Yeah, im getting sum issues too. I've decided to not play Socom for a bit till they resolve these issues. Im just gonna go back to kicking sum bootay in Metal Gear Online :P
I have to say I was worried but I unpacked the game got it all loaded and just got done playing for about 3 hours straight and it ran fine and better than I could have imagined. I was in the beta and really didn't know if I wanted to get the game but I would have to say I'm glad I did unpack it and give it a shot. The headset is awesome and after my 3 hour session Socom has come back to life for me. After the beta I thought it was dead for sure, /Six got it together and with a couple more tweaks and features it will supercede most peoples expectations especially if your a old time Socom fan.
Bingo. That's what happens when you let the individual devs do whatever they want with the online part of their games.
What do you mean online part? Its online only... that's all there is... the servers are too over crowded. First day the game played smoothly, by the 2nd it was freezing and having server crashes.
[QUOTE="bez2083"]I would buy it, but I can't find anywhere that sells those damn PS Store Cards.Jack_Bauer07
It's available on BD disc for the same price or $60 with the headset.
Yeah, just found out it was $40 w/o headset. I was quoted $50 from a Gamestop. They also told me you couldn't DL the game over PSN. Bad information all arond.
Funny guy... All I can say is that's just a load of ****. It's because so many people are buying the game - wait a while, soon they'll fix the problem.

when i had my ps3 i experienced the same issue with warhawk. i had trouble connecting for the first 2 weeks and stats wouldn't save. same issue happened with gta4 and MGO and it looks like its plaguing socom too now. this is a big reason why i support paying for live. the service is just that much better and its only $4 a month. never had any issues connecting nor did i ever have to wait 2 weeks for network problems to get sorted out.
Well the game is up and running, with no problems........I heard there was this one online service that was having problems for like 3 days, roughly a month ago:?, yikes I think you have to pay for that service too..... PSN FTW! :D
COD4 was the same for several months on the 360. Gears still sucks online after a couple of years. :roll: PSN has nothing to do with your connection.
umm no. cod4 was fine from day one for me.
and the lag issue in gears 1 is not because of the infrastructure but because of the developer. mp in gears was a poorly optimized last minute implementation. there were never any server issue.

so when a 360 game runs like crap on the 360, it's the dev, but when a ps3 game runs crappy, it's the psn???!?!?!!

So you are the only human who has never been disconnected for no reason? Sounds like you are lying a little bit.

typical lemming respons:roll:
the lag is not a network issue its an optimization issue. the network issues in the games i listed are due to poor infrastructure. gears 1 runs just fine and connects to games almost everytime it just suffers from high ping (250 range). this is not live's fault

thats not what i meant. the issues i had with warhawk and those other games were prevalent for weeks after the release date. stats weren't saving and connection attempts were close to 0% successful for the first week or two. everyone has minor disconnection issues here and there, even on pc

But resistance ran aeons better than gears did online at launch, but the PSN is broken right?

sigh. I'm talking about PSN vs Live. Not game vs game. look at GTA4 it took about 2 weeks for the connection issues people were having on psn to be fixed. it worked on day 1 on live. since its the same game we can infer that the problem lies in the infrastructure
This is why I havent bought it yet, these games always have issues right when they come out. WoW was crippled for at least a month with issues like this. So if Blizzard has these kinda issues, we cant really blame /6 either. And to suggest that its "PSN" is completely asanine
The only real problem with connecting to socom are the socom servers, nothing to do with PSN.
Despite what you fanboys may think, Socom is a popular game with a lot of hardcore fans that bought the game day 1 and all tried to log on, too much for the servers too handle.
edit: this game most likely won't sell millions but there will be a steady 30,000 people on at a time at primetimes for years to come.
Last night it was running better then the day before, but it's still pretty choppy, especially in the menus. In a strange way it's almost nostalgic. The gameplay itself is actually pretty dam good. I'm interested to see what kind of scores the major review sites give it. I'm guessing 8s. The game never really should have shipped in the condition the servers were in, this is the first game I've experienced this gen, with this many online issues.
