Socom 3 beta testers

[quote name='CaseyRyback']I saw that you could start a clan. Anyone tried this?

Maybe we could have a CAG clan for the beta[/QUOTE]

Count me in on the beta clan if we start one.
 
[quote name='Chris Dillon']well, its a beta so its yet to be cleaned up and polished graphically yet. ANYBODY WANT TO SELL THEIR COPY.[/QUOTE]

Really, I thought betas fixed up gameplay.
 
count me in on the clan also. got mine after i got home from class today. probably play some later tonight, or tomorrow.

I always was under the impression that this was the finished version accept for some visual and sound issues. This was to make sure everything was quality gameplay wise just to make sure.

Then you are mistaken, sir.

It's supposed to be a glitchy nightmare.
 
[quote name='Apossum']OMG, somebody just offered me $180 for my beta copy :shock:[/QUOTE]

There is one on E-bay for $91.00, with over 2 days left in the auction.
 
I've been actively reporting each and every eBay beta auction I come across. Sony may have screwed the pooch big time by sending some people 2 discs, but crap like this isn't exactly fair to those of us who have yet to be sent the beta to begin with. Not to mention it is highly against the rules of Sony's beta program.

Keep up the good work!

*hides bong*
 
anyone want to show me how to play this game tonight?

I just played for an hour and thought it sucked, but it was probably because I suck. So far this game ain't got shit on Modern Combat

i am still waiting for mine, but after how bad i thought they messed up socom 2, I wouldn't be suprised if modern combat cleaned house with socom. I loved the first socom, put in way to much time with it, but barely touched the 2nd one.
 
I'm not liking the demo very much either, it might be the fact that the PS2 controller is horrible for shooters. I liked Socom 1 though, it sucks that there is only one map and its pretty big.

Way too big. Way too big.

I ran around for like 4 or 5 minutes my first game before running into anyone at all. It doesn't help that the graphics are muddy and the draw distance is too low to be really effective on a map that big.

Also, what's the deal with everyone having the same color text above their head regardless of team?

exactly my problem. And when you do find someone they shoot you because they have the drop on you.

Even if they have the same color, why do the uniforms have to be so closely colored? I mean Dark Green and Dark Blue are really hard to tell apart with the crappy graphics they have.
 
Ahh, its a shame that sony did this to SOCOM 3... SOCOM 2 was a dissapointment but I played it for frostfire mostly and b/c no cheaters.

EDIT: How do people compare BF2 to socom... is socom 3 really like BF? Because I think BF is different in many ways.

played both beta's and Battlefield wipes the floor with this game. You can identify who is on your team, there are tons of vehicles so the big stages do not seem huge like the Socom stages, and there is a clear objective.
 
I just got mine today, I doubt I'll play it anytime soon if at all (Have no Time). I might just give it to my friend.
 
I loved the battfiled beta...it was a solid game, looked like a complete game imo, as I didn't run into any bugs/glitches, and the graphics were solid

Yeah, that's another one there. I'd expect to at least use the color of the text above someone's head to tell if they were on the other team, but unfortunately all we're left with is muddy uniform textures that are hard to tell apart.
 
if anyone who didn't get in on the beta wants a copy, pm me. no funny stuff, i just don't want it
 
Anyone playing this today? I feel an obligation to play it some more, even though I don't enjoy it all that much.
 
wow. this demo really blows. Maybe if this had come out before Halo 2, BF, etc., I might have been more impressed. But if I wanna play an online shooter, it ain't gonna be SOCOM 3 at this point!

I had all the same probs that you guys are talking about - running around forever without seeing anyone, trouble identifying enemies, choppy graphics, clunky interface for selecting weapons/choosing games.

Boo, sony, just booo.
 
Well I got a lovely message yesterday:


Hello B,

Thank you for writing us.

Due to overwhelming response to the SOCOM 3 beta program, we regret to inform you that we no longer

disc was not delivered to you.

Please note that if you are unable to participate in this beta program, it will not negatively
affect your chances of qualifying for future beta testing opportunities with Sony Computer

-------------------------

I have not yet received my Beta test materials.
As per the Beta test notice, I'm sending this message at least 2-3 days after the expected drop date
of August 9th. I live in a home with exclusive mail delivery so the chance of it being stolen or
mis delivered is very slim.
Please send me the Beta test materials as soon as possible as I would very much like to participate
or be of any help in the development process.
Thank you,

I guess I lose...
 
I NO LONGER HAVE THE BETA FOR TRADE.

and the prices people are paying for this PIECE OF SHIT on ebay are criminal. The guy I shipped it to probably listed it the second he got it and he'll burn in hell for that(no offense dude) ;-)
 
Wow, I never even thought of giving it away for free with an expensive envelope :)

I guess its time to sell off Socom 1 with a 'free' demo, its probably wrong...but if people want to play this so bad let them have at it.
