The true meaning of war is more than just firing a gun. Get a taste of the Marine’s war in Tajikistan in this trailer for Red River!
Between Afghanistan and China, the world’s next flashpoint is about to erupt.* The valleys, towns and mountains of Tajikistan will become bloody frontlines for the might of the People’s Liberation Army, insurgent guerilla fighters and the United States Marine Corps.
You and your fireteam can make a difference.* How much is up to you.* It’s not the soldier with the most expensive gun or the biggest heart who wins on the battlefield.* It’s the smartest.* Semper Fi, Marine.

Dirty, dirty Black Ops cheaters that downloaded the new PS3 firmware, update 3.56, are finding out exactly what Sony meant when it said the patch would help bolster “security.” A grip of consoles have been permanently banned from Black Ops multiplayer servers for hacking or cheating after their users installed the new firmware — though some of the outspoken among the banned are contesting the presumption that they are cheaters on the game’s
official forums. (Which is like, the first thing you’d do if you were a dirty, dirty cheater.)In a seemingly cooperative attack executed by two mortal enemies, firmware 3.56 joins last week’s mandatory Xbox Live update, which also stopped pirated and modded copies of Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2 in their tracks. Is Activision’s cash cow so powerful that the publisher can request its own console updates at will? If that’s the case, Activision: Would you please, please ask Sony to add cross-game chat?

Posted by Jeremy Dunham // Sr. Community Manager, Zipper Interactive
Everyone here at Zipper Interactive is pleased to announce that the wait will soon be over! As our headline says, SOCOM 4 is scheduled to hit stores in North America in just a few months on April 19th.
Earlier this week at the Zipper headquarters in Redmond, WA, we invited the media and 18 SOCOM community members to check out the latest version of our game. Not only did they get an update on the progress of our single-player campaign, they were also treated to an extensive look at several of our multiplayer modes, which, as any SOCOM fan will tell you, is absolutely the game’s bread and butter.
Early next week, we’ll have another update on the PlayStation and SOCOM blogs to let you know what members of the community thought about their visit to Redmond and their hands-on time with SOCOM 4. In the meantime, we’d love for you to check out our “Not For Self†multiplayer trailer by clicking on the video above.
Also, for you veteran SOCOM fans out there, head on over to GameStop.com and bring back classic SOCOM memories with another new trailer, this one for the GameStop pre-order exclusive “Abandoned†Map!
The good news is that this is just the beginning of an upcoming flood of SOCOM goodness. As we count down the days and weeks to April 19, you can expect plenty of news, details and media to get you hyped up for what we think is the best SOCOM game yet. Enjoy the ride!

Treyarch’s launched a ‘hotfix’ for the PS3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops addressing a number of issues that came to light following the launch of Patch 1.06 yesterday.
According to the developer, the quick fix addresses “wonky Killstreak selections” and control configurations resetting to default settings.
Community manager Josh Olin also said about an hour ago that he’s working on an ETA for the latest Black Ops Xbox 360 patch, Title Update 6.
Yesterday, Treyarch released Black Ops PS3 Patch 1.06, which was designed to address numerous issues with the shooter, add a few new features and tune the gameplay.

Black Ops Bans May Affect Second Hand Console Sales
in Blog - Urgent Fury Unleashed
Posted
With the latest update for the PlayStation 3, as well as an update recently for Call of Duty: Black Ops, has come a wave of banned PlayStation 3 and PSN accounts. While many will be cheering at the news that hackers will be less likely to be cheating them or even demoting them, one problem has become apparent rather quickly. What if they ban the wrong person?
By heading over to the official Black Ops forums, you will see a plenty of threads about being banned and questions on how or when they will be unbanned. While a most do admit to cheating it seems not only are some denying hacking but some didn’t even own the console to do it.
One member of the website seems to of been banned although not previously playing Black Ops or even owning a PS3. IssY_I posted in one thread “When i want to play black ops it says my console is banned permanently???i have payed 150$ for the Ps3 (i bought it yesterday (used) and just came home with a new copy of b-ops! but why is my system banned?â€
If this problem becomes more wide spread, with banned consoles populating the used PS3 market, will the sales dry up? Or will this be an unfortunate one off? Either way lets hope at least for IssY_I’s sake they find a solution.
