clearly bleach knows the term IP, but not what it actually stands for IP = Intellectual property.. and its not just pertaining to game, but rather any creative medium really. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property werd.. and for the record... even if sony announces something amazing... they still wont gain dramatic overnight market share. Microsoft not only knows about networks.. but knows how to actually network with other companies for mutual gain i.e. netflix is just freakin awesome on the xbox and now facebook, and twitter.. fanboys bowdown, and suck it... haha

yeah dude, i stopped using 411 when I heard about google sms search so if I want say directions, or the weather, or a local number, i sent a text to 46645 freakin love it http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mobile/default/sms.html

http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html this is pretty cool, IMO.. Live Concurrent Editing Natural Language Processing http://code.google.com/apis/wave/ *** I swear, I pretty much worship google.. Ive yet to be dissapointed by any of their many products..

IF the game was good enough to make a teaser, I dont fathom the graphics being dramatically improved by the time they finish the game. Otherwise, they wouldnt have released the trailer. Early socom vids, we saw what it would pretty much look like early on, and well.. it was pretty close. So.. id say its gonna be a less than stellar game graphically, but the loss here is made up with the amazing stellar online experience which im sure will be perfect on day one (sarcasm of course)

LMAO... WTF?!!?!

Do yourself a favor, and install the Windows 7 Release candidate, its stable as hell.. its free for a year, and its freakin awesome in every way!!! This is the crowning jewel from microsoft. This is definetly what vista should have been but isnt. And yes, the user access control should be turned off right away, its the most over bearing piece of shit ever.

Badass!!

Pay? Who pays for software these days? But I agree Nod32 is the least instrusive / least annoying, best protection out there.

"OMG, someone please come by, our server is down.. It won't turn on at all.. I don't know what's wrong with it." They called tech support, and got no where.. So Im told to rush out of my current job, and haul ass and go get them back up.. I drive 1.25 hrs, and push the power button.. Problem resolved.. Seriously, some people are complete morons...

I think its really clear to see if you look back at some of the posts to see just how passionate some people still are about socom. On one hand you have a group of people who have parted ways with socom since it doesn have the "magic" it once had. On the other hand you have a group of people who still very much love socom, and accept it for what it is. But that's just it, every person who has had any significant time invested in socom knows that socom has always, I repeat ALWAYS had issues. Confrontation, unfortunately is no exception to this. It seems though that the die hard socomers are willing to turn a blind eye so to speak, and tolerate its inherent broken-ness. I believe this is done out of love for the franchise, more than anything else. Look, socom was my bread and butter for like 5 years, I've been in many a war, tourney, staff role, and other clan associated crap... not to mention the arguments about me playing too much, or spending tons of time on forums. Believe me I loved the game, and I too turned blind eyes all the time.. But its 2009... Socom was supposed to go next gen, but all we got was the same broken game with some fresh paint slapped on. Sure slant six "talks to us more" or "at least they're trying"... Fuck that... they should have tried harder, instead.. They released a game that was no where near release quality.. And adopted zippers shitty formula.. Patch patch patch. Here you go socom fans.. Your going to ppay us $60 to beta test our broken game.. We can compare game play mechanics, and well never agree with one another.. Socom isn't cod, or halo, or gow, or vegas, or mgo.. Neither is the opposite true.. My personal point is. Clearly devs have different ways of doing things when it comes to making successful shooters. I think personally the guys at infinity ward did a fantastic job at defining that which should earn the title of "next gen shooter" and I think set the bar of what the quality should be. Game play mechanics will never be the same from game to game, with the exception of guns, and killing ppl.. Some companies do a better job of presenting that though. Slant six, zipper.. Brought us socom, and it was a good run.. But... Seriously.. I think when we bought confrontation we bought a galon of milk that was past its expiration date. But because socom fans are so die hard they said... Fuck it, projectile vomiting is ok with me.

uhh... what?!

Welcome back gents!!

good points... yes.. yes i did... Grenade Orgy [gri-neyd awr-jee] –noun, plural -gies When Hundreds of grenades converge in air for a pleasant rendezvous while on route to the other side of the map right at the beginning of a round.

wow... how long has this game been out? and they're on DLC 2?

You Wont be dissapointed

its interesting to see how the argument turned into.. COD is an FPS, and FPS's suck.. COD is Respawn, and Respawns suck COD is Fast paced, and Socom is slow and steady. With the exception of the First person shooter fact, both games have the option to play respawn or not, and both games have the option to be fast paced or not. I dont think its a fair argument to state that Call of Duty is not as Tactical as Socom in, when in reality is, if you want to have any success at winning at say Search and Destroy, you must be tactical, and communicate effectively with your team members... That of course also applies to socom. You have to use team work to win. Ive played both Socom, and COD MW and there's been many a time, when I just blaze by a corner doing the good ol "run and gun" and get owned by someone camping in a freakin poorly lit corner. If Socom is: Teamwork, Lag, nonstellar graphics, good times with your clan, 3rd person shooter, and tactful, then ok.. I'll agree w/ that statement. BUT In exchange for say Third person view, you get cool shit like in Rainbow 6, how you can post up on a wall behind cover, and pop out to fire a shot, or blind fire if you'd like. You can rappel, and other "tactical manuevers". In gears of war, you can dive , roll, run, and all sorts of other tactical maneuvers, also 3rd person. In Modern warfare, you get perks, which some people might call "unrealistic". To that i'll say, let me see you try and run around with a .50 cal Barret, and fire it while standing up (BTW, the Sea Snipers actually did fire the barret while standing up... check their site for more info on that.. lol) I hear the arguments, and they're all valid, but they all have a counter point to them as well. I strongly feel that the Socom community as a whole has grown up on mediocrity.. but again thats just me.. perhaps im bitter. Oh, and one last thing Ok, seriously... All I gotta say to the words in red is Desert Glory, Frost Fire, Citadel all GRENADE ORGY MAPS.

Yeah, u make valid points.. For the record, I've been a socomer since socom 2, so im not pulling my views out of thin air. I've endured many a socom headache, and enjoyment. While I agree with the action is fun part of your comment.. Socom did provide edge of your seat experiences which some clans can attest to.. Like the famous 3 hr , 26 round war between Stormwatch vs A Perfect Circle (now Ravenfall) that was awesome.. But that type of thing was rare.

Ive been pondering this for a while now, and It really got me thinking. The Socom franchise has been around for quite a while now, and its brought us countless hours of joy, but lets face it. Socom is merely the venue that we use to catch up and "shoot the shit" with our online buddies. Had socom not been the game that brought us together, we probably wouldn't play it as often as we do, but since all of our friends are playing it, we continue to play it amidst, all the lag, glitching, brokenness of the game(not just referring to confrontation, but rather all socom games collectively) When Call of Duty MW first came out, there was a mass exodus away from socom towards that game. Everyone was blown away by the game, and alot of clans were really tested, since it divided alot of clans between PS2, and PS3. But at the end of the day, people kept saying... Its fun but "ITS NOT SOCOM". Well of course its not socom, its an entirely different game. All of us socom heads continue to search for the socom experience, but why? Socom really isn't the THAT GOOD of a shooter. It WAS an awesome shooter at first, but lets face it.. most people will tell you that the best socom was Socom 2 (which again.. is heavily flawed in terms of in game mechanics, glitches, etc.. ) but it had the biggest Fun Factor. That was years ago... Today I visit a forum of people who still love the game socom, even though its heavily broken. There are so many options as far as shooter go, that are more stable, better looking, and more pleasant than socom, but we socom junkies continue to play the game. I mean take the guy from Socom is dead. All that complaining, but he still plays it doesnt he? WHY!?! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying everyone should stop playing socom, but I think we play socom out of mere habit, than actual desire to play the game. Maybe I just bitching.. maybe I'm just bitter cuz Slant six destroyed socom.... or maybe I actually have a point. Socom is NOT the same socom we once knew... the only reason it kind of looks the same is because we're playing it with alot of the same people that we've been playing with for years. Thats what is familiar.. The game... well... think back on ALL of the years we've been playing socom, and all the complaining that we've done.. think about it. Socom is NOT that good of a game.. it really isn't. Socom had its glory days.. but they, IMO are gone now, and its time for bigger, better, and more innovative shooters to take the spot light. Modern warfare won game of the year quite deservedly. They worked hard, and delivered a game that was Solid, stable, and stunning. Not to mention all the other intersting shooters out there.. such as GOW, Rainbow 6 Vegas , KZ2, hell even MGO was pretty good, and innovative. I cant even fathom another company's attempt at releasing another socom after confrontation. Im not looking to piss anyone off, I'm looking to have a civil debate about the game socom.. So... the floor is open. Discuss..

I'll go ahead and let you know that you're officially in "Sony is awesome, and nothing is better than Sony" World... lol... welcome to The Fury that is Urgent

hahahaha.. yeah personally I tend to lean towards the wink...

Wow, chilli... all the years Ive been here, and this is STILL your fav smiley.. ;D lol
