Socom Confrontation (PS3)

You're right, however almost no one actually reported the beta problems.

Wasn't the s3 beta invite only throught the GAP? (Gamer's Advisory Panel?)

I remember getting an invite but didn't notice it until after s3 had been released

Yes, I agree with you on that! Most people received the Beta just to brag to their friends. I doubt anyone actually took the time to report problems.

i havent read all the replys yet for this topic but from what i have read i have some concerns myself:

1. for people who have super slow internet like me how will we play this game?
2. bring back the vibration function i mean come on without that the game will be way too wierd cause so many people rely on it to tell when they are hit or not
3. i only hope that they fufill all the promises they make

there are some things in this game that i am excited to test out

1. the ability to adjust your cam and if i remember right you get to use digital cam
2. the ability to fully customise your weapons like real SEALs
3. new developer in which i am excited to see how they did on this game

1. for people who have super slow internet like me how will we play this game? -
Your internet can't be that slow I don't think. You need Broadband to actually run any Online game. If you have DSL/Comcast/Wow or any other that is similar it should run good. If you do have a slow internet, it will probably run just like any other game.

2. bring back the vibration function i mean come on without that the game will be way too wierd cause so many people rely on it to tell when they are hit or not - Yes, the vibration was pretty good on SOCOM. But, I always had my vibration off. For some reason I had better aiming without vibration, and it felt more smoother to shoot. This was probably because I was used to the vibration function in the previous games. I guess we won't be seeing it in SOCOM:C.

3. i only hope that they fufill all the promises they make - I think they will fulfill all the promises they made. From watching the videos, it seems as they are bringing back what we want. I can remember several things Zipper promised and never fulfilled. The map pack that is now available took a long time to be released. They were telling us that there would be a rank reset but it took them so long to do it. Now, they are promising us this new map pack which I don't think will ever be released because they are working on a new game. I am happy that Slant Six took over, I just want to see what they can do.

Hi, I'm new here. I am a HUGE Socom fan, and can't wait for this game to come out. The more detailed version of Crossroads that they are teasing us with would be enough to get me to buy it if it was the only initial map. But, if they succeed in making the other 4 maps fun, this game should be unbelievable.

I, probably just like many of you, got absolutely addicted to SOCOM 2, hence my name, and felt how I do now about Confrontation, about SOCOM 3. I was overwhelmingly disapointed. Besides the wide *** maps, and the lame camping, I couldnt use the controls I had gotten used to, :P yes, I'm talking about sureshot. But it's what I was used to, so it wasnt fair.

For Confrontation, I havent played a SOCOM game in so long, that it probably wouldnt even matter if they brought back my favourite controls or not, but if they did it wouldn't hurt, because they are what got me to become an exceptional SOCOM player.

I think I speak for all SOCOM lovers, when I say that we miss the days of the Chicken coup in Sujo, whipping grenades off the ledge in Enowapi, hiding the hostages in the building right next to the extraction zone in Mixer, and scrambling like a mad man when your buddy that was guarding the other entrance got killed and the hostages were about to get massacred. Or how about dropping the bridge on some fools in Croosroads and bragging about having 20 kills at the end of the round when half of them were from the bridge? haha, so many good memories from that game. And there's so many more that I havent even mentioned, like charging through the tunnels in Frostfire with the automatic shotty, and knocking SEALs back like receivers catching Vicks superhuman throws in his Powerade commercial. Man.... what a game.

Now that I have reminisced on for too long, I would jsut liek to say that, I dont care if this game takes up half my day for a year again, IT WAS SO DAMN FUN! I hope the developers can see the light, and return SOCOM to it's Golden Days.

There is sure shot in CA, but you can't strafe 100mph and auto-m16 anymore. So, unless those were the only two reasons you used SS, you should be fine with CA. As for S:C, if there is sure shot, once again you won't be able to strafe 100mph or auto-m16.

SocomAddict91 · 07-20-2007

Maybe' Ill get Combined Assault to hold me over until Confrontation then. And yeah, those two thigns were great, especially when the opposing clans bitched about the practically auto M16, but no I just want the sureshot because I got used to it. I tried switching and I was terrible.

oxfordfreestyl · 07-21-2007

The only thing I hated about sureshot was the fact that if(and 99.9% of the time when) the person was using the M16 automatically they claimed it was becuase of "skill", whereas there is no skill in sureshot m16 shooting. I dont know why, but pretty much any time somebody says something like that, or camping the hostage room, or camping in general, take any skill I get fired up.

Subject 17 · 07-21-2007

If you don't use the trick with sureshot controls (hold x tap R1), it took the same amount of skill to use the M16 as Precision shooter.

And Don't buy CA to tide you over for confrontation, after all, confrontation is just there to hold us over for SOCOM 4.

Man, what is SOCOM 4 gonna be like? *creams self*
