NEW SOCOM

[MadSativa]

So the new SOCOM comes out in the upcoming holiday season. I have sceen all the footage provide buy testers and what SONY has released, I can safley say it is the next generation of SOCOM. Poblems have been fixed and many new things added. the given adds are new stuff that has been out for a while but improved, such as destructable environment, wepon site problems, etc. However their are new things that just blow my mind, for example, rolling around when prone, when in crouched position you can now jump dodge out of those gernandes, kills are now very graphic such as body parts blowing off and such ( ok so the last on is just hearsay at the momement. What are you gamers thoughts on it, G4 has already stated it is gonna be the next generation of online first person shooters. (Personlaly I knew this for a long time now, just disapointed it didnt make the previouse release dates) The graphics, the game play, the battle, it is all part of the beauty in this game. I cant wait, I just sold my PS3 for an absurde price, but I am gonna get another one on releas of the new SOCOM. I was just palying the old SOCOM all the time anyway figured id sell it whill the price is still worth more than what I paid. If some of you havent seen the new clips and shot of the new SOCOM let me know Ill find some vids and pics for ya.

i fuckin love socom i played 2 and 3 a shit ton i still play 3 sometimes i never got combined assault tho. But ya when the time comes ill probly get a ps3 for that shit

[letsburn06]

There is a new socom again or are you talking about combined assualt?

[affasd]

nah there coming out with socom 3 for ps 3, wont be out for a while yet

[MadSativa]

It is sopposed to come out in september. It is not Socom 4 (or 3 because 3 is out ) it is the new version for the next gen. It does look sik, it is all over youtube right now. I cant even get started on the new things in the game. But it is gonna be insane and hopefull no-cheaters. Their is a new cheat detection system and tornament referee system in place. Check Socom.com (http://socom.us.playstation.com/default.aspx)for daily updates and votes for the game. For a while their it was gonna be like the wack ass COD4 untill the plyers spoke up and voted, now it be more like the previouse Socoms just insanly better. I cant even start on how insane it will be fore the Socomer addict.
Why didnt you get Socom CA(its $10 now)? Their are over 30 maps to pick from and the new map packs are all free. Thats about 20 maps that you havent played since Socom 1 or 2. The afterhours map plyed at night is sick now, it is raining and your fighting in the lightning and under the neon sighns. (on a side note the muzzel flashes in dark rooms in the new game are insain)

oh not to burst your bubble but the new Socom is all old maps with the exception of about 2 or 4. it is mostly a building plat form for the next gen, but what a beautifull platform it is. all maps are slightly changed Crossrodes has new versions and Urbanwastlands is on its way back.

The public BETA is coming out on the 1st of this next month. those of you who are ready for the next game of the year, it is almost time. Also need to mention the new Zipper game M.A.G. release date unknown but it is 256 warriors battleing all at once all the time, in the same room.

[Reefer Rogue]

I've been waiting for this since socom 2.

G4 said it was 1st person shooter? They're stupid.

It's only online, so no crappy single player to waste their time on.

Beta release is Friday

[Dream of the iris]

Do you guys remember the oil platform level from Socom 1? That was sick as hell. Are they bringing that one back? Also, what's everyone's SN going to be for the Socom game?

Some games allow us to make new ones, so if that's possible, mine'll be

If not, then my PSN ID is: Dreamoftheiris.

Does anyone know the exact date of release as well?

[MadSativa]

^^ the oil platform in S1 is call FoxFire it never went awa it was in Socom 2 and 3 and CA and now it is supposed to be in Confrontation too.

I think it was originaly a Socom 2 map though, but I could be mistaken. The last socom had 32 levels just for the online play. that was 2 games put togeather and 3 map packs that were free. The new game is gonna have 9 maps with 7 new maps, I think, its all fuzzy right now.

We are BETA testing now have been for close to a month, I think it is sick, their are lots of problems but by releas date which is coming up in a couple weeks, I hope they will be fixed. THier was a new Patch today infact, I am downloading it now, lots of little changes have been implementied IO cant wait to see. The first 2 days of the BETA it was practicaly unplayable, now it is not so bad at times very good.

For those of you who are not playing it, the game is gonna be insane. A new map in a big map setting has a bilding with many floors strait up, and a detonator button at the very top. The button blows a bridge or sumthing at the bottom. So it is a race to the building then a race to the button, then a race to kill all. That game on Control sounds sick. ALL games, extract, breach, suppression, elimination, demo, etc. are thier all but CONVOY, thier are no vehicles in this game and supposably will not be until SOCOM 4, or MAG wich comes out before SOCOM 4. LOTS of fun I cant even stress, most call of duty players dont like it, but cross over eaisly, then leave after short playings and diengs, no computer assisted killing in this game, never will be.

[bluntblaze]

im in on the beta on ps3.. good game. never played socom before but it seems really fun. only problem with the beta is that it takes soo long to join a game. sometimes ill watch tv while its loading a match. and when i come back its still loading!
overall, good first impression.. i cant wait for the game :jointsmile:

[Reefer Rogue]

I'll be getting the game on Oct 14th, i'm really optimistic from beta reviewers after patch1.40. Can't wait.

[affasd]

no single player you say? ya thats good cause i was always at a disadvantage in multiplayer with out the unlockable ghillie suit and especially in socom 3 without the iw/stg and front grip. Except it was kinda good cause i was used to not having one and id pick up a stg with front grip and just rape people. actually not like it makes a damn difference casue i dont have a ps3 and wont have one for a long time probly haha

[MadSativa]

The beta is extended to Thurs. New patch out this week, Games is out 6 days after. Get ready SOCOMERS cause it is near, and some things are hopefully gonna get fixed with this next patch. Might take some time to get used to but if your used to playing shooters and next gen games, youll probly adapted eaisly. Some Metalgear and call of dooty implemnts in the controls also some rolling wich helps in getting in those prone snipes.

[Reefer Rogue]

I dunno when the EU release date is, i think november, but we always get screwed. Have fun playing.

[kapnobatai]

i can't wait to play this blazed later..

[kapnobatai]

is anyone else having issues getting this thing going?

[Dream of the iris]

Yes. So far I'm not impressed. Looks like they might have released it prematurely. One thing I can't figure out is when you create a game, it won't let me control it. For example, I can't just start the game and everyone is waiting around getting bored. Like there's no fucking way to get the game you created to start! I know in most multiplayer games, if you create the match you have control over it. You are the moderator of that game. But I don't think it's the same in this game. It's really lame. I just got it yesterday, so I hope I can figure it out or I'll be pissed :mad:

Nobody creates Frostfire respawn matches! p

[MadSativa]

This game is off the hook, I cant even start on how, sick it is......... and to the question are u the moderator, In SOCOM their are no moderators, theri is a host and even the host does nuthing but make a game and get kicked out when the game feels it needs a better connection for host. For those that play SOCOM you will pick it up quick, the servers and the game are having big probems to the point where at times it is unplayable. Servers have crashe already due to the amount of people logging on at once.
It is funny to see people talk crap about the game on SOCOM.com, but the only thing I am pissed about is GamesStop had a preorder, first release, so we all preorderd at gamesstop. On the 14th the day it came out GamesStop would not sell the game, Yet Target, Wallmart, GameCrazey they all did, sell it on the 14th the realses date. everyone else sold it on the 15th, the day after, and some are even holding peoples preorderd game for some reson and distributing it acording to them.
You will see, if your a COD fan you might not like it to much but then again I have meet some COD fans in thegame and they say they will never go back to COD again, others not so much. As for me SOCOM is the only game I play, and soon will be playing for cash, it is in line for profesional gaming, such as counterstrike. Alot of gamers have been waiting for this for years, personaly I have been playing SOCOM since day one back in 01 or 02 when it came out, and ever since I never went back to anyonline shooter.
All the others like COD, Rainbow, etc. I like the first player but the online gets old realy quick in those environments, and beatig those games in one player is to easy usualy (the exception is Metal Gear, first person is hard and a masterpice of gaming) , to the point wher I can rent it and the week long rental period, is enough time to beat two of those games, such as splinter Cell I bet that in about 4 hours, and I only fired like 5 shots, well it wasd alot more, but seamed like 5 shots.

Any way for you SOCOMers, your gonna love it.

[Dream of the iris]

Yes, I gave it another shot and damn. I dunno, that first day just sucked, but as I got used to it it all came back. Def like the other Socoms. Any news if those jungle maps will be coming back? Or the Eastern European ones?

[MadSativa]

The camp factor is way high in this game, It takes a good team to get close but once you do they all die in a matter of seconds. Campers just die shot in the back of the head. The Master Chief in charge of SOCOM relations said it best, "Shoot, Move, Think, Communicate". I dont nesesairly follow that order, but when I get put down I alwasy think which one should I have done, and camping is never one of em.




Any news if those jungle maps will be coming back? Or the Eastern European ones?

I dont know which maps your talkin about, theirs lots of jungle maps, and their are new maps with a eastern european feel. Such as the map with lots of bulding projects and in a blown up war ridden area. The one I like is the ruins of greece, it looks like the pantheon, and the parthanon is on the top of the level, Foxfire is good, I dont like night maps to much though, I dont get to play the game as much as I like and Im still getting the maps down. So in the night maps, im like a sheep walking around with a bullhorn.

I did hear that some map packs are planned to be released in the near future, I have not heard anything officialy though. Most just talk from fools in the game, and most of them say dumb shit like wepon map packs, which is dum because all the wepons are on the game already. You just have to join different factions to get em. I kinda dont like that, I wana use all the wepons, but you have to be SAS or SEAL or PIMA, you cant be all, I just want all the wepons at my disposal

[Dream of the iris]

The one I'm talking has a windmill in it, if that helps. I think it was on the second or third game. Can't really describe it better then that.

[kapnobatai]

Yea all though I am still having problems with the game freezing and not really being able to connect to many channels, it's really good. They just need to shape the game up and it looks like it may be up there with COD and halo. :stoned:

[Dream of the iris]

Let's get more usernames.

PSN ID: Dreamoftheiris

I propose we start a match with just cannabis.com members. :D

[MadSativa]

The one I'm talking has a windmill in it, if that helps. I think it was on the second or third game. Can't really describe it better then that.

Im not sure the only windmill I can remember is Harvester in Socom 3, that was one of my favorite maps by the way. Big map in a respawn that map was dope, boats, humvees, teqnicals and a map for snipers, was awsome. And as a small map, it was one of the best ranked 8v8 I thought. But my Fav. mao of all time I think is Aftermath at night, It is raing and their lightnig, but you dont need your night vison becaue the neon signs light everything up.

My name is as it is I got some people on canny.com on my friends list, just only played with one though.

[Dream of the iris]

Yeah Harvester was the name. I remember this one that took place in a forest. There was train tracks too, lol. That was great. Nice place to hide out and snipe. Your cameo really was effective there.

[MadSativa]

^^ that was back woods, Everyone hated that map , but I liked it. The battle was strange but very good. Alot of people would hide in their guillies in the high grass or behind logs, and snipe. Problem was if you were able to crwl into the high grass they could not see you either. I have been in battels crwling through that shit for minutes on end looking for the hidden snipers, and end up killing the snipers from about 3 feet away. You just had to stay quite watch your sorrondings (such as that rock is moving) and hit head shot every time with a silenced wepon. Oh and idiots wwould hide in the water fall, so just throw gernades at the water fall is easy pickings.

[Dream of the iris]

Man, that level was great. I hope they get new maps soon. Kind of getting tired of these already lol. They should just bring back all the old maps eventually.

I also remember one that was in Socom 2. It was in a field. Def Eastern Europe. Lots of hills. That was one of my faves.
