thanks.

 

[cjtiger300]

Had a blast tonight with you newbies! Honestly, of all the playlist they have had this is the least diverse. Play community day classic if you want to feel hoe the game usually plays. Run and fun is a sped up mode. The custom rooms in this game are going to be Epic!

 

[SolidEyeSystem]

Got my download started. Thanks for doing this Wario!

 

[weekend_warrior]

Lets see, it's 4am and I'm dying to get one more match in. I think Socrack is back.

Thanks! I have a plus membership but it's ending in a few days so I couldn't have played the beta for long. Hopefully I'll enjoy this beta as much everybody here does.

 

[BeeDog]

Just tried a game, and ranked up to level 4. Pretty fun, but since I'm not a very good multiplayer gamer, I can see this aggravating the hell out of me in the long run.

 

[JLG-]

My k/d is terrible.. lol.

 

[magicaltrevor]

So, what mode do you guys like best?

I imagine having the most fun in the (classic?) no-respawn round-based team deathmatch. What's it called?

 

[Beardz]

The great thing about Classic mode is that you can talk with your friends or browse Gaf waiting for the next round.

Back in the day I used to smoke a LOT waiting for the next round... I'm glad I quit smoking

Is the only difference in Classic mode that it's round-based? Or are there other differences?
Because I love no-respawn modes!

 

[DoctorButt]

keep telling myself "one more game..."

 

[zlatko]

I had a really awful glitch happen yesterday. The entire game I played it wouldn't show me team mate icons at all. I'm surprised I didn't get kicked out for my 2 team kills. I ended up having to just sit back and snipe the other snipers to still be useful, and had to keep doing a quick check of what my team mates outfits looked like so I wouldn't snipe them on accident once they got to the other side.

Classic = no respawn.

 

[zlatko]

Classic = no respawn.

And your health doesn't restore if you get shot up in that round. Respawn game types your health restores.

 

[Risk Breaker]

I'm pretty bad but I'm really liking the game. I'd like to be added to the clan, I'm sending a PM to J-Rzez right now.


BTW yeah, the update is definitely P2P and there were a lot of people downloading, I could tell

edit: damn stupid cat.

I could tell because my internetz were lagging like crazy and I was uploading almost as much as I was downloading. It took some good hours, let it running during the night.

 

[Beardz]

Bomb squad is great, my favorite mode right now.

I'm too late?

 

[magicaltrevor]

Cool.
Sounds like I'll mainly play this then

Though, I suppose regenerating health CAN be turned on for private matches, but without respawn?

Also: I had to go to work, but let my PS3 download the P2P update so that I can play it when I get home... but I heard that matchmaking wasn't in for the Beta.
However, can we still invite/join friends? And how does this work? Through the in-game menu only? Cross-game PSN invites? A combination of both?

 

[Afrikan]

during my first game, it already brought back my Socom 1 memories.

classic mode...you hear gun shots through out the map, while looking for someone to kill. Then just silence, and your like wtf....hesitating to push select, just so you don't get shot while trying to...and wouldn't you know it, all your teammates are dead...and its just you left....and they are coming for you.

shit still gets to me.

 

[Xater]

Um do game mode switch on a daily basis or something? Because I wanted to try some respawn modes and it looks like LD: Run & Gun is the only option. When I go for play now it's always classic mode.

And the best thing is... you know the rest of your team is watching you.

Love it.

I know, I purposely left that out....I feel like they are watching me right now.

its good though, cause I go out like a last action hero.

Would someone shar the beta with me? ;D

EDIT:

Thanks Wario!

Question: I noticed some people in my list from SCEE that are playing the Beta as well. But it's the European version (Special Forces). All PS+ members will get it tomorrow...

Does anyone know if the US / EU builds are compatible in terms of playing together?
Or will I have to download the EU build from the Store tomorrow as well if I want to play with my Dutch buddies?

Because if so, I'll just check out the US version real quick tonight and wait for the EU version.

Except for the name the versions will be identical. How else would you play with everyone once the ful game is out?

I am really liking the game so far. I would still like to know how to play non classic games.

 

[magicaltrevor]

Yes I understand that it'll work with the full game... but I was wondering if - perhaps - the Beta was different from that.

Thank you good sir

 

[BeeDog]

Some minor party-pooping; is anyone else bothered by the minor jitter/stuttering when panning the camera? I was lead to believe this game features rock-solid 30 fps, but every time I look over the map (I've only played on the map featuring the big boat in the middle), there is constant stuttering. I would probably say this bothers me more than outright tearing/framedropping.

Other than that, the game looks alright. Clean IQ and good texture quality.

[Domcorleone]

is there gunna be medics in this game? I'm new to socom and absolutely loved classic mode but wished we could be revived by medics. That would be even better and force more team work. Also are they going to speed up the movements in the game I felt it was a lil slow or is it supposed to be like that?

 

[Dibbz]

Yes every day is a new set of modes for us to test.

There are the official modes as well as the custom modes. Zipper posted the schedule for last weeks modes on their forums. The new list should be up today I'm guessing.

 

[Reckless Onion]

Better be up fast, i'm not liking any of these modes right now.
Also the aiming speed is really slow even on the fastest setting.

Servers down, preorder cancelled...

Does this always happen? I think I just noticed that when you're wounded, your guy's voice sounds "stressed" when saying "changing mags" and other talk. Pretty damn cool.

If servers come back up tonight early enough, I'll try to send some invites out. I promoted some people in the clan so they can do the same if it's like MAG.

Wish the Party System was in this beta release, it's tough getting into some games together at times, especially when there's a decent number of people on. Guess we could do clan battles though during that time.

Hopefully they're changing the game modes as well right now. They're an awful selection right now lol.

Sounds good. I sent you an invite to the chat too. I will try and get people on there that are in the clan but if anyone thats in the chat wants to help out feel free! (I dont have that many GAF friends but not by choice of course!)

Revive yes. In classic? I doubt it.

Thank you most excellent GAF man, got it one day earlier, curiosity on Move controls is too strong.

Add me to the GAF clan, tho I'm a SOCOM noob lol.

[TheExecutive]

Move feels weird in this game. TTP what's ur settings?

There is some auto-adjust on the camera that makes it wonky as all hell. Also if I shoot running up the stairs the cursor actually moves down without my doing anything... Pretty shitty. No matter how much I tweak the bounding box I always have to go above or below the screen to get any movement vertically.

I have come to the conclusion that there is definitely something wrong with the vertical movement with the move in this game. I cant quite place my finger on it but it feels like it isnt doing what I put for the bounding box. TTP will probably prove me wrong with his analysis but there is something going on.

 

[-viper-]

I'm stuck on receiving updates.

It's taking forever. The 500mb demo was finished by 10 minutes but its taken me 30 minutes to download 80 of the 1500mb update.

The hell is going on here?

 

[BrLvgThrChmstry]

Alright, I'm up and running again, I sent out GAF clan invites before to people who asked last night/early today. If you want in on it to jump into games easier with everyone, post here, bold your PSN ID in this thread, or, PM me your info.

Catch you all soon!

Special thanks to Wario and others who supplied dummy accounts for sharing -- thanks, you made my week!
