Who is the leader of ACL? I'll send them a friends invite when I log on. I need an invite.

Just picked it up. $38.88, not $30 :smitler: :angryfawk:

Make my ass wake up 7:30 to go to Target when they open at 8. Just for that, I'm going to take the extra $8.88 of aggression on you when we play. TK bish.


On a side note, I loved how most of the registers (15/20?) were staffed when they open (and not busy), yet when I usually go in around 11-12 (busier), there's only 7-8 that are staffed. Fawk Smitty and Target!

Actually he said that SOOPA said it. check it out.

I just called my EB games and told them hold me a slim PS2, headset and Socom 3... I will be out later today to pick it up... He said... OKAY everything is here waiting for you.


Soopa said Target has Socom 3 for $30.00 on thursday... get their early.

lol.. but still, you can team kill him. ahahhaha. I think he actually got his for 50.00. so he actually paid more than you for it.

this is not much of an improvement over SOCOM 2.

the only thing i definately like better is the ability to customize your weapon. beyond that, its pretty shitty. especially graphics wise... it's AWFUL.

not yet decided on game play, only played a few rounds with Huy so far. game as a whole though is rather disappointing.

Will take some time to get used to everything. So far i've only played the respawn rooms. All the guns seem pretty even except the M16 with the 4X scope. The gun is sick it's pretty much a sniper rifle. I'm not feeling the game play seems like everything moves way too fast. Reminds me of that gay Ghost Recon game they had online. I'm sure it will get better once zipper listens to all the complaints and fixes minor bugs with patches. It's def worth the buy at $38.99 but this will def be splitting playing time with Socom 2.

When was the last time you booted up Socom 2? The environment is much more detailed in the new game. Many more bushes etc that appear more dense and lifelike. Also, when looking through a scope the graphics look better too. It still pales in comparison to Halo 2's graphics but the gameplay is better IMO.

I've only been booted once and I'm not sure if it was related to their server or not because my PS2 froze when it happened.

Agreed wasn't expecting any changes there.. All they do is add more crap..

I think graphics are better then Socom II but compared to other games they aren't so hawt..

I love the vehicles and tanks and boats..

Got booted once.. But I expect more to come..

Overall I like this game(not a suprise) but I enjoy the more realistic game play and overall feel..

Agree with whoever said this is more like Ghost Recon than SOCOM.

Man, i'm going to keep trying to like this just because I enjoy playing with ya'll but it's pretty hard for me to see why anyone would choose this over something like Battlefield 2. It's essentially a clone of the early version of that game with worse graphics/realism.

This is definately not a GOOD game overall. 2 outta 5 stars.

This is ALOT like Ghost Recon in the way that it's short SUPER REPETITIVE games. There's very little variance... it feels like your moves are scripted.

I tried playing single player last night and it was lame. Very repetitive. However the online games seem to be a lot more fun. A lot of people are still just learning to play or are getting used to the differences between SC 2 and SC 3. I think it'll get better in time.

The nice thing is if you create a room and just leave it on medley it'll randomly select which type of mission (demo, breach, escort, etc) so it doesn't get old running for the bomb, etc. over and over again.

also incredibly annoying how you cant get back into main screen to see who else is online/where while you're in a game. the UI sucks, reminds me even more of ghost recon in this respect.
