Seriously, everyone complaining about this and that is really annoying. I know that complaints lead to a better game though; that being said, there’s a difference: When people complain to have things fixed, they say what the issue is that they have a problem with. Saying that the game is only half complete is just pointless. The fact of the matter is, Zipper left SOCOM, not the other way around, and Sony, for obvious reasons, wanted SOCOM to be on the PS3. I will agree that more time should have been taken in the polishing and configuration of the game. Though, can you really blame them? A lot of developers have feared developing games for the PS3 simply because of the massive size/ power of the br disc as well as the amazing processing power of the PS3. Though Confrontation may not have been everything that S6 had promised, it still is a great game. This is the first major game from S6 and a new experience for the developers. The SOCOM franchise isn’t dead, but rather being reborn. The first SOCOM game was a fantastic game, and nonetheless astonished many; however, in comparison to Combined Assualt, it doesn’t even match up. The game has grown into the PS2 and it will grow into the PS3 just as well if we all just give it time

Not to be rude or anything, but with Killzone 2 on the way who really cares about SOCOM now?

LOL
i bought this POS from P$N a while ago. i seriously tried to like it but i just HATE it soooo much. i invited some mates round to give it a shot cause they “wanted” to buy it too but they both agreed with me. the game is a steaming pile of junk. seriously dont even bother releasing it to the pal territories they know how crap this game is and it wont sell.
i dont understand why it wasnt delayed like everything else for the delaystation just so you guys could at least try to get it right.

so since purchase, i reckon ive played it for about half an hour personally. thats about all i could tolerate!

I love this game a lot, its really really fun, but there are still too many bugs! Any idea when the next patch is coming?

Also can you make a real ‘quick match’ button, the current one takes you to a match with your friends, which isnt really a quick match, a quick match is when the game sends you straight into a match so you can play right away.

while socom had its issues in the beginning the game is the best shooter on the market today! it prob should not have come out when it did in the US, but after 1.30 it runs smooth, looks great and the maps are tremendous!

Thanks for the update SOCOM team. It’s good to see that this game is still getting some fixes of some kind.

I have said this before and I will say it again. You guys are basically an in house sony owned company. I can’t understand why you don’t just ask Insomniac for some help on coding this game? If Insomniac can help out Guerrilla Games with Killzone 2, then I’m sure they can help you with this game. I mean they got their game running 60 players online lag free, and you guys cant get lag free games going at 8vs8.

Why on earth dont you just get Insomniacs help? I’m pretty sure they can lend you guys some code that’s worthwhile that would work wonders on this game! I mean, you guys don’t even have to worry about a single player experience!

And for petes sake, can you please reply to more posts on your blog? I know you guys are getting a lot of hate for selling SOCOM before it was ready, but still…. some of us want to know we are being heard, and if you don’t reply to us then we feel as if our questions are being ignored.

Thanks again for the update, and here’s hoping that this game will get really fixed soon.
