SOCOM: Confrontation questions...

So I finally picked up a PS3 this week!!! I am thinking about picking up SOCOM Confromtation, but all the reviews I have read talk about all the bugs the game was released with. I am wondering for those who still play the game if those bugs have been ironed out? I am also wondering for those who are still playing if there are still people online playing this game, or are the servers dead?

Thanks in advance.

Actually i dont have the game myself, but i thing there was a patch that cleared many of the bugs, you also get the Playstation official headset which is the one of the best onesfor online gaming on the PS3:)

Picked it up a few weeks ago, i've had no problems. Hardly no lag, bugs or anything else come to mind, just a great underrated online game :).

I bought the Socom bundle a few weeks ago new for only 40 bucks, haven't played the game yet tho but will try it out soon. I hope it's decent

DONT GET IT. Its still laggy and its not that great of a game. I have it but I only played it like 7 times and never tough it sinceRTUUMM

I bought that game for the headset. So the game itself only costed about $3.

Socom is just terrible. I cant say anything good about it. Its just cheaply made. The framerate struggles. Matchmaking is terrible.

I can't say anything good about it.

Keep in mind that I played it after it was supposedly fixed by patches.

Are you kidding me, socom is no lag... i was on 2 days ago... rooms hold up to 256 about 10 of those rooms were fulled to the max while the other 10-20 were about half or more than half fulled...

Its not as much as cod5 having 100,000 people on daily, but i think 3,000 is enough people.

I have two good news for you.

1. There are plenty of Socom gamers enjoying the game.

2. Pretty much all the bugs are ironed out and the game plays properly now.

I was a beta tester and let me tell you, I don't know how in the gods name they have released the game without taking care of most issues it had. However, that's a past now.

Two things to keep in mind, people are very, very good in the game. Don't get upset if you die more then you expect. Until you get use to the maps, weapons and gameplay, it will be bit hard.

The patch will take around 600MB to download.

Use a mic. 95% of Confrontation players communicate, it's a heavy team-based game, it's realistic and brutal, but very satisfying.

If you like Socom, you will be addicted, today it's a good game, months before it was quite a headache. ;)

The bugs have been fixed, but unless you are a hardcore tactical shooter player then you won't get a ton of playing time out of it. Tactical shooters just don't do multiplayer very well.

Thanks for all the info. I played a ton of SOCOM 1 and 2 back in the day, and am looking forward to picking up a copy next week.
