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

[quote name='m_d_amore']IM never gonna be 1:1 :([/quote]

Get off the machine gun/shotty garbage. lol Its hard to be a 1:1 when you are the objective completing master.

[quote name='MisterBee']Don't feel bad about it, I'm just hoping to stay above the 1:2 line...[/quote]

Why you sell yourself short? You are a low key beast at Socom. Remember 4-1 twice in a row?!?!:lol::lol:
 
Great games tonight guys. md defending those hosties by himself was hilarious.

I think I'm getting decent with the sniper rifles. They're actually pretty fun to use. At least on a 16v16 map, haha.

I'm so bummed I had to drop out last night. Since there was no school today I was planning on playing all night. My internet connection quit around 12:00am in mid-game. At 1:00 is still wasn't back so I had to give it up and go to bed.
 
yea guys sorry I fucked up that last one. we put up a good fight.
do it again tonight. I think im about 20 wins away from 500 so this should be the weekend
 
[quote name='smiggity']Yeah dude I was wondering what happened to you. We all called it quits after an epic underwater battle between md and the other team[/quote]


Yeah I just went to bed after it randomly disconnected me from the game last night, I had planned on calling it quits after that match anyways, I'll be on tonight, and I dont have work tomorrow so should be able to stay on later.

I hope to be on later tonight as well.
 
Finally hit 500 kills and almost got the wins requirement. I was dissapointed to see I only have like 70 extractions outta 150. Still gonna be a minute....
 
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hello, All-

I’m glad we were able to share with you last week some of the community requested features that will be included in Patch 1.50. I talked with one of our producers this week and found out about a few more items I wanted to share with you.

[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Option to Disable D-Pad lean and re-assign left and right directional buttons.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Ladder Climb less audible.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Round timer for 8x8 Medley decreased to 5 minutes.[/FONT]
  • [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Picking up the bomb prompt now has priority when a body is on top of the bomb. [/FONT]
[FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]
I know you are all anxious for this patch to be released. As work continues on it, we will update you on its progress.

I also found out the answer to another question I have been getting lately. Many have wondered if there was going to be another stat reset with this patch. I learned that at this time, there are no plans for a stat wipe.

We hope you continue to enjoy Confrontation as the team continues to work to get Patch 1.5 out to you. We do read the forums and appreciate your feedback and suggestions!

gold you do seem to have terrible luck with getting hit, somehow I went 4/4 hitting all three vips and then you. the next round with the sniper rifle it took me about 4 shots to hit one guy. I knew standing in the other extraction for about 10 seconds and nothing happening what was going on. I was planning to leave the vips alone and just kill you, but you were hidden off to the side throwing the smoke.

Im still pissed that I let the guy I knifed in round one kill me the next two rounds (he is dead one round if I could actually throw a grenade).
 
Initially, reviews for this game were lackluster, has Sony fixed the online play? I'm debating about picking this up today....curious if myself, coming in new, will get killed easily...or is there balancing?
 
What do you mean by "balancing"? It is one of the most balanced shooters (besides the Famas) out there. But you will be getting owned for a week or so until you figure out the maps, choke points, controls etc.

Either way its the best console shooter on the market.

Edit- I guess I should explain more. All ranked games are NO respawn. So seeing Halo 3 in your sig Im not sure if you would be down with that. And it pretty much only takes 3-5 bullets to drop someone.
Any and all new CAGs are welcome, so if you snag it drop a line in here and we will send you a clan invite

Good games last night guys, Even though I was sucking it up royaly except for that 4v4 escort in Urban Wasteland. See those of you that will be there, tonight.
 
@doubledown: To be honest, the first good amount of your time will be spent during loading and watching other people play. Rounds are 6 minutes (soon to be 5 with the next patch). After you get pretty proficient and are able to last a while, this game will be awesome, I guarantee it.

Like smog said, it takes a few shots to die, but the same goes for other people. If you join us, I'm sure you can just follow someone to get used to the maps (they can get huge at times).

While I play this game, I usually have my laptop on standby, so if I do die early on, I'll just be browsing the internet or maybe do something productive (gasp). Yes, rounds are that long.

The internet play is fine, I really haven't seen too much lag, if at all this past week playing random games (quick matches) with or without the rest of the CAG clan.

There are some glitches, but I'm sure the developers are working hard to fix them. They released the last patch not long after the one before on account of a spawning glitch. This is probably the only PS3 game I've experienced so far with such frequent patching (I find this a good thing).

All in all, the game is very playable. Though it takes some time to learn the ins and outs of Socom, you'll be rewarded with a solid realstic team-oriented 3rd person shooter once you do.

On a similar note, I recieved the no sound glitch for the first time with my headphones on. I guess it can happen to almost anyone.

Thanks for feeling my pain. I'm not quite sure how I can die after the round has ended, but sure enough I found a way to do it.

I have to echo Smog's comments. The learning curve is steep with the maps and game modes but once you get them down this game is horribly addicting. A few months ago there were 3-4 of us that were on every night. Now it's 6-12 CAGs every night. Since the last few patches I haven't had any issues with lag even in a full 16v16 room. Since everyone is a human controlled player, killing and winning is most satisfying especially when you work together as a team to do it. The current sound glitch is really annoying and the only fix seems to be the red/white audio cables but like Option stated I'm sure Slant6 is hard at work fixing it.

The 4v4 in Urban Wasteland was a lot of fun. Any time Smog is on the other team you've got to be on your toes all the time.

Sorry I couldn't make it on tonight. Easter Bunny duties have taken priority. See you all for CAG night tomorrow.
 
Whos bringin the Peeps????

Seriously that is for sure why your hit % is so low md. Many a rounds have you let off a full LMG clip after it was officially over. Im gonna hop on in an hour or so to get a few matches

That's a good idea, maybe I'll get jakked up on some Peeps tomorrow for Socom night.
 
I dont know what the fuck was up with this game last night, frist it was having issues with me connecting to the party, then it disconnected me from the game(for the 2nd time that day) after that I restarted my ps3, and redid my internet settings, and when I booted up the game again it wouldent let me connect to the network at all for ike 5 mins.


Also has any one else been getting an error message when ever they try to do anything? NO matter if its checking messages, connecting to games, or any thing I get a message along the lines of "The opperation could not be performed because of a connetion problem with the server. " This pops up 2-3 more times after you hit ok and then just dose what you were trying to do anyway, but its getting anoying.

I haven't had any type of error message like that. The only message that I've had is the one that talks about the stats may not be recorded properly. That has only come up once or twice since the 1.4 patch awhile back. It used to come up more before that patch.

I will be on tonight, totally rushing on peeps and Cadbury eggs
 
Sorry about leaving early, had to do some work. I was starting to suck anyway. Thanks for the tip off MisterB, I felt better once I layed some 50 caliber bullets in a random player's throat.

Also learning about that accuracy after rounds got me trying to stop shooting unecessarily. I just try to use proximity chat instead to get my point across, hehe.
 
Why oh why can I not finish games off. Twice last night I have stellar first rounds and then choke the rest only to have someone catch me and take the mvp.

At least I haven't had a sound glitch since switching to stereo, but man I miss my 5.1.
 
good games guys last night

I passed out on that last game oh well i wonder if i was snoring on prox chat lol

Damn you Smog when you was by the dumpster i heard you buck some pistol shots so i thought you wanted to do a pistol fight. man i put my model on single shot only to get blasted in the face with a HK oh well
 
Just happened to pick this game up earlier today.. I used to play socom 2 all the time, and after reading a few posts here decided to pick it up despite the poor reviews. Hopefully I'll get to play around with the game in the next couple of days and get decent, before trying to keep up with you guys.. lol

Awesome! Glad you decided to check here before you picked it up. Seems like we have the most active clan on all of CAG.:applause::applause: New players are always welcome and dont worry about your skills. We were all there at some point. Hit me and the others in this thread up with a friend invite. Also ignore the OP since I never update it.
 
Man, we ran in to some tough individuals last night, too bad their teams couldn't do anything to help them out.

3 more extraction games for my trophy.

Briefly I was a 4 rating, which is the highest I've ever been, but checking stats online I'm back to a 1, which is where I really should be lol.

Will do... Its always more fun to work with a team of people that you know vs a group of random strangers.. lol
 
Socom community is active and The Cag community is very active .
This is by no stretch KZ2 mindless killing it aint.

a whole Squad of us will be on tonight you guys should hop in the melee
 
Some weird connection issues tonight, got booted from the game twice and lagged all the way out of psn twice. I have never been booted out of psn since I turned off media sharing months ago.

Stupid tour of duty medal, sitting on 99% for the maps and having no way of knowing which map i need to play.

I think I finally reach the point where I am a truly 1:1 or better player. Going to take a while to make up the 400+ deaths from the first months of playing.

Good games tonight, especially the perfectly executed bomb plant. Man I was pissed after losing that one-on-one frostfire round, especially after getting 3 kills during that round.
 
Yeah good games, fun night! Wasn't expecting to get MVP any of those times, let alone three in a row. Too bad there's no trophy for that haha.

Will be on tomorrow night since I get off work at 8 PM, so see some of you guys then.

The CAG vs CAG nights sure are a great change from the other nights of the week. It seems that we have such a balanced group that the games are always pretty close.

As far as all your MVPs last night...How could you not be expecting to get those. You were ripping through everyone. I think there needs to be a test for performance enhancing substances. Either that or you're using Smog's glitches and cheats.lol

Was that the one where we met in the corner by the ramp at the edge of the map? hehe, sorry man. I was actually following you for a minute, but I lost you when I turned the corner. I guess I got lucky and my aim actually worked.

Those were definitely some good games, my favorite moments were shooting Smog in the head after I poked out away from that box by the half wall, and shooting MD in the head before he had a chance to shotty me to death :)

Taking the supressor off the SMG's definitely help out a lot though it could just be the placebo effect. I think it even helped my aim because I was killing people in Quarantine when I was like 40 feet away.
 
All of this talk of Socom makes me wish I had the time to play with you guys still.

End of semester = being exhausted and going to bed before 10 :hot:

Does the regular crew still play like everynight until the wee hours of the morning?

I can't wait until the semesters over and all I have to do in the mornings is go to work.
 
Good games last night guys. Glad I finially got out of my 1-2 kills for an entire match slump.


I disovered last night that heavy armor makes the biggest diffrence when facing someone with a shotty. Last night there was a couple times as Camando and facing off against a merc with an auto-shotty and I take like 3 shot gun blasts, and I'm only down to 1/2 health.
 
Finally got a sniper trophy last night (no more snipers for a while). But it seems I'm more proficient with the assault rifle (noteably the ak). My pistoling was off as well, I just couldn't handle the kick up of the deagle.

Pistols are fine in this game, the best I can usually do is get a draw against an automatic weapon. I think the deagle with one shot kills wouldn't be massive since the kick up at close range is massive. But if someone is good at aiming on the first shot, I'm sure it can easily be seen as abusable.

Great games last night. Gen was beasting it up as always and MisterB kept owning me with knives, haha.
 
[quote name='option.iv']MisterB kept owning me with knives, haha.[/quote]

I don't think I got you once with a knife last night, not for lack of trying though lol. Your damn pistol got me way to many times for my liking ;).

Sunday night I did get you a few times in the back.

Either way, I still feel the pain of getting slashed in the back.

That's the thing with snipers. I really suck with them. I really need a good team to distract everyone else while I try to pick off. If I'm by myself, I usually start shitting my pants. Sure enough, whenever I'm looking around a corner or zooming out, there's someone behind me nice enough to give a love stab. I'm up for some games tonight whenever GTA night is over (or when I'm craving some socom).
 
[quote name='smiggity']Why the fuck are they working on a new PSP Socom game????????????????? No one gives a shit. Give me new maps NOW. fuck /6[/QUOTE]Well, Slant 6 did do pretty good work on SOCOM Tactical Strike and Syphon Filter: Combat Ops (games worked online too and were more complete, on PSP). Like I've somewhat said before, SCEA should have left Slant 6 to PSP development only (which they do well, kind of like the purpose of High Impact Games, BigBig Studios, and other PSP centric studios Sony owns or works with), and had a Next-Gen console oriented developer (one with some higher end graphics/programming/online experience) to do SOCOM on PS3 (kind of like how Insomniac does PS3 games, while High Impact does their PSP stuff. Or even how Evolution does the PS3 stuff, while BigBig does the PSP stuff).

I'll admit that I was a bit surprised to see the news at the PS Blog.
 
I picked it up also at the BBV sale. Hopefully I get a chance to try it out soon. I wish they did offer a "deathmatch" type game, the 1 respawn could get boring, but I played games like that in the past.

There is respawn games in basically every server, they are just custom nonranked games. If being unranked doesn't bother you, you can basically play this game like every other tps.
