Thanks a lot Wario!
 
I have to say I think Bomb Squad just doesn't work for me with respawns. The intensity to me is that the bomb tech is armed enough to drop half the squad and he has the other 7 guys backing him up. You really have to plan and take out his help and it feels that that's what they wanted. With respawn you just have people throwing themselves into the other team to spam grenades and kill the tech.

I'm sorry to say this, but I just gave it a go and I don't really like it.

First of all, the controls are annoying (turning is sooooo slooooowwww, even on the highest setting) and the cover system sucks, basically.
And how come there isn't a quick mute button in the select screen? And why can't I invite friends into a game? And why the hell can't we talk in the pre-game lobby? O, and... why is there a delay in Voice Chat and does the quality suck compared to MAG?

I know I probably sound like a little whining kid, but the truth is... I had a terrible day and just 2 hours of sleep. So that probably affects my judgement. Also, it's only a Beta. But I honestly expected more of this. I wanted the game to be really good. :-(

1. Turn speed is a little slow
2. I started out using the cover system and have almost completely abandoned it. Not because it doesnt work but it completely limits my mobility which in a socom game is a death sentence.
3. Party system will be in the full game and I am positive it will work very well.
 
I turned my turn speed up.. way up..

I assume its like that to create an initial balance for move vs ds3 players.

once you turn your look and turn speed up in the options sections, its great.

I hope Zipper stay with this game and make quick and reliable patches. I've heard they have done a good at that in the past. How did they do with MAG? I didn't play that.
 
I'm actually suprised by how much I like this. I think the classic mode is better ene though I rarelly get any kills in it.

Controls have locked up once, I could only turn around and get down. Luckily it fixed when I pressed start. It would be great if there were hitmarkers. Sometimes it's kind of hard to see if I'm hitting anyone.

So how come so many Gaffers can download from the same account? I thought accounts were limited to 5 users only? :S

The beta isn't bound to the 5 user restriction, it's basically a game demo
 
Updated the spreadsheet. I thought all the colors were a little distracting so I broke it down into 4 catagories. Shades of gray= scopes, red=increased firepower, green= increased marksmanship, blue= increased stealth.

Feel free to improve/change things.

Thanks a lot. I was getting tired of having to go out of game and check the progression screen to see where I was at and what was next to unlock so this will keep me in games longer. :D

Bullet registry is terrible and people camp too much.
Hey it sounds like Black Ops!
But it's fun aside from that.

I actually think they nailed that in this game.

Anyway for a beta i haven't had any connection problems so far other than the super complicated way of playing with friends unless i am missing something, in order to play with buddies i have to join a game they're in?

Also can i get an invite to the GAF clan?
PSN: Madvillen
Yes i spelled Madvillain with an e instead

Someone has to be smart to fuck it up. After all, they share it, they die.

lol

I have way too much fun with the MP in this. I probably already played 8 hours today. :O

I have to say though that the weapon leveling doesn't scale right between classic and respawn matches. It's way easier to level up your weapon in respawn games.
 
I don't know, but I hate this game. Highl subjective though.

- Aiming feels off as does bullet registration
- camera feels off
- animations are terrible
- kills not satisfying
- move support sucks
- way too much chaos going on. I get shot and I never know why.
- there is way too much shit on the maps, the visibilty of enemies is very low
- running looks off and is way too fast

I just don't like it. It feels like I'd need to invest weeks and months to get good at this game and even then it's not much fun. I don't know. :(

I was like the 19th post on the forum beta giveaway but I didn't say I had a NA psn account, just posted my PSN. Ya think I'll still get one?

Why don't you just use Wario's dummy account?
 
Someone took pics of all the guns and posted them in the Socom forums, I think the thread got took down but I manages to grab them all and merge them into one picture. It's missing 2 guns, the FDO-11 and Mk.20.

Me please
 
Don't like Respawn AT ALL. Classic is where it's at. And I must say I'm quite enjoying the game even though I'm getting destroyed, which I must say is quite rare.

I want in. Please :D
 
OMG The kills in SOCOM are sooo satisfying, are you kidding? if you are close you can just hear the bullets 'pap pap pap' when they hit flesh, and the little blood sprays. I love killing people in this beta so far.
