20 bucks for a bluetooth headset??? thats a hell of a deal!!!

and by the way, it is a really nice headset that looks good, functions great, and even comes with a charging cradle, not just a cord.
The guy at gamestop told me thirty. If it was twenty more I might have bought it just for the hell of it

btw we need to get a game going with all of us sometime this week

its better and better every day. i played last night for about 3 hours. the lag has mostly gone away, i have not had a single game crash (even with 32 users) since saturday.

the clan support, stats, rankings are still fucked up for the most part but the core gameplay is functioning at a very respectable level finally. Now if they could just get the clan support and stats functioning properly and organize the server list in a way that makes sense!!

as you guys can see, it's now past 1am

WTF??!! it keeps saying:

SAVE DATA IS CORRUPT. YOU CANNOT SAVE YOUR PLAYER PROFILE. PRESS THE PS BUTTON TO RETURN TO THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE SCREEN. YOU CAN DELETE THE CORRUPT SAVE DATA BY USING THE SAVED DATA UTILITY IN THE XMB.

I had the same thing last week.. I think everyone is getting the exact same error..


The data that is corrupt is the "Saved Game Data", NOT the "Game Data". In XBA, just delete the SOCOM file under "Saved Game Data" and start the game again. This is a small (under 1000kb).
Sucks.. Just bought PS3 loaded all this and got same messages.. The servers were rough last week also.. Makes me miss the 360..

....well, maybe you should hold off for now... cuz it seems like most of us either can't even play this damn game or those that are playing are saying there're still things to iron out

what do you mean you cant get it to work? yes, it takes awhile to do the install / update process but its pretty straightforward and once its completed, the game works fine (except the the lack of the clan / trophy support still) but the game itself is running as smooth as butter and the servers have not crashed in over a week.

They have to fix the ranking system and should add a couple more features, but the gameplay is awesome. It's classic SOCOM.

Too bad I haven't had much time to play lately, and probably won't for a while to come

^It now works just fine for me. I just wish my PS3 weren't retarded and actually worked fine with my Bluetooth headset.

Very fun game though. I swear it reminds me of paintballing with the constant communication and having only one life.

Thought I'd raise this thread from the dead to see if there are any other SOCOMers out there. I forgot all about this thread till Tommy messaged me.

There is one thing on SOCOM 2 that I really miss on Confrontation.......
RRAAAAHHEEEEELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Ahh, I know your problem. You didn't sync it up using the usb cord. You probably synced it up as a bluetooth device. Read the manual on how to sync it with the usb cord.

SOCOM: Confrontation 1.50 Update
Posted by SOCOM: Confrontation Online Team
In addition to Tournaments, Clan Ladders and the Calendar, the team at Slant Six has been busy adding new community requested features to the 1.50 update. The following items have been confirmed for the 1.50 update with additional items to come:

  • Added the ability to join directly into a friend's game off of the friend's list.
  • Added password protected custom games.
  • Drastically improved the weapon selection ring. You can now move while selecting weapons and the weapon selection is much faster and more accurate.
  • Slightly reduced the Famas accuracy.
  • Improved the damage of the Desert Eagle. One shot kill with light and medium armor.
  • Improved sniper rifle damage. One shot kills with bolt action rifles on light and medium armor.
  • Fixed a large number of level exploits.
  • Channel names are sorted alphabetically by default.
  • Reduced the long fade in at the beginning of rounds to less than 1 second (the "darkness" is gone).
  • Added a 30 second game start timer to games when greater than 60% of the players ready up.
  • Clan patches are now displayed on your character in-game.
  • Clan tags are now displayed with your player name in-game.
  • Added center markers to all scopes and changed the color of the crosshairs so that they are visible at night.
  • Kill cam stops following target after 5 seconds.
  • Button prompts in death cam fade out after 5 seconds.
  • Target Spotting now defaults to off.
  • Weapons selected in-game are not saved to your custom loadout.

In bold are the things that I have been wanting since the Private Beta... Looks like this game is really becoming the SOCOM us socom fans wanted!
Still want a damn map pack though...

Sorry, I'm at home and don't have the PS3 here. My psn is Sabre88, add me.

Good thing that they're making sniper rifles and the desert eagle one shot kills. Time to go back to sniping. I made this awesome controller layout for sniping that lets me zoom in with L1, so I don't have to take my hands off the left stick.

I like being the KSK though instead of the French. The FAMAS was sick, but I like using the bike helmet that the Germans get and using a gray suit. It reminds me of the way the old SOCOM II single player SEALs look when you go to the hydroelectric dam as well as (I think) the level that looks like the mixer. I'm a sucker for nostalgia. The Sabre in my name is from the (SAS) Sabre from SOCOM II online

I haven't figured out how to sync via USB. I went to Bluetooth Devices hoping to see if there was even any USB option. I'm guessing I have to unsync and re-do all? Noob question, but how do I sync via USB? I didn't really get into it because I haven't played Socom in a long ass time and it doesn't static on the games I play now, but I wanna get back into Socom soon. Still occasional static, but not as bad as Socom.

I was in-game and it asked for me to quit to do all that mumble jumble so I was like fuck it, I'll do it another time.

Also I stopped going on Azine because I sold my car and am frequently on another forum for my new car that's why. But I've recently gotten active in Azine a lot again that's why you see me randomly posting again lol. And the parts in my sig are still forsale, that remaining 1 item.
