The no respawn games are so much fun! I can see what all the fuss is about with these SOCOM online games. I played the first one and that was it. This beta has been an all out blast. Day 1 for me!

One more thing, they have got to fix these load times. The are bordering on absurd. I do understand stuff like this happens in betas, but that doesn't mean it isn't frustrating as hell!

F90 is amazing :lol

Had a monster kill streak going there even when our team was getting owned by yours :)

I think for the Commandos, there is a similar weapon, the 3rd Machine Gun I believe.

Yeah, I have always loved that gun in Socom and this one is no different.

No Respawn is the way Socom is supposed to be played. I have been invited to a few GAF games only to leave when I found out they were Respawn.

With regards to the fact that you can hear the other team talking when in close proximity...

i guess whats needed is 'radio' silence when around the enemy and only saying minimal stuff (eg 'one upstairs') if possible so the victim can't be sure its him thats being talked about.

i know your character will automaticly hold up his weapon if any enemy are nearby, perhaps that trigger radius is the same as the headset radius?... that would help to know when to go quiet and keep the other team in the dark as much as poss.

Does anyone know what the trigger radius is?

YEah, someone should experiment. It's not difficult to test with two people on opposing sides as they can both hear each other.

If i get chance tonight i'll create a pass worded room and get a friend in to experiment, will give me a chance to make sure the mic is as clear as poss. Theres so much variation in the quality of peoples voices tho i guess thats more to do with the bluetooth headset.

You can hear and talk to each other in close proximity. While I was stuck under all that rubble last night I had a nice chat with Liquidmetal who was on the other team telling all his guys about the situation lol.

I just want to say how awesome this game is shapping up and thank /6 for doing such a good job so far.

This is SOCOM no doubt about it.

I think I'm done with this until the servers get worked out. I don't like the stress that I'm currently putting on my system by forcing it to restart by holding down the reset button when the game decides to freeze or load for ten plus minutes.

I'm having fun when I actually get to play, but the time it takes to load and the chances of the game freezing are just not worth it.

Also, I'm getting tired of the armor system. I should not have to snip people three and four times to kill them when they're wearing medium or even heavy armor. It's bad enough that the crosshairs jump all over the place when you’re standing still, but it’s a huge handicap when you have the jump on someone and shoot them in the back with out killing them because it blows your cover.

I know man I hope that gets worked out soon.

Plus waiting like 5-15 minutes for a game to load is a little bit ridiculous when you look at how fast games like cod4 put you into matches.

OK so I'm totally out of the loop here but is there no lobby? Is there only matchmaking? I thought we were getting both. :|

Yeah they've got lobbies, I don't know about matchmaking since you join whatever game/server you want.

My new hardrive arrives tomorow morning so my PS3 will be up and running again. I have my beta code primed and ready, so tomorow will be a Socom day. If anyone wishes to add me in preparation for tomorow I have plenty of space. The PSN is: VociferousTURTLE
Spelt exactly like that, the picture should be a turtle. Il accept everything tomorow when I have my hardrive installed. Just checking, cba making a completely new thread, do you just slot the hardrive back in the slot and wait for the onscreen rompts to install it?

First person to tell me Im beautiful gets a BETA code.
:D

I don't have time to use it plus im in the R2 beta and I'd rather give it the time I have.

ONLY CATCH is that you have to be from Australia as it's the PALGN vode.

So does it pick them up when they used the chat button? I have heard a few players TVs even more so when it's a nade or close by gunshot go off on there end, they are not talking but it picks up the background noise.

I never played respawn until this beta, If I'm going to wait forever for the map to load I want more playing time. Respawn @ 20 mins = less loading. Less of a chance for it to freeze.

Aside from the ridiculous loading time I am really enjoying the game. It brings back good memories of SOCOM days of old. Thanks again to mr stroke for the code.
