I'm trying to get a clan together for socom and would like to get a bunch of GTP guys in it. If you want in, I have a thread already started.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=110335

Just let me know and after the beta is released I will start sending invites.
I'm not sure what the clan name will be. I would like to use GTP, but I'm not sure what the mod's in here would think of that. If anyone has any good clan names feel free to post them in the other thread.

We don't get Qore in the UK, so this is the alternate method of distributing beta keys.

Well yeah I knew that, my question was more directed to others who purchased that episode of qore because I havent gotten any code yet through it, and I figured if they are handing the UK's out, we should be getting ours soon.

Core will get it's beta a week later. I bought core just for the socom beta, but after I found out that core subscribers had to wait a week, I went ahead and pre-ordered socom to get in the beta sooner.
 
Damn missed out on the codes :indiff:, oh well im sure there will be a normal way of getting in because this is a public beta...

You guys who dident get a code is not misising much so far.

Right now it is unplayable.

It takes like 10 minutes to get into a game. and after you finnaly manage to get into a game you mostly are just a spectator then have to wait a long time for the game to finish.
The few games i actually managed to get in it was very unfair teams some teams has 10 people, and the other team has 2 or something similar. My Ps3 complete froze one time. Also there is heavy lag in the games sometimes the action just freeze for a second or 2.

1 game is was in the other team couldent kill the last guy in our team, even they where 3 people shooting at him from like 1 meter. he just dident go down, was kind hilarius lol.

Well anyway lets hope it gets better in the next coming days.

Then we can give some better opinion about the game.
 
So I went to EB games (Gamestop) today to pre-order SOCOM. They gave me a piece of paper with it that had the beta clearance code to get the real beta code somewhere on it, so i look and look and theres a peel-away sticker with the code underneath, and as I'm peeling the sticker starts ripping off the part with the code on it. So i Have a 4 and what looks like an 8, but no other numbers.

Do you guys have any suggestions on what I can do to get the code back? How many numbers are in the clearance code so I can try and guess or something (though probably impossible)?

What EB did you get it at? The Stone Rd Mall one? Just bring it back to EB and explain they might be able to do something.

No I went to the new one off of Clair, in that plaza with Licks and Food Basics.

Haha cool I live a few blocks from there. A 2 minute walk to be exact! Look out for an all black P71 Crown Vic next time haha.
Back on topic, try going back there. The people behind the counter seem like nice people.
 
Ya I'm planning to go back there after I eat some dinner, I'm sure they wont have a problem with it, I have the receipt that sheet with the details and just bought it today at lunch. By the way I go to school at BM which is also right there, I had a spare after lunch so I figured might as well go check out EB.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your car, if you see a green subaru outback or dark green Honda Civic LX '97 around, could also be me.

I got into the BETA, and for some reason the 1.5GB download took AGES.

Eventually when I got home a few mins ago I saw it had finished, but when it trys to initialise the network it fails!

Tried both wireless and hard-wired, made no difference, and I dont have any problems with any other games online.

Its almost 1am over here, so I'm gonna go to bed and try again tomorrow.
 
i heard the access coded given can be used up to three times so that friends can also have the opportunity to play...anyone feeling generous? i've never played a SOCOM title and would like to see if it's as good and realistic as they say.
 
I got went into the BETA today, like H3rman said, the 1.5GB file took forever on my system, then once its downloaded you gotta wait another few minutes to install. The first time I went on it failed to connect to the network but I kept on trying it and after about 4 times got in. The menus are kinda slow but its ok for BETA, takes a while to get into a match because some of them take forever.

Many of the match types are kinda like a 'best of' series, so you can be in a game for over an hour until you get back to the lobby. The first time I loaded into a game, it took forever and when I got in the 10 minute match was 8 minutes through.

Ya you can use the code 3 times, one for yourself and the others for anybody else.
 
My interest has been peaked a little after watching Youtube vids. I'd say if it's anything like MSG4 I might be able to handle it (referring to how it's 3rd person).

Edit: Formula1Driver I'd be much appreciative if I could have a code too. Thanks!

I can't really play at the moment because the server traffic are terrible. It takes 5 minutes to join a single game. Small map does have less lag than big maps.
 
The games I have played over the last few days have had a lot less issues with getting on and a lot less lag.

Its looking like a very, very solid game; and certainly could well give COD4 a good run for its money. Nice range of options, reasonable graphics and solid gameplay; its also good to see that the number of bullets required to 'drop' someone is what we would expect from SOCOM, rather than the COD4 norm.
