crossroads has an extra tower/ring only on the 32 player version of the map. Im pretty sure the 16 player version is a BIT more spacious in comparison to the S2 version

sorry about double post

I agree with you there. I got this suspicion when they put up a poll on the official socom confrontation blog asking the community what their favorite map was (and im pretty sure almost/all of the map options were in socom 2). Remember how there were originally only meant to be 5 maps on release? Maybe they will choose 2 more from the poll to develop in the near future or maybe as downloads after the release

S2 Blizzard was the single best map to use a 16 on, hands down. You can rip that thing like none other on Blizz.

The 16 is usable on about every map equally, except for FH.

I just got the EGM today. Thinking about scanning all the pages here. But didnt somebody say they did that on the PS forums already ?

[murqq]

i think you should. i saw some "camera" shots of it (which were unreadable and the pictures were all blurred). scans would be good lib.

I don't know if this will be the game to get me to go over to a PS3.

I really don't like the idea of the six-axis total control over the amount of tilting. That could really change the game in my opinion. Everyone would be camping behind a corner with just barely enough poking out to be able to shoot. All you would see is the barrel and part of the head of the player. I don't know if it's such a good idea.

Maybe I'm worrying too much about it, though.

The one thing I wish the SOCOM series would go back to, is the objective based maps. That was awesome! Extraction was Extraction, and that's it. Demolition was Demolition, and that's it. Maybe do that, but add the ability to add Respawn and Suppression on the maps as well.
