[QUOTE="W1NGMAN-"]Check it out guys, patch 1.3 is being worked on and is gonna offer quite a bit, what do you guys think?Albanian_Killa

Hold on wait a minute, are you telling me that they're patching a patch? Pretty lame if you ask me.

You really grasp for straws when trying to insult PS3 games. I don't care if you own a PS3, you're a flatout 360 fanboy. Patching a patch makes no sense. Patch 1.2 fixed all the server issues and freeze errors. These are the issues that IGN and GameSpot raise. 1UP also raised these issues, but retracted them soon after as patch 1.20 came out so soon after the game released. Patch 1.30 adds Trophies, a Tournament system (GameBattles-style) for clans to use to organize clan wars, a calendar which shows all clan activities at what dates, and the tournaments you are signed up for. It also adds a party system (game invites are already available) and it adds matchmaking, a feature noone in the SOCOM community uses as a main way of finding games, but a nice feature for quickies. It comes out very soon, but right now, at its current state, Confrontation is not accurate to the GS review. More like to the 1UP review. After patch 1.30, it goes to the 9/10 range for me. That's what a game can do that a review can't, give me enjoyment, and then some after. I love Confrontation. I'm not buying Resistance 2 cause I don't think I would play it if I bought it cause I love SOCOM too much. I already didn't buy LBP.

man, patch 1.30 sounds awesome.. this game is just getting better and better...

and i can understand both sides of the issue.. they should have made sure most of these issues were minimized for the retail launch.. i certianly understand that noone wants to spend $40 ~ $60 for a game and then have to muddle through loads of server issues.. but at the same time, seeing as these issues were obviously temporary in nature, the game doesnt deserve such a low review.. a "6.5" is massive overkill.. especially when it may deter future buyers from experiencing this great game....
