6 has dug their own grave with this new patch how can they be so off. and don't give me its a beta they had more then enough time to figure the bugs out with this game. for a company that is only making socom online. its not looking good to me so they extend the beta until Thursday big deal. what good is it if you cant even get online to play i keep getting these windows. popping up error cant connect to servers. you have been disconnected from servers. so now what another patch to fix these problems with a release date less then 10 days away.

So, is the game actually worth playing right now? I mean, I really don't have much time to play the game, should I waste the time I have to play on SOCOM? Or just play a different game? I see that the game has gone downhill since they have been releasing patches and I don't want to spend time downloading the patch then take more time to get into a game if it's not going to be worth it.
They fix one thing, they break 5 others. Add to that the madness that will be trying to play online during launch week, and you get a big ****ing no thanks from me.
I've heard that deleting your saved game file (as in your character set up and that stuff, not the 2GB game) gets rid of the error messages which are running rampant. However, a few players have said it ony worked temporarily, while other have things better than ever on the beta.
Just played on 1.5 and it ran smoothly and relatively lag free. Definitely not liking the reload process getting stopped while jumping. Anyone that constantly watches my Socom videos knows that I like to jump when reloading.
If all goes well the next couple days looks like it will be Socom over Rock Band 2. But even if I do get Socom I'll play it on launch to see how the servers are holding up.
I think it's safe to say that I will not be playing SOCOM until at least next weekend. I'm going to save myself the disappointment that I will probably discover by playing on launch day with the overwhelming server issue. I'm banking on things being calmed down by Friday or Saturday and hopefully the game will deliver a consistent lag free experience (this is my biggest concern. If they fix the lag issues, the game is PERFECT in my opinion).
