I played it last night.
Like everyone else, it took about 5 mins to log in, then I stood there for a minute, then I ran out and got shot and killed and the game froze and I had to do a hard reset on my PS3.
I think I'll stay away from this one.

I've had lots of freezes. I've heard someone had their PS3 bricked through a SOCOM freeze. Bit of a worry.

Im not a fan so far but how can u really judge when it runs so slow and takes so long to load etc. Either way in my opinion its got nothing on cod4 from what ive played but its hard to get into it when it runs like that.

Sony SCE have apologised for this poor beta trial and will try to fix it or make it better by the end of the week. According to a blog from SonyUS for the US SOCOM Beta.

yeh it seems that sony wernt quite as ready for the ammount of beta testers they let it as they had thought.

We are doing everything we can to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and you should see some improvements progressively over the next couple of days. However, we do not expect to have the issues completely resolved until close to the end of next week.

We will be performing server maintenance and rolling out a new patch on September 9th at 5am PDT, 1200 GMT. The SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation game servers will be unavailable during the maintenance. The server maintenance is not expected to last longer than 1 1/2 hours.

SOCOM: Confrontation Public Beta 1.10 Patch

* Adds support for European EULAs.
* Adds support for dedicated servers located in Europe and Australia.
* Addresses a number of stability and late joining issues.
* Reduce the volume of the proximity chat by 50%.

The server maintenance and patch are not meant to address all issues. We will have more updates to both the server and client in the future.

Don't get your knickers in a bunch sanny boy, not every one is in the beta and are curious as to how it plays. Posts like swifties are helpful.

With the release date around the corner the only element that will be tweaked before release is the servers and matchmaking there's not enough time for gameplay over hauls. Same deal as MGO patches will deal with bugs after release (if your lucky).

cheers acid, atleast someone out there appreciates my 2 cents

the problems i raised is not bugs etc. i saw nothing wrong with the game. its to do with CORE gameplay. just IMO, i thought the days of infinate stamina (runnig,jumping) and no movement during scope was gone. but then comes SOCOM.

oh, i am a little bit annoyed as in one of the developers interviews he said "everywhere you can see [shows the map] you can go." well not really when you have doors that are locked...

i am really happy that the developers are doing something atleast - unlike others out there. however there isnt enough depth there to sell me:) but i am happy, one less game to buy in this hectic period, my "to buy list" was growing so large.
