Socom kills it for me almost solely for the reason it's a third person shooter. But this does look promising, unfortunately it's PS3 exclusive so I won't know.

I actually prefer the Third person view, you get a better sense of whats around you and I just like the feel better. I have always like SOCOM better than COD and I definately think this version will give COD4 a run for its money. Definately SOCOM is more tactical and if you run & gun you will most likely be killed pretty quickly.

Hi Guys... This just a little video i made playins Socom: Confrontation hope you like.. 👍
So I take it you can't switch "shoulders" like in MGS4?

No I am pretty sure you can switch shoulders by pressing the left (or right) directional buttons. I tried it but it seemed too unnatural for me.

Hmm, I was at a loading screen for 7 or 8 minutes, then my ps3 reset when I tried quitting the game from the ingame XMB.

Ya that happens, when you try to get into a game already in progress you have to sit at the loading screen for a long time. I have sat for 5 minutes and sat for 15 minutes, you just have to be patient but after 20 minutes you might as well reset it.

Graphically, this game is pretty good looking, it has a gritty, war-torn feel to Crossroads. The lighting is done pretty well but can be prety dark at some points and hard to see. It has a bit different style than COD4, more of a realistic look to it, whereas to me I though COD4 was a bit more 'arcady' although it was also impressive gaphically.

How were you playing in the classic socom view? I was trying to play in that view last night but couldn't find it.

Release is for mid October but apparently may be delayed (but I doubt it).
To get the classic view, go to game options and it should be in something like camera.

Just go pre-order it from Gamestop, they should give you one.

I am pretty sure most places allow you to cancel pre-orders, but why would you want to do that?

I can see where your coming from, theres another store in-town that I can pre-order at but since Gamestop was closest I just went there.

We have 2 EB's in Guelph right? Then we have Microplay on Silvercreek. Actually they're building another EB by the Wal Mart as well I believe.

Ya Stone Rd, Clair and then Microplay sells games for cheaper, I usually go there and don't even bother with EB. I haven't even stepped foot into the Walmart yet, the one that took like 12 years to get.
I'm not sure what weapons are going to be in it, probably a pretty big selection with unlockables and DL packs as you go.

I'm an absolute fan of the M14 so I can only hope they have added it in there. Damn PS3 exclusives
Regardless of it's third person-ness I'd still like to try this out.

The M14 is in there, it has been in SOCOM for a while, its a really cool weapon with the sniper scope and semi-automatic and automatic fire rates.

If I could have it in the way I have in COD4 (semi-auto, non-scoped optics) that would be awesome.
