SnowRanger13 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Guys it's the first day of the beta... expect problems... I'm glad I'm in and playing! The load times are ridiculously long but I'm sure once the servers are more stable that will be improved upon. The graphics look good, not amazing or anything but I never played SOCOM for the graphics... Gameplay is pretty much exactly what I expected, excellent so far. It feels like SOCOM 2 with improvements and additions. If you ask me or any other long time SOCOM player they will tell you thats exactly what it needed to be. For me it's a for sure buy.

Gavin001 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 So far im loving it, it was a bit annoying trying to enter a room and its a bit crap that non of the community features are not working yet so you cant set up a party yet or recieve invites frm other people. But once you get in to a room first thing u do is change the camera back to the classic SOCOM camera :p also the controls are great just one thing thou is that it seems like they have forced you to use the sixaxis to lean left and right. The guys have def did a great job thou of making it like SOCOM 1 and 2 the guns feel really powerful and they all have great recoil so no spraying and the hit system seems to be great plus headshot is one hit kill :D also i noticed if you kill some1 while there shooting they continue to shoot while there dying so watch out if ur in a close battle with someone cause them stray bullets will prob end up killing you lol! They will def be getting my money once this is released :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 SOCOM: CONFRONTATION PUBLIC BETA UPDATEPosted by Seth Luisi Due to overwhelming demand for the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation Public Beta, we are experiencing load related issues. These issues are causing abnormal latency, disconnects, long load times, login errors and community features such as clans and stats not functioning correctly (or at all). We are doing everything we can to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and you should see some improvements progressively over the next couple of days. However, we do not expect to have the issues completely resolved until close to the end of next week. We apologize for the inconvenience. SOCOM: Confrontation Online Team No mention of NAT! Just load related issues, and NAT is not a load related issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Server issues aren't much better in the end, it shows PSN and it's game servers still need a hell of a lot more work. No it doesn't. This is a BETA, using SOCOM servers, not PSN servers. I have none of these problems connecting to any other PSN based game. What this shows is that the SOCOM servers need tweaking and balancing, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scazza Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I didn't get in unfortunately. I guess I have to wait for a demo to see if I am going to buy it or not. :( Dirk, know one else no will need this so check your PM's :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted September 6, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2008 After a good portion of the morning playing it i can safely say that i will be buying it. :D Been really good fun, especially when you on a team that works together. Load times are still hugely long, but im sure in time will be improved, and its always amusing to see someone running around and shooting at stationary objects and complaining they cant see in the night map. Who would be up for a clan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be up for a NW Clan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yeah, as long as they sort out the In-game freezing, I will pick this up for sure. I'd love to start a clan, only for Neowinians. On another note, just got home from dinner at the grandparents house, so I'll be playing most of the evening/night - When would people be up for a Neowin match today? Want as many to join as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 6, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2008 I will be playing in around 3 hours or so. Possibly even a little earlier, but definitely 3 hours from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Alright, sounds like a perfect time - Let me know when you hop Online, I'll set up a server and then everybody can join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 6, 2008 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2008 Will be playing in like 30 minutes? Maybe even less. I am just setting up my default load out now, and my wife is getting ready to leave, so yeah, should be playing in no more than 30 minutes, so just a heads up Sethos, if you want to start it now for everyone else, feel free. Just post the area, room name, and all of that good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Okay. Drunkn will be on in around 30 minutes as well, so I'll just wait until the last second.

Rookas Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I wonder if they'll extend the beta since it's practically unplayable as it is right now. I haven't been able to get past the title screen since the one game I played in the Neowin room yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
