A REVIEW I FOUND ABOUT IT’S ONLINE FOR PSN

I had a chance to sit down and get a nice long demo of upcoming SOCOM: Confrontation for the PS3. As someone who wasnt big into the previous titles in the series before, I wasnt sure how in the hell Id like this one. As it turns out, its very easy to pick up and get into. And of all the major PS3 releases this fall and theres a lot of them - SOCOM is the game you might want to keep an eye on.

It seems like every online shooter coming out nowadays is held to a much higher standard than before when it comes to features and modes. Everyone is trying to outdo each other by having larger multiplayer maps, better cover systems, or smarter AI bots. So it was refreshing to see that SOCOM: Confrontation went the simple route and included none of these.

SOCOM is strictly multiplayer-only (read: no bots) and consists of seven maps. Five are for 32 players and the other two are for only 16. The level I was shown was for 32 players and we played against the QA testers back in Foster City. The game was a little laggy, but nothing that broke the gamplay.

I was surprised when I was told theres no cover system of any kind. Moving the analog stick slightly forward will allow you to crouch-run, like in Metal Gear Solid 4. Also, for you Sixaxis fans out there, tilting the controller left and right when immobile will allow for peaking around corners. It worked pretty well, but I didnt think it was all that useful since the gunfire can get hectic at times.

Graphically, the game looks phenomenal. While certain areas look better than others, the overall scope of the map I saw was impressive. In terms of destructibility, there isnt a lot to blow up. You can blow up cars and barrels, but dont expect to blow away pieces of buildings or terrain.

While I wasnt given specific details on trophies, and since theres no single player campaign, it appears theyll be tied to your online stats. I assume that means there will be trophies for number of kills, accuracy, victories etc

Theres also a great deal of customization for your character. You can select from a variety of armor pieces and weapons to bring into a fight, each affecting your overall movement speed and accuracy. Theres also an option to make your own badge if youre hardcore enough to start making clans.

For a $40 PSN game, this is looking like a title online shooter fans will have a hard to passing up.

btw dude that is down sorry forgot your ussername ill add u later when im done playing COD4

Me too.

For anyone who has the game, how is the lag (assuming you’re able to actually play)?
What’s the limit of members in a clan?
What type of game modes?
Can you play in a map on your own (to learn the map)?
Is the headset worth it (I already have the MGS headset)?

1. lag isn’t bad. there is some choppiness every so often but that is more of a performance issue than it is lag i think.
2. limit of members not sure
3. quite a few game modes: regular elimination where there is no respawn (you die and stay dead for the round). suppression where you reach a certain number of kills. this mode allows you to respawn after death. control where you try to claim control points. hostage rescue. and demolition where mercs and seals try to take an explosive satchel and plant it to blow up a target.
4. can not play on map by yourself unfortunately. get a friend to join up on the other team and roam around to learn the map.
5. the headset is nice. not sure if you really need it since you already have one. aesthetic looks, features, and quality are high on the sony bt headset. its not as comfortable as some others though i heard. everyone is different. the official sony bt set does have some cool features: HQ sound mode, mute button, usb mic alternative. if you buy it with the bundle, the sony mic is basically $20. $40 for the game only or $60 for the bundle. it’s up to you.
