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

[Sethos]

Definitely not, the interest for the game does seem a bit ... non-existent :rofl:

But I got some AT4 kills, so I'm happy. :happy:

[former1]

Im here now - game still on? Or peeps gone? :p

[Sethos]

Well, we stopped for now but hang around, we'll maybe start it up again real soon.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

We started it up again so people can join, same settings as before

[former1]

I'm on =]

[Sethos]

Larry's just creating a Neowin clan

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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.

[former1]

Is it just me? Or is this taking an unusually long time to load o_O

[Sethos]

Yeah, stuck on loading ... restarting the server ( And game ... )

[former1]

Ah well gives me a reason to goto bed then I guess ;P good game guys :) I'll definately be on later today - got a busy day start today though :(

[Corris Veteran]

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?

[Sethos]

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:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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.

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)

[Sethos]

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.

[former1]

Well hot damn can't sleep - as it's too hot :p. Sethos your mic is just fine! How's mine? I'm using the old PS2 Eye toy xD Also I wouldn't mind an invite to the clan :)

[Sethos]

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:

[former1]

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

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

[Sethos]

logo is interesting. :p

I just picked something random.

[Corris Veteran]

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.

[former1]

Hmm ok, just worried to pre-order and find out I don't get it :p

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

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.
