I’ve been keeping up a bit with the topics over at the official socom forum, and I gotta say, quite a few of the updates planned for 1.3 are directly from the forum topics. It’s clear that /6 is listening to the players feedback, so bravo to them for that.
I’ve been using the “drawn gun” visual cue a lot now in my gameplay - especially when there’s only 1-2 enemies left. For those of you who don’t know, when you’re far from your enemy, your gun will be pointed downwards (while walking - not running). When an enemy approaches near - even if you don’t have visual contact - then your gun will automatically be held up in the ready position.
So, you can use this strategy to move around the map and get an estimate of where the enemy is located. Extremely helpful against the last enemy who camps.
Also, this allows you to move around the map more freely 'cause if no enemies are near, then in most cases you’re free to run around.
The thing is, I don’t know what the proximity distance is that activates the gun to be drawn. I suppose this can easily be tested in a 1 vs 1 unranked match though.
Yeah, “going hot” is the other term. In Socom II, the distance was short and if you went hot, chances are he’s like 20 ft. from you; however, in Socom: Conf. it’s much broader. Still helpful, though.
Got that add and clan invite aswell. The “gun drawn” motion and knowing what it meant helps out a lot. Getting MVP in a game is also very satisfying.
I believe there are 7 maps and which change from being large and small (is there a medium size?) I have yet to play anything other than team deathmatch (first time playing a socom game online!).
Cant wait to get online tonight with you guys and get a few pointers on the game.
I believe it’s just small or large, I don’t think there’s a medium. There are however night/day variations for some maps. This is my first socom game online as well, and really first socom (psp socoms don’t really count).
Sorry couldn’t get on last night, I’ll be on for sure this weekend though.
Quazii: While I was sending out a clan invite, I noticed that everyone in the clan had their stats reset. Not sure if you checked your stats recently but, I believe it’s all zeros now. I’m not really surprised if they reset the stats since it was inaccurate anyways, but somehow I still have my stats. :looney:
good to see more people joining in the clan. haven’t been playing much socom lately cause of gears 2, work, school, and other shit. the lag on socom doesn’t help much either. did the patch come out yet? i’ll start playing again once the patch comes out
agree, however i have been playing as much socom as i can. Fuck the assault rifles, hk7 rocks house with its 40 bullet mag clip (too bad it runs through ammo too fast).
i got annoyed by the constant spawn camping and laggy rooms. It was cool at first but it got really shitty when u got people not working as a team in a team based shooter.
