Beta Testing

Hey there everyone. Just letting you know that a few of us have been beta testing, as you know, and wanted to kinda let you know my thoughts.

The graphics are off the hook. Sounds are awesome (I only wish I had a surround sound). These two attributes were the greatest thing that caught my eyes and ears. I did take awhile to figure out the controls. I needed to learn how to configure the weapons quick swap and running by pressing down R2. I like the fact you just tap O to change your weapons firing cycle (single, burst, full auto and M203).

Some annoyances I did occur is that the grenades blast radius is like 2feet at max. There are however propane tanks and gas barrels all around, especially in corners, if when shot blow up. Kinda cool for corner hiders. Oh, and same for vehicles if blown you can get fragged if you are near them. Gun loading takes longer and is very annoying. They added a knife attack if you are caught reloading by pressing the L3. I love slicing them up during reload.

Two new guns so far. Seals got what looks like a lighter version of a IW. The Terrorist got a full auto shotgun that holds 20 rounds. It is one of my favorites during indoor fights.

There are no coders messing things up. However there is a problem with the game itself where as invisible players can occur. This has been done by myself where my controls locked up when getting shot. When I respond enemys don't see me. You can walk right up to them and knife them or single shot them. My dead body was were it died last but I was running around. I left and came back and it was resolved. There are the few that think its funny to run around and wreak havoc.

Another thing was the scoreboard shows nothing. No names or kills, deaths and assists. This was jacked up after they installed another update. It doesn't matter since the full release is due out in a couple of weeks.

Please try to convert over to PS3 so we can get the team up and going again.

allright kids get to skool and beg your folks for a PS3. Take care and hope to see you on CA.

I was watching some of the Socom Beta stuff and this game looks sick.
my older brother got an X-BOX 360 like a month ago.
and its pretty tight.
when my brother saw the customizing character he was like
"that is so damn cool"
so after watching all that, he plans on getting a PS3.
and im thinking he would get it in like spring of 2009.
thats what i think he is going to get it.
so if i ever get a PS3
my name will be the same.
1_SHOT_1_KILL_

im looking forward on getting a PS3 and playing with you guys.
