I saw their post at the PS forums the day it was released but forgot to post it here.

Funny thing is, the day the patch came out, we had a glitcher on the team...



Taken with a cell phone, so it's not the best of quality.

You sure helped us out, once again, Zipper. :rolls eyes:

He might have been on before the patch came out?


Any way, back on subject, I think Zipper might still pay a bit of attention to Socom 3/CA. At least until the Socom(s) they're making comes out (2008). Since Slant Six is working on Confrontation for ps3 and I think the name is Tactical Strike for psp, and Zipper is supposedly working closely with them, it'll give Zipper either time to work on S3/CA or to work on the Socoms they're supposed to be working on. I hope they work on the ones yet to come out.

We were promised three map packs: the HDD maps from Socom 2, the group of classic maps from S1/S2.. and a set of all new, never before seen maps. When this was first announced I was mostly excited about the third map pack. Would anyone else buy these maps if they proved to be solid and playable?

In order to be online you had to of downloaded the patch. I heard the servers kicked everyone when it was being put up. He had already downloaded the patch.

Slant Six is indeed making Socom: Confrontation for the PSP. They also made TS for the PSP, which already came out.

Zipper is NOT working with them on Confrontation. Zipper is making Socom 4, schedualed for a late 2008 or early 2009 release.

Confrontation is for the PS3 and Tactical Strike is extremely different than the actual SOCOM series. It's more than a strategy game but I think it's boring because you don't shoot. On the other side, I was hoping the maps were gonna be free but guess not. I wonder how many people bought the map pack #2.

[Scuba Steve]

You know what I meant, Marv.

I've only seen a few rooms of MP 2. It doesn't look like many did.

You obviously either stick to one server or don't play too often.. because theres three or four MapPack2 rooms in almost every server.

I love a lot of the patch fixes.

Several Zipper didn't mention the blur on the scopes, the no shot text, and one word BACKBLAST.
