*eye roll*

Well, yea, MGO sucks....but Id rather play the SOCOM beta with one map than MGO...I haven't logged onto that in 2 months.


I've had no issue playing today. Load times were even improved.

 

[industrian]

Either this head cold is affecting my vision, or SOCOM isn't keeping tallies of my kills. I'm sure I just bagged 3 or 4 guys, and it only counted two. I'm sure that I nailed a guy (i saw him die) and the game didn't report it as a kill.

BTW: Is there any official place to report bugs, glitches, recommendations, etc?

I noticed that when you're NOT in the proximity of an enemy, your player doesn't hold the gun like someone would be, and vice versa.

I just noticed this. It made the game a lot more tense and is a subtle indicator of danger. I like it.

I know what he mentioned, but even so its really fucking annoying to even pick a weapon.

Its like:

-Press and hold circle
-While holding circle, press and hold the direction button corresponding to ur choice of weapon.
-Release Circle
-Then release the direction button

Just to pull out a handgun in the middle of a fight? Thats a little annoying dont you guys think?

Yeah, it's quite clunky. But my remedy for that is not to be fiddling around with my weapons during a fight. I tend only to use rockets and my assault rifle though.

Your kills don't carry over from every round in the stats screen like past SOCOM games. Each round shows your stats contained within that round, then at the ending screen it shows the tally of your stats for the entire game.

mgo > socom

:lol

It was in the same round.

mgo > socom

At this point in time I'd say that SOCOM is better. But only because every time I play MGO I get absolutely annihilated by all you elite GAFfers.

 

[Doel]

It was in the same round.

Oh. I haven't had that happen to me.

The only solution to this is to do quick switch between pistol and primary weapon. I do agree this way of selecting weapons isn't good. They should have stuck with socom 2 way of selecting weapons.

:lol

ya lololol socom vets perfer socom : \

after all the hype and anticipation im pretty sure this beta could of been pure crap and every fan would love it in denial

 

[Kyoufu]

Anyone going to host a GAF server (preferably with the normal Crossroads in the rotation)?

One major issue I have with the game is visibility. Maybe it's just Crossroads and the heat 'mirage' effect going on, but I feel I have a very difficult time identifying enemies. Perhaps that's be design (this isn't red vs. blue after all) but it makes for a frustrating experience.

I'm with you on that, enemy recognition on this map is poor. Because everything is just BROWN lol

Sometimes I think I saw an enemy when infact it was just atmospheric effects.

Or as I mentioned earlier, maybe I just suck.

Seconding this.

I'd volunteer, but my connection has a poor upload speed.

You obviously aren't very familiar with the SOCOM fanbase. All we do is bitch. Check the SOCOM board on PSU. People complaining about every little minute detail that doesn't mirror socom 1/2 exactly.

The ones that are open to change while still wanting the game to feel like SOCOM, are generally happy with the beta thus far (apart from the server/load issues obviously).

You are just clearly an MGO fan. Nothing wrong with that, but then why are you here if you have nothing to add to the discussion about the game/beta?

 

[TGO]

Question
Is there a Captive mode in Socom: Confrontation
cuz so far I ain't played it
for those that don't know what Captive is, it's like suppression but you can revive team mates.
If thats not in the final version then, thats not good

im interested in the reception, but i couldn't pass up a chance to correct a socom > mgo post.

especially one that just seemed so stupid and out of place

 

[Rapping Granny]

GIVE ME A CODE!

You mean from the PSP SOCOMs? No that's not in the game.

Only had this issue when people are laying down in certain spots where they blend in pretty well. Can't really complain about it though because the games have always been like that. To me it's just another layer of strategy and way to play the game.

 

[JB1981]

Can used codes be shared?

I can see that but at the same time, I feel like I literally cannot SEE. Crossroads is one big brown/dusty mirage.

I only managed to play for about 10 minutes the other night, but that was my main complaint as well.

The one awesome thing about S1/S2 was that even though the graphics were never that great, the things that needed to be visible weren't confused with anything but what they were supposed to be. The environment obviously played a factor, but it was more in terms of strictly light/dark or hidden/not hidden.

I didn't get the chance to play the original 16-player Crossroads yet, but the biggest example of this is on the balcony overlooking the terrorist base - the lighting/environmental effects fuck that entire scene horribly.

 

[Doel]

Can used codes be shared?

Yes, 3 times total.

I don't know, its been fine for me. You playing in HD or SD?

Oh and during the game, press start and change your view to "Classic Camera". EVERYONE needs to do that. Makes the game infinitely more enjoyable. I don't know why they are trying to push their crappy OTS view when it takes away half the screen.

 

[Crisis]

Last night I had to go through this a couple of times but I can't fucking log on at ALL today.

How was it in SOCOM 2? Memory fails me.

Anyways, here is how I "fixed" the control setup

L1 for quick switch (TAP) AND menu selection (HOLD) so I dont have to deal with two different buttons for similar functionality.

Circle for reaload.

R2 for Knife AND run. Tap for melee attack and hold for running.

R3 for taunts.

Try this set up. I think it's pretty much perfect.

Yea, I'd rather have run mapped to R2 and reload mapped to one of the face buttons as well.

err .. i meant i'd rather have run mapped to L3.

 

[FoxhoundNL]

I would really like a Captive mode too. I hope they'll eventually patch it in. Hell, I'd even pay for it. It adds a whole new level of awesome to SOCOM. Not that I'm not happy with Suppresion, it's just that reviving team mates makes it even greater IMO. I absolutely HATE respawn games btw.

 

[thuway]

I like having L2 for Run. Its the zoom and auto select that piss me off.

 

[VALKYRAY]

damn this demo is like the worst demo i ever played.
the full game better be perfect.

 

[Negaiido]

damn this demo is like the worst demo i ever played.
the full game better be perfect.

So this is the only demo you ever played.

 

[Goldrusher]

Yes, 3 times total.

Not the Eurogamer code...

 

[Acid08]

I love this game. I'm not having all the problems everyone else seems to have. Yeah I have the long load times and the menus fucking lag for some reason, but I have had almost no ingame lag. Only time so far was fucking LiquidMetal being far away, I shoot, and all of a sudden he appears in front of me and kills me. And after I had saved his life earlier when we were on the same team .

 

[oneHeero]

damn this demo is like the worst demo i ever played.

Retard confirmed? :lol

 

[Kyoufu]

Retard confirmed? :lol

What?

 

[btkadams]

so is there a gaf game up right now? or a gaf clan?

 

[FoxhoundNL]

So this is the only demo you ever played.

Are you Dutch? I think I saw someone named Negaiido on the Dutch channel a few hours ago.

 

[DJ Crimson]

Anyone get an e-mail today? When is the last time anyone got an e-mail?

Waiting for one to, if I don't get it by tonight. I will have to beg people for a damn code and just give away the codes I get from the email whenever that will be.:lol

 

[TGateKeeper]

still waiting for that email with the code..

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

So If i download Qore eps 1

will i still get a beta code??

 

[Philthy]

I had a blast lastnight. When they iron out all the connection issues I think this game is going to be pretty fun. At least its not like Warhawk where you spawn and someone shoots a missile in your face or drives over you over and over.

 

[JetSetRadio]

This needs a lot of polishing to be really worth a buy imo, but I can't see that happen with the release that soon. Or is this beta confirming a delay ? :lol

It's fun though, but will likely be blown away easily by mag.

 

[oneHeero]

What?

Its not a demo its a beta, been confirmed 100% by the devs/sony/gaf.

 

[Kyoufu]

Its not a demo its a beta, been confirmed 100% by the devs/sony/gaf.

bububut it says demo when you're about to install it!

 

[TGateKeeper]

Anybody with a code to share???

 

[industrian]

Well that's weird.

I joined a game (Crossroads at night) and was playing fine until all the sound cut out and the framerate dropped significantly - making the game all but unplayable.

Anyone else had this problem?

 

[DesertEasy]

Had the same problem on xroads night too. Dunno if its lag or a glitch.

 

[NameIess]

^^^^Considering the game is suppose to be launched in 30 days I would consider this more of a demo too... In most situations a beta is released 60+ days out, but considering all the beta server issues so close to launch it has me kind of worried...

 

[GodofWine]

Yea, had it only on one 32 player game.

My comparison to MGO was done cause its the only other tactical shooter to compare it to at the moment. I don't think it was out of left field to use it to compare (and I don't like MGO..sue me)

 

[FoxhoundNL]

I've had that several times. It gives me head aches.

 

[industrian]

I've had that several times. It gives me head aches.

I'm getting it constantly now. It's pissing me off to say the least.

That and I happen to always join a game as soon as a round ends.
