That's what I've been saying when I play bad I go up but when I play good it goes down.. When I say bad I mean just like a even death to kill ratio..

I went up while my kill ration went down. Playing against you higher ranked guys and me with the butter sticks really helped. Then playing against the SeaSnipers and killing some captains really helped!

Soopa, why'd you leave us?

Sober he'd make the shot though.. Just a couple drinks and he's thrown way off. He got killed by Jim for the love of god..

i wonder if theres some sort of handicapping in this game.

cuz... jim is reminding me of phil when he started.

phil had this amazing shot, as if he got headshots every time he pressed trigger. made no sense... first day playing game.

jim seems to be doing same shit... killing mad quickly.


but..... phils shot turned into mush once his rank improved... and i mean... jim is like brand new...


just doesnt add up.

I think there is a handicap because I notice my M603 jams more often now that I am a higher rank. When I was an ensign that gun was money!

Yeah, I noticed I was lagging and ted noticed it as well later on.

yea i notice that too... when i was under 10k my gun seemed to jam wayyyyyy more than normal.


also its fucked how underdog teams can manage to keep up even tho u know they shouldnt.


fuck last night... at one point phil was in that right hall on Death Trap... got hit with grenade after grenade... then i put half a clip center of his chest...

then he fires... BAM IM DEAD. lol



i also noticed now that Teds rank has improved.... he doesnt kill me as much. He used to get 1 shot kills with fucking machine gun.

He seems to be better... but just doesnt kill me as easily.


This shit def has some sort of handicapping

Whats the point of handicapping? I don't like it because it makes people like me who are so-so play well against people who are better. If you are better and shoot the guy first you should win!

i dunno. i think again... it has something to do with team configuration


i notice it much more in small games 4-6 people... i rarely feel like ive... or someone else has been handicapped when its 8v8

naa lost them playing against the noobs last night, again.

no worries... theyll be back as soon as we play another real game...

i havent spent a full day without them yet... i pretty much always close the night with a score of 25-35k assuming i go out with a bang.


i get myself into trouble when i play until 2+AM on a weeknight. motor functions slow right down.



i just bought component video cables and a new controller...... so ITS ON NOW.

Wait, so you haven't been playing SOCOM II in progressive scan?

And what type of controller did you buy? I bought one a couple weeks ago, but was unhappy with it so I returned it and bought a new Sony one, clear gray plastic.

nope. i havent..... been too lazy to get out and buy cables.

well actually not true... been wanting to get Monster Cable... but their soo much cheaper online then in stores... and i been too lazy to buy online.


anyway... at best buy they had Monster components, standard PS2 Components, and MadCatz components.

The MadCatz were only $10....... the sony were $25... and the monster $60. i said fuck it and went with the madcatz... if im not pleased, fuck it... im out $10. but i figure there cant be much of a quality difference from different types of component cables in a VIDEO GAME.

i wanna kick myself for saying that since all the cables in my system are over $50+ each. but fuck it.


i also never hooked up the optical audio... been too lazy to find my box of cables. lol


this is the controller i got.

Logitech Extreme Action -- I figure they make good products. Should be decent.

Yea, I have been using the Sony component cables for about 2 years now and it does look sweet. Definitely worth the investment. And yea, I can't imagine much of a difference in quality for a video game, no way would I spend the money on monster cable ones.


i also never hooked up the optical audio... been too lazy to find my box of cables. lol

That's next on my list, but I have a BOSE Lifestyle system, so it's harder to find them.


this is the controller i got.

Logitech Extreme Action -- I figure they make good products. Should be decent.
That is the exact one I got, but returned it a few days later. It was really comfortable, I liked the leather on the sides. My problem with it was that the L3 and R3 were to easy to press, and the way I have it set up, I would suddenly go from full auto to single shot in a fire fight. Maybe it was just a bad one, but I decided to stick with what I know and just got a new Sony one.
