BABY JESUS DOES NOT APPRECIATE THIS BRAND OF HUMOR!

Oh my head.

Or the beefy remains of it.

Hope the next patch fixes the first one.

Still my favorite online game to date.

You need to play more online games.

 

[Cold-Steel]

You need to play more online games.

I play plenty.

But I run a clan on SOCOM. Amazing the difference a group of friends can make.

There's a SOCOM 3 patch? I didn't even know. You can save it to your Memory Card I take it? What did they change? Let me know! Maybe me mic will actually work now.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

I was about to say it works, but this round my mic went out. DAR!

 

[ToyMachine228]

What else was changed? They seriously need to do something about the grenades. Like 80% of my deaths are from grenades and not skillfully thrown grenades, just grenades thrown from the spawn over a building to our spawn or something like that.

The SOCOM 3 1.2 update addresses many issues including the following:

* Resolved a hardware compatibility issue that was causing disconnects.

* Resolved an issue with "slow" DHCP servers that prevented some players from obtaining an IP Address before timing out.

* Resolved several issues where the player would be stuck with default weapons and equipment in game instead of the weapons and equipment they selected.

* Resolved the Clan Challenge issue where the wrong team would receive a forfeit when the other team does not show for the match.

* Updated libraries to resolve some of the voice chat issues. Some voice chat issues still remain and will be addressed in a future update.

* Resolved several stability issues with ranked and clan games.

* You now get credit for kills when you blow up a vehicle and the explosion kills other players.

* Resolved an issues with ladder ownership that was causing ladders to not be climbable.

* Resolved an issue where a late joining player would be seen as alive by some players.

* Resolved an issue where the round timer was incorrect in extraction games.

* Resolved an issue where the M1025 would be damaged by its own turrets.

* Resolved an issue where the secondary DNS server would not be used when accessing the SOCOM Community pages.

* Resolved an issue where players were able to walk in mid-air.

* Resolved an issue where players were able to run and shoot while equipped with the RPG or LAW (though the RPG/LAW does not appear to be equipped to other players).

* Resolved an issue where players were able to fire their primary weapon while the RPG/LAW was equipped.

* Resolved an issue where players are able to create a 1 round ranked game.

Enjoy fellow SOCOM players!

FYI - Although the patch fixed a bunch of major bad issues, it opened up a couple new problems here and there. Overall, the good outweighs the bad.

So does SOCOM for PSP have a pretty established online player base?
