Have you FRAGGED Tiger Woods?

mtv.com has an article about the realease of Tiger Woods new golf game. Woopee! The big news is that he says he is a SOCOM fan, and spends hours a night playing. I love the thought of hitting Tiger with a grenade in the first 3 seconds of the game, leaving him sitting in his mansion yelling about me and my Noob game!

SOCOM 3 Link Exchange Offer

Hey webmasters and clan members, have you a Socom related Web site? I would love to set up a link exchange with you, so both of our sites can get a little more exposure. Please comment to this post with your site and we can get this underway. Peace Out!

SOCOM 3 vs Fire Team Bravo

According to the rumor mill that is the internet, the folks at Zipper an Sony Computer Entertanment America (SCEA) have built in some way for your game of Socom Fire Team Bravo on your PSP to connect to your Socom 3 game running on your Playstation 2 (PS2). They have been pretty tight lipped about it, but did say that the single player games will reflect progress in your single player game on the other.

A List of Vehicles in SOCOM 3

M1045 Up-Armored with TOW Missile
ALSV (Advanced Light Strike Vehicle)
Bradley
CRRC
T-72
Ural troop carrier
Ural cargo
Technical pickup
Technical SUV
M1114 Up-Armored with .50 Cal Machine Gun
M1025 SEAL Configured Multi-Turret
SOC-R
Technical speedboat

I just hope the mounted guns on these vehicles work a little better than RMGs in SOCOM 2, which had about 10 degrees of movement. Actually my favorite is the night vision scope on the RMG on the back of the base in Enwapi, which doesn't have enough site to see the ground in front of it.

A Film composer scores SOCOM 3

Hey, look at this article at gamespot.com. Were you find out that James Michael Dooley conducted a 70-piece orchestra to create background music for Sony's new US Navy SEALs game, SOCOM 3. Oh boy, orchestra music!

questions answered by the Zipper and SCEA development team

Over at SOCOMBLOG there is a blog entry that answers some questions you may be having about the upcoming release of Socom 3. Here is a list of questions answered:

Will SOCOM 3 offer different scope reticule options?
What are the different sizes for the maps? What is the smallest size, and how could it compare to a specific map from S2?
How will the new encumbrance system work?
What about strafing momentum and bullet damage affecting the victim?
How effective is the public beta? Have there been drastic improvements to the game already?

SOCOM 3 Release Date

Well the release date is officially set for October 11th, 2005. Which is creeping up pretty fast. If you search around on the internet some, you can find video footage of the demo for SOCOM 3.

I can hardly wait, I have found that lately socom 2 is getting to be a drag w/ the small maps and the outrageous grenade throws.

SOCOM 3 Release Tournament

Sounds like sony is teaming with gamebattles to host a mega-tournament right after the release of the game. The two companies are in contract negotiations for a live launch tournament for the new "Socom 3" game in October. Kellam (a dude from gamebattles) said the event will be held in New York or Chicago and will pit up to 64 teams of eight members each. In addition to receiving a sum from Sony, he said he expects to attract other sponsors.

See the article I found this in.

Single Player: Undetected

I just discovered that the same trick where you to run around in multiplayer with grenades equiped and people don't get gun up also works in single player. So on the missions where you need to remain undetected, just keep your grenades on and you can run all around the baddies without them detecting you. Though they do end up detecting the other members of your team.

Cord Pullers

These little bastards infect all the online games. Socom 1 was nearly unplayable due to code magic and Socom 2 got to be a joke with the magic switches. Rumor has it that in Socom 3 if a disconnect is detected by the servers, then the player is automatically dropped from the server!

On a side note: In Socom 2 if another player has a long clan tag, it had to have been created by pulling a cord. They are advertising that they are glitchers. Do the right thing and vote them out.

An end to Rushers

So with bigger maps, easier kills, 16 members on a team and better hit detection; I would suppose that rushers, especially running around in the open won't do to well. I am hoping that team players will get the reward they deserve.

You ever notice how it is always someone running around the center of the map that bitches about lag or I-DUBS, lets fry their EGGS!!
