SOCOM 4 multiplay beta is available

Hi all,

from this afternoon SOCOM beta is available for the PSN+ subscribers in Europe.
I think it will be available to general public next week, but i am not sure.

It takes a while to download it (~2G game itself+update).
Game itself not flawless but quite entertaining.

I was only on it for like 20 mins but I thought it was pretty bad. I'll try again later sometime anyway

been in for a good while, the difference the weapon unlocks makes is rather large. for some reason i got put on the 1 team over and over again so when i do play on the other side my guns are a much lower level.

I quite like it, clan suppression is great if u have a clan to play with but if the other clan are all campers then it's hard to flush the feckers out. Will buy when it comes out.

I eventually gave up playing it about a week ago. The game's graphics is grand, controls are bit odd but i never played previous SOCOM games maybe i just not got used to it.

But the most annoying thing is that without weapon unlocks it is fairly hard to play since you can shoot the fella number of times and he remains virtually unharmed and than they just shoot you dead with just one shot.

There was a patch download recently, any update on what it was for ? any better now?

It can be enjoyable if you put more time into it. The problem is you have to unlock the good weapons before you can start dropping people regularly. I hate that about games.

I might pick it up depending on the price.

I think it also makes sense to play it in campain mode first to get used to the controls. I am playing killzone 3 most of the time and it was quite hard first as same sharpshooter button in SOCOM is throwing a grenade and in Killzone duckin the player. It ended up in the high number of suicides :-)

Just played it there.

It's not great tbh, Zipper didn't do a great job on MAG and it's much the same tbh.

What i loved about the last one was the strategy element to it, one death and you were out for the round.

It had a realistic edge to it, run around running and gunning and you'd soon find yourself watching for a few minutes.

Now it's just mass every man for himself kill-fests with no emphasis on team work.

Another COD style game.... I hate these team deathmatch run around in circles shooters. Since when did battles just involve men running up kill streaks with both forces spread across the four corners of the map

They had it somewhat right in the last one, it had a purpose and it's own unique style, along with Battlefield they had a strategic element.

Not sure will I get this and if I do it's won't be for the online anyway.
