total bummer. Hopefully it wasn't a backward compatibility version. I was worried about that with as much Socom as I have played over the last year which prompted my digital purchase.

[quote name='NamPaehc']I am grinding out the last 1K of kills I need for Resistance 2, but I hope to be done by Sunday so I can play Socom again. The mindless killing is driving me crazy, I need more structure![/QUOTE]
Congratulations on making post #2000.

Where things stand now
Hi, All-
I know you are waiting to hear more today about the upcoming patch and DLC. Unfortunately, I was unable to get any assets to share with you this week. But I am still working on it and hoping I get something to show you soon. I'm sorry I said that I would try to have that for you this week. I hate disappointing you.
I guess we also need to talk about the “end of summer” issue. I think it must be pretty obvious by now that the patch and DLC are not ready yet and will not be released before the end of summer. I’m very sorry to have to disappoint you.
As you are all aware, Patch 1.5 took much longer to publish than we had anticipated. In our original schedule, we thought targeting the end of summer for the DLC was reasonable. But it just didn’t work out that way and I’m really sorry about that.
Some of you get very frustrated when we don’t give you an estimated time of release for these things. I have seen numerous posts in the past asking us to just let you know our target time frame. Well, that’s what we did in this case. We let you in on the schedule we were hoping to implement. Now we have to come back and say we were wrong and have disappointed you. This is just one of those “rock and a hard place” situations. If we hadn’t given you a timeframe, people would have been upset. This time, we did give you one and unfortunately couldn’t hit it and I think people are more disappointed than ever.
I know you are anxious to hear more about 1.6 and DLC. As we sort out the new time frame and are able to plan a little bit, I am very hopeful that you will be seeing more info rolling out. Believe me, the folks around here have heard how upset you are and are trying to get things moving. I know you have waited a long time for all of this already. But I have to be the one to tell you that you have to wait a little longer.
We will not be announcing another time frame for the patch or DLC again until we have solid dates that we are very sure of. Once we reach that point, you will see it announced on the blog.
Again, at this point, I can only apologize that there has been this delay. And believe me, I am just as anxious to get you new information as you are to get it. So the moment I am given the go ahead to share anything with you, I promise I will do that.

That's lame. Guess they're too busy playing hockey games and eating bagels, huh?

Oh well... what's a couple more months...lol
Anyways, I have some tips that could help in Socom.
Tidbit about camping corners:
If you notice that when your face flat against a wall, your gun is down. If you see someone and decide to pop out, it'll take a split second for your gun to be brought into firing position. In that split second, you could've shot a couple well placed bullets.
To rectify this, all you have to do is back up away from the wall until your gun is up. Now you won't have to go through the animation of pulling your gun up and squeeze in a couple more bullets than you would coming from face flat on the wall. Keep in mind though you'll be exposing yourself a little more, increasing the possibility that the enemy will see you around the corner. To address this, what I usually do is back up diagonally away from the corner.
Cancelling Spider Sense: (Unfortunately don't know the exact name)
Anyways, spider sense is when an enemy walks within 50 meter (or yards, who knows) distance of your character and your gun goes to an up position. Now the problem is that the gun often doesn't go immediately to "at ease" position when the enemy walks out of your range or you fire off your weapon. Sometimes the gun can remain up for a good amount of time when the enemy is in fact outside of your spider sense range.
To fix this, you can cancel the "gun up" position. All you have to do is engage the running animation. You can hold your run button long enough to run just one step, and it'll return your gun back to "at ease" position after your running animation ends. However, if the enemy is still within the vicinity, your gun will remain up.
This is great to keep possible locations of your enemy up to date. However, if they catch you in the short amount of time you are starting and stopping your run animation, they would have the advantage.
The spider sense can be cancelled when you change weapons as well, however this method takes longer and you are left with a secondary weapon during this time. This cancelling can also be useful for snipers, as their gun automatically goes up after firing off a shot. It will allow them to discern if someone is within closer range.

Controversial Derby Day Victory Bump!!!
Playing like hes 26 not 36
I have to be close to getting SMG elite, I will have to look it up.
As for the Abigale message: My theory, 1.6 isn't done yet simply because they do not know how they are going to separate the people with DLC and not. Do they create separate DLC only rooms? DLC only servers? We have it on good authority the maps have been completed for months, but why haven't we seen anything, because they don't know how to separate people out.

I got out of work relatively early and was excited to play. but disappointed to see everyone finished up early tonight.

And you say XboxLiveSucks?
I've been meaning to play some with you guys lately but I've honestly haven't even been on my PS3 since before PAX except to download the MAG beta and update (which I still haven't played) since the wife has been holding the PS3 TV hostage now that a lot of her Fall shows are back
I should just secretly buy an LCD monitor with HDMI inputs and a slim PS3

I'm jealous. Anytime we've gone during September we are always about 6 hours away from Munich and for some reason the rest of Germany really doesn't do Oktoberfest

Sorry I missed it. My bride discovered that the one show she watches (Top Chef) was back on with a new season. The only TV that gets the channel is the same one I use every night for socom. I should be on for the Friday match. Control is one of my favorite game modes...bummer

Sorry I haven't been able to play yet, but I'm hoping maybe I can roll with you guys on Tuesday.
Hey Starkat, there's a glitch that grays out the team switch button.
All you have to do is highlight a person's name, hit x, go to their profile (don't have to wait for it to load), and press circle to return to the lobby.
Alternatively, you can press select, and then press circle, though, this takes longer the longer your friends list is.
We were trying to tell you over the mic, but it seems you can't hear us. Also, no sound comes from your mic either.

Yeah I was having a bunch of issues sorry guys. My Mic was spazzing out, the team switching business, weird graphic problems too. I was too distracted to play anyways but I wanted to sneak a few rounds in. I missed some shots I should have made and lost it for us because of all the commotion around here so maybe it wasn't the best idea.
