What results have we gotten? We are still missing several features that are listed as in the product. I know dead horse. Since 1.30 Swimming in quicksand Clan issues in terms of cannot see, leave, join or disband. My screen showing me as a level 1 but everyone else seeing me as a level 4. They HAVE to do something about upgrading their server side! I couldn't believe it but I do believe the VIP/Hostages are now dumber. Maybe modeled after /6 employees? Frame rate drop / lag when someone leaves or joins - STILL there even though brought up in BETA. Nades are just WAY to inconsistent!! Kill you from 40' but not when they hit you in the head! Lag, another dead horse, but since 1.30 is considerably worse! How many times have the servers crashed since 1.30? I know of at least 3. This should NOT happen after 3 patches! Throwing nades around objects or over objects is a joke, it will hit air and drop right at your feet. Or better yet have a full throw to have it go 2 feet in front of you like it slipped off your fingers. Try throwing a nade while laying down, no where NEAR where you think you are going to throw it! I could go on but I am sorry this game is not where it should be. This is an online only game with 7 maps. You are telling me that with that limited amount it is acceptable to have this many issues? The worst part about it is that at most I have seen 12k online at once and at that point the servers are stressed. W@W with 90k+ runs a lot smoother. I also cannot believe they had a small budget for this game. To me that is just some BAD decision making. Socom had a community that could make or break the PS3, let alone Socom, and they gave it a PS2 budget? You have to be fucking kidding me! Think about how many PS2s Socom 1 and 2 sold! I would have never gotten another PS2 if mine crashed and I wouldn't have played Socom like I did.

I took 8 pics from the concert and made an animated gif for my avatar. ;D

I am sorry this is what I see in that post. Blah Blah Blah we don't know Blah Blah Blah Honetly this post gives me a BAD perception that they may not be able to fix the issues! They don't know what is causing "some" latency issues? SOME!? When the community has posted SEVERAL times that during peak hours it gets worse? hmmm..... what could cause that? Client side? Come on this is BASIC troubleshooting!! If you are THAT lost then you need to get a test group and eliminate variables on the server side. Network (bandwidth, bad switch), firewall (ports), NAT (not the same NAT that you are thinking - it is a true Network Address Translation within the firewall), routing, mics and a number of other things one at a time! Hog the network while the group is playing, do you see a difference? Put more load on the server while the group is playing, do you see a difference? If it has to be REAL TIME then so be it but for fucks sake do SOMETHING!!!

I was still sleeping when I posted. I didn't get home until 2AM and had a long day before the concert. LOL BUT it was an awesome show. There were a few right by me that were taking a shit load of pics. My Fiance made a deal with one that if I kept the pit off him so he could have steady shots he would email them to me and he did. He also had a camera as opposed to the iPhone which isn't the greatest picture taker. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/album.php?aid=2014824&id=1378564609

My Fiance won tickets Friday night to go to Tuesday's show. We flew in from NYC, landed at 330PM, dropped our luggage off at home hopped in the car and headed down!! WELL WORTH the tired legs! Take a look at where we were!! These were taken with my iPhone so they are not the greatest but you will get the idea!

Seq, I SWEAR I forgot that was in there!! LOL I tried to make it generic, there are SO many different ways to set up your network and so many brands and firmwares it makes it hard to help everyone. I just wanted to get the main concepts and make it so you had an idea with images. I think the biggest thing that IT people forget or fail to setup properly is a router behind a DSL modem. If you have DSL you really need to learn why that it has to be setup properly and why that setup makes a difference. Thanks Goat. Seq has ANOTHER reason to hate me! LOL -
I think what some of you are forgetting is who REALLY made the changes. Personally I don't blame Zipper. Think about WHO was overseeing the project and what directions it took. Who left in the middle of Socom 2's development because he didn't like the way the things were headed? Seth Luisi wanted his fingerprints ALL over the Socom series. He wanted the world to see his vision and that he could make a game WITHOUT David Sears influence! Once Seth was FULLY the lead developer this game has gone DOWNHILL!! Personally if Sears was still in charge some of us would be losing jobs because of Socrack! Seth is the ONE AND ONLY who should take ALL THE BLAME!!

I thought Seq was "IN THE NAVY" !!! I think there is a video of Seq singing this somewhere too. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ;D

LOL it was just emailed to me today.

yeah well you still suck! LOL ;D Well someone created this and I will give them credit for trying to give the community something. If you are interested it is an excel file to help you track while you play so you don't have to go back and forth. It does not have any virus or macro issues. Here is the link to the thread he created. http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=confrontation&thread.id=786252&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 Here to directly download. http://members.cox.net/thomas_beckett/Excel/Trophies.xls

between Democracy and Republic this is NOT meant to stir debate. I thought it was an interesting watch. http://www.flixxy.com/political-systems.htm

I am not a huge fan of Mark Walhberg but for those that like this stuff you should watch Shooter. I have seen 2 videos that I wish I could find to post. One where they were talking about the US being investigated because of the fact we are getting so many headshots in Iraq. The soldiers are using M16s as sniper rifles and they are THAT accurate. The other is where there were a few snipers on a roof picking off people as they were getting shot at with RPGs and such.

;D

Maybe they will find a cave that leads to Prison Break and create a few more episodes of PB for you!? LOL

There was mention of 1.40 on socom.com somewhere. Stating that, THAT patch would implement the missing features that are described in the manual. That being said. I agree that something needs to be done. This is NOT an acceptable business practice and quite honestly someone should be held accountable, AND VERY PUBLICLY! WE as consumers CANNOT allow developers to get away with this practice. If we do now they will continue to follow this practice.

I voted 1. I did this because 1 had better "equal" sides. There were no customizations or weapons that were vastly superior. It also had 2 maps that were better then the remade versions for 2, Abandon DAY! and Rat Nest!
-
I cannot get back on. Just to be on the safe side I rebooted and still no joy. FIRE SETH NOW!

Street, You can have 3 people playing in the same house if your connection is strong enough and set up correctly. BUT you are right that people do NOT know how or IF they can but do it anyway. Even having your PS3 wireless can cause issues. People refuse to believe this too. "I have a 85% signal." Yeah that is great for a PC that can compensate with TCP which has checks to make sure ALL data was recieved. What about UDP, which games use, that just throw the data out there and there are NO checks? It doesn't care if it reached it's destination. I am sure SEVERAL of the issues are do from to much load with the download of the patch and some things will clear up. BUT the biggest issue, at least for me, that was suppose to be fixed wasn't. The SAME issue people were bitching about in the BETA is STILL there. That fucking join/leave hiccup. Seeing that the trophies was the biggest time consumption of patch 1.30 so I am hoping they learned that smaller fix patches are the way to go, but have they learned anything yet?

Great post. I agree that the perception is that the better connection the more of a disadvantage you have! It sucks because I do whatever I can to commit as much of my connection to my PS3 when playing online. QoS, DMZ, turn PC's off, make sure my connection is not having issues and so on. But you are correct, there are people out there that will do anything to win. I really hate the statement, if you are not cheating you are not trying. I think that just shows how far down integrity has gone down in the US. Also something that SHOULD have been FIRST AND FOREMOST with this game is a CONNECTION INDICATOR!! I cannot believe in an ONLINE ONLY game this is something they left out!

Nope, not in my book. I'd pay to play in a heartbeat if that meant perfect game play +1

There is one issue that is happening on a regular basis which may cause some concern. Rooms are not starting even though everyone is greening up. Then after some time it mixes the teams up and starts out of nowhere. This may be something we need to look at.

Servers are up BUT it is ugly..

The join/leave hiccup has NOT been fixed. The controls are a BIG issue now for a lot of people. Grenades are VERY random now in terms of kills. Worse then before. People saying that they are still losing sound. Reload seems the same, maybe a little better in terms of not stopping but time is the same. XMB shows server and type of room but not which room. US CENTRAL 1 8V8 Demo - this is how it looks US CEN 1 8V8 Demo 1 - this is how it should look. I have had a few times where I set my quick change, throw a nade, go back to rifle then go to quick change and my pistol comes out even though I still have 3 nades left. Controller loadout actually loads now. You don't have to go change it when you load for the 1st time. Only 2 Ranked 8v8 Demos in each server. No 3. Stats have NOT been reset as of 12PM CST. Servers went down at 1PM CST for stat reset. Changed playlists in Ranked rooms. Kasbah Demo is now DAY!
