SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta

[califoreigner]

surprised there isn't already a thread for this. anyone else getting in on it? opened up yesterday for those who preordered (and 2x who were lucky enough to have had the code shared with them). qore subscribers have to wait an additional week. what are your impressions? i've personally never played a SOCOM online so i can't comment on how it stacks up. aside from the pretty inexcuseable connection issues (considering they pushed it back from the 1st), the game is pretty awesome so far and i enjoy it more than MGO which i had trouble gettting into. /run-on sentence

my profile name is califoreigner and i'm down to partake in some seals action with any of yous who are down with it for the next month that it's up.

may not be too late. people that got the code can share it with two others. i've already extended mine to my folks, but surely there's at least a few guys on here that got in on it. beta runs until oct. 5th and qore subscribers should receive their codes on sept. 12th.

so far i'm having a lot of fun with it. there is only one map (plus a larger version of the same map), but its a good one- the classic crossroads map. mercenaries and commandos have some different weapons to choose from so that adds some variety to the mix. all the 16v16 matches i've hopped in were pretty laggy so i'm sticking to 4v4 and 8v8 for now. modes include suppression, demolition and extraction (maybe others?). they say they'll have the connection issues completely ironed out around the time qore guys get their codes. only big problem i've ran into so far is loading which can sometimes take up to 5 minutes before a match begins.

I'm in, my friend sent me one of his buddy codes last night.

It was kind of late though, so I only had a chance to mess around with the character customization before crashing. I'll probably be checking it out this week. PSN handle is in the sig.

Anyone have a spare code?

I've never played a SOCOM game before, but I'm interested in this one. What could you compare the multiplayer to?
