and they watch mine- and in maps like boneyard and crucible you will see people walking around with bloodstains in between their eyes. But i am probably the only person who realizes that while the other team lags: SO DO YOU at the same time so you can't really argue that much.

[Sgt-Miller]

I give you that one, because I have never done the whole 7 PS2's set up at a house. I've never run into that problem before. The worst I've ever seen was when I would tag a guy in the head, and he would run about 5-10 more steps, until it seems like he "suddenly remembers" that he has to die, and he falls down.

I'm too lazy to set up that many PS2s...lol.

[Biggie_MDK]

"suddenly remembers to die" yeah i love that.
Yeah and i wasnt sayin that the lag was from the ps2's in the same house cause its not its just that i used that as an example to have proof of seeing someone get shot in the head and then run around like a mosquito bit him.
