[quote name='BREVITY']Can you aim vertically?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, you can aim freely if you tap the right d-pad and then use the nub.
 
[quote name='Jaket']do you need to upgrade to play the beta?[/QUOTE]
Waiting for my package.... :D
You know you can downgrade now right?
 
[quote name='ryanbph']probably the triangle button like in socom 2...how is the controls for movement/aiming?[/QUOTE]

I've only played a couple times, but I can't stand the controls. My specialty in Socom was head shots. Now I have to sit here and either auto lock to the body and unload and get lucky the opponent dies first; OR I have to camp and use the free look mode to try and get a head shot. It is simply too hard to move around then try to free aim when you see someone (especially since they're probably using auto aim).

The way you free look is you tap right on the d-pad, and the nub moves the corsshairs (for all I know in this mode you cannot move the crosshairs and your player at the same time). And iirc if you hold L while in freelook you can move freely by using the nub. But, as soon as you let go L youre back in free look. And I havent figured out how to strafe while in free look, nor have i figured how to look around corners (it seems automatic).

For me, the control scheme on the PSP sucks all the fun out of Socom. Quite possibly too much game for a handheld. The draw distance is harsh as well from time to time. Hopefully I can get used to the controls and maybe enjoy the game. The one upside though...absolutely no lag even with 16 players. I'm sure that is bound to change though as more and more people pack on the servers when the game is released.
 
[quote name='the3rdkey']Nope.[/QUOTE]

Actually you do have to register. I can't believe that you didn't have to do it. I had to register a login name/profile and some other basic info.

I don't know if you have to upgrade as I am at 2.0 on the PSP that I play it on. The game does have a 1.52 upgrader on it, so I imagine so.

The game is pretty fun, even though there is just the one map. I

Press Square for jumping up onto higher levels, etc. Square for dancin' also.

The controls are fine. But for anyone that is a die hard FPS, then the controls are pretty weak. I always have to auto aim, as the controls are far, far too erratic otherwise. Forget the head shots. It's fun and good enough for a portable FPS.
 
[quote name='Bezerker']So the servers are up and running already? Thought it wasnt supposed to be till the 30th...[/QUOTE]

Yeah , I have been on a few times.
 
The thing is: I borrowed it from a friend, loaded it using version changer, and when i "created" a username and password and tried to log in, it says "login failed" So the question is: Do you guys create a new username in game? or use the same one that you signed up as beta testers?
 
I had no problems creating an account with my 1.5 psp & the iso. im sure if you used version changer (if you have the actual umd) it'll work.
 
Ive been in GAP for a year, have 6 PSP games in my collection, yet they still don't put me in the beta :( stupid sony.
 
[quote name='BREVITY']Looks great. Someone should make a vid for us. I hope there will be a pirate version soon.[/QUOTE]

Find a sharp stick and gouge out your eyes.

try again....may have been a connection issue, rather than a log in issue. turn off WLAN power save.

haha man this game is fun as hell. Everyone needs to at least try it.
 
Thanks lurknomore and guyver2077, I created one last night. and played it for a couple of minutes. then the whole things reminds me of counterstrike. So... I turned it off because the slowdowns were bothering me, turned on my PC. and played CS instead =) ANyway my SN in socom is bRaVo9 and I only play in west server.
