[quote name='FriskyTanuki']Just got around to trying it out (thanks again, aznguyen316!) and here's the results:
-Got to game with a free spot, joined, waited the 10 minutes for it to load, saw a minute of gameplay before the end of the round, heard people talking at the score screen, and after a few minutes, I realized it had frozen when I noticed that I hadn't heard anybody talk for a few minutes.
-Loaded up again, went into the same room, and it froze while trying to see if I could add myself to my own friends list.
So, yeah. :lol:[/quote]
I got the same issues as Frisky. Saturday was really bad and I couldn't get into a game. It would freeze at the loading screen. When you try to quit, it shut the system off. Sunday morning I finally got into a working game after some loading.
It seemed ok. I had quite a bit of laggy matches so I'll reserve judgment on graphics and performance for now. Controls were confusing at first. About customizing controls, can you not map FIRE to R2?? Not that R2 is perfect, but I wanted to see what it would be like. I tried to move things around but it wouldn't let me switch those two.
Main issue...I had no sound, voiceover or ambient. I'd get the occasional background music but that's it. Anybody else have probs w/ sound?
It's too early to say, but it seems like the kind of Socom I like. Just not sure it's gonna hold up w/ all the games coming out this holiday season. If they fix it up a bit, I'd be on board for $40. We'll see if the beta gets better.
smiggity: The game crashed and I didn't go back in after it crashed twice. I'll check my invites later to free up space.
