And I'm oh so happy about that.
I was about to buy the Logitech one out of desperation (I have two BT headsets and none of them works perfectly - one drops randomly and when I turn on the other one the controller shuts off!) but knowing this will come out I'll definetly wait.
Any hint about release date?
Also, Sony should make an "online bundle".
PS3 + DS3 + SOCOM + Warhawk + Official Headset @ 499.
Could be fake, but it's worth a mention.
Just doesn't make a whole lot of sense that the SOCOM bundle would only be $10 more.

Voice chat not that prevalent on PS3? :lol
Blogs. :lol

Ummm....it's MY blog! :lolThe Take Out Bandit said:
Voice chat isn't as prevalent as I wish it was. After playing SOCOM 2 with every single person having a mic, and then playing Warhawk/Resistance/Burnout/RSV/etc (in random rooms) not as many people are talking as there should be.
If you play with clans/people you know, you won't notice it.
Dont know, maybe cuz playing with random people can be fun sometimes?Kittonwy said:People in Resistance talk all the time. No offense but why the FUCK would you play Resistance in random rooms when we have a fucking clan running games AT LEAST FOUR NIGHTS A WEEK and probably people playing every single night?
I see some people still fail to grasp this is a "Warhawk" type game, and not a full fledged release.
That being said, 5 maps to scale does not warrant a $50 price tag, $10 less than a full retail copy. Put it at Warhawk prices please for people to have one less thing to bitch about.
Day One for me. My real skills usually got shown in SOCOM. Compared to it, I suck at Resistance, CoD4, and Halo.

I'd like to know too. SOCOM has never been about the graphics but those latest screens don't look very impressive.

I think they are done in a couple of months. The texture artist there is pretty excellent, I just think his work is getting killed by a lack of anistropic filtering.

Whoops, sorry, originally a double post. I'll ask the guys there if they can have AF enabled.

People need to
If people want to fucking play with STRANGERS in SOCOM, that's fine with me, they might not UNDERSTAND or APPRECIATE the whole concept of playing in a fucking party or a clan on the same side like you're supposed to because you're supposed to kicking OTHER PEOPLE'S ASSES instead of each other's ass, but if one's playing with RANDOM FUCKERS in Resistance and complains about these people not talking, one needs to GET TEH FUCK OUT because random fuckers aren't supposed to talk, people don't tend to talk to complete strangers BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW YOU. Do you talk to fucking strangers on the bus? Do you talk to fucking strangers on the subway? I sure don't. That's why they have the party system/clan support in there, so people who know each other can talk to each other.
LOLZ.
LOLz indeed.Kittonwy said:People need towith their FUCKING PERKS, and maybe try to push some other fucking disgusting ideas in shooters. Interpretive synchronized weapon switch? Lets'.

There was PLENTY of chatter in random rooms in socom. Clans just took it to a personal level.
But shit man, I wonder what happens when no one in ur clan is on. I guess you'd better just log off, since, in Kittonwy's world, the game isnt worth shit otherwise.
Well the big problem in Socom and people without mics were the mines. Nothing worse then seeing some asshat drop a trio of mines and not tell his teammates where they were or for that guy to run out and step on your mines that you called out. Thankfully mic chatter through the speakers can at least (somewhat) remedy those fucktards from running over yours.
J Rzez - whatever. You kicked ass at RFOM for the limited time that you played with us. You said the same thing back then...."I wish I was good like I was at Socom." You must be awesome then

Yes... good times good times..... Socom was the ULTIMATE game for me... just something about the fact that team work counted for much more than it does today.. You actually had to look out for your buddies.... I miss that game
I think I'm gonna go play some SOCOM RIGHT NOW!!>. WHO"S WITH ME!?!?! Lets hook up a Socom game for old times sake guys.. WHADYA SAY!?!?! Sometime this week? WHO"S WITH ME!?!

Yea, this is why I play my 360 online every night. Warhawk should've been BD release only with everyone having a mic, or resistance (hopefully you get my point)
The thing is, if parties are included, that increases the chance that people are actually in a party traveling as a group. Half of the fun was waiting for your buddies to show up in a specific room and lobby and playing with/against random players.Kittonwy said:
Hell, I probably had more fun playing against half of my buddies, telling the random players their strats and where they should be hiding... when you travel as a team all the time, you really don't get that connection between anyone but the people you already know.

Dont you dare diss this man for his blog. Its pretty nice that he keeps info up to date in a single place for the people anticipating the game.

People used to see me log into their room and you'd hear, "aaaah, fuck this shit dog, I'd have to smoke a hell of a lot more weed to tolerate getting my ass torn up by johnny", then they'd log out. :lol
I hope that all these shooters like Resistance, R6V, and CoD4 haven't dumbed down my SOCOM skills. Don't get me wrong, I really liked Resistance and CoD4, but they lack an intensity and competitiveness that SOCOM brings to the table.
And I don't know why everyone's jumping on Kittonwy about a party system. I think it can be a huge accessibility to the game for friends to play together. I mean, if you don't like it, i'm sure you can send your scouts out and wait for one of them to msg you "East 6", or something. You could probably pop in and out of servers in a party hopefully, and not just bound to "quickmatch" type things.
I hope they keep the clan functions that S3 had, that was one thing that game did right.
Abigale update this week
It's great to see that there is some stuff in the planning stages for the community

There is a now a new SOCOM page on Wikia gaming.
PLEASE contribute where you can. Every little bit helps. I checked out some of the larger ones and they just blow my mind.

And that's great, because outside of the it's ultra-intense gameplay, it's community was the next best thing about that game. I've played PC and other console shooters for a long time before and since SOCOM, and it's community was as tightly knit as CS. No console shooter, none, nada, ziltch, has ever come to being as tight knit as a community as the SOCOM's have been.
Clan support was 2nd to none in these games, with 3 even introducing Clan Ladders and even scheduling clan matches through the game itself to boost/lower your ranks. Hopefully S6 paid close attention to that part.
PS - When should this issue of EGM actually be hitting the shelves?

PSN store list leaked?
If true, then we'll be seeing a trailer in April and the full release in July, something that is already heavily rumored.
