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

You know one thing that was apparently not fixed with the patch that happened again to me twice last night was the glitch where my screen shows me holding my primary gun but nothing happens when I pull the trigger to shoot.....it's about 1 second later that I realize the damn game had a graphical glitch and I see the grenade that was dropped at my feet instead of my gun firing.

I have a question about controls. A few of you were talking about your controller sensitivity settings last night but I got no answer to my question. What exactly is the "Dead Zone" setting supposed to do? Is that just for the amount of joystick movement before your cross-hairs move?
 
Well I played with Smog for a little bit today then came back on and practiced all day. I think after a few hours I started getting a hang of the maps I was playing and some spots I could take advantage of.
Unfortunately I will probably forever suck at objective game modes but I do pretty good in suppression. I love being the mercenaries because the gun I'm the best with is the F90, I just plain suck with the M141 or whatever is it. I did a little better once I turned the firing down to one bullet instead of 4. So I guess I was wondering if there are any good sub machine guns for the Commandos.

After today I officially love this game. I just finished MGS4 and Resistance2 so I should be on a little bit more.
 
Good to hear Franky. We need some fresh blood in the squad.

Deadzone is exactly how you described it flesh, the amount of joystick movement it takes to move your crosshairs on screen.
 
Are game updates inclusive of older patches? Half a gigabyte is a pretty good chunk of hard drive space. I sure hope updates this big don't become a common occurrence.

It’s also important to remember that your choice of servers in Medley games can make a difference in your lag issues. Playing on foreign servers can increase your lag greatly. It’s important to stick to the servers for your own area. For example, if you are in North America and you play on a Japanese server, you will likely experience more lag. I’m sure many of you know that already, but there may be a few out there who still aren’t aware of it.

I haven't noticed any type of lag when we use the Italy server. If they want people to use the server closest to their region then they are going to need to triple the number of 8x8 and 4x4 rooms. Every North America server that I looked in last night was full of people in those rooms, even if there were only 100-150 people in that region. Most of the 16x16 maps sit empty while the 4x4 demo and 8x8 medleys are all full.
 
This almost fell to page two, we can't let that happen! LOL

What gear does everyone carry? I have Smoke and C4 on the Commando side (Which is a problem like last night when neither I nor Gold had frags to toss up into the tower in Crossroads to take out a sniper) and Smoke and Frags on the Merc side. I have smoke for both sides because of Escort/Extract and C4 for Breach. I try to keep everything constant just for simplicity, I probably should just get better at switching stuff around before and during rounds.
 
usually c4 and nades commando
nades and clays mercs
best to rock 4 nades for elim and supression or Merc escort
man im going thru withdrawals im this close to buying it on the psn but theres no way to recoup my dough thru sharing sucks man hopefully my coffin comes today or tomorrow

Aww man it went down? That sucks. Hopefully it only takes a week or so. I guess better now than later though, since Gold and I havent been around. When I was on the other day with Franky I had to put my disk in three times for the ps3 to read it. Havent tried since then. Ill be back up this weekend, probably tomorrow night.

4 nades for elim/suppression on my Mercenarie and Flashbangs and Smoke on my Commando b/c Commandos usually need to complete the objective to win
 
[quote name='smiggity']Yeah I should bust the claymores out more[/quote]

The claymores are hard as hell to kill someone with...there is a lag between when you press the detonator and when they go off, mabey this was fixed in the patch, I havent tried. The abilty to set them off in prone position will help, but I still think these should be a proximity explosive and not set off by a detanotor...this is the first game I played that had it set like that.

You can get a better chance of getting a kill if you set up multiple claymores. I also believe they blow up in the direction they are facing. I remember getting someone else, and they were a good distance away (about the same range as a frag) and it managed to kill.
 
they(SonY) say you can Gameshare this on the phone . is that bullshit or what?

im seriously thinking of just buying it on the store so i can get in on some action unless someone talks me out of it.
my trigger finger is itchy
 
You'll probably have to redownload the patches and reset all your settings if you get the store version... just something to keep in mind.

You CAN gameshare this but there is a 24hr lock on the account that played it last. For example if we got it and you played it tonight, I wouldnt be able to play it until 10pm tomorrow. So in theory it is shareable but realistically its pretty much useless.

As far as the claymore thing, I think they will be bringing proximity mines back in the series at some point.

Yes, claymores are directional in that they blow away from you at the point of placement (i.e. when you place them they are set to blow forward and a certain radius). Also, unlike COD4 you have to detonate them manually.

My default is claymores and frags but have been trying the flash bangs with the commandos on occasion and I've also changed to 4 frags in suppression a couple of times. It's interesting because before the updates I used to be able to get at least a couple of claymore kills per full game but now I think I've gotten none.....it's like they gimped them since I've exploded them on enemies several times and they've survived.

has that been confirmed?
 
Sorry I didn't show up last night guys. I had full intentions of coming but the wife was using the TV that I have the PS3 hooked up to but I should be there on Tuesday.
 
Yeah, looks like I'm off of Socom for another week or so. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on by the time Goldbug comes back.
 
[quote name='bmachine']Went to see Modest Mouse last night but I'll definitely be there on Tuesday.[/quote]

Were they drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' Coca Coca Cola?

Ha! Isaac was drinkin' something, but Coca Cola probably wasn't the main ingredient. They didn't do Tiny Cities, unfortunately...but they did 3rd Planet, Bury Me With It, Jesus Christ Was An Only Child, and a bunch of other good stuff. :applause:

Moon and Antarctica is good stuff... I went with a friend to a Modest Mouse concert and afterward he said he was disappointed they didn't play The View. I was like what the fuck?

M16.
 
I probably won't make it tonight. St. pattys day celebrations + tons of school work + booze probably not the greatest combined with Socom.
 
I hope to get in on the game tonight. Haven't played it in quite a while so please forgive the suckage.
 
Ah shucks. I might play a round or two but I have a SFIV CAG tourney tomorrow that I should probably practice for since I haven't played the game in over a week.
 
[quote name='starmask2k3']can i join the clen i have the disc ver[/quote]


Clan invite sent. Try to accept before tonight so you can get invited to the game easily.
 
Jeez I don't follow the thread and come to find out randy_wrecked went to see Modest Mouse and didn't invite me! Shame on you!

Anyway, should be there tonight.
 
Is tonight going to be a wash? Sounds like only a few of us will be on. Who's hosting?

I waited outside of Terminal 5 for you. In the cold. For over an hour.

Guess your invite got lost in the mail. ;)
 
Sorry for not showing up, I've got the march madness. Well, I've got the "Hey, Kentucky sucks but they are playing in the NIT on espn tonight" madness.
 
[quote name='smiggity']Gotta love them haters.... psshhh 18-4 son[/quote]

There were 10 other people dying to hear that conversation when it was just you and the hater left. Despite that, it was an awesome game, I thought we lost when the guy did not commit suicide that last round.

Haha last night was a great time. Best socom night in a while for sure. Surprisingly when it was just us 2 left we worked pretty well together after I told him to stop being a bitch and come help me plant. I love it how after we got the plant and the round ended that one guy we were playing with was like "Almost everyone was doubting you". CAG clan knew I was gonna take care of business. ;)

Best part about last night was just shutting those kids up. They were talking so much crap for 1 kill a round players(Camping at that!). The fact that they were scared to move being 1 man down is a joke.

Sorry about that grenade TK MisterB. I was launching all of them in the doorway and then all of a sudden one was rolling down the hill in front of me. 2 teamkills with one grenade:whistle2:#
 
Sounds like I missed some interesting action after I left yesterday.

Anyway, I've found my new strategy - run around between the opposing team and just have them TK each other on accident. Worked on a couple of occasions.
