I noticed that there was a bit of a debate going on in this thread in regards to SEALs using vehicles during their missions so I thought for this week I could tell a story. To be honest I can’t clarify 100% one way or another if SEALs use vehicles in combat the SEAL consultants that I have spoken to are very vague when talking about their missions (they are top secret) but I have heard a few things. A while back two SEALs consultants came to Slant Six to teach us about teamwork in combat situations as well as procedures and tactics utilize in the field. Listening to them was interesting and enlightening as well as painful as we were taught our lessons while playing Airsoft. Let’s just say in the video games I play I am a very good shot but in real life the SEALs consultants that we worked with were champs not to mention very good sports.

It was during these sessions that one of the SEALs consultants told a story about being in a convoy. He was the driver of a Humvee at night while wearing monocular style night vision goggles. He explained that the difficulty in this task was the combination of the loss of depth perception (because of the NV goggles) while following another Humvee while also keeping an eye out for any unusual activity. He didn’t enlighten us to whether this was a training exercise or a mission but you could tell there was an element of danger in his task as he mentioned continually scanning for any signs of land mines and driving bumper to bumper at high speeds while in night vision. In general his story was less about driving vehicles and more about how adaptable SEALs are in order to perform under any conditions and in any situation.

So that’s my contribution to the debate, take it as you will, but regardless it still doesn’t change the fact that there will be no vehicles in SOCOM Confrontation.




Have a great weekend guys,

SealTeam-6 out

there is a need for people that are interested in buying the game other then an update on a message forum. discussing very little game progress other then somebody dropping in to say hi socomers.

[Scuba Steve]

What's the use if the game won't be released for several months?

[NJD4 BamF]

Exactly. Vids aren't needed right now seeing as the game is months away. I'd rather have them working on the game instead of putting their time into things that aren't of great importance.

[sublime8022]

Any news scuba? It's been a while since their last post.

[Scuba Steve]

Nope, they didn't post an update yesterday.

[idubkiller]

One question from me...

Is there going to be account verification??
(hope not)

[Scuba Steve]

At the moment, no.
