i suggest you do what i am doing and wait a day or so till the rush dies down.. as evidenced by the betas before this and this one, sony has no idea how to prepare for a first day server rush lol
login to PSN HOME like i did and do some virtual dancing for an hour haha

Crap...My PS3 froze up while I was doing so good in the game. I was actually killing bitches left and right with my M16 and ACOG scope.

I was having the same problem, Just keep trying it.
I managed to get into a game with my super shitty AU isp.
Graphically it's better than some of you guys made me think.
It's like if you took COD4 and made it 30fps (though slow down at a high point) but with better textures and a bit clearer image. The graphics are definitely serviceable.
The one time I fired at someone though my gun sound fx didn't work and I get keeping LAG errors until I was booted.

I've gotta say, I'm SORT OF enjoying it so far.
I loved the old SOCOM games, and this doesn't feel quite the same, to be honest. However, it is still a fun game. The mechanics are mostly good, and while there are some lag issues (hopefully due to Beta status) it's pretty solid gameplay.
Some of the controls are a little difficult--for example, you can't reassign X or Triangle to perform other actions, really. But all in all I'm enjoying it so far.
Feel free to add me to your PSN friends, everyone. (Sort of new to NeoGAF so I'd be glad to play with some of you more)

I downloaded off the UK store it seemed to take around 4 hours. I'm in the US so I could understand the lag inspeed. Game is worth it though. It definitely feels unique, hard to put my finger on but this is next gen SOCOM here!

At first his post didn't quote you, so don't feel too bad.
No idea but this is why i refuse to play the beta. I know its a beta but seriously last i remembered a public beta is to get some feedback especially complaints and my biggest complaint i have is why does it take so long to join a game !!. If people cant play the devs cant get any feedback,so what ever im just hoping this will be fixed soon because i played it twice and i liked it.Strider2K99 said:
After playing a few lag free rounds and getting accustomed to the controls the game has potential, but I can't say I'm sold yet... I still not happy with the grenade throwing and where's the option to make grenades your quick select? Also, the aiming camera and crosshairs still does not seem right. The game definitely needs some tweaking, but I have to admit it does give you a bit of the Socom 2 vibe when you play 8 VS 8 on the standard Crossroads map...
I kind of flew off the handle initially, because I'm a huge Socom fan and want the game to be great.

Finally been able to connect after half an hour, just to have my PS3 freeze on me.

This is awful. The aiming feels damn good, and the FPS is smooth, but the netcode is awful, the interface is incredibly slow, and it takes forever to join a fucking game. This interface is so goddamn archaic it makes the Dreamcast online look like a viable option.
It's a fucking Beta not a demo or full game.
It's going to have problems. It's not indicative of the final product.
I can't believe there are so many people that think they should have a perfect experience that blows their mind when the product is a FREE program that the devs use to tweak/fix problems.
So frustrating that so many people are being such wankers.
