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

[quote name='kurokubushi']That was some fun stuff tonight guys, Even though I kept getting Network errors.[/QUOTE]

It was a lot of fun but for some reason I couldn't get anything going. When I was on earlier in the evening things were clicking but as the night went on, it seems that everything kept getting worse as the bullets started to find my face quicker and quicker.
 
Yeah, last night was fun. We found some really tough opponents, too. There was one cluster of rounds where I couldn't stay alive for more than 30-45 seconds! Playing infinite respawn deathmatch with Goldbug at the end of the night was a good time, as well.

Ah...you should put that in your profile!
 
hopefully my shit dont drop every 5 minutes tonight . was horrible last night.
right now it seems fine but who knows.
I hope my rank comes back when my connection issues leave




What do you think of all the socom blog posts of late? seems llike the community is teaching /6 how to play

Dude go to the first blog post about XRoads Suppression/Elim. Click the link that says "Discuss this post here". Check like the fourth or 5th post down.
 
See you houys tonight, I'll probally be on and off because I plan on catching that new Family Guy episode tonight, but mabey I'll just record it who knows.



(100th post!!)
 
I have to leave for a business trip tomorrow afternoon (Vagas, baby!) and I haven't even packed yet...so it looks like no SOCOM for me tonight or the rest of the week. :cry:
 
I wish I hadn't stopped playing this game for so long after it came out because I'm sucking royally at it now when I used to be able to get a few kills per round. I'm not giving up but that was pretty damn discouraging to get like 3 kills the whole night and then I got team killed 2 or 3 games as well. Also, were a bunch of guys using heavy armor last night or is the lag just that bad because one instance (SmogItUp) I had to unload a full AK clip into you to kill you (I was even pulsing my shots to counteract the recoil), my claymores killed no-one, 5 sniper rounds hitting someone coming after me didn't put them down, and then another time I unloaded 2 full F90 clips into someone and they proceeded to kill me instead! I know I was hitting them because I heard the hit noise and saw the blood spray. I remember back in the beginning easily picking people off with all of these before the big patch so I don't know what was going on. Anyway, I'll see you guys on Tuesday night but I think I'll get on tonight and try to practice :cry:
 
Really good games last night, and getting the good conduct trophy and then accidentally teamkilling each of the next two round is wonderful irony. Sorry about not talking once I died at the end, my headset was dying so I was sticking the usb cable into it asap to keep it alive until the end of the night.
 
It was fun last night and thought I did pretty good seeing as how I haven't played in about a month. But, my noobness shined when I decided to let 2 VIPs stay alive when I had plenty of time to kill them, and decided to let an enemy disarm out bomb because I wasn't sure which team he was on. Good times.

I think I remember that. I was like "Wow, I cant believe Im not dead" when I was getting hit with that AK. Eventually I died but I even felt like I was taking an abnormal amount of hits. I always roll with light/light armor so it must have been lag or something. Also I walked right through someones claymores on DG extraction. They are hit or miss. I made sure that I had utorrent off last night so I dont know. 5 sniper rounds is just ridiculous. It should not take more than 2. There were a few people with heavy armor on but that doesnt explain it.

Yeah I was surprised at how well you did. The team got a good laugh watching you chase the VIPs around:lol:

Looking forward to Tuesday!
 
[quote name='smiggity']Great rounds all. I love this game[/QUOTE]

I totally feel the same way.

Playing with a room full of CAGs is great. Towards the end of the night when we start to get random people in the room really changes the game. People start to bitch and complain when someone doesn't do things "perfect," which is always kind of ironic as they are doing their complaining from the death side of the game.
 
[quote name='smiggity']We should just start kicking out everyone who joins our games.[/QUOTE]

I'm cool with that. I was referring more towards the end of the evening when there are only 5-8 CAGs left online

I think I may have been your p90 guy, there were a few times where I took alot of damage but was still abel to get the kill. I rock hesvy/Medium armor though.


Smiggity: Yeah, some one said last noght that if we do it then they are blocked from the room for 24 hours, but it's not like there aren't any games/servers they can't join.
 
Good times tonight guys. At least I did better tonight and got more kills. Damn, I was looking at the trophies and I know /6 said they wouldn't be easy but it's sure gonna take some serious gametime.
 
[quote name='woodcan']Damn, I was looking at the trophies and I know /6 said they wouldn't be easy but it's sure gonna take some serious gametime.[/quote]

Yeah I have like close to 8 hours of ranked play and have 2 trophies. The only one I'm even close to is the first assault rifle trophy, 250 kills is a lot for someone who is not very good at the game like me.
 
Oh, question for you guys. Do you know if the Trophies are for Ranked play only? Reason I ask is that you sure could get kills faster in a respawn game I would think.
 
[quote name='MisterBee']Tonight if by some miracle I actually game a bomb plant, would you kindly move away from the site. :D[/QUOTE]

It helps if you follow md's lead and start yelling "get away" as soon as you plant. I'm never going to get that trophy since it seems once or twice every CAG night I get spooked coming around a corner and pop someone on my side.
 
Finally justified my ACOG and got a couple quality long-range kills tonight. I think one was md trying to hide behind a hostage or something, hehe.

It made up for all those other times Slaugher shotgunned me. ;
 
good games last night...finally off the late night shift so i can get back to catching bullets with my dome and running around aimlessly when i should be planting bombs or extracting folks. been gone a month and the turnout for cag night has practically doubled, SWEET!
 
Good times last night guys. I think I'm finally getting back into the groove of this game but damn those trophies seem pretty far off and I couldn't seem to find anything in the menus showing how far off of ranking up I am.
 
Yeah here is the ranking structure. Remember this is different from Confrontation Rating, which should fluctuate daily.

So it's safe to say this structure still works:

Games Played

Rank 1: Games 1-14
Rank 2: Games 15-29
Rank 3: Games 30-59
Rank 4: Games 60-119
Rank 5: Games 120-239
Rank 6: Games 240-479
Rank 7: Games 480-959
Rank 8: Games 960-1919
Rank 9: Games 1920-3839
Rank 10: Games 3840+


Wins

Rank 1: Wins 1-7
Rank 2: Wins 8-15
Rank 3: Wins 16-31
Rank 4: Wins 32-63
Rank 5: Wins 64-127
Rank 6: Wins 128-255
Rank 7: Wins 256-511
Rank 8: Wins 512-1023
Rank 9: Wins 1024-2047
Rank 10: Wins 2048+

That's really strange because I swear when I last checked I had somewhere around 49 games played and 9 wins but I'm still ranked 1 :cry: Maybe it takes a while to update the ranks.
 
[quote name='smiggity']What happened to FrankySox and RYANend? Haven't seen them log on in a minute.[/quote]

I got caught up with stuff yesterday. :cry:

I'll try to make it on Sunday. No promises though.
 
That was fun tonight guys, although we spent most of the night getting our asses handed to us. I sucke royaly, I think I got mabey 4 kills the whole night and all of those when it was just us.

When I actually got to play last night it was fun. Condor and I were having a grand time extracting hostages against a room full of newbies and then I lost my internet connection. Our phone and internet were both out, but for some reason the cable for the television still worked. Thankfully when I got up this morning both were working again. It gave me a chance to catch up on my sleep and play some of the Killzone demo.
 
I really need to get back into this. I should be able to show up both Sunday and Tuesday. The last three weeks I've been really busy. Spring break I can just sit back, relax, and die in the first 10 seconds of the round.

Also, goldbug does your PSN refer to bumblebee from transformers?

I guess it just takes some time to update the rank because when I logged on last night it showed I was finally a rank 2.

BTW, I was planning to join the battle royale last night but the game was full so after about 10 minutes I just switched over to Killzone 2 to play with a buddy of mine since I hadn't even opened the game yet. That game is pretty damn fun but I'll still be playing SOCOM since I consider them fairly different. Funny side-note is that I kept throwing grenades when trying to run in KZ2 because I had SOCOM on the brain :lol:
