Socom Source


Recommended Posts

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/socomsource

 

I think I posted this before here, but there has been a renewed push to recreate Socom in the source engine by this fellow:

I am going to stream this at night around 10pm EST this weekend if anyone wants to tune in and will post the videos to my youtube channel. 

 

I will say the guns and mechanics have been changed to be Socom-like, and there are a bunch of people at night playing this. Anyone looking to get some socrack should come check it out. CSGO has been on sale (for $7) over Christmas and can pretty much run on any computer out there.

Understandable, but do realize it doesn't take too much ;).

 

Steam is free with no subscription fees.

 

Many guys on the server were saying they were playing with controllers since PS4 controller is plug-n-play on PC now, if the mouse+kb doesn't work for you.

 

As long as you got a PC that can run it, its very easy to get CSGO up and running. For those who are curious about their computers, this site can help determine where you stand: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyriJust search for Counter Strike: Global Offensive and run the Java applet.

 

I've had a few people ask about how to get into the server, and am considering putting together a short how-to find/get in the server.

 

From the store page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/730/

 

  • MINIMUM:
    • OS: Windows® 7/Vista/XP 
    • Processor: Intel® Coreâ„¢ 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenomâ„¢ X3 8750 processor or better 
    • Memory: 2 GB RAM 
    • Graphics: Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for Pixel Shader 3.0 
    • DirectX: Version 9.0c 
    • Hard Drive: 8 GB available space

 

E6600's came out around 2006, so if you got a computer since 06 you should be good. If you only have integrated graphics it may be possible to adjust how much RAM you give to it if that is an issue for you.

If you get into CSGO, there are skin drops after matches (unfortunately the not currently in the Socom Source server at this time... more info here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/socomsource/discussions/3/627456487023902685/).I've gotten skins worth ~$10+ that I have sold to buy more games on steam! Easy way to get your money back from the game :D

 

It really is impressive to see how far redline has come with this. I first saw his work in July when it was just the maps. I think he had just finished Frost Fire at the time and was working on Desert Glory. While it resembled the map it looked like it was quite raw, as you can see in the video it looks very good now. Great job by redline!

The Socom souce folks have moved to mod of the source game Insurgency, and it's now

called Resurgence:

It's a great fit for socom, as it supports many of the old game mechanics (prone, lean, etc).

 

The remade maps are well done. I played this for a couple of hours the other day, it was so

fun to be running around on desert glory, crossroads and all the other classic maps again.
