I'm planning on getting this game, and am waiting to see whether it would be worth it or not, but not all of us can get the beta keys :P I've heard it's got tons of bugs... but assuming they can fix these bugs, will it be a good game?

The game itself if amazing, the gameplay is tight and this is the closet thing your gonna get to Socom 2 on a next gen console, because there is no point in remaking a game. The beta however has long load times and occasional freezing, but I'm sure they will be fixed.

Yeah I'm thinking about getting it, mostly for the headset but I do like tactical shooters.

I hope they fix these problems that people are talking about.

Loving it, if you liked Socom2, you'll love Socom:Confrontation. If they get the bugs worked out its going to be some great times for sure. Heck since being in the beta I've added like 10 friends lol. Its a blast and normally everyone has a mic. Some games alot of chatter but then some matches just alot of thinking going on :)

Im digging it alot. The controls/gameplay feel spot on, the audio and guns sound great. The only problems ive had is long load times, but they say they will fix it by the end of this week, and i only had one match that lagged and that was my first game. I was a little worried that Slant Six would screw it up but the did a great job, kudos!

what are you guys talking about? there is nothing good about the beta.. it was the worst game ive tried for the ps3, and everyone's argument is "its a beta" ya i know its a beta, but the final product wont change much.. there are so many better games out, and this improves on none of them.. try the beta and see for urself

beta is prety bad, but it look slie it will be online with socom 1 and 2 once the bugs are wokred out. I will get the game and socom fans know that to expect, but if your new to the series the beta does not do it any justice. Its to cloe to the ps2 version and the bugs are awful.

The Beta is broken. Sure, it should be fixed before release, but with all the time the developers had to work on this game till now they should be ashamed of themselves considering how far off the mark this beta hits. This game, the way the beta plays, should in no way be ready for store shelves by mid October. People who love Socom are relieved to have their beloved game with third person perspective and tactical action again, and they will look past all the (many) issues with this product for sake of their favorite shooter's reputation. This game has the potential to trump alot of online shooters, but I don't think they can do it in time. Maybe, like RB6V2, after a couple of post-release patches the game will be as enjoyable as Socom2.

the beta is pretty bad but like once your in a game its fun. But the long load times and sometimes the game rooms lock up. So I would just wait for the full release. Keep in mind its just a beta.

this guy is right, I am a SOCOM fan and this in no way is a next gen socom, nor will it be by october, that would take no less than a miracle... Even the mgo beta did not change much from the final product..

Im a Socom fan also and this game IS Socom, i dont know what else you want. The only difference to me is the over-the-shoulder view which can be switched from left to right shoulder.

LOL, man don't listen to these people. The people that are lying to you here are the same ones that say EVERY LAST PS3 game is awesome. The game is boring repetitive, and NOTHING like the good shooters of a Call of Duty game. This game should've stayed a single player oriented game, then it would've had a chance in hell. And for those people wondering, yes I am in the beta. Plain and simple DON'T get Socom:Confrontation cuz the game is nothing to brag about!
