SOCOM: Confrontation 1.30 Update Features (Part 3)

Today, I'm going to give you a sneak peak of the new dive to prone character move. The dive to prone has been enhanced significantly in the SOCOM: Confrontation 1.30 update and is now very similar to previous SOCOM games. The dive to prone is much quicker and you carry momentum forward. It is much easier to quickly get into a good prone position or dive for the deck.

[still the worst]

SLANT 6 JUST MESSED UP MY SOCOM LIFE
SLANT 6 MUST HAVE never played SOCOM 1, SOCOM 2 or SOCOM 3

@thor the game play is nothing like socom 1,2 or 3
they slow down the game and added a stupid run buttom
the in not real 3rd person more now like over the shoulder view
classic view is a joke

[thor]

The game is more similar to the first two than Socom 3 was.
The game has had numerous issues fixed.
The game is going more for realism because strafing at 1000mph just doesn't look right with the graphics.
The previous Socoms also had some issues/glitches (every game does).
The nuances of the game are going to be different because it's a different game - what's the point in releasing a game that's exactly the same as a previous installment? There is none.

You're as bad as the people who complained about hit boxes in Counter-Strike: Source. CSS was a fantastic game, I really enjoyed it and played it for years, and I'd never played the original CS but you know what? If I did, it would feel different and wouldn't seem right. Treat Socom: Confrontation as a game in its own right, as well as one that furthers the franchise, and maybe just maybe you might enjoy it. It shouldn't and can't be the same as Socom 1,2 or 3 - so don't expect it to be exactly the same. It's running on a different console for a start.

SOCOM: Confrontation is a damned fine game. Excellent tactical FPS with very realistic gameplay. The graphics are great, the sound effects are awesome, all in all a very satisfying game. Granted first couple of days the backend servers had some issues but now the game plays wonderfully clean and smooth. What's not to like?

[va_bank]

You guys can defend it all you want, but this game is broken. I gave up on it the day after 1.20 patch came out. I'll try it again after 1.30, but I doubt the two issues that bother me the most will be fixed in it (at least socom.com posts make no mention of them being fixed):

1.) The lag. (Don't say I have bad connection (CoD, Resistance 2 and Warhawk run flawlessly for me)

2.) The glitch where the characters left hand is raised a foot over the gun - I can not aim when that happens.

[BlackTar187]

same with over 60 people i know and most if not all say it is as close to socom 2 as they can get without making it crazy unrealistic as socom 2 with running and grenade throwing.

Now the Lag issue I dont have I have a spike every now and then but usually only my first round in a room.

the hand over the gun complaint im sorry if its valid for you to me thats a little nitpicking your gun has a crosshair if a hand that is not int he way of theactual crosshair is throwing you off maybe you should try another game becasue that is ridiculus to me IMHO theres got to be better reason then that.

but again I had over like a month of straight gameplay over that time period and i was very critcal of 3 and CA for not following the usual socom route and if you think 3 is anything like 2 then I have to sya maybe you dont know what yuour looking for I know so many people who left because the diff. was so big between 2 and 3 so that i think is a invalid argument in reality.

[Panthers]

@ VA Banks. The only lag right now (at least in ranked rooms) is when people join late. It lags right when they come in. This IS being addressed in 1.30.

I dont see how people say this game is not like the original. It is more so than Socom 3. That game was horrible and this is MUCH MUCH MUCH better.

[chasegamez]

@BlackTar187
i think still the worst is right
i been playing since socom 1 and this is kinda different
most of my socom boy stay it slow now

[BlackTar187]

I stand by what i said. But yes the spedd is way differnt and all my time on socom 2 I forgot how fast it was I looked it up about a month ago or more and saw so yeah its slower but to me thats not to bad socom always asked for more and more and more realism and in that case the running at 30mph with a full gear is not real in anyway go light light and you still cook but not as fast as normal socom 2 . thanks for the response. I dont think they ruined it but I also know not everyone can be happy. To me socom2 = best but the running in that game was so fake it kinda look ridiculus when I wathc it on you tube to me. Like I said to me the running is fine its make sense to me socom =realism and running that fast=not realistic.

Thanks for the response again and if you play socom add BlackTar or if your on Gamebattles or GamerSaloon. com or Urgent Fury.com send me a friend invite maybe we can play together.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Now its turning out to be a better game. I cant believe they released the game before they tried to fix it. It should have just stayed in beta form. Now tons of people wont buy it because the game has a metacritic of 7.

[ghostface]

This is my first time playing socom online and i'm having loads of fun with it, beside the slow down here and there. can't wait for the patch 2 come.

[gw4k]

to buy this game. I have been waiting for the issues to get worked out! Looks killer!

[DeforMAKulizer]

Can't wait to download the patch =D YAY!

[BlackTar187]

I go to that site alot and the things you say have been so inactive compared to before which means they have drastically been reduced hell there is not even a complaint about lag issues that is serious on page 1 or 2 but its not that i dont believe you I just have a hard time thinking that you have more lag issues then most and it is convient(not lying convient) but something along the lines maybe there is something else going on.

But people have problems im not here to cover them up im here to sa that socom in no way is broken for me or anyone I know. so im a little interested in what is happening to you.

[locos85]

I'm having a blast playing this. It's taking all my spare time away, I can't wait for 1.30 and Trophies!!!

[Kaneda]

I spent most of my thanksgiving days-off playing SOCOM.. pretty addicting game. But they still have server issues. But it is much improve since it launched.

[divideby0]

nice addy, but how about fixing this BROKEN game...We are still in an open beta...Cannot play this game competitively, it dont add the scores up properly (ie: # of kills/assists)...sometimes when playing control points, captured points are not even counted up..
Last nite we all were experiencing the old pop up erro msg. about community features, booted from games and when trying to rejoin the game is full, when its not. The list of things broken with this game continues to be endless.
Slant 6 will never be allowed to make another PS3 game, if they are they have to be kept under watch like they are the noob developers they are.

[divideby0]

I am not sure what game those who disagreed are playing,surely not playing this game
I play this game almost everynite with the clan I am in...and what I posted is the truth and not afriad to post it.
Another one, last nite in a RANKED game, I didnt play the entire round and I got 2 killz...cant make this stuff up

[40cal]

This game has some of the best gunplay ever. Every weapon feels real/right. Thanks for the info on the patch. See yall online.

[Panthers]

This is my fav game right now and probably for a while. I will probably take a break for Killzone 2, but I know I will go back.

[Peow]

I love this game...

Except the M203s, MK .48, M60, F90, GL-36, USAS 12, and the Rocket n00bs. That, and the weapons are WAY underpowered. Considering it takes 2 shots in the heart with an M87ELR .50 cal.... which is absolutely ridiculous.

[BlackTar187]

and before anything im a sniper and have been on any cmpetitive game I have played for Cash or prizes or wins on a ladder. But I see it as okay why because it keeps the sniper rifle even I dont agree becuase I like killing people but I see why they did it. On that note there is not to many people out there that die from 2 shots when i use the Mauler Its one shot one kill above the waist line but not always when they have heavy top. as a sniper I roll heavy top becasue I live that extra shot from a rival sniper or from agunnner gives me time to move grab the pistol and still have 1/2 health to give me a fighting chance just a suggestion

[Sty]

...

[DirtyLary]

the game that got me to buy my 1st PS3.

I'm patiently waiting for the next patch to see how it all pans out.

[BlackTar187]

and my clan we gamebattle and comp war all the time so I think you should get it I dont have the unbearlable problem i had when it first came out. But then againim from PC land orignaly 15yrs ago so thjese issue are okay for me. But yeah since the patch i have not been booted I get lag spikes but one a game the loading is way faster the mics work great bullet detection is good so i recommend it.

Take into account these are my views and opnions and exp. you should poll more then me if your stuck in the middle.

[divideby0]

The Famas is just way, way to over powered. That gun is a frigging joke..

[James Vanderbeek]

Im new to socom too.. I be owning people though.. You get such a rush when your on a roll taking out a whole 8 man team by yourself.. Just smoke some kush and get to killing.. lol..

Only people who dont like socom either suck at the game or dont have a ps3..

[DA_SHREDDER]

they should just shut it down till its completely finished.
