PS3: SOCOM - Confrontation

So the beta for this game starts this weekend for people who pre-ordered it. I might have a couple extra invites to it as well if somebody wants one. Who's going to play the beta or get the full game when it comes out?

They've also been designing it to be more like SOCOM II than the last couple, which is a good thing because I have so many great memories from S2 but not too many from 3/CA.

I'm seriously looking forward to it. Especially after looking at those kick ass screen shots. I don't know how it would work but, I'll take an invite.

If you pre-order it through gamestop.com, you'll get an invite to the beta along with 2 invites for friends, so if any of you are definitely getting the full game, you should just do this

Keep in mind, it's not a FPS. It's not first person.


And I never got my code e-mailed to me, so I can't invite any of you. I was given an invite code by a friend.

This will probably be the best shooter of the year like SOCOM 2 was. I have been a hardcore SOCOM fan since #1 and was fortunate enough to be invited in the private beta and reported my ideas and glitch exploits to the dev team. It was cool hanging out in rooms with Seth and the rest of the dev team.

The aim in the diamond and see their name was my idea that they used for the public beta.

BTW, I'm on all the time in US West 1.

Let's start of list of AZine members that are in the public beta.

From what I understand, this game when released will be solely online play.

I thought it had a single-player mode, but that it was quite short, sort of like Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.

So lame that it's online only. I simply cannot be the only person who doesn't want to play with others.

COD4's single player is actually really, really good. It's worth playing some time.

You're not alone. There are a bunch of immatures on LIVE, I here! And I have no time for immature comments that these guys make. Besides, I REALLY enjoy playing by MYSELF!

This game has never been about a good single player. It's the online play that made it so popular. I think it's great that they didn't waste their time on a single player campaign
