CAG Socom Thread-SONY SHUTTING DOWN SERVERS AUGUST 31 for S1-CA Tue&Sun10pmEST

[quote name='smiggity']haters take the negativity back to the KZ2 thread k thanks[/quote]
Uh, sorry? Did I say something wrong? And unfortunately I don't have KZ2...
 
I'm still very much interested in playing SOCOM with you guys btw. It's just finals are coming up, so I won't be back on to play until after the 1st week of May.
 
[quote name='skams00']sorry for bouncing, my wireless connection decided to take a shit on me[/QUOTE]

Mine to. But mine seems to be a psn thing as the connection doesn't matter if I use a wireless or wired connection. It always seems to happen to me when I have a solid start. Usually I have a bomb plant/defuse, or escort and then lose it. Last night I had 8 kills through the first three rounds and mid third round---bye bye. What a bummer. See you all tonight for CAG night.
 
I ranked up to 6 last night so that made me happy after that awful match we had. I also only need 1 more mvp for that performance trophy so if you guys could just let me kill you tonight, I'd appreciate it :D

See you guys tonight.
 
See yuo guys tonight. I plan on using all day today to warm up, so I will own all of you, and your mothers by the time game night starts..................not really.
 
How does everyone meet up now? Do you guys just find an open room, use quick match or what?

I'm going to try to make it tonight, pending on how long it takes to finish this project.

Usually on CAG nights a few of us play a quick match or two before 10:00 and then we find an open room. The Europe vs America or America vs Europe servers have usually treated us well.

Hope to see you tonight
 
Hi guys, I just got the game from GS B2G1 sale and I'm looking forward to my first Socom game night. Can someone send me an invite tonight? Thanks. :)

I'll send you a psn friend invite. You can follow from there. It will show the server and room that we are in.

Hopefully a few days off will get my game back in shape after probably my worst day since I got the game. I'll probably be on soon since High Stakes Poker has completely sucked this season.
 
[quote name='Esper']It was nice playing with guys. GGs. I'll try to make it to the next game night.[/quote]
Nice seeing you on Socom night Esper. You stalking me now? lol

Sorry I had to bounce after only two maps. I can never seem to secure enough time to play the game without being interrupted. Again, I apologize profusely about being afk (afc) for several rounds.

I hope with the little time I was there, you guys understood the awesomeness of the GMP, haha.

Again, awesome games guys, awesome games.
 
Had a good time last night. I'd forgotten how intense socom is. I actually didn't do too bad either (well at least for me).

Got my first socom trophy too (Assault 3rd class?)
 
Good games tonight fellas. Mdamore looks like he is trying to raise thad k/d ratio finally. I think that SMGs are the guns for your style 4 sure.

Also apparently it has magical protection against the F90 and Bizon 2. HK7 and some others are weird, too. Typos?

Yeah, I own every game you have! haha. Nah, I just want to see what I'm missing out on. Great games yesterday btw.

Good info... I'm curious about that P90 and Bizon as well though. I might have to switch it up to light armor so I can jump all over the map.
 
[quote name='m_d_amore']wheres the kniving stats?

It seems really random when you get a knife kill, it seems to me in the back is 1 hit kill, in the front I think it is not 1 hit kill.
 
How long does it take to INSTALL SOCOM? I've had it "Installing...Please Wait" for a good 7 minutes now and no status bar ever showed up. Do I just keep waiting? Anyone else have this issue? I may have to return it or something.

NEVERMIND....it started moving now....odd.

so i take it you may be joining us tonite?
 
I should have joined you guys....I just played a few games, I got team killed 3 times and I had a boring experience....

I could not even find an UNRANKED game with RESPAWNS as I just wanted to practice as I have never played a SOCOM game before.
 
Good games tonight, guys. Don't know what was up with the last quickmatch invite, seems like it glitched on me and told me the game didn't exist even though I accepted it immediately. Still had fun though, see you guys on Sunday!

The respawn games are always at the bottom of the room list. Sometimes you need to check a couple different servers to find a game you want to play. It will tell you the info on the bottom of the screen. Some of the 16v16 respawn stuff can get pretty crazy. It's also a great way to mess with your gun set up and the controller speed settings.

All games with CAGs are good games. MisterB was totally robbed of that escort MVP.
 
Latest info on the patch and DLC:

"Patch 1.5 Target Time Frame
Posted by Cindy Bowens

[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I know you are all anxious to hear of a release date for Patch 1.5 and for DLC. You all know by now that we can’t give you a date until we have one that is for sure. But I am going to give you a tentative time frame.

As I mentioned in my post last Friday, the patch is in QA now. Because of its size and all of the new features it includes, extensive testing is planned. So I can tell you that the patch most likely will not be ready before mid to late May.

DLC will not be released until some time after the patch. It will be up to our PR & Marketing teams to release details on what is included in it. But rest assured, the same team who has been working on the DLC all along is still busy getting it ready. I think you will be happy when you hear what is coming in it.

I know you are impatient and you want these things released right away. And I know you are anxious to hear more about them. I will make sure we let you know as much as we can as soon as we can. When we have news we can release, you'll see it here on SOCOM.com.
[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hang in there. The team will get the patch and the DLC to you as soon as they are both ready.

You can comment on this post here."[/FONT]
 
um i think 7 months is a lil bit more than patience for waiting for features that are in the manual and on the box

other franchises are marketing the next sequel 7 months after release let a lone DLC
gimme a break
 
Im still curious how there going to handle DLC, I guess the patch has some sort of code in it to check if you have the DLC. Therefore if they create DLC and non-DLC rooms you are only allowed to enter the rooms if you have the DLC. If they are going to reorganize the rooms, they need to drop at least 1 if not 2 of the 16v16 rooms and add smaller rooms. I personally would love 4v4 medley rooms.

I think killzone DLC has created the limit for me, if it is more than $2 per map I think I'm passing. The only reason I had the COD4 maps was I got the GOTY edition with a code to download them for free.

I haven't seen the socom boards reaction to mid-late may date. I look forward to the bitching.
 
Not to be /6 defender here, but on their maps they have no Single Player to draw from. It will surely be more than $2 per map, but there will also be guns and probably a new faction as well. The server thing will be weird. I think they are assuming everyone that is still playing this game, after all the shit weve been through, will buy the DLC for sure. And they are probably right.

I suggest 5 of you guys get together and split the costs that way. It will be ubercheap then, plus you know additional content will be coming in the future
 
[quote name='smiggity']Ill still gladly fork my $15 over when it drops though[/QUOTE]

Since this is really the only game I'm playing I'll pay whatever they ask. I do hope that they make it cheap enough (or free) so that everyone playing has the new maps/weapons. I get slaughtered enough now with the general population and can't imagine what it'll be like if the only players are the super hard core ones that forked out the extra cash for the maps.

$2 seems pretty cheap considering how incredibly detailed the Socom maps are. There are so many areas that need to be tested to make sure there isn't anything that's super cheap or broken. Every place you go in Socom is crazy detailed. I'm always amazed with all the little things that I notice as I'm looking at my crippled body laying in the middle of the street.

[/QUOTE]

If they introduce new factions I wonder if they'll let you switch without losing all your stats. Personally I'd like to see them lose the night map mode and the famas (or make it control like the model 18). I guess that's not really adding content but it sure would make the game more enjoyable. It's amazing how many groups of french pricks we seem to run into that own us on the commando side and we come back when they move to the mercenaries.
 
Hey guys sorry for my absence the past few nihts I've been kinda absorbed by Faaout 3 if none of you have noticed($30 at blackbuster was to good to pass up). I'll be on tonight though, hope to see at least a few of you on.
 
What ive been waiting for since launch:

[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]As testing continues on Patch 1.5, we thought we could give you a little more information about some of its features. This week we will talk about Clan Ladders.
[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Clan Ladder Match

Clans can battle for the ‘top of the ladder’ position through Clan Matches. Clans may sign up for 4, 8, and 16 player ladders. Matches occur within Daily, Evening and Weekend time brackets allowing clans to schedule the most convenient times. A clan may only have one active ladder challenge at a time, regardless of the time slot it is in, or the size of the clan. The scheduled battle will have to play out or be forfeited before another battle can be scheduled. You can challenge anyone that is in the bottom ten percent of the ladder directly above you. If a challenging clan wins, they take the position of the defending clan, dropping the defending clan down one spot. Ladder positions update after every series of matches, allowing clans to send new challenges.
[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Ladder Details
[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]There are a variety of Clan Ladders in which players can participate in SOCOM: Confrontation. There are three designated time slots that dictate when ladder competition will take place.
[/FONT]

  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Daily Monday-Friday[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Evening Monday-Friday[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Weekend Saturday/Sunday[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]There are three basic Clan Ladder sizes and all require a minimum size clan in order to join the ladder and initiate the battle. If the clan is large enough to join a ladder battle, but the minimum number of members stated below do not show up at the time of the battle, a forfeit will be issued to the team with the lacking number of members.
[/FONT]

  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]4vs4: Clans of 3 players or more may join the 4vs4 ladders.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]8vs8: Clans of 6 players or more can join the 8vs8 ladders.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]16vs16: Clans of 12 players or more can join the 16vs16 ladders[/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Clan Ladders show the current rankings amongst the clans. You can view the clan name, challenge clans and view their ratings inside the ladder area.
