We’ve got a lot of exciting news for all you SOCOM fans! Today we’re happy to announce that SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 will be hitting the shelves on Tuesday, November 24 2009. So mark your calendars and plan to spend some quality time with your SEAL team over the holidays.
We also like to present you with the very first look at the final packfront for SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3. Check it out below:
To further whet your appetite as we gear up for launch, we’re happy to announce the pre-order program which kicks off today. Gain the upper hand in multiplayer gameplay with two powerful new multiplayer units outfitted with new lethal weapons when you pre-order your copy of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3. See details below:
New Special Forces
Kommando Speizialkrafte (KSK): Play as the deadly KSK. Formed at the end of the Cold War, the KSK operates under the Special Operations Division. KSK operators go through an intense training program, taking up to three years to complete over 20 counter-terrorism specialist courses.
Special Air Service (SAS): Compete as the elite British SAS. Often considered the template by which other Special Forces are organized, the SAS has its origin in the North African Theatre of World War II. The motto of the SAS is “Who Dare Wins,” a solid description of their skill and mindset.
New Weapons
F2000: The German KSK are outfitted with the powerful F2000 assault rifle. The F2000 offers the most popular features of the modern assault rifle including a compact bullpup layout, completely ambidextrous handling and a modular design with plenty of options and add-ons which allow the rifle to be tailored for any mission or tactical situation.
AS-50: The British SAS come armed with the deadly accurate AS-50 BMG sniper/anti-material rifle. The AS-50 .50 BMG sniper/anti-material rifle enables operators to engage targets from long range with high accuracy. Lightweight and transportable, the AS-50 can be disassembled in less than three minutes and serviced without tools.
You can find these pre-order programs at retailers like Best Buy, GameCrazy, GameStop, Amazon.com and other participating retailers. Fans who purchase their copy of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 from the PlayStation Network within the first 30 days of launch will receive the pre-order Special Forces.

Will there be a demo coming to PSN soon?
OOH WOW AND I THOUGHT MY COMMENT DIDNT POST SINCE I DIDNT SEE IT WHEN I REFRESHED THE SCREEN :/ SINCE THIS IS GONNA BE MY THIRD COMMENT I SHOULD JUST SAY THAT ..SOCOM CONFRONTATION ISNT SO BAD..OR SHOULD I SAY HORRIBLE..LOL ITS A GOOD 3PS GAME BUT IT COULD AND WILL BE BETTER! :)THATS JUST MY OPINION SINCE IM A HUGE 3PS FAN.
Game, after game, after game. Good stuff. Keep making sure you guys differentiate the titles from PS3, make it a different feel, which I’m sure you have.
I’m extremely disappointed about the GT PSP reviews though.
so is this special forces thing like the clans from confrontation where you have to be in the certain clan to get the special wepoen or is it just a pre order and get 2 extra guns for online no catch???
Wow, 90% of the comments in here thus far are boycotts/complaints. Seriously, stop bringing up Confrontation in a goddamn FTB3 post.
Don’t let /6 touch another PS3 game. I’m iffy about this knowing they made it.
nah,i won’t buy it
btw im very dissapointed of GT Portable reviews…
Does SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 introduce PSP Trophies, viewable via XMB?
Sounds cool!!! On my list!!!
By the way… Jeff when will the Motion controller part 3 show on the blog??
ITS MADE BY SLANT SIX> THAT MEANS DO NOT BUY IT AT ANY CAUSE.
FEATURES ON THE BOX/COVER MAY NOT BE IN THE GAME.
WARNING: ACTUAL GAMEPLAY MAY DIFFER FROM ADVERTISEMENTS
/6 can take this game and sho….
Well you know the rest.
/6 sucks.
Wait, who developed this? Oh yeah, /6. Yeah right. I’ll purchase this when Confrontation gets a GOTY award.
Whats the sound?
The sound of /6 missing the boat. I won’t buy another of your products.
WARNING: ACTUAL GAMEPLAY WILL DIFFER FROM WHAT IS LISTED ON THE BOX.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. SLANT SIX HAS A REPUTATION OF DELIVERING EMPTY AND FALSE PROMISES. DO NOT SUPPORT SONY’S LACK OF ATTENTION TO THE GREATEST FRANCHISE WHEN ZIPPER RAN THINGS.
WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SLANT SIX PRODUCT AGAIN.
BELIEVE ME THIS IS NOT A MUST BUY TITLE. LISTEN TO THE AUDIENCE.
SLANT SIX BOYCOTT.

People will continue to boycott or complain about anything /6 touches because of what happened with Confrontation and they have a right to do so. IF anything you should be thankful people are keeping the issue in the light because they are educating consumers on past issues with this company.
sorry, but i’ve become a MAG-snob. :D
Is it me, or is the PSP getting much more attention on the blogs the last few days? I love the PSP, but I want to know about the PS3, and games like Critter Crunch, and the Beta contest for Uncharted 2.
Confrontation was total crap.
Slant 6 promised, yes, PROMISED for good things for the game. Annnd we wait one year, and nothing? … but a new crappy game to release? Get Modern Warfare 2, since it comes out in November.
Slant 6 destroyed their own reputation and its going to take a miracle to fix it.
Its unfortunate that the marketing side of a company can hurt everyone in it through false promises and unrealistic deadlines.
I’m support the boycott on their products.
LMAO WHAT A JOKE ARE YOU SERIOUS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well it’s official.. Sony has no shame. Confrontation is still in shambles. We’re lied to with every new post they make in regards to Confrontation.
Almost one year post release with no promised DLC. And on top of that it’s rumored that will only get one DLC at that.
I will not purchase this title. You have have some nerve to post this up with Confrontation is incomplete and lacking DLC.
Shameful!
Sorry DON’T BUY THIS GAME. Actually this might be could as the coding is a a lot simpler then coding for the PS3
@28
I agree. Buying this game sends the message that they can lie to us even 12 months later and we’ll still buy their products.
Pass on this game to let them know that it is not okay.
wow, they’re changing the psp box covers as well? lame.
i’ll be skipping this as well… way to many other games coming out.
No one cares about FTB3 when Confrontation is still messed up. Its great to see that NO ONE in the entire company cares about the BIGGEST community.
Don’t buy this game.
Pretty sweet. Will look into this
sony please bring vigilate 8 ps1 classic to ps3
@20
I agree. Copy and paste if you believe him.

I dont know that I’m going to get this because I have alot of games that I might be buying on November like LittleBigPlanet,Jak and Daxter:The Lost Frontier,but dont worry about it,I make a plan to get this.Guys,I didnt play SOCOM:Confrontation on the PS3 and I dont have a PS3. Does this game have game sharing?
For the anti-Confrontation crowd…you DO know that it is the most played online PS3 game right? Bigger than KZ…bigger than Resistance. I’m not saying I disagree with you just that you’ll have little affect.
Biggest PS3 disappointments:
Noby Noby Boy, Confrontation
YAAAAAAAAAA can’t wait for this one to come out first day purchase. (when will it be available for the ps store
@38
I know they said that but lots of people and companies say things. I refuse to believe that a game so riddled with problems and faults has more people playing it then a quality game such as KZ2, Resistance or even CoD4. Seriously?
IF I was Sony or /6 I’d also say that Socom had the biggest and most active community to push more people to buy it and be a part of it.
Don’t believe everything you see, read, or here without an independent source that has no benefit from getting the facts.
Right now your best independent source is fellow gamers. I’ve got 7 RL friends who I play PS3 with regularly and only 2 of us have socom. All of them have CoD4. Thats just a small sample of Socom representing how large its community is ;/

LOL SoSuck is what it should be called. After the joke of a game the last Socom was I’ll never buy another one.
Honestly. How do you whiners make it through the day without killing yourselves? I guess being all “dead inside” is enough…
…anyway. I like S:FTB2. So I will get this as well.
confrontation does not lag anymore so stfu
LOL / six you need to get over to the playstation blog and explain to us why is the ps3 socom is so bad , LOL even with the patch the game is still bad. You need new maps, more update and DLC this should be done as soon as possible or before modern warfare . my god man warhawk is a better game if you want any profit from any games you make you have to fix this game.
@ 38 that not true because if it was then why is it so hard to find a game? dude whoever told you that load of crap lied to you . there are not alot of people playing the game sometimes we have to search 3 to 5 times to join a quick match and please don’t get me started on the rooms .
@ 38 am not sure on this but if you go to there website it will tell you how many people playing the game . LOL i bet there more people playing warhawk then socom.
