it doesn't matter because everybody will just compare this game to bc2 like usual anyways so its a fail game already

Dang, all the game modes on 2 maps? Not bad for a beta test. I'd really like to test this game out.

I remember when SOCOM came out on the PS2 but I never really played the series so I don't know what its all about. I know it's 3rd person right? I played the 3rd person mode on CoD and I kinda liked it. I think I might be able to get into something like that.

3rd person mode can be hit or miss...depends on the control scheme...in MP I wasn't as impressed with Red Dead, trying to ride a horse, turn and fire was f****ng hard...I hope the play & MOVE controls for this are well thought out....I'm glad the Beta will give us a little more playing options than 1 level, 1 mode...

i hate 3rd person FPS. Uncharted 2 online would have been so much better if it weren't in 3rd person.

and yeah, I think this game might be good but I really don't think anything is gonna pull me away from BC2 or BF3

BF3 better have Move support though

I hated 3rd person at first once i got use to it its very fun and a nice change of pace. My main problem with most 3rd person games is most of the weapons feel the exact same. Also the controls have to be superb. One reason i didn't like rdr's online was the controls were weird geting on and off cover wasn't fluid. Uncharted on the other hand had excellent controls and the weapons felt different and each one had its use and they all had different recoil etc. I am really excited for socom even though i never played a socom game a tactical 3rd person game sounds really sick to me.

Meh.  I hate 3rd person shooters too.  Chances I'll be buying this are slim/none.

Played 2 rounds worth today....can't say I was very excited....

If you redeem ur KZ3 code it takes bout 20 mins to download beta....but then when u install it runs a patch of 1500MB....which takes anywhere from 45mins to 1hr...then you get to play....

At first glance it's similar to MAG, which I always thought was hard to decipher the enemy vs teammates in....then there's the whole 3rd person thing.....waaaaaaaaaaay different from anything I'm used to....I spent my first game in permanent re-spawn  :-[

The default controls were so much slower for player turn speed that I almost set them to max....the 3rd person perspective made it hard to tell what was good cover...cuz it seemed I could always be shot at....

I'll keep at it...but already feel like I won't be buying it and just let that HC SOCOM community keep it to themselves.....prolly just stick to BC2 until BF3 comes out...but that's cuz I'm not a fan of MAG...anyone who liked that game may feel different.

PS: I didn't kno the game was like HC mode...so right out the gate I tested my melee button and TK'd 3 players -_-

I played a few rounds the other day but only used the controller since I didn't feel like setting up the Move camera. The game seemed like it could be fun, but probably no where near as good as BC2. I'll try it out some more using the Move but I doubt I'll buy the game either. GT5 and SSF4 along with BC2 has me covered till BF3 most likely.

the beta is up for everyone now, at the moment you won't find it under newest demo's, click on new releases and scroll down, word of warning I heard the patch for it takes forever to download and install


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Cadillak on April 06, 2011, 08:25:07 am
yeah, you dl the demo, then when it goes to update it's like a 1500 mb dl...  b)

i think its badass. no run and gun but good amount of tactical. i like how it has 32 players.

I liked it also, I was getting seriously hammered my first few games and i never knew where I was getting killed from , and then I accidently teamkilled a guy with a grenade so he teamkilled me with a knife and then the next few games consisted of me and him teamkilling each other back and fourth. Then I tried the shotgun and started doing well with it , that thing is beast in the game, I like the game although i was so surprised at how high I had to turn up my turn speed on it, I haven't tried it with the move yet.

Post by: Laughing Turd on April 06, 2011, 10:33:10 pm
yea it turns slow as fudge! found it weird to aim.

i like how u can set your ass rifles to semi auto or full auto. thats badass if you have a dude far away and auto will eff ur aim so turn it to semi right quick and there you go

i really wanna know how move works here. update wen u can


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Permanent Poopface on April 06, 2011, 11:20:01 pm
you probably already knew this but it took me a few games to figure it out when pressing  the L1 button to zoom alittle with your reticle press the r3 button and it turns your view into a first person ads view, its pretty cool


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Cadillak on April 07, 2011, 01:21:02 am
played a few rounds with turd tonight using the move. I like it more than I did the first time I played it. It's complicated and I'm gonna have to play some more to figure out wtf I'm doing. I hope I can remap the buttons though. I like the tactical stuff, the weapon load out options, and the graphics. The move works great if you turn up the sensitivity a lot.

Turd, could you hear me talking on the mic? I played BC2 for a sec with coolhand and afr but I swear my mic wasn't working right cuz I could see myself talking and coolhand talking but couldn't hear a thing through my mic.

Let's play some more tomorrow night if possible and see if we can't figure the game out.

I already deleted teh demo...

I don't like 3rd person FPS


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Permanent Poopface on April 26, 2011, 02:37:40 pm
I thought it was good, I have a hard time getting use to third person shooters , but I did like the beta


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Cadillak on April 26, 2011, 02:51:07 pm
I thought it was ok using the move, but didn't think it was better than BC2 and went to play that instead. I like the accuracy of the guns in BC2 better and I really hated the 3rd person view.

I'm sick of you fawkers comparing everything to BC2, even games that aren't even in the same damn game genre ! why don't you guy's marry bc2!


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Cadillak on April 26, 2011, 03:50:13 pm
for me all that matters is that they're both online shooters dude. I don't need a new one till I find one that's better.


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Permanent Poopface on April 26, 2011, 03:58:47 pm
don't cry bro, I was just playing but honestly I love bc2 but I have to say that it gets old when every damn topic on this site gets bc2 spammed


Title: Re: Socom 4 beta
Post by: Laughing Turd on April 26, 2011, 04:55:25 pm
i liked it. it really takes skill to play this game. very methodical and slower paced than anything ive played. i wish i had played the other modes tho.
