I'm still very much on the fence here. I have logged over 7 days of game-time to MW2, would this game be a good change of pace? Convince me Gaf. :3

Rent and see.
Lmao.. That shit is so fucking funny because it's true. We played a Dom mach against SVER and tore through their frontline and spent much of the rest of the game wondering why no other platoon was breaking through.... That was until the next game... Same thing except we were spawning on the east side this time... Then it looked exactly like that pic.Anerythristic said:

Have you played SOCOM?
I wonder if Raven isn't slowly getting our shit together. I think i've won half of the games i played this morning (though that includes the games i had with US Raven until they went to bed). And the commanders are improving as well, there were no games were the squad leader failed to set any objectives.
70% fun 30% frustration so far today!

Nope.
The only multiplayer-FPS's I've played extensively are Halo 3 and Modern Warfare 2.

Yea SVER can be beat on all their maps. Yea it's hard but I think after a few weeks the communication amongst the platoons and leaders will be better and new strategies will be created. We are still in that period where everyone is learning all the options and how to play.
Wonder how creative zipper will/can be? Is it possible for them to update and completely change layouts of maps? Would be nice every few months for this to happen if so.
Had a great time in the Raven groups last night. Sorry when squad leader switched to me mid match. It was my first time and I had no clue how to set points and do strikes. I need to group up with randoms and practice the leader roles:lol
yeah maybe the maps are not balanced enough? the last game I played yesterday was Domination (SVER defending) and we didn't get any damage, we lost the bunker to the enemy only once but we took it back in less than a mintue :lol
I remember FFO got almost 60 kills and everyone did fantastic defending the bunker and destroying enemy vehicles as they tried to rush inside (lol I destroyed 15 and get 3 ribbons for it). On the other hand the game before that we were attacking and couldn't make past their first line of defense... I'm enjoying the game a lot anyway, hope they can improve framerate for Domination as it really affects my aim and overall focus on the game.

The maps favor SVER it's not even funny. The comic posted pretty much nails it. Walls of bunkers and defendable positions. The Raven specifically have awful defense layouts with lots of holes.

Ok, not on the fence anymore. Bit the bullet and got the game. Already asked an invite to RavenGAF in the online thread. Off to testing the game now.

With all this talk about "superior" SVER map positions, it's making me consider switching from Raven.

So your going to jump to SVER? Really this is the worst thing that happens with online games, people jumping ship to the "superior" side. Tends to make things worse.

Holy fuck shit. I just bought the game yesterday and while playtime was limited I went with the squad that looked the most badass; which happened to be SVER, lol.
I actually considered Raven however the main advantage of SVER is their maps? What about Valor?
Also, are there clans for each faction?

GAF clans are going to takeover MAG at this rate!

Just read this :lol I am going to have to switch at least twice to get the platinum trophy. BTW PuMa there is a really great gaffer who wants to join Valor. I will send you his name on PSN.
Zipper really has to fix the SVER maps. Especially the acquisition map. Why would you make a map like that? It makes no fucking sense.
BattleMonkey said:
It's true, and in the end, the "superior" side really isn't superior once the other side gets with it. That said, I'm SVER, and we win easily almost all the damn time. But people can complain about maps or whatever, but all I see is such stupidity from the other 2 factions that I just shake my head. "Hey, let's take this apc right up to the bunker!" Also, I'm not sure if you guys get a sniper bonus or whatever, but I see a ton of people just hanging back, trying to pick us off.

I'm actually surprised at how solid the game feels. It definetely has great potential.
I really like this game, and I usually don't play online FPS. The maps are really unbalanced though, and the weapon differences don't do much to compensate. I see stupid shit being done from both sides, except it gets a certain pmc farther than the other.
Also, playing a crappy squad sucks. I got disconnected from the GAF group multiple times last night and had to join their game sometimes on a different squad. No FRAGOs, no medics. I noticed that on SVER Domination, my disorderly non-GAF squad was forced into sniping positions for the most part. It was just so easy to hold down the SVER portion of the map.
