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

Damn, Am I envious of this game.

If only they would combine MW2's gameplay with Socom's behind-the-scenes stuff (clans, tournaments, party system, player profiles... etc...). Now that would be the perfect FPS.

KZ2 implemented some features of both, but the gameplay was overall just too slow for me.

MAG was looking promising because it's based around teamwork & clans, but then I saw the gameplay it was "MEH".
 
Those maps look awesome. Definitely hankering to try those new couple of guns as well. C'mon fucking /6, at least get the DLC in before x-mas.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of MW2. The aim assist is balls, and requires no skill. Well unless you count the ability to play "Where's Waldo" a skill. Plus, the maps are getting repetitive. There's only like 5 maps, and people hate at least half of them enough to vote skip them. The online can also get spotty depending on the host.

Time to fall back into Socom.

And LK, your sig is just plain fugly. Well, just the Kefka part.

I totally agree on the new maps. I'm stoked for all the new stuff coming. Hopefully /6 is able to stay around long enough to d-bug and help shut down some of the glitch spots that people will find. As I watch the videos I can't help but think...There's a spot md will find to kill from and I wonder if md will be able to make that jump.

I'm enjoying MW2 but I totally agree with the stupid aim assist thing and I think the maps and environments all look so sterile compared to Socom. Everything seems artificial and lacks the little details that have been put in by /6.

Definitely time for Socom, and this was a fine showing for a random Wednesday evening.

Socom is the only clan based game. Always has been probably always will. Just buy it and leave the no skill shooters behind!:lol: Socom changes your world. Round based no respawn TEAM focused play>Run around get killed rinse repeat. Even Hardcore S&D cant hold a candle to the intensity that is Breach or Demo, being down 1to 4 and getting the plant.

Yeah, great clan, for a great game. Gonna get some early thanksgiving games in? I will, because frankly, my 10 hour shift tomorrow is going to keep me from playing at all tomorrow. :drool:

Hopefully I'll be back in time for some black friday deals. Great way to burn my bi weekly paycheck tomorrow.
 
The only time I've ever experienced the auto aim thing in MW2 is when your right infront of a guy & your screen slighty moves with him. But that only happens when your right next to him, but in that case, his ass is mine.

There's 16 maps with MW2, & after playing 4 & a half days of MW2, Ive only came across 2 times when a map was skipped.

And yeah, the host thing is bullshit, but atleast it only happens about 1/10 games.
 
so Blader/Kefka u thinkin of coming into Socom then?
It'd def pay off compared to MW2. This is some real clan action, esp with this crew.
Man, I gotta get myself to be good at this game tho. I've gotten lucky a few times, but it ain't consistant
 
Dude the auto aim in CODMW2 is outta contol...Try it in private game, you barely need to aim.

As far as being "good" at this game, its rough..Im still not consistently dominant, when I should be. My gun game comes and goes. You also gotta realize the competition in Socom is leaps & bounds above other shooters on the Market..People have been playing Socom online for damn near 10 years

Wont be at Ladder Match, got a show tomorrow
 
I was thinking about it since it's on the greatest hits $30 list, but I just couldn't get into the gameplay because of how slow it is & it's in third person.

Now If they made socom into a FPS with smaller maps, that would be sick.

I certainly wouldn't call Socom slow. You do need to be deliberate due to the fact that if you die you're done, but it can become quite frantic when a few people from each team meet up. I've played the no respawn games in MW2 and everyone still just runs out and plays a free for all. There isn't any cooperation and people just yell if the last person alive isn't the perfect player (kind of ironic since they're already dead). I think that the team play is what sets Socom apart and in that sense, I feel that /6 really succeeded in their initial goal of making a squad based game that requires teamwork.
 
Just was wondering what all you people that play this game think about the mag beta? I thought it was rubbish and am hoping this game is nothing like that one. I'm going to give it a go in a little bit.

Well its definitely not slow. Light armor with no nades is basically Socom 2 speed. If you played it, you probably had medium armor, which is default. It is more deliberate, like Gold said though. Also the maps are pretty small. I would say Fallen and Urban are the only big maps. Another thing to remember is that not only is it no respawn, there is no regenerating health so most mistakes and you have to watch for 3 mins. I seriously think you should pick this up and play with us, especially if you dominate in MW2. Gamestop has buy 2 get 1 free and its like $15 used. You would enjoy the squad play and shooting mechanics. 3rd person takes getting used to, but is a small mountain to climb.

This is nothing like MAG. Zipper is wasting their time
 
Yeah the aim assist is definitely there. Otherwise, kills wouldn't be as easy to come by. I know for certain I wouldn't have killed someone if it weren't for the aim assist in the game. Just give it a nudge in the general direction and the aim assist takes care of the rest. It's definitely aim assist, not true auto aim, otherwise, you wouldn't have to do a damn thing except press the fire button.
[quote name='LordKefka06']Now If they made socom into a FPS with smaller maps, that would be sick.[/QUOTE]
the fuck, it wouldn't even be socom anymore.

There's something about third person that is so interesting when compared to first person.

Honestly, Socom looks like a horrible game in many people's eyes. You either have loved the game since it's initial conception, or by slim chance you enjoy this unique strategic team based third person shooter that is found no where else (except maybe in GRAW).
 
I honestly can't see any aim assist going on at all. I was screwing around in MP & private matches today & it wasn't helping me at all. The only time it does help is when you are face-to-face with a guy & your camera will shift with the player, but in that case, you would knife him either way. Can you guys please post a video of this, since it's clearly not present with my gameplay.
 
maybe you dont see it cuz thats all you know bro especially if all you play is FPS Sprayin and prayin wont help you either in this game. to me all fps are the same you play 1 you played them all like smog said run kill die repeat here not so much repeating you die you need to alter your strategy so you dont die . you get more adrenaline rushes playing this game than most too pulling off insane victories jumps knives its sick. Like It was said Socom is like chess the rest are checkers



also we are ranked 152 now

and clan match 10 tonite

Turn it off and play.
 
Great win guys, and also great matches after.

[quote name='smiggity']Turn it off and play.[/QUOTE]
I don't think it's possible to turn off the aim assist in multi. And the aim assist is def diff from the single player iron sights lock. fuck you IW, fuck you.
 
Oh you could turn it off in COD4 I think, it just puts you at a severe disadvantage. The real way to tell Aim Assist is to try shooting behind an enemies right ear. Its impossible to do in COD b/c your crosshairs lock onto the dudes head lol

DAMN 137 crazy! Whens next match?
 
Not sure is this is the correct thread, but I felt this didnt need its own thread. I may be getting a ps3 soon and I loved socom II, Im going to assume socom confrontation is similar at least and get it, it seems like a steal for 14.99. My question is, is the community still active, I heard it isnt fun if there arent 32 people in a game, and is it really hard to find a game with 32 people? one last question, what are the old throwback maps, only desert glory and fish hook?
 
It is very similar to Socom2 with some unneeded features put in and some taken out...This game has the most active online community for a Sony game. Around 10000 players nightly which will surely double to 20,000+ a night when the map pack drops around christmas.

Classic maps in game now are Crossroads, Frostfire and Desert Glory. In Map Pack there is Vigilance, Nightstalker and Blizzard plus 2 brand new maps.

The 32 person rooms suck and are not really used by many people. Classic Socom 2 style 8v8 rooms are where the most fun lies. It is not hard to find a 32 person room if you want it though. There is also a matchmaking system as well as the traditional lobby setup

The game is an absolute steal at 14.99, actually Best Buy has it new for $30 with an included $20 PSN Card, which you could use for the map pack and some other game. This is the premier shooter out on consoles right now. And its Socom, although it is not a carbon copy of S2.

Buy it and join the CAG clan, Im sure you will get the Socom feeling back. There is still nothing like it
 
Thanks for the detailed answer smiggity, I think Im gonna get it from my friend, for some reason he hates it with a passion so ill give him a 10 spot and start playing. My 360 just sold on ebay only a my saturn and some other knick knacks have to go before I can purchase this bad boy!
 
[quote name='smiggity']We all have it in us..Gotta unleash the beast!! lol I was killing everything all night, got back to playing smart[/QUOTE]

Including me with that teamkill. You just wanted to get all the kills for yourself didn't you :lol:
 
Here is how I feel right now about the ranking system:

You mean you wouldn't want to basically have a paid SOCOM LAN party all day? Sounds like they don't have to do much actual work on patches or anything. :)
 
Clan Match 10pm TONIGHT guys.

Other team WILL be showing up. Looked like they had a couple 2-1 kdrs so we are gonna have to be on our game.
 
Night Stalker flyby is up on the blog. Looks good, lots of buildings and visibility is much better than Blizzard.

Hopefully 1.6 comes next week in time for the heavy snowfalls.
 
Sorry about missing the game last night. When I logged in, it asked me if I wanted to join the tournament room. I accidentally hit no. Then I was trying to figure out how to get back into the room. By that time the game was beginning already.

Congratulations to all of you for winning.

The other team was a no show so you didn't miss it. For next time, if you click on Briefing Room in the main menu, the next screen has a Clan Match option that you can click on to get into the room.
 
So, everyone's thought on the world cup draw:

About as good as could have happened, bunker bob gets the draw against England, win the other two games, get out of the group. Group G is going to be absolutely fantastic to watch.

You can also go to the messages under community and reopen the one about the clan match. That will allow you to join the clan match through the custom match menu.
 
Game Night Bump!

Also, NEW RULE: If we are playing amongst ourselves, in EXTRACTION ONLY, if the commandos successfully get the hostages to the extraction point the mercenaries cannot kill the hostages, the mercenaries can move them away from the point however.

There is nothing more frustrating then getting the hostages there only too see the last person alive run down and shoot them right before getting on the helicopter.
