SOCOM 4!!!!!

Clan challenge success! We won a game last night!
Thanks to Jay, Gunnell and Browza for making it happen.....nothing can stop us now.

Clan challenge function is working fine although you only have to dump a room once the game has been played or returning to the lobby. Invites are working and you don't have too accept straight away and saying no is an option!

Yeah wasn't too bad. Still would be nice for us to send a challenge to another clan (that wasn't CDR) and for it to work.

That was my last session on the beta. It ends tomorrow anyhow so I'm deleting it and waiting for it's release next week.

Pre-order bonus at game.

Pay 40 quid and receive 80p of reward points instead on 40p? Wow. That's a real incentive!

Not interested in the points, all I want is the dlc map from release!

Is that official? Game have the exclusive DLC deal? 'Cos there's nothing in that picture or on their website to indicate that that's the case!

Give me proof!!!

It doesn't sound exclusive since Wallnut has seen the same offer in Gamestation.

For all we know all preorders from which ever source will get it.

I'm still getting my copy from Shop2, in the fond hope it arrives on Wednesday.

And so the beta ends....

Don't do that to me, look at the quality game modes too.

I have to say I can't pick a favourite between them, there were so many good ones (gonna miss the VIPs). Only one shite map amongst them, how many other games can you say that?

Can anyone guess which one I'm talking about?

Rats Nest?


The thing is, they could easily bring back the demolition mode. Breach, escort & extraction would be trickier as they would have to design breach maps and write A.I routines for the VIP's on the other 2 modes. Give us all the demolition & suppression S2 maps (tarted up) as DLC you bastards! That would be a great start.

Did they actually write code for VIPs? All I can recollect of them doing were walking down the wrong pathway, turning round and jumping around like a pack of mad rabbits whilst teammates shouted at them!
Its a shame no-one stuck with MAG to provide feedback on how they supported and updated the game, would've given us an small indication of what to expected for support/DLC. Oh well!

Sad too see the beta end and really enjoyed it, warts and all, but roll on the 21st!

Can I throw in a S3 map - Harvester. Me, Mash n Gunnell chatted about this the other day, oh what joy that map brought......or will I get moaned at for bringing that to the table.lol

I wasn't thinking Rats nest although it was one of the more average maps. The one I had in mind was shadow falls, it was a frickin nightmare, too dark which encouraged excessive camping!

I agree with you Mick, No reason why we couldn't have the S2 maps in HD with demo mode for dlc. Who knows maybe they have a selection of five of them waiting for release , after all they have managed it with one map already.

I'm with you on that one H, I have fond memories of S3, even though it had evolved from S2 it still felt and moved like a Socom game. Harvester was a quality map, I also enjoyed crucible, devils road, tidal fury, fault and killing fields. There were no where near as many maps as S2 but there were enough good ones to keep you going. I also liked the addition of convoy as a game mode.

Anymore memories?

Suicide CDR death squad on the beach of Fish Hook. It was the first time Pikey & Speedy (nee Singe) joined us for a game against another clan. We were getting our arses handed to us so we thought we'd just get it over and done with by all dropping nades at our feet. Done it for 3 rounds on the trot. Still makes me chuckle to this day.

Lookin good!

Looking sweet.

Looks like Shopto are processing our orders with posting today looking very likely. Might be lucky to get them tomorrow, if not definitely on Thursday. As is good Friday this week, I expecting a huge turn-out and a monster first session!

For those that don't use Mick's favourite Facebook.

Abandoned already on the disc! Code required to unlock - robbing fooks

http://forums.socom.com/t5/SOCOM-4/Abandoned-is-already-on-the-DISC/td-p/1756442

I blame EA for this - they started this trend!

How much do they want for the map???

Also - this is worrying : "You have to scratch off and enter the Pro DLC code on the back of the instruction booklet to access the custom game modes."

This means it also has a 'use once' online code. So if you buy secondhand, you have to buy the online code from the store to play online. Another EA trend.

E.A. Have a lot to answer for.

Today's the the day!

Those Shopto orders should be dropping through the letterbox today. Just need to find out what the skinny is with the Abandoned map DLC. Apparently, in was an in-store only promotion with GAME - but it must be on the PSN store later today?

Socom 4 in da house! Just had a call from the missus - it's arrived.

Now to bribe the boy to load it up on my account and start playing some respawn games for me...
(So that will be the reason why my KD ratio will be shite - honest guv!)

First game - 6 kills, 9 deaths. A negative KD ratio - yep, I'm back to being my usual crap self.

Have just checked the PS EU Blog and there's no plans to bring Abandonded to the store today. Bugger. Will just have to wait until it's released..Or pre-order it from GAME then cancel it after I've got the code..But knowing my luck they'll process the order and I'll end up with 2 copies..

Also, it appears that the EU has been stiffed further as the Yanks get 'Socom Pro' from the outset. Details here:

http://www.socom.com/en-us/Blog?cat=45

They did say they if you need to buy 'cos you bought a s/h copy it will be on the store on the 26th of this month. So hopefully the EU store will be updated with goodies on the 27th...

A few hiccups last night, but overall it works really well. At least we know we need at least 8 of us for either custom or cdr v cdr clan games. Also, when creating a room, try and keep the round count & round times down a bit. 8 rounds of 10 minutes each was dragging on a bit...

I think we need to crack-on with some respawn rank games so we can all get to at least level 11 as then you should unlock most of the weapons and shit - plus learn the maps in the process. (Once PSN is up from it's maintenance).

PSN has now been down for over 7 hours...Something tells me that those stupid little keyboard warriors are playing silly buggers again...

I doubt we will get on tonight, sony recon it might be down for one or two days.

Edit: One or Two days my ass.......

God damn hackers. Now 3 days and counting.

Anyway, gave me a chance to play through the SP which I have now completed. Not bad apart from your AI team mates being twats most of the time. Still plenty to do with custom games and modding up the weapons. I wonder if the modded weapons carry over to MP?
