[Official] SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation

Larry's just creating a Neowin clan

Well I was, just disbanded it though as it appeared not to work. I will try again later.

Also we are trying to get the server going again, so anyone who is around feel free to join.

Same as before...

Channel: English Speaking 2

Name: Neowin.net

Settings: 4 v 4 ( Due to lag and having overseas players )

Round 1: Elimination on Regular Crossroads, Day.

Round 2: Extraction w/ respawns on Large Crossroads, Night.

Well i tried finding the game so im assuming its not up.

And before anyone makes a clan, what about the details!

Are we calling the clan Neowin? do we want something fancier? "Neowin Death Angels of doom and destruction"? :p

initials? NW NWN NEO etc

What about moto? lol

are we going to be competitive or more casual aimed?

We closed down the server, so many problems it's just not worth it.

I took the liberty to create a Neowin clan. Larry had talked about doing it but he went offline, so I decided to do it.

We can change everything from colours to logo, even after creation.

Name: Neowin.net

Initials: NW

Motto: "Teamwork & Beer"

Special Forces: U.S Navy Seals

Camo: Urban Marpat

So let me know if you need an invite, think you need to be in the menus to accept. Larry tried inviting me earlier to the clan he had created before disbanding, I just got a "DirtyLarry has invited you to <Clan Name> do you accept" and all I could do is press "OK" :laugh:

Nice. I am hoping to play tomorrow.

Despite its connection issues, I really am enjoying this game tremendously.

Sethos hit the nail on the head, with this game it is so much more about teamwork than anything else. Being a great player on your own only gets you so far, again teamwork being so much more important.

I can seriously see this game becoming my favorite online MP. That says alot.

Sounds good, ya can invite me. :D

Team work and beer, rofl, hopefully my mic will reappear soon, that im gonna have to wait for the game to come out and get the official one packaged in.

I agree, even with the problems im having a ball when it works.

I use to play battlefield2 a few years ago and loved finding a squad that actually plays as one and not just run around stupidly, and this game seems to be great for it.

I was playing the escort VIP mode earlier, and the whole team worked together right till the end, then on of the enemy jumped of a building and killed both the VIPs while they were under the helicopter, lol.

I've also noticed that the annoying people who run around the made with the grenade attachment for the gun and that is all they use, annoying in any game. -_-

(excuse bad writing or screwed tags and formatting as im posting from the PS3's browser using a controller)

Sent you an invite about 20 minutes ago when you were in the menus, Corris - Did you receive it? I'm offline now, so any other invite is going to wait until tomorrow.

Oh by the way, question for Larry, Drukn or MI6 - How's my Microphone quality, also compared to other players? Just want to know if there's any significant different in a USB Soundcard compared to other options.

Yeah, your microphone is crystal clear, does sound a bit muffled like it's placed in the room with you, which I can now see it is. Actually I'm surprised it's the EyeToy, the quality is superb. Sad these simple solutions and old pieces of hardware works better than most new solutions :laugh:

It didnt tell me i had it, so i went to my messages and nothing was there, so i sorted by clan messages and it was hiding there lol.

So now there be two of us clan members, logo is interesting. :p

its alight, im just messing. :p

it will be nice when the rankings and such like work.

Haha :p I'm trying to find an online store where I can preorder socom with the headset but so far no joy :(

I was having a look online at the game, its going for around ?40 and no where does it mention the included headset.

But Warhawk and headset cost ?40 for the disk version so i can only assume it is included until they tell us anymore, they didnt sell a disked Warhawk without the headset till it became the Platinum/Greatest Hits versions, so i hope its true here too.

My overall impressions really aren't positive, but not completely negative either. I just don't the big appeal over this game when there are others which do everything better.

Over the course of the next month I don't see any improvements to the menu and loading then it's definitely out of the picture, and I won't be buying.

I'll be up for more games tomorrow though as I was too busy today. Would be nice if some of you actually joined the matches :p We (Michael, Larry and myself) sat for ages tonight and nobody joined for a good 15/20 minutes. Pretty bad for a game so hugely anticipated :/

Well in all fairness you are basing that experience on the fact we are trying to create a server for just Neowin members, and it appears not all that many even got into the Beta. If we were not trying to play with each other, there are literally hundreds of others of games with thousands of gamers being played by other people.

I finally got it completely downloaded late last night. I didn't get a chance to play that long but I did enjoy the experience overall. Also if you guys could invite me to the clan that would be great. My name on PSN is Labula. Also the only problems I have with the game so far is:

The menu system is really slow at the moment.

There is no scaler. Which sucks for me because my stupid tv won't hold the overscan option on.

There isn't an option, that I could find, to adjust brightness or anything.

Also I would like more spectator options. Since I was dead a lot.

I played mostly the hostage rescue gametype. I believe it is called Extraction. Basically it is pretty much like Counter-Strike for me. My friend was sitting there watching saying it was really boring, because I was dead a lot. I was kinda use to it though because I played Counter-Strike for like seven years.

Overall though I really enjoyed the game. I look forward to playing it a lot more before the end of the beta.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
