Socom Us Navy seals !

I just bought the official playstation magasine and the cover is socom with the survival guide and a review !

They gave it a 5/5


ill quote a couple of passages .


¨The online aspect of socom is quite spectaculary excellent ¨


¨ For one thing , the majority of the online arenas are simply sublime in their design . Each one is riddled with sneaky hidey-holes, prime sniping spots , mutiple pathways , cluter cover (grass , ferns , bush ) and areas ripe for ambushes . Just a few shots can kill here and its clear zipper designed the level with that clearly in mind . ¨

¨ Furthermore , the environmental touches make such a big difference when it comes to drawing the player into the game world .  Bullets whine and ricochet  realistically , knocking bits of whatever they strike into the air . Grenades have a convincing blast radius , sending bodies flying ( or if they detonate underwater , they send a plume of water into the air ) But thats not all . GET THIS : if your too close to a grenade when it goes off , you go deaf . The sound on your tv cuts out , replaced by a hight-pitched ringing . Only slowly after time ( depending how close you were ) does the sound fade in . Even cooler : ( flashbangs ) grenades , wich temporarily blind any player unlucky anough to be looking at one when it goes off by whiting out the screen for a few seconds . How bad-ass is that ? ¨


A bit of the bad side




¨ No , ofcourse its not perfect . Weapon selection can seam awkward , aiming in the third-person view can be a bit off , and the multiplayer options are a bit shallow . Im also not really a fan  of the somewhat overly complex  ( extraction )  one of the tree multiplay modes . Ands let not forget about our buddy Boomer ( by the was he his dumb and insubordinate )  But who am i kidding ? I love this game , and i don\'t see myself playing anything else at home for a good three or four months . Sure it could have been better . But that\'s what sequels are for . Final Score  5/5 . ¨


Here you folks , some inside on the game ! hope you enjoyed !

That is an awesome feature.  Very, very cool.

Cool too, but Counterstrike has that as well.  NBD.


Too bad it doesn\'t have more multiplayer options.  But hell, I can play CS for months and all it has it Terrorists vs Counter Terrorists.

Mmmm... SOCOM.  The 27th is going to be one fine day.

And I can\'t play it on a DSL modem.

You could play it if you had no modem..

ya people, why is it all of the sudden "All or nothing".

Just becuase you cant get the game online doesnt mean you cant play what is being called an AAA game.

Shouldn\'t DSL work? Or is that not considered Broadband anymore.

You just need a broadband connection, DSL and cable should work...

DSL is Broadband

Gah... I really want this game.  It\'ll still be a few months before I get broadband, so I\'ll have to settle with the stupid offline mode for a while.  

Hot dog. I thought only cable was considered broadband. Damn... I\'m broke...

well hot dog no one thank me

Well i can\'t go online with this so i will get Tom Clancy\'s Ghost Recon with 15 levels plus you get an extra 8 that came with the PC add-on Desert Siege so thats 23missions in total plus it supports I-link, Split screen, two Co-operative play modes and 3 Adversarial modes so this seems a better option if you can\'t play Socom online.

*yawn*

i was just wondering, does anyone have any idea wether the view in this game can be changed i.e. to fpv rather than tpv.

[Bobs_Hardware]

It\'s a third person shooter.  No changing.
