]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @SigmundTheSeaMonster: Bowling teams actually promote social interaction and also increase the political participation of individuals. Those who isolate themselves are less likely to engage in any political activity. Currently less people engages in activities that promote social capital such as bowling teams and as a whole the political participation of nation has also declined.

On another note, today while airsofting we were talking about how cool rainbow six vegas 2 xbox 360 is but that it would be much more fun if it was third person. Someone mentioned maybe Metal Gear Online would do it. I told them I would run naked in the street praying to the Sony Overlords if they ever released a SOCOM on the PS3.

I hope they don't find out about this because, well, I'm gonna have to run down the street naked, and knowing my friends they will probably pelt me with bbs. The Sony Overlords always punish those who say thier names in vain. Goddammit.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> For a PSN game this title is shaping-up pretty damn nicely. I never got into the SOCOM games on PS2 but I've definitely been keeping my eye on this one. Hopefully they can deliver a delightfully long and expandable experience like the dudes over at Incognito did with Warhawk.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> This is pretty awesome, and really unique. I don't think you guys need to be flipping out either, I mean, how easy is it (usually) to make a clan in a game that isn't an MMO? Exactly. Just make a group with whatever buddies you have in real life, and relish the thought that you guys will have a uniform look when you do play together, and a look you (hopefully) will like when you are not. Just think for a second, chaps.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @elpoepFTW: as I recall at least, no vehicles. This game was "going back to the roots of SOCOM 1 and 2" according to the developers a few months back.

I've always loved SOCOM. 3 was ok, but the vehicles on land needed to go, the boats rocked.

And to others, of course there is going to be voice chat, SOCOM 1 had that. Would be silly not to.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> People are so gullible. This is a rendering people, yes it is possible with today's tech but I have yet to see any evidence to say otherwise; remember Killzone 2
.Besides SOCOM has always been an inferior modern-warfare game.

This game will try a mimic GhostRecon while adding a bit more arcade-style spice i.e. COD4; oh with vehicles ala Battlefield. This isn't a bad thing, just another been-there-done-that title.

elpoepFTW

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> Wow, so solo players get to get raped over and over by organized clans while not getting to play ALL of the classes. Awesome, THAT'LL make it fun.

YouCanEatMe

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> I can't wait for Confrontation. I was a huge Socom 1 and 2 fan (I still play Socom1 the odd time, there is only ever 4 people max online).

I hope this can recreate the original spark with old clan mates and friends from those days.

*prays there is a map on level with Desert Glory, Rats Nest and Shadow Falls*

(Yes, I said it, SHADOW FALLS, the Carlsberg (...the best in the world, geddit?)of most hated maps in socom.)

UNICELL

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> "Clan folks get their choice of these special forces units, as well as all of their uniforms, gear and weapons"

It sounds like a good incentive to make friends and play together, but that does exclude the casual players from experiencing the game with all the weapons and special forces. Sure, you can make your casual clan, but does this mean that the items, uniforms and weapons are only available when you play with your clan or is it available all the time? Can you make a clan by yourself so you can get the stuff right away or do you need an extra person to confirm they're going to be part of your clan for it to work?

As for the game, I used to be a huge SOCOM 2 whore right before the glitches really took hold of the game. I tried my hand at SOCOM 3, but it didn't have the magic of its predecessor. I'm excited to see how this developer can handle SOCOM. I'm also excited to see how this game can compete with Call of Duty 4. CoD4 raised the bar for online multiplayer, and although SOCOM is an established Sony brand, it's going to have to put up some really great stuff to compete with it.

Shalashaska

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @Wait: Correct, this game is online only. It's being developed by Slant Six. Zipper Interactive (the original developers of SOCOM) are working on SOCOM 4 which should be a full featured game. No word on when that will be out.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> Hope it does have voice chat because if it does not, I will be very upset. I'll buy but wont play until an update of some sort. I will play the campaign, but isn't it or rather is it online only?

Wait

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @Candlejack: Nothing. That's the one I use. But that guy said he wanted Socom to come with a Playstation branded headset, and I was informing him that I thought it did (and I looked it up to confirm, and it does indeed, according to Wikipedia anyway).

Yea do some research before you post man. SOCOM is owned by Sony so untill pigs fly SOCOM will never be on Xbox. So next time ya post do some research n00b.

baked ham

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @jslay012: Hmm... Alright? You could probably just find a "casual clan" on gamefaqs message boards for the game. One that will allow you to be a part of their team but it's casual enough that you can just play whenever you and they are online at the same time, no schedules, no requirements, just play when you can. It's no big deal. I'm sure it's plenty fun to play the game without being one of those specialists, too. Remember, if you're playing as the regular character, then so will everyone you're playing against, because you won't be in a clan match, so nobody could use the specials.

I'm looking forward to this game, surely.

baked ham

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> someone's gonna claim that shot was in-game. That person will have a bag full of coins with Ken Kutaragi's head on it. He will be stabbed by woman in front of the council, and we will tell his treachery by the blood money which falls to the floor.

GMC

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @Setzer IIDX: if you think that COD4 players are "serious", then you obviously have not played much SOCOM before...

SOCOM is infinitely more enjoyable in a clan...especially when you can vote asshats out of your rooms. Hopefully that function stays with this version.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @Solidsky: Hey, you make it, I'll join with you.

Too many gamers on PSN just take Call of Duty far too seriously. I'd be down for making a casual gaming crew. I've got a girlfriend and a full time job, so god knows I can't be online every day until I crash.

And since it's be in a clan, I'm sure these requirements can be filled if you make your own clan, for those upset.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @comedy: You'd best be trolling. Wait. No you shouldn't be.

Candlejack

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> I don't play SOCOM myself, but I think that sony's strategy is really cool. Maybe it will turn off some gamers, but at least it's being proactive. I'm really happy with the growing focus on co-op and multiplayer gaming...so long as it doesn't lead to the detriment of single-player experiences overall.

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> Nice idea for those who like it, but I play on my terms so screw this community crap.

smitty1123

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @Agies:

I agree. Locking solo players out of a good portion of the content is a bad thing to do. People will join the first random clan they find just so they can experience the content. Also, I expect there to be a lot of clan hopping since no one will want to be solo at any point in the game.

I'd hate to pine after Socom 2, but the series really hasn't ever lived up to it.

Confrontation still looks decent from what they've shown, so hopefully we'll get a decent game in the end.

Rasec

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> I mean I love fps and some of the past fps clans I've been in. Problem is... ALL BUT TWO OF THEM, kicked me out because they can't understand that I had to work, dedicate time to family, girlfriend and friends.

I'd like to join a clan called "Laid Back SAS"...

Solidsky

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> @jslay012: Not necessarily better (or worse, for that matter), just different. I see these "clans" more like classes in WoW or Diablo (for instance) where you have exclusive access to some equipment while no access to others.

I doubt the assault rifle the SAS use in the game won't be better or worse than the assault rifle the SEALs use.

And I highly doubt you're going to get screwed if you decide to play without a "clan."

Candlejack

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> I have never been a fan of clans, mostly because I never really know if they're any good or if the people are fun, which to me is more important than being dominant.

But this game, which I am almost surely purchasing, seems to have a good way to make me choose and actually try to play with the same team over and over.

Usually, I pick and choose friends but it can be hard to get everybody together. Props to Sony for at least trying something different and hopefully adding to the experience.

AverageJoes

]]> <![CDATA[SOCOM Confrontation Details]]> This is an interesting move, but probably a poor decision. In understand the desire to reward team play but locking solo players out of a good portion of the game isn't the way to go.
