I wanna thank the [cKs] guys and Blackcloud for coming and joining us for some fun. Depending on how long the PSN stays down, hopefully we can get a larger turn out next time. Thanks again to [cKs] and Blackcloud. You guys made the evening very enjoyable.

Yup, feel free to join us

Forgot to mention the room will contain Maps from the Map Packs, so you'll need to download them from the Socom store. They're free so you just need a Zip/Thumb Drive. If you want to communicate you'll need a Logitech USB 2.0 Headset.

Out of bordom and looking for some fun with the PSN being down. Anyone with a PS2 or backward compatible PS3 and a copy of Socom: Combined Assault. Sinners and Saints are going to have a room up in US East Ranked @ 830est Tonight Anyone from the Urgent Fury community is welcome to join. I'm not sure what kind of a turn out we might have, so the room will be set for 8v8. If we get enough people will bump in up to a 16v16. To prevent cheaters etc. we'll have the room password protected. Server: US East Ranked Room Name: SiNNeRS+SaINtS Password: natas

Just FYI, if your unsure on how to tell what gun you are picking up (since it only shows you an image of the gun), hit your L2 button after you've picked up a weapon and it will show you the name of the gun in the top of your screen. As far as any other ideas on locations in level 5 for you to find the C9MM, just keep picking up weapons and you'll eventually find one.

Looks like there are a couple of sites that claim the PSN will be up by Wednesday Good news for all PlayStation 3 gamers who do not like to fail and problem-free onlinegaming without it! Neil Martin , seines Zeichens Sicherheitsdatenbank Ingenieur , hat unseren Kollegen von NowGamer verraten, dass die Probleme mit dem PlayStation Network vermutlich bis kommenden Mittwoch komplett behoben sind & man dass man sich ab Mittwoch wieder problemfrei einloggen könne. Neil Martin, his sign security database engineer, our colleagues from NowGamer reveal that the problems of the PlayStation Network probably Wednesday completely resolved are coming up with & you can log off again without problems that could Wednesday. Sämtliche Masken und Funktionen werden wie vorher sein, lediglich der Log-In Bereich ins PSN wird anders sein, so Martin . All screens and functions are to be like before, only the Log In PSN will be different-in area, Martin said. "The only change the consumer may see is to the way we log in to PSN." Being remodeled, we feverishly the server code and create new authentication keys for admin areas. Zudem werden aktuell die geleakten Entwickler-Root-Keys geändert, die den Zugriff auf die Software im PSN möglich gemacht haben. Keys are also currently on the leaked developer root changed to the PSN in the software have made ​​possible the access. "The main thing Sony will be doing now is taking the original server code and they will be rebuilding it using new login keys for their admin side" "We will probably take the chance to change the root key developers that was recently leaked, Which telll Particular the PSN that a piece of software is licensed and allowed to use the PlayStation Network. " In the worst case each receives a software patch if the PSN is back online final to prevent piracy and Sun at high-level security to keep it. Weiterhin betonte Martin , dass der Vertrauensverlust zweitrangig im Vergleich zu den finanziellen Verlusten durch Piraterie sei. Further, Martin said that the loss of confidence in comparison to the financial losses due to piracy is secondary. "This could mean all previous software will require a patch when it comes back online" "But inconvenience like that will be secondary to the loss of revenue via piracy and loss of security if they do not change it." Probably, also the automatic log-painted in, since this hack programs the way significantly easier. "Automated logins may be disabled, Which is what a lot of the Distributed Denial of Service attack programs use to strain the server."

The only issue I see, is for users who purchased a Playstation Plus membership. Reguardless, of if someone purchased the 1 year or 3 month subscription. I can see PSN users wanting to be compensated for any time on their subscription. If the PSN is down for a week I don't see a big issue, but if it ends up taking a month to resolve the issue I can fully understand people wanting Sony to atleast extend their time to compensate.

I thought this info might help some of those that are playing the Campaign during the PSN downtime. If any of you are interested in the trophies or just bored.

Yo Shane...It said "Code No longer Valid".

Sorry...Yeah hook me up with an extra

I agree with Red and TheCaracarn 100%.

Good luck U Damn we're losing alot of good teams........wtf??

Good luck VR. Tool and the rest of VR will be missed.

Why are companys handing over great titles to Slant Six? It's apparent they can't do them any justice.

As a fellow clan leader here at UF, I've been following everything as it has unfolded over the weekend. I haven't spoken simply because my team currently isn't involved in any tournaments. I've simply been monitoring the events because rulings on tournament play indirectly could effect my team in a future tournament. I've been apart of this community for a good while now and for the most part I'm pretty quiet around here. Alot of the events that have taken place in the past few days have been like a whirlwind, spinning around and sucking up everyone and everthing into the confusion. I've seen a few teams drop out of the tournament over the weekend. Their decision to do so was their's to make and we should all respect that and keep our thoughts and opinions on that matter to ourselves. The ruling on AIEL was made by the UF staff and whether you agree or disagree it's been made. Every team here has the same choice. You can either choose to remain here and participate in the tournaments or you can choose not too, the choice is yours. We as clan leaders make the choices based on what is best for our teams and the integrity of our team morals. Every team here is here because we found that UF upheld the same integrity and morals we hold for our teams. So, why is it that everytime something of this nature occurs, there are some that don't exemplify those standards? Take "Respect" for example. Over the past few days I've seen people post responces to others in a "Disrespectful" manor. We're all intitled to our opinions, but we can get our points across without disrespecting others. My only thought when I see things of this nature is that someones true colors are bleeding through and that some of us here that claim to hold these same "values" don't hold them in as high reguards as others. Think before you speak, and treat others as you want to be treated. My point is the Integrity and the Values of UF and our teams need to be the first and foremost in reguards to handling any situation that may arise. Now, in reguards to recent events involving Tool. I can understand with VR withdrawing from UF entirely the decision to remove him from the "Clan Leader" section as it is for Clan leaders participating (active or inactive) here at UF. As far as him being removed as Staff. Well, that brings me back to our Values and Standards. Personally, I feel he should have been contacted and at least a reason for his dismissal. I feel he deserves the respect of that. Some of you may agree with me and others may not, that's fine.

Updated March 3, 2011: Killzone 3 hit stores last week (congratulations Guerrilla Games!) and included along with it were vouchers for the upcoming SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs Multiplayer Beta. Though the beta isn’t available yet, we’ve put together this handy little FAQ to answer some of the questions you may have. Q: When does the SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs beta period begin? A: We will announce the beta starting dates on Friday, March 4 at 9am Pacific Time (in addition to details and media from our 4th and previously-secret game mode, Bomb Squad) Q: Does that mean the SOCOM 4 beta begins when you officially announce its start date? A: No. The time frame we've giving in the question above is just for when you can expect to hear about the start date, it's not the beginning of the beta itself. The dates listed in Friday's announcement will tell you exactly when the beta period actually begins. Q: Will there be other ways to access the SOCOM 4 beta outside of purchasing Killzone 3 in North America or being a member of PlayStation Plus in Europe? A: Absolutely Yes. We'll go into details about it in this week's announcement. Q: What will be included in the SOCOM 4 beta? A: As much as we’d love to tell you now, we’ll be releasing this info along with the other information next week as well. That’s all for now. Keep your eyes on SOCOM.com for more information about SOCOM 4 later this week. -------------------- Jeremy Dunham Sr. Community Manager, Zipper Interactive -------------------- Just to update everyone

Scratch it off with a coin. Just like a Scratch N Sniff.

Possible Games Spec Ops: The Line Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Just a couple games dropping this year that look promising.

There are still cheaters on Socom. Infinite Health, 1000 round ammo, sky jump, etc. So it didn't help Confrontation.
